• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSODP_ABAP_CDS321 - Error reading CDC annotations: table is not active ?

  The SAP error message RSODP_ABAP_CDS321 indicates that there is an issue with reading Core Data Services (CDS) annotations due to a table not being active. This error typically arises in the context of SAP ABAP development, particularly when working with CDS views and the underlying database tables.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Inactive Table: The database table that the CDS view is based on is not active. This can happen if the table has been created but not activated, or if it has been modified and needs to be reactivated.
  Transport Issues: If the table was transported from one system to another, it might not have been activated in the target system.
  Database Issues: There may be issues with the database itself, such as missing or corrupted objects.
  Development Environment: If you are working in a development environment, the table might not be properly set up or might be in a state that prevents it from being accessed.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSODP_ABAP_CDS321 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Table Activation:
  
  Go to the Data Dictionary (transaction SE11).
  Enter the name of the table that is causing the issue.
  Check if the table is active. If it is not, activate it by clicking on the "Activate" button.
  
  
  
  Check for Transport Issues:
  
  If the table was recently transported, ensure that it has been activated in the target system.
  You can check the transport logs for any errors related to the table.
  
  
  
  Recheck CDS View:
  
  If the CDS view is dependent on the table, ensure that the CDS view is also active. You can do this in transaction SE11 or SE80.
  If you have made changes to the underlying table structure, you may need to adjust the CDS view accordingly.
  
  
  
  Database Consistency:
  
  Run a consistency check on the database to ensure that all objects are in a valid state. You can use transaction SE14 for this purpose.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no other dependent objects (like indexes, views, etc.) that are inactive or causing issues.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP Notes or documentation related to the specific error message for any additional troubleshooting steps or patches that may be required.
