System Response

A view cluster can only be classified as "automatically adjustable" if
all subobjects are also "automatically adjustable".
The cluster is activated "unchecked" when the BC Set is activated.
"Checked activation" means that the same data record checks are made as
in dialog maintenance, (in IMG or SM30/SM34), when the data in imported
(BC Set activation).
"Unchecked activation" means theat the data records are activated with
out additional checks (checks via events in generated maintenance
dialog). This activation mode is like importing data by transport.

  Cause:
  The error arises when the compare flag (which indicates whether the view cluster should be compared with its subobjects) is not consistent between the view cluster and its associated subobjects. This inconsistency can occur due to:
  
  Manual Changes: If changes were made manually to the view cluster or its subobjects without updating the compare flag accordingly.
  Transport Issues: If the view cluster was transported from one system to another and the subobjects were not included or were not properly updated.
  Configuration Errors: Errors during the configuration process that lead to discrepancies between the main object and its subcomponents.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the View Cluster: Go to the transaction code SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE11 (Data Dictionary) and check the view cluster in question. Verify the settings and the compare flag.
  
  
  Review Subobjects: Check the subobjects associated with the view cluster. Ensure that their compare flags are set correctly and match the main view cluster.
  
  
  Adjust Compare Flags: If you find discrepancies, adjust the compare flags of the view cluster or its subobjects to ensure they are consistent. This may involve setting the compare flag to the same value for both the view cluster and its subobjects.
  
  
  Transport Management: If the issue is related to transport, ensure that all relevant objects are included in the transport request and that they are correctly imported into the target system.
