  Missing or Inconsistent Data Model: The access view may depend on other objects (like tables, views, or other access views) that are not properly defined or activated.
  Transport Issues: If the access view was transported from another system, there may be inconsistencies or missing objects in the target system.
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to activate the view may not have the necessary authorizations.
