  The SAP error message SCTS_AIM038 indicates that there is an attempt to call an inactive mass activation for a specific object or transport request. This typically occurs in the context of the SAP Change and Transport System (CTS) when trying to activate changes that have not been properly activated or are in an inactive state.
  Cause:
  
  Inactive Objects: The error usually arises when you are trying to activate a transport request or a set of changes that includes objects that are not active in the system.
  Transport Request Issues: The transport request may not have been released properly, or the objects within the request may not have been activated in the target system.
  Development Environment: If you are working in a development environment, it is possible that the changes were not saved or activated correctly before attempting to mass activate them.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Status: Verify the status of the objects involved in the transport request. You can do this by checking the object list in the transport request and ensuring that all objects are active.
  Activate Objects Individually: If you find that certain objects are inactive, try activating them individually before attempting a mass activation again.
  Release Transport Request: Ensure that the transport request has been released properly. You can do this in the Transport Organizer (SE09 or SE10).
  Check Transport Logs: Review the transport logs for any errors or warnings that might indicate why the activation failed.
  Use Transaction SE80: You can use transaction SE80 to navigate to the specific objects and check their activation status.
  Re-import Transport: If necessary, you may need to re-import the transport request into the target system to ensure that all objects are correctly activated.
