• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SDDIC_ADT_DDLA205 - Deletion of DDLA objects is not supported ?

  The SAP error message SDDIC_ADT_DDLA205 indicates that the deletion of Data Dictionary Language (DDL) objects is not supported in the context you are trying to perform it. This typically occurs when you attempt to delete certain database objects (like tables, views, etc.) using the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) in Eclipse or other development environments.
  Cause:
  
  Object Type Restrictions: Some DDL objects in SAP are protected from deletion due to system integrity and dependencies. For example, standard SAP objects or objects that are part of a transport request may not be deletable.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to delete the specified objects.
  Development Environment Limitations: The ADT environment may have restrictions on certain operations, including deletions, to prevent accidental loss of important data structures.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Type: Verify if the object you are trying to delete is a standard SAP object or if it has dependencies that prevent deletion. If it is a standard object, consider whether you can instead modify it or create a custom version.
  Use SE11 or SE14: If you need to delete a custom object, try using transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE14 (Database Utility) instead of ADT. These transactions may provide more options for managing database objects.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to delete the object. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify your permissions.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific object type you are working with to understand any restrictions or guidelines for deletion.
  Transport Considerations: If the object is part of a transport request, you may need to manage it through the transport system rather than directly deleting it.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might provide additional context or solutions for this error message.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if other users have encountered similar issues and what solutions they found effective.
  Backup: Always ensure that you have a backup of your data and objects before attempting deletions, especially in production environments.
