• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SOS_PERSISTENCE103 - Object activation failed - object is marked as deleted ?

  The SAP error message SOS_PERSISTENCE103, which states "Object activation failed - object is marked as deleted," typically occurs in the context of SAP's persistence layer, particularly when dealing with database objects or application components that have been marked for deletion but are still being referenced or activated.
  Cause:
  
  Object Marked for Deletion: The primary cause of this error is that the object (such as a database table, view, or other application component) has been marked as deleted in the system but is still being referenced in some way.
  Inconsistent State: The system may be in an inconsistent state where the object is expected to be active, but it has been flagged for deletion.
  Transport Issues: If the object was part of a transport request that was not properly imported or was partially imported, it could lead to this error.
  Development Environment Issues: In a development environment, if an object is deleted in one transport layer but still exists in another, it can lead to activation issues.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Status: Verify the status of the object in the relevant transaction (e.g., SE11 for database tables, SE80 for development objects). Ensure that it is not marked for deletion.
  Re-activate the Object: If the object is indeed marked for deletion but should not be, you can try to re-activate it. This can often be done by:
  
  Going to the relevant transaction (e.g., SE11, SE80).
  Finding the object and checking its properties.
  If it is marked for deletion, you may need to remove the deletion flag.
  
  
  Transport Management: If the issue is related to transport, ensure that all relevant transports have been correctly imported and that there are no inconsistencies between development, quality, and production environments.
  Check Dependencies: Ensure that there are no other objects or components that depend on the deleted object. If there are, you may need to address those dependencies first.
  Database Consistency Check: In some cases, running a database consistency check or repair may be necessary to resolve issues related to deleted objects.
  Consult SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  Related Information:
