  The SAP error message SV309, which states "Only use views of type 'Maintenance view'," typically occurs when you are trying to use a view that is not a maintenance view in a transaction or program that requires a maintenance view.

  Use the Correct Transaction: Ensure that you are using the correct transaction that is intended for maintenance views. For example, transactions like SM30 or SM31 are typically used for maintaining views.
