• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TG108 - & inactive dictionary objects pending export ?

  The SAP error message TG108, which indicates "Inactive dictionary objects pending export," typically arises when there are changes made to the data dictionary (like tables, views, domains, etc.) that have not yet been activated or exported. This can happen during development or when changes are made in the system that require activation before they can be used in production.
  Cause:
  
  Inactive Objects: The primary cause of this error is that there are dictionary objects that have been created or modified but have not been activated. These objects remain in an inactive state and cannot be used until they are activated.
  Transport Issues: If you are working in a transport environment, it may also indicate that there are pending transports that have not been released or imported into the target system.
  Development Environment: This error is common in development environments where multiple developers are making changes to the data dictionary.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Activate the Objects:
  
  Go to the ABAP Dictionary (transaction code SE11).
  Check for any inactive objects by using the "Utilities" menu and selecting "Object List" or "Where-Used List."
  Activate the inactive objects by selecting them and choosing the "Activate" option.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:

  Use Transaction SE14:
  
  You can also use transaction SE14 (Database Utility) to check for inconsistencies in the database and to activate any inactive objects.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Sometimes, objects may be dependent on other objects. Ensure that all dependent objects are also activated.
  
  
  
  Review Logs:
