  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UD361 - View & is new and is not active ?

    The SAP error message UD361, which states "View & is new and is not active," typically occurs when you are trying to access or use a database view that has been created but not yet activated in the system. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when a new view is created in the Data Dictionary (SE11) or when changes are made to an existing view.

    Cause:

    1. Newly Created View: The view has been created but not activated.
    2. Changes Made: Changes have been made to an existing view, and it has not been reactivated.
    3. Transport Issues: If the view was transported from another system, it may not have been activated in the target system.

    Solution:

    To resolve the error, you need to activate the view in the SAP system. Here are the steps to do this:

    1. Go to Transaction SE11:

      • Enter the transaction code SE11 in the command field.
    2. Select the View:

      • In the Data Dictionary screen, select "View" and enter the name of the view that is causing the error.
    3. Activate the View:

      • Click on the "Activate" button (or use the menu option Utilities > Activate).
      • If there are no errors in the view definition, it should activate successfully.
    4. Check for Errors:

      • If activation fails, check for any syntax errors or issues in the view definition that need to be resolved before activation.
    5. Transport Requests:

      • If the view was transported, ensure that the transport request is correctly imported and activated in the target system.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction SE11: This is the Data Dictionary transaction where you can create, modify, and activate database objects like tables, views, and data elements.
    • Activation Process: Activation is the process of making the object available for use in the system. It compiles the object and checks for any inconsistencies.
    • Transport Management System (TMS): If you are working in a landscape with multiple SAP systems (e.g., Development, Quality Assurance, Production), ensure that the transport requests are properly managed and activated in each system.

    If you continue to experience issues after following these steps, it may be helpful to consult with your SAP Basis team or check the SAP Notes for any specific issues related to the view or the error message.
