SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

The import of a software collection which contains custom CDS views might fail due to an ABAP Dictionary Activation error because:

• A custom CDS view's main data source is a data definition created in the context of Developer Extensibility.
• The views stack was modified but not every view is included in the software collection.
• The data definition was modified and included in an transport request using Transport Organizer in ABAP Environment (developer extensibility) but it is not released an imported in the target system before the dependent software collection is imported.

Steps to check transport logs in ABAP Environment:

1. Log in to the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) using the production system/test system.
2. Navigate to the Transport Organizer view.
3. Right-click on the system node and select "Open Transport Request or Task" and browse the transport request or task
   
4. Click on search options and set the filter as mentioned in the screenshot
   
5. Locate and open the relevant transport request (e.g., ETXXXXXX)
6. Switch to the Transport Logs tab.
7. Under ABAP Dictionary Activation, open the detailed log by pressing Ctrl + Open.
8. Review the log for errors, such as:

Error 1:

DDL Source YY1_CDSVIEW1 could not be activated
(E- The component propertyName does not exist or is not active )
(Package: TEST_YY1_DEFAULT, SW-Comp: LOCAL)
DDL Source YY1_CDSVIEW2 could not be activated
(E- The data source "YY1_CDSVIEW1" does not exist or is not active )
(Package: TEST_YY1_DEFAULT, SW-Comp: LOCAL)

Error 2:

DDL Source YY1_CDSVIEW1 could not be activated
(E- The column proertyName is unknown )
DDL Source YY1_CDSVIEW2 could not be activated
(E- The data source "YY1_CDSVIEW1" does not exist or is not active ) 

Error 3:

ABAP Dictionary Activation    07/08/2025 04:59:38    (8) Ended with errors
See log for request SIDK123456

The import fails due to an ABAP Dictionary Activation error because the custom CDS views and their data sources have not been transported together or they have been transported but not imported yet. Transporting the underlying data sources to the target system, including data definitions created in the context of developer extensibility with ABAP Environment. Need to include the latest version of the data source object in a Transport Request in ABAP Environment. 

In case it is already included in a Transport Request, then simply need to release this request and import it in target system. 

Note: Accessing the ABAP Environment using the production system requires appropriate authorizations.

Business users must be assigned to a business role based on business role template SAP_BR_APPL_SUP_ENG_DEV_SUP to the production tenant with ABAP Environment.
