• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ACMDT_OBJSTATUS225 - CDS entity is flagged as "Access control allowed" but has no DCL ?

  The SAP error message ACMDT_OBJSTATUS225 indicates that a Core Data Services (CDS) entity is marked as "Access control allowed," but there is no Data Control Language (DCL) associated with it. This situation typically arises in the context of SAP S/4HANA or SAP BW/4HANA when working with CDS views and their associated access control mechanisms.
  Cause:
  
  Access Control Configuration: The CDS entity is configured to allow access control, but the necessary DCL (Data Control Language) object that defines the access rules is missing.
  Development Oversight: During the development of the CDS view, the developer may have intended to implement access control but forgot to create the corresponding DCL.
  Transport Issues: If the CDS view and DCL were developed in different systems (e.g., development and production), the DCL might not have been transported correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Create a DCL: If access control is required for the CDS entity, you need to create a DCL that defines the access rules. This can be done using the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) in Eclipse or the SAP GUI.
  
  Define the DCL with the necessary authorization checks.
  Ensure that the DCL is properly linked to the CDS entity.
  
  
  
  Remove Access Control Flag: If access control is not needed for the CDS entity, you can remove the "Access control allowed" flag from the CDS definition.
  
  Open the CDS view in the ABAP Development Tools.
  Modify the view definition to remove the access control setting.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests: If the issue is due to transport problems, ensure that both the CDS view and the DCL are included in the same transport request and that they are transported together to the target system.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  CDS Views: Core Data Services (CDS) are a way to define semantic data models in SAP. They allow for the definition of views that can be consumed by various applications.
  DCL (Data Control Language): DCL is used to define access control for CDS views. It specifies which users or roles have access to the data exposed by the CDS view.
  Authorization Objects: When creating a DCL, you will typically define authorization objects that correspond to the roles and permissions required for accessing the data.
  
  Best Practices:
  
  Always ensure that if you enable access control on a CDS view, a corresponding DCL is created and maintained.
  Regularly review your CDS views and DCLs to ensure they are aligned and that access control is implemented as intended.
  Test the access control settings in a development or quality assurance environment before moving to production.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the ACMDT_OBJSTATUS225 error and ensure proper access control for your CDS entities.
