• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ACMDT_OBJSTATUS315 - PFCG mapping metadata entry refers to an invalid CDS entity (&1) ?

  The SAP error message ACMDT_OBJSTATUS315 indicates that there is an issue with a PFCG (Profile Generator) mapping metadata entry that refers to an invalid CDS (Core Data Services) entity. This typically occurs when the system is unable to find the specified CDS entity, which can happen for several reasons.
  Causes:
  
  Deleted or Renamed CDS Entity: The CDS entity that the PFCG mapping is referring to may have been deleted or renamed, leading to a broken reference.
  Transport Issues: If the CDS entity was transported from one system to another, there may have been issues during the transport process that caused the entity to not be available in the target system.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the CDS entity, leading to the perception that it is invalid.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the PFCG role or the associated CDS entity.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check the CDS Entity: Verify that the CDS entity exists in the system. You can do this by using transaction code SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE80 (Object Navigator) to search for the entity.
  Update PFCG Role: If the CDS entity has been renamed or deleted, update the PFCG role to reference the correct entity. You can do this by:
  
  Going to transaction PFCG.
  Selecting the role in question.
  Checking the authorization data and making necessary adjustments.
  
  
  Transport Check: If the issue arose after a transport, ensure that the transport was successful and that all necessary objects were included. You may need to re-transport the CDS entity.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the CDS entity. You can check this in transaction SU53 after attempting to access the role.
  Recreate the Role: If the role is significantly corrupted, consider recreating the PFCG role from scratch and reassigning the necessary authorizations.
