• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AMDP_CMP_CHECKS003 - Method &1 is no longer read-only ?

  The SAP error message AMDP_CMP_CHECKS003 indicates that a method in an ABAP Managed Database Procedure (AMDP) is no longer considered read-only. This typically occurs when the method is expected to perform read operations only, but it has been modified to include write operations or side effects that change the state of the database.
  Cause:
  
  Method Definition Change: The method was originally defined as read-only, but the implementation has been changed to include data manipulation (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) operations.
  Incorrect Annotations: The method may not have the correct annotations that specify its intended behavior (e.g., READ-ONLY).
  Database Procedure Changes: If the underlying database procedure has been modified to include write operations, it can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Method Implementation: Check the implementation of the method to ensure that it only performs read operations. If it needs to perform write operations, consider changing its definition and usage accordingly.
  Update Annotations: If the method is intended to perform write operations, ensure that it is annotated correctly. You may need to remove the READ-ONLY annotation if it exists.
  Refactor Code: If the method should remain read-only, refactor the code to eliminate any write operations or side effects.
  Check AMDP Interface: Ensure that the AMDP interface is correctly defined and that the method adheres to the expected behavior of the interface.
  Testing: After making changes, thoroughly test the method to ensure it behaves as expected without causing further issues.
  
  Related Information:
  
  AMDP: ABAP Managed Database Procedures allow you to write database procedures in ABAP that can be executed directly in the database layer, improving performance and efficiency.
  Read-Only Methods: Methods that are defined as read-only should not modify any data in the database. They are typically used for fetching data without side effects.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for AMDP and ABAP programming for best practices and guidelines on method definitions and annotations.
