• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ATM_ATTRIBUTE017 - The &1 CDS is not an org. or customizing view and does not have a DCL ?

  The SAP error message ATM_ATTRIBUTE017 indicates that the Core Data Services (CDS) view you are trying to access or use is neither an organizational view nor a customizing view, and it does not have a Data Control Layer (DCL) associated with it. This error typically arises in the context of authorization checks or when trying to use CDS views in a way that requires specific configurations.
  Cause:
  
  View Type: The CDS view you are trying to use is not defined as an organizational or customizing view. Organizational views are typically used for data that is specific to organizational units, while customizing views are used for configuration data.
  Missing DCL: The CDS view does not have an associated Data Control Layer (DCL) that defines the authorization checks for the data being accessed. DCLs are used to manage access control for CDS views.
  Incorrect Usage: The CDS view may be used in a context that requires it to be an organizational or customizing view, but it is not defined as such.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the CDS View Definition: Review the definition of the CDS view in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) or the relevant transaction (e.g., SE11). Ensure that it is defined correctly as an organizational or customizing view if that is the intended use.
  Create or Assign a DCL: If the CDS view needs to have a DCL for authorization purposes, you can create a DCL for the view. This involves defining the necessary authorization checks and associating the DCL with the CDS view.
  Review Usage Context: Ensure that you are using the CDS view in a context that is appropriate for its definition. If it is not meant to be used as an organizational or customizing view, consider using a different view that meets the requirements.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more information on CDS views, DCLs, and their configurations. This can provide insights into best practices and common configurations.
