• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BOBF/CONF_CDS024 - [BO check] DB table &2 has an inappropriate primary key (view &1) ?

  The SAP error message /BOBF/CONF_CDS024 [BO check] DB table &2 has an inappropriate primary key (view &1) typically indicates an issue with the primary key definition in a database table or a Core Data Services (CDS) view related to Business Object Framework (BOF) in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  
  Inappropriate Primary Key: The error suggests that the primary key defined for the database table (&2) does not meet the requirements expected by the CDS view (&1). This could be due to:
  
  Missing fields in the primary key that are required for the unique identification of records.
  The primary key may not be defined correctly in the underlying database table.
  The primary key may not align with the expected structure of the Business Object.
  
  
  
  Inconsistent Data Model: There may be inconsistencies between the data model defined in the CDS view and the actual database table structure.
  
  
  Changes in Data Model: If there have been recent changes to the data model (e.g., adding or removing fields), the primary key may not have been updated accordingly.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Primary Key Definition:
  
  Review the primary key definition of the database table (&2) in transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary).
  Ensure that the primary key fields are correctly defined and that they uniquely identify each record.
  
  
  
  Review CDS View:
  
  Check the definition of the CDS view (&1) in transaction SE11 or SE80.
  Ensure that the fields used in the CDS view align with the primary key of the underlying database table.
  
  
  
  Adjust Data Model:
  
  If necessary, modify the primary key of the database table to include the required fields.
  If the CDS view is expecting a different structure, adjust the view accordingly.
  
  
  
  Activate Objects:
  
  After making changes, ensure that you activate both the database table and the CDS view to reflect the updates.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  If the table or view is used in other objects (like other CDS views, reports, etc.), ensure that those dependencies are also considered and adjusted if necessary.
