• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CDSCORE014 - Both Design Object and Design Attribute are needed for Attribute &1 ?

  The SAP error message CDSCORE014 indicates that both a Design Object and a Design Attribute are required for the specified attribute in a Core Data Services (CDS) view. This error typically arises when you are trying to define a CDS view or a projection view, and the necessary components (design object and design attribute) are not properly specified.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Design Object: The design object (like a table or another CDS view) that the attribute is supposed to reference is not defined or is missing.
  Missing Design Attribute: The specific attribute that you are trying to use in your CDS view is not defined in the design object.
  Incorrect Syntax: There may be a syntax error in the definition of the CDS view, leading to the inability to resolve the design object or attribute.
  Inconsistent Naming: The names used in the CDS view may not match the actual names of the design objects or attributes in the database.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Definitions: Ensure that the design object (e.g., a table or another CDS view) is correctly defined and exists in the database.
  Verify Attributes: Make sure that the attribute you are trying to reference exists in the design object. Check for typos or naming inconsistencies.
  Review Syntax: Go through the CDS view definition for any syntax errors. Ensure that the SQL-like syntax used in the CDS view is correct.
  Use Annotations: If applicable, ensure that you are using the correct annotations to define the design object and attributes.
  Activate Objects: Sometimes, the issue may arise if the design object or the CDS view has not been activated. Make sure to activate all relevant objects.
  Check Dependencies: If your CDS view depends on other views or tables, ensure that those dependencies are also correctly defined and activated.
