  • 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:

    1. 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.
    2. Missing Design Attribute: The specific attribute that you are trying to use in your CDS view is not defined in the design object.
    3. 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.
    4. 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:

    1. Check Definitions: Ensure that the design object (e.g., a table or another CDS view) is correctly defined and exists in the database.
    2. Verify Attributes: Make sure that the attribute you are trying to reference exists in the design object. Check for typos or naming inconsistencies.
    3. 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.
    4. Use Annotations: If applicable, ensure that you are using the correct annotations to define the design object and attributes.
    5. 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.
    6. Check Dependencies: If your CDS view depends on other views or tables, ensure that those dependencies are also correctly defined and activated.

    Related Information:

    • CDS Views: Core Data Services (CDS) is a framework for defining semantically rich data models in SAP. Understanding how to create and manage CDS views is essential for effective data modeling.
    • SAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for detailed guidelines on creating CDS views and understanding the error messages.
    • SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums for insights and solutions from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
