  Incorrect View Name: The name of the SQL view specified in the error message may be incorrect or misspelled.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the CDS view was transported from another system, there may have been issues during the transport process, leading to the view not being available in the target system.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the CDS view.
  
  
  Database Issues: There may be underlying database issues that prevent the view from being recognized.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Activate the View: Go to the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) or the SAP GUI and check if the CDS view is activated. If not, activate it.
  
  In ADT, you can right-click on the view and select "Activate."

  Check the View Name: Verify that the name of the SQL view is correct. Ensure that there are no typos or incorrect references in your code or configuration.
  
  
  Transport Check: If the view was transported, check the transport logs for any errors. You may need to re-transport the object or manually create it in the target system.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the CDS view. You may need to consult with your security team to verify this.
  
  
  Database Consistency: Check the database for any inconsistencies. You may need to run database consistency checks or consult with your database administrator.
  
  
  Rebuild the View: If the view is still not found, consider recreating it or checking for any dependencies that may be missing.
