• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CFD_CDS_ADAPTER_UTIL011 - Core Data Services (CDS) definition file &1 contains more than one view. ?

  The SAP error message CFD_CDS_ADAPTER_UTIL011 indicates that there is an issue with a Core Data Services (CDS) definition file in your SAP system. Specifically, the error states that the CDS definition file contains more than one view, which is not allowed. Each CDS definition file should define only one view.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the CDS definition file (which typically has a .hdbcds or .cds extension) contains multiple view definitions. In SAP, each CDS file is expected to define a single view, and having multiple views in one file violates this requirement.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to separate the views into individual CDS definition files. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Identify the CDS Definition File: Determine which CDS definition file is causing the error. The error message should provide the name of the file (indicated by &1).
  
  
  Open the CDS Definition File: Use the appropriate development environment (like SAP HANA Studio or SAP Business Application Studio) to open the identified CDS definition file.
  
  
  Separate the Views: If the file contains multiple view definitions, you need to:
  
  Copy each view definition into its own separate CDS definition file.
  Ensure that each new file has a unique name and follows the naming conventions.
  
  
  
  Save and Activate: After separating the views, save each new CDS definition file and activate them in the SAP system.
  
  
  Test: After making these changes, test the CDS views to ensure they are functioning correctly and that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  Related Information:
