• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CFD_MIGRATION002 - Registry CDS views could not be modified ?

  The SAP error message CFD_MIGRATION002, which states "Registry CDS views could not be modified," typically occurs during the migration or activation of Core Data Services (CDS) views in the SAP system. This error can arise due to various reasons, including issues with the underlying database, permissions, or inconsistencies in the CDS view definitions.
  Causes:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user executing the migration may not have the necessary authorizations to modify the CDS views.
  Database Locking: The database might be locked due to ongoing transactions or other processes that prevent modifications.
  Inconsistent Definitions: There may be inconsistencies or errors in the CDS view definitions that prevent them from being modified.
