Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CFD_REGISTRY_CHECK032 - CDS View &1 should not be a Private View (Annotation @VDM.Private) ?

  The SAP error message CFD_REGISTRY_CHECK032 indicates that a Core Data Services (CDS) view is marked as a private view using the annotation @VDM.Private, which is not allowed in certain contexts, particularly when the view is intended to be used in a public or exposed manner, such as in a Virtual Data Model (VDM).
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  The CDS view is annotated with @VDM.Private, which restricts its visibility and usage to internal purposes only.
  The system expects the CDS view to be public (i.e., accessible for consumption in OData services, analytical queries, etc.) but finds it marked as private.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Remove the Private Annotation:
  
  If the CDS view is intended to be public, you should remove the @VDM.Private annotation from the view definition. This will allow the view to be used in contexts where public visibility is required.
  
  Example:
  define view Z_MY_CDS_VIEW
  as select from my_table
  {
      key field1,
      field2
  }
  // Remove the following line if it exists
  // @VDM.Private: true
  
  
  Check Usage Context:
  
  Ensure that the CDS view is being used in a context that requires it to be public. If it is indeed meant to be private, then you should not use it in contexts that require public visibility.
  
  
  
  Review Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation regarding CDS views and the use of annotations to ensure that you are following best practices and guidelines.
  
  
  
  Consult with Team:
  
  If you are unsure whether the view should be public or private, consult with your development team or stakeholders to clarify the intended use of the CDS view.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  Virtual Data Model (VDM): The VDM is a layer in SAP that allows for the consumption of data from various sources in a unified manner, often used in OData services and analytical applications.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the CFD_REGISTRY_CHECK032 error and ensure that your CDS view is correctly configured for its intended use.
