• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CFD_REGISTRY_CHECK159 - CDS View is used as Redirect View and must be set to invisible ?

  The SAP error message "CFD_REGISTRY_CHECK159: CDS View is used as Redirect View and must be set to invisible" typically occurs in the context of Core Data Services (CDS) views in SAP, particularly when dealing with Fiori applications or SAP Gateway services. This error indicates that a CDS view is being used as a redirect view, but it has not been configured to be invisible, which is a requirement for redirect views.
  Cause:
  
  Redirect View Configuration: The CDS view is intended to act as a redirect view, which means it should not be directly visible to the end-users. Instead, it should redirect to another view or service.
  Visibility Setting: The visibility of the CDS view is not set to "invisible." This is typically done in the CDS view definition using the @AbapCatalog.sqlViewAppendName annotation or similar annotations.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to modify the CDS view definition to set its visibility to invisible. Here’s how you can do that:
  
  
  Open the CDS View: Access the CDS view in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) or the relevant development environment.
  
  
  Modify the Annotations: Add or modify the annotation to set the view as invisible. You can do this by adding the following annotation to your CDS view definition:
  @AbapCatalog.sqlViewName: 'YOUR_SQL_VIEW_NAME'
  @AbapCatalog.compiler.compareFilter: true
  @AccessControl.authorizationCheck: #CHECK
  @EndUserText.label: 'Your CDS View Description'
  @OData.publish: true
  @UI: { lineItem: [ ... ] }
  @UI: { selectionField: [ ... ] }
  @Analytics.dataCategory: #CUBE
  @ObjectModel: { 
      useCreate: true, 
      useUpdate: true, 
      useDelete: true 
  }
  @ObjectModel.usage: #INVISIBLE
  define view Your_CDS_View as select from ...
  Make sure to replace Your_CDS_View and other placeholders with your actual view name and relevant details.
  
  
  Activate the CDS View: After making the changes, activate the CDS view to apply the new settings.
  
  
  Test the Changes: After activation, test the application or service that was previously throwing the error to ensure that the issue is resolved.
