• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CFD_REGISTRY_CHECK164 - Query flag is set, but CDS View &1 is not an Analytical Query ?

  The SAP error message CFD_REGISTRY_CHECK164 indicates that there is a mismatch between the expected configuration of a Core Data Services (CDS) view and its actual definition. Specifically, the error states that a query flag is set for a CDS view, but the view is not defined as an Analytical Query.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when:
  
  A CDS view is intended to be used as an analytical query (for example, in SAP Analytics Cloud or SAP Fiori applications), but it has not been defined correctly as such.
  The query flag is set in the metadata of the CDS view, but the view lacks the necessary annotations that would classify it as an analytical query.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the CDS View Definition:
  
  Open the CDS view in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) or the relevant development environment.
  Ensure that the view is annotated correctly to be recognized as an analytical query.
  
  
  
  Add Required Annotations:
  
  Ensure that the CDS view includes the necessary annotations for analytical queries. For example, you should have annotations like @Analytics.query: true and other relevant analytical annotations.
  Example of a correct annotation:
  @AbapCatalog.sqlViewName: 'Z_MY_CDS_VIEW'
  @Analytics.query: true
  @EndUserText.label: 'My Analytical Query'
  define view Z_MY_CDS_VIEW as select from my_table
  {
      key field1,
      field2,
      ...
  }
  
  
  
  
  Check Query Flag:
  
  If the view is not intended to be an analytical query, you may need to remove the query flag from the metadata or adjust the configuration to match the intended use.
  
  
  
  Activate the CDS View:
  
  After making the necessary changes, activate the CDS view to ensure that the changes take effect.
  
  
  
  Test the Query:
  
  After activation, test the query again in the context where the error was originally encountered (e.g., in a report, Fiori app, or analytical tool).
