This error typically arises in the context of SAP S/4HANA or SAP BW/4HANA when working with CDS views and their associated annotations.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  A CDS view is defined as a redirect view in the system, but the necessary flag or annotation to indicate that it is a redirect view is not set.

  Check Dependencies:
  
  Verify that the target view or data source that the redirect view is supposed to point to is correctly defined and active.
  Ensure that there are no issues with the underlying data model that could affect the redirect functionality.
  
  
  
  Activate the CDS View:
