  The SAP error message CFD_REGISTRY_CHECK178 indicates an issue related to the visibility settings of views in the context of SAP Fiori or SAP UI5 applications. This error typically arises when there is a mismatch in the configuration of views, particularly when a redirect view is referencing an underlying view that is not set to invisible.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  A redirect view is trying to use an underlying view that is not configured correctly.
  The underlying view must be set to invisible to ensure that it does not interfere with the redirect view's functionality.
  This can happen due to incorrect settings in the view definitions or during the development of the application.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the View Configuration:
  
  Open the configuration of the redirect view and the underlying view in the SAP Web IDE or your development environment.
  Ensure that the underlying view is set to invisible. This can typically be done in the XML view definition or in the controller.
  
  
  
  Modify the Visibility Setting:
  
  In the XML view of the underlying view, you can set the visibility property to "false" or "invisible". For example:
  <View xmlns="sap.ui.core.mvc" xmlns:mvc="sap.ui.core.mvc" xmlns:html="sap.ui.core.HTML" visible="false">
    <!-- Your view content -->
  </View>
  
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no other dependencies or references that might be causing the underlying view to be visible when it should not be.
  
  
  
  Test the Application:
  
  After making the changes, redeploy the application and test it to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
