  • What causes this issue?

    Condition field <(>&<)>1 is not defined as a constant within the view
    hierarchy, but instead its value is selected from database table
    <(>&<)>2. This will break the "self-join" optimization" (HANA SP11) and
    could therefore lead to performance issues for CDS view extensions.

    System Response

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

    How to fix this error?

    Define condition field <(>&<)>1 as a constant in the corresponding
    branches of the union in the relevant subview, e.g.
    cast( 'X' as sdraft_is_active ) as IsActiveEntity
    cast( ' ' as sdraft_is_active ) as IsActiveEntity
