• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CFD_REGISTRY_CHECK470 - Characteristic relevant CDS view must be marked as "Is Invisible". ?

  The SAP error message CFD_REGISTRY_CHECK470 indicates that a characteristic in a Core Data Services (CDS) view is marked as relevant for the CDS view but is not set to "Is Invisible." This can lead to issues when the CDS view is being used in certain contexts, such as in analytical applications or reporting.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises when:
  
  A characteristic that is intended to be used in a CDS view is not marked as "Is Invisible," which means it will be visible in the output.
  The system expects certain characteristics to be invisible to ensure that they do not clutter the output or are not used inappropriately in certain contexts.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to modify the CDS view definition to ensure that the relevant characteristic is marked as "Is Invisible." Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Open the CDS View: Use the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) in Eclipse or the appropriate transaction (like SE11 or SE80) to access the CDS view.
  
  
  Locate the Characteristic: Find the characteristic that is causing the error. This will typically be a field that is defined in the CDS view.
  
  
  Set "Is Invisible" Property:
  
  In the CDS view definition, locate the field/characteristic.
  Set the property "Is Invisible" to true. This can usually be done in the annotations section of the CDS view.
  Example annotation:
  @Analytics.dataCategory: #DIMENSION
  @Analytics.dataElement: 'YourCharacteristic'
  @UI.lineItem: [{ position: 10, label: 'Your Label', importance: #HIGH }]
  @UI.selectionField: [{ position: 10 }]
  @UI.hidden: true  // This marks the characteristic as invisible
  
  
  
  
  Activate the CDS View: After making the changes, activate the CDS view to apply the modifications.
  
  
  Test the Changes: Run the application or report that was previously generating the error to ensure that the issue has been resolved.
