• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CFD_REGISTRY_CHECK471 - Characteristic relevant CDS context and normal context must not be mixed. ?

  The SAP error message CFD_REGISTRY_CHECK471 indicates that there is a conflict between the characteristics defined in the Core Data Services (CDS) context. Specifically, it suggests that a characteristic that is relevant for the CDS context is being mixed with one that is relevant for the normal context, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises in scenarios where:
  
  Mixed Contexts: You are trying to use characteristics that belong to different contexts (CDS vs. normal) in the same query or data model.
  Model Definition Issues: There may be an issue in the way the CDS views or data models are defined, leading to the mixing of contexts.
  Inconsistent Annotations: The annotations in the CDS view might not be correctly set, causing the system to misinterpret the context of the characteristics.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:

  Check Annotations: Ensure that the annotations for the characteristics are correctly defined. For example, if a characteristic is meant to be used in a CDS context, it should have the appropriate annotations that indicate its relevance.
  
  
  Refactor the Query: If you are combining multiple CDS views or queries, consider refactoring them to ensure that they are compatible. You may need to create separate views for different contexts.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for Core Data Services to understand the rules and best practices for defining characteristics and contexts.
