• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DD_MT_SHARING053 - For writable database views currently only sharing type T is allowed ?

  The SAP error message DD_MT_SHARING053 indicates that there is an issue with the sharing type of a writable database view. Specifically, it states that for writable database views, only sharing type 'T' (which stands for "Table") is allowed. This error typically arises when you attempt to create or modify a database view with an unsupported sharing type.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  You are trying to create or modify a database view that is intended to be writable, but you have specified a sharing type other than 'T'.
  The sharing type of the view is set to something like 'V' (for "View") or any other type that is not compatible with writable views.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  Check the Sharing Type: Review the definition of the database view in the Data Dictionary (transaction SE11 or SE14). Ensure that the sharing type is set to 'T'.
  Modify the View: If the sharing type is not 'T', you will need to change it. You can do this by:
  
  Opening the view in the Data Dictionary.
  Changing the sharing type to 'T'.
  Saving and activating the view.
  
  
  Recheck Dependencies: If the view is used in other objects or has dependencies, ensure that those are also compatible with the change you are making.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Database Views: In SAP, database views are used to present data from one or more tables in a unified manner. Writable views allow for data manipulation (insert, update, delete).
  Sharing Types: The sharing type defines how the data in the view can be accessed and manipulated. The types include:
  
  T: Table (writable)
  V: View (non-writable)
  
  
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) to manage database views and SE14 (Database Utility) for database-related operations.
  
  Additional Considerations:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the database view.
  If you are unsure about the implications of changing the sharing type, consult with your SAP Basis or ABAP team for guidance.
  After making changes, test the functionality of the view to ensure it behaves as expected.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the DD_MT_SHARING053 error and successfully work with your writable database views in SAP.
