• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DD_MT_SHARING_CHK005 - &1 CDS View(s) found directly accessing the object (or a DDIC view on it) ?

  The SAP error message DD_MT_SHARING_CHK005 indicates that there are one or more Core Data Services (CDS) views that are directly accessing a database object (or a Data Dictionary view on it) that is not allowed due to sharing restrictions. This typically occurs in the context of data model changes or when trying to activate or transport objects that have dependencies on other objects.
  Cause:
  
  Direct Access Violation: The error arises when a CDS view is found to be directly accessing a database table or a Data Dictionary (DDIC) view that is not permitted. This can happen if the CDS view is not properly defined to respect the sharing rules set in the system.
  Inconsistent Data Model: Changes in the underlying data model (like changes to tables or views) can lead to inconsistencies if dependent objects are not updated accordingly.
  Transport Issues: If you are trying to transport objects between systems, the dependencies may not be correctly defined, leading to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review CDS View Definitions: Check the definitions of the CDS views mentioned in the error message. Ensure that they are not directly accessing the underlying database tables or DDIC views. Instead, they should be accessing other CDS views or using appropriate annotations.
  Use of Views: If a CDS view needs to access data from a table, it should do so through another CDS view that abstracts the table. This maintains the integrity of the data model and adheres to sharing rules.
  Adjust Sharing Settings: If necessary, adjust the sharing settings in the data model to allow for the required access. This may involve changing the way views are defined or how they interact with underlying tables.
  Check for Dependencies: Use transaction codes like SE11 or SE80 to analyze the dependencies of the CDS views and ensure that all related objects are correctly defined and activated.
  Re-activate Objects: After making the necessary changes, re-activate the affected CDS views and any dependent objects to ensure that the changes take effect.
  
  Related Information:
  
  CDS Views: Core Data Services (CDS) are a way to define semantic data models in SAP. They allow for the creation of complex data models that can be consumed by various applications.
  Data Dictionary (DDIC): The Data Dictionary in SAP contains metadata about the data structures in the system, including tables, views, and data elements.
  Transport Management: When transporting objects between SAP systems, it is crucial to ensure that all dependencies are included in the transport request to avoid issues like this.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult SAP Notes or reach out to SAP support for further assistance.
