• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DDIC_ADT_DDLS403 - Dependencies can only be calculated for CDS views ?

  The SAP error message DDIC_ADT_DDLS403 indicates that there is an issue related to the calculation of dependencies for Core Data Services (CDS) views. This error typically arises when you attempt to perform an operation that requires dependency analysis on an object that is not a CDS view.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the operation you are trying to perform (such as activating or analyzing dependencies) is only applicable to CDS views. If you attempt to apply this operation to a non-CDS object (like a traditional database table, view, or other types of ABAP objects), the system will throw this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should ensure that you are working with a CDS view when trying to calculate dependencies. Here are some steps you can take:
  
  
  Verify Object Type: Check the object you are trying to analyze. Make sure it is indeed a CDS view. You can do this by looking at the object type in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) or the SAP GUI.
  
  
  Use the Correct Tools: If you are using ADT, ensure that you are using the appropriate tools and functions that are designed for CDS views. For example, use the "Dependencies" feature specifically for CDS views.
  
  
  Check for Updates: Ensure that your SAP system is up to date. Sometimes, bugs or issues in earlier versions can lead to unexpected errors. Check for any available patches or updates.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for CDS views and dependency analysis to ensure you are following the correct procedures.
  
  
  Seek Help from SAP Community: If you are still facing issues, consider reaching out to the SAP Community or SAP Support for further assistance. They may provide insights specific to your system configuration or version.
