• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DDLS437 - CDS view &: parameter & was added ?

  The SAP error message DDLS437 typically occurs when there is a change in the definition of a Core Data Services (CDS) view, specifically when a new parameter has been added to the view. This can happen during the development or modification of CDS views in the ABAP environment.
  Cause:
  The error message indicates that the CDS view has been modified to include a new parameter, which may not be compatible with existing references or usages of that view. This can lead to issues in dependent objects, such as reports, queries, or other CDS views that rely on the modified view.
  Solution:
  To resolve the DDLS437 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the CDS View Definition: Review the definition of the CDS view to understand the changes made, particularly the new parameter that has been added.
  
  
  Update Dependent Objects: Identify all dependent objects that use the CDS view. This includes other CDS views, reports, or any other objects that reference the modified view. You may need to update these objects to accommodate the new parameter.
  
  
  Adjust Parameter Usage: If the new parameter is optional, ensure that the dependent objects are updated to handle the parameter correctly. If it is mandatory, ensure that all calls to the CDS view include the new parameter.
  
  
  Activate the CDS View: After making the necessary adjustments, activate the CDS view and any dependent objects to ensure that the changes are reflected in the system.
  
  
  Test the Changes: After activation, perform thorough testing to ensure that the CDS view and its dependent objects function as expected without any errors.
