• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DDUT1172 - & is not a CDS view ?

  The SAP error message DDUT1172 typically indicates that there is an issue related to the data dictionary or the underlying data model in SAP, particularly when dealing with Core Data Services (CDS) views. The specific message "is not a CDS view" suggests that the system is expecting a CDS view but is encountering an object that does not meet that expectation.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Object Type: The object you are trying to access or use is not defined as a CDS view. It could be a table, a standard view, or another type of object.
  Naming Confusion: There might be a naming conflict where a table or a different type of view has the same name as a CDS view.
  Transport Issues: If the CDS view was recently transported from another system, it may not have been activated properly in the target system.
  Authorization Issues: Lack of proper authorizations to access the CDS view can also lead to this error.
  System Configuration: The system might not be configured correctly to recognize or utilize CDS views.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify Object Type: Check the object you are trying to access. Ensure that it is indeed a CDS view. You can do this by navigating to the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) or using transaction codes like SE11 or SE80.
  Check Activation: If the CDS view was recently created or transported, ensure that it has been activated in the system. You can activate it in the ADT or using transaction SE11.
  Review Naming Conflicts: Look for any naming conflicts with other database objects. If there is a table or another view with the same name, consider renaming the CDS view.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access the CDS view. You may need to consult with your security team to verify your roles and permissions.
  System Configuration: If you suspect a configuration issue, consult with your Basis team to ensure that the system is set up correctly to support CDS views.
