• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DHBAS_UTIL036 - Metadata for CDS view &1 is inconsistent; metadata is missing object ?

  The SAP error message DHBAS_UTIL036 indicates that there is an inconsistency in the metadata for a Core Data Services (CDS) view. Specifically, it suggests that the metadata for the specified CDS view is incomplete or that certain objects required for the view are missing.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Objects: The CDS view may reference objects (like tables, fields, or other views) that do not exist or have been deleted.
  Transport Issues: If the CDS view was transported from one system to another, there may have been issues during the transport process that led to missing objects.
  Development Environment Changes: Changes made in the development environment (like renaming or deleting fields/tables) that were not properly reflected in the CDS view.
  Inconsistent Activation: The CDS view may not have been activated properly after changes were made, leading to inconsistencies in the metadata.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Dependencies: Verify that all objects referenced by the CDS view exist and are active. This includes checking for any missing tables, fields, or other views.
  Re-activate the CDS View: Try to re-activate the CDS view in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) or SE11 transaction. This can sometimes resolve metadata inconsistencies.
  Check Transport Logs: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs for any errors or warnings that might indicate what went wrong.
  Review Changes: If there have been recent changes to the database schema or related objects, review those changes to ensure they are compatible with the CDS view.
  Use the ABAP Dictionary: Use transaction SE11 to check the definition of the CDS view and ensure that all referenced objects are correctly defined and active.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the CDS view to identify where the inconsistency lies.
