  • 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:

    1. Missing Objects: The CDS view may reference objects (like tables, fields, or other views) that do not exist or have been deleted.
    2. 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.
    3. Development Environment Changes: Changes made in the development environment (like renaming or deleting fields/tables) that were not properly reflected in the CDS view.
    4. Inconsistent Activation: The CDS view may not have been activated properly after changes were made, leading to inconsistencies in the metadata.

    Solution:

    1. 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.
    2. 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.
    3. 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.
    4. 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.
    5. 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.
    6. Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the CDS view to identify where the inconsistency lies.

    Related Information:

    • CDS Views: Core Data Services (CDS) is a framework for defining semantically rich data models in SAP. They are used extensively in SAP S/4HANA and other SAP applications.
    • Activation: CDS views need to be activated in the system to ensure that the metadata is correctly generated and stored.
    • Transport Management System (TMS): Understanding how transports work in SAP can help in diagnosing issues related to missing objects after a transport.
    • SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.

    If the problem persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or Development team for further assistance.
