  The SAP error message /EACC/DMM051 Characteristic &1 from the metadata is not required by the view typically occurs in the context of SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) or SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there is a mismatch between the characteristics defined in the metadata and those required by the view or query you are trying to execute.
  Cause:
  
  
  Mismatch in Metadata: The characteristic mentioned in the error message is defined in the metadata but is not being utilized in the view or query. This can happen if the view was designed without including that characteristic or if the characteristic was removed from the view after it was initially included.
  
  
  View Configuration: The view may have been configured to exclude certain characteristics, leading to this error when the system tries to validate the metadata against the view's requirements.
  
  
  Data Model Changes: Changes in the underlying data model or metadata (like adding or removing characteristics) that are not reflected in the view can also lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check View Configuration: Review the configuration of the view or query to ensure that it aligns with the metadata. If the characteristic is needed, you may need to add it to the view.
  
  
  Update Metadata: If the characteristic is no longer required, consider updating the metadata to remove it. This can involve adjusting the data model or the characteristics defined in the metadata.
  
  
  Recreate the View: If the view is significantly out of sync with the metadata, it may be easier to recreate the view from scratch, ensuring that it accurately reflects the current metadata.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support resources for specific guidance on handling metadata and view configurations in your version of SAP.
