• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_CDS_VAL009 - Field &1 of view &2 derived from &3 has inactive version ?

  The SAP error message ESH_CDS_VAL009 indicates that a field in a Core Data Services (CDS) view is referencing an inactive version of the view. This typically occurs in the context of SAP HANA and the SAP Business Suite, where CDS views are used to define data models.
  Cause:
  
  Inactive Version: The error arises when the CDS view or one of its dependent views has been modified but not activated. Inactive versions of views cannot be used in queries or other operations.
  Dependency Issues: If a CDS view depends on another view that is inactive, it can lead to this error.
  Transport Issues: If the CDS view was transported from one system to another and the activation was not performed in the target system, it can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Activate the CDS View:
  
  Go to the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) in Eclipse or the SAP GUI.
  Navigate to the CDS view that is causing the error.
  Right-click on the view and select "Activate" to activate the view.
  Ensure that all dependent views are also activated.
  
  
  
  Check Dependencies:
  
  Identify any dependent views or fields that may also be inactive.
  Activate all related views to ensure that the entire hierarchy is active.
  
  
  
  Transport Management:
  
  If the issue is due to a transport, ensure that all relevant objects are included in the transport request and that they are activated in the target system.
  
  
  
  Check for Errors:
  
  After activation, check for any syntax errors or issues in the CDS view that may prevent it from being activated.
  
  
  
  Rebuild the Index (if applicable):
  
  In some cases, rebuilding the index or refreshing the data model may help resolve issues related to inactive views.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
