• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_ENG_CDS_ABAP009 - Activation is done cross-client ?

  The SAP error message ESH_ENG_CDS_ABAP009 indicates that there is an issue with the activation of a Core Data Services (CDS) view in the ABAP environment, specifically that the activation is being attempted in a cross-client manner, which is not allowed for certain objects.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises when:
  
  You are trying to activate a CDS view that is defined as client-specific in a client-independent context.
  The CDS view or the underlying data model is not designed to be activated across clients, which is a restriction in the SAP system to maintain data integrity and consistency.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Client Settings:
  
  Ensure that you are in the correct client where the CDS view is intended to be activated. You can check your current client in the SAP GUI.
  
  
  
  Activate in the Correct Client:
  
  If the CDS view is client-specific, make sure to activate it in the specific client where it is defined. You cannot activate it in a different client.
  
  
  
  Review the CDS View Definition:
  
  Check the definition of the CDS view to ensure that it is not inadvertently marked as client-independent if it should be client-specific. You can do this by reviewing the annotations and settings in the CDS view definition.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction SE11 or SE80:
  
  Use transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE80 (Object Navigator) to navigate to the CDS view and check its properties. Make sure that the activation is being done in the correct context.
  
  
  
  Check for Transport Requests:
  
  If the CDS view is part of a transport request, ensure that the transport is correctly configured and that you are not trying to activate it in a different client than the one it was transported to.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP Help Portal or relevant documentation for more details on CDS views and their activation requirements.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues or provide additional guidance related to this error message.
