• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_ENG_CDS_ABAP028 - DDL artifact &1 already contained in transport request &2 ?

  The SAP error message ESH_ENG_CDS_ABAP028 indicates that there is a conflict with a Core Data Services (CDS) view or DDL artifact that is already included in a transport request. This typically occurs when you attempt to create or modify a CDS view that has already been included in a transport request that has not yet been released or imported into the target system.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Inclusion: The DDL artifact (like a CDS view) you are trying to create or modify is already part of an existing transport request.
  Transport Request Not Released: The transport request containing the DDL artifact has not been released, which prevents further modifications or creations of the same artifact.
  Development Environment: This often happens in a development environment where multiple developers are working on similar objects.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Transport Requests:
  
  Use transaction code SE09 or SE10 to check the transport requests in your system.
  Look for the transport request that contains the DDL artifact mentioned in the error message.
  
  
  
  Release the Transport Request:
  
  If the transport request is not yet released and you have the necessary authorizations, consider releasing it. This will allow you to create or modify the DDL artifact without conflicts.
  
  
  
  Modify the Existing Artifact:
  
  If you need to make changes to the existing DDL artifact, you should do so in the transport request where it is already included. This way, you avoid duplication.
  
  
  
  Create a New Transport Request:
  
  If you need to create a new DDL artifact, ensure that it does not conflict with existing ones. You may need to create it in a new transport request that does not include the conflicting artifact.
  
  
  
  Consult with Team Members:
  
  If you are working in a team, communicate with your colleagues to ensure that no one else is working on the same DDL artifact simultaneously.
