• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_ENG_CDS_ABAP029 - Skip activation for domain &1: System not on HANA ?

  The SAP error message ESH_ENG_CDS_ABAP029 indicates that there is an issue with activating a Core Data Services (CDS) view in an SAP system that is not running on the SAP HANA database. This error typically arises when you attempt to use features or functionalities that are specific to HANA in a non-HANA environment.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the CDS view or the associated data model is designed to leverage HANA-specific capabilities, such as certain SQL syntax or performance optimizations that are only available on the HANA database. If your SAP system is running on a different database (like Oracle, SQL Server, etc.), the activation of these views will be skipped, leading to this error message.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you have a few options:
  
  
  Check Database Compatibility: Ensure that the CDS views you are trying to activate are compatible with your current database. If they are designed for HANA, you may need to modify them or use alternative views that are compatible with your database.
  
  
  Switch to HANA: If feasible, consider migrating your system to SAP HANA. This would allow you to take full advantage of the capabilities offered by HANA, including the activation of the CDS views.
  
  
  Modify the CDS View: If you cannot switch to HANA, you may need to modify the CDS view to remove HANA-specific features. This could involve changing the SQL syntax or removing certain annotations that are not supported in your current database.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation for the specific CDS views you are working with to understand their requirements and limitations. This can provide insights into what changes may be necessary.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If you are unsure how to proceed or if the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP Support for assistance. They can provide guidance based on your specific system configuration and requirements.
