• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_ENG_CDS_ABAP044 - Choose between single activation and global activation ?

  The SAP error message ESH_ENG_CDS_ABAP044 typically occurs in the context of the SAP HANA database and the Core Data Services (CDS) views. This error indicates that there is a conflict between the activation modes of the CDS views, specifically between single activation and global activation.
  Cause:
  The error arises when there is an attempt to activate a CDS view that is already activated in a different mode. In SAP, there are two activation modes for CDS views:
  
  Single Activation: This mode allows you to activate a single CDS view independently.
  Global Activation: This mode activates the CDS view along with all its dependent objects.
  
  If you try to activate a CDS view that is already activated in one mode while the system expects the other mode, you will encounter this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Activation Mode:
  
  Determine the current activation mode of the CDS view. You can do this by checking the activation logs or the properties of the CDS view in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) or the SAP GUI.
  
  
  
  Choose Activation Mode:
  
  Decide whether you want to activate the CDS view in single mode or global mode. If you want to activate it globally, ensure that all dependent objects are also activated.
  
  
  
  Activate the CDS View:
  
  If you want to activate in single mode, you can do so by right-clicking on the CDS view in ADT and selecting "Activate" or using the appropriate transaction code in SAP GUI.
  If you want to activate globally, you can use the "Activate All" option, which will activate the CDS view along with its dependencies.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no other objects that might be causing conflicts. Sometimes, other CDS views or database objects may need to be activated or deactivated.
  
  
  
  Clear Buffer:
  
  If the issue persists, consider clearing the buffer or cache related to the CDS views. This can sometimes resolve activation issues.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the activation modes or the implications of each, refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed guidance.
