• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_ENG_CDS_ABAP069 - No CDS-entity selected ?

  The SAP error message ESH_ENG_CDS_ABAP069: No CDS-entity selected typically occurs in the context of using Core Data Services (CDS) views in SAP systems, particularly when working with the Enterprise Search or when trying to execute a CDS-based query.
  Cause:
  This error generally indicates that the system could not find a valid CDS entity to process the request. The reasons for this could include:
  
  No CDS View Defined: There may not be a CDS view defined for the entity you are trying to access.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration for the search or the query might be incorrect, leading to the system not being able to identify the CDS entity.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the query may not have the necessary authorizations to access the CDS view.
  Transport Issues: If the CDS view was recently transported, it might not be activated in the target system.
  Selection Criteria: The selection criteria provided in the query might not match any existing CDS entities.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check CDS View Definition:
  
  Ensure that the CDS view you are trying to access is correctly defined and activated in the system.
  Use transaction code SE11 or SE80 to check the definition of the CDS view.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  If you are using the CDS view in a search or query, check the configuration settings to ensure that the correct CDS entity is specified.
  Verify that the search connector is properly configured to point to the correct CDS view.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the CDS view. You can check this using transaction SU53 after the error occurs.
  
  
  
  Activation:
  
  If the CDS view was recently transported, ensure that it is activated in the target system. You can activate it using transaction SE11.
  
  
  
  Test the Query:
  
  Try executing the CDS view directly in the ABAP Development Tools or using transaction SE16 to see if it returns any data. This can help confirm whether the view is functioning correctly.
  
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria:
  
  If you are using specific selection criteria in your query, ensure that they are valid and correspond to the data available in the CDS view.
