• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_ENG_CDS_ABAP090 - CDS-entity & does not exist or has no @EnterpriseSearch-annotation ?

  The SAP error message ESH_ENG_CDS_ABAP090 indicates that a Core Data Services (CDS) entity is either not defined or does not have the required @EnterpriseSearch annotation. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Enterprise Search, where the system is trying to access a CDS view that is expected to be indexed for search but is either missing or improperly configured.
  Cause
  
  Non-existent CDS Entity: The specified CDS entity does not exist in the system. This could be due to a typo in the entity name or the entity not being activated.
  Missing Annotation: The CDS entity exists but lacks the @EnterpriseSearch annotation, which is necessary for the entity to be indexed and searchable in the Enterprise Search framework.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the CDS entity.
  Transport Issues: If the CDS entity was recently transported from another system, it may not have been activated properly in the target system.
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Entity Existence:
  
  Verify that the CDS entity exists in the system. You can do this by checking the ABAP Dictionary (SE11) or using the ABAP Development Tools in Eclipse.
  Ensure that the entity name is spelled correctly in the code or configuration where the error is occurring.
  
  
  
  Add the @EnterpriseSearch Annotation:
  
  If the CDS entity exists but lacks the @EnterpriseSearch annotation, you need to add it. The annotation should look something like this:
  @AbapCatalog.sqlViewName: 'YOUR_SQL_VIEW_NAME'
  @AbapCatalog.compiler.compareFilter: true
  @Search.searchable: true
  @EnterpriseSearch.searchable: true
  define view YOUR_CDS_VIEW as select from YOUR_TABLE
  {
      // Your fields here
  }
  
  After adding the annotation, activate the CDS view.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the CDS entity. This may involve checking roles and authorizations in transaction PFCG.
  
  
  
  Re-transport and Activate:
  
  If the CDS entity was transported, ensure that it has been activated in the target system. You may need to re-transport or manually activate the entity.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that all dependent objects of the CDS view are also activated and available.
