• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_ENG_CDS_ABAP500 - &1 is not CDS-based ?

  The SAP error message ESH_ENG_CDS_ABAP500 &1 is not CDS-based typically indicates that there is an issue related to the Core Data Services (CDS) views in the SAP system. This error suggests that the object you are trying to access or use is not defined as a CDS view, which is a requirement for certain operations in the SAP environment, particularly when working with the SAP HANA database or when using the SAP Enterprise Search.
  Cause:
  
  Non-CDS Object: The object you are trying to access (e.g., a table, view, or other data source) is not defined as a CDS view. This could happen if you are trying to use a traditional database table or a non-CDS view in a context that requires a CDS-based object.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the system where the expected CDS view is not properly defined or activated.
  Version Compatibility: The version of the SAP system or the specific components you are using may not support the required CDS functionality.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Type: Verify that the object you are trying to use is indeed a CDS view. You can do this by checking the definition in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) or the SAP GUI.
  Create or Activate CDS View: If the object is not a CDS view, you may need to create a new CDS view that meets your requirements or activate an existing one if it is not active.
  Use Correct Object: Ensure that you are using the correct object in your query or operation. If you need a CDS view, make sure to reference one that is defined in your system.
  Check for Updates: Ensure that your SAP system is up to date with the latest patches and updates, as there may be fixes related to CDS functionality in newer versions.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal or relevant documentation for guidance on creating and using CDS views, as well as troubleshooting common issues.
  
  Related Information:
  
  CDS Views: Core Data Services (CDS) is a framework for defining semantically rich data models in SAP. CDS views are used to define data models that can be consumed by various SAP applications and tools.
  SAP HANA: CDS views are particularly important in SAP HANA environments, where they can leverage the in-memory capabilities of the database for performance improvements.
  ABAP Development Tools (ADT): Use ADT in Eclipse for creating and managing CDS views, as it provides a more modern development environment compared to the traditional SAP GUI.
