• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_ENG_CDSVAL_ES019 - At least 1 'presentationMode' TITLE required ?

  The SAP error message ESH_ENG_CDSVAL_ES019 indicates that there is a requirement for at least one 'presentationMode' TITLE in your Core Data Services (CDS) view or entity. This error typically arises when you are working with SAP HANA and trying to define a CDS view that is expected to have a specific presentation mode defined, but it is missing.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the CDS view or entity you are trying to create or activate does not have a defined presentation mode that includes a title. The presentation mode is essential for how the data is displayed in the user interface, and it is expected to have at least one title defined for proper rendering.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that your CDS view includes a presentation mode with a title. Here’s how you can do that:
  
  
  Open the CDS View Definition: Access the CDS view in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) or the relevant development environment.
  
  
  Define Presentation Mode: Add a presentation mode to your CDS view. You can do this by using the @UI annotation. Here’s an example of how to define a presentation mode with a title:
  @AbapCatalog.sqlViewName: 'Z_MY_CDS_VIEW'
  @AbapCatalog.compiler.compareFilter: true
  @AccessControl.authorizationCheck: #CHECK
  @EndUserText.label: 'My CDS View'
  define view Z_MY_CDS_VIEW
  as select from my_table
  {
      key field1,
      field2,
      field3
  }
  @UI.presentationMode: #TABLE
  @UI.lineItem: [
      { position: 10, label: 'Field 1', type: #FOR_SELECTION },
      { position: 20, label: 'Field 2', type: #FOR_SELECTION }
  ]
  @UI.selectionField: [{ position: 10, label: 'Field 1' }]
  
  
  Activate the CDS View: After making the necessary changes, activate the CDS view again.
  
  
  Check for Other Annotations: Ensure that all required annotations are correctly defined in your CDS view. Sometimes, other missing annotations can also lead to similar errors.
  
  
  Related Information:
