• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_SQL_SEARCH025 - DDL source for CDS entity &1 not available in active version ?

  The SAP error message ESH_SQL_SEARCH025 indicates that the Data Definition Language (DDL) source for a Core Data Services (CDS) entity is not available in the active version. This typically occurs in the context of SAP HANA or when working with CDS views in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Inactive Version: The CDS view or the underlying database object may not be activated or is in an inactive state. This can happen if the object was recently created or modified and has not been activated yet.
  Transport Issues: If the CDS view was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to quality assurance), it may not have been activated in the target system.
  Missing Dependencies: The CDS entity may depend on other objects (like tables, views, or other CDS views) that are not available or activated in the system.
  Database Issues: There may be issues with the database connection or the database itself that prevent the CDS entity from being accessed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Activate the CDS View: Go to the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) or the SAP GUI and activate the CDS view. You can do this by navigating to the CDS view in the relevant transaction (e.g., SE11, SE80) and selecting the activation option.
  Check Transport Status: If the CDS view was transported, ensure that it has been activated in the target system. You can check the transport logs for any errors during the transport process.
  Verify Dependencies: Check if all dependent objects of the CDS view are active. If any dependencies are inactive, activate them first.
  Database Connection: Ensure that the database connection is functioning correctly. You can check the database status and connectivity from the SAP HANA Studio or relevant database management tools.
  Check for Errors in the Code: Review the CDS view definition for any syntax errors or issues that might prevent it from being activated.
  
  Related Information:
  
  CDS Views: Core Data Services (CDS) is a framework for defining semantically rich data models in SAP systems. They are used extensively in SAP S/4HANA and SAP Fiori applications.
  Activation Process: When a CDS view is activated, it generates the necessary database artifacts (like tables or views) in the underlying database.
  Transaction Codes: Common transaction codes related to CDS views include SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE80 (Object Navigator), and ADT (ABAP Development Tools).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the specific error message or CDS views.
