  Cause:
  
  Inactive Database View: The database view that corresponds to the CDS entity is not activated. This can happen if the view was created but not activated, or if it was deactivated for some reason.
  Transport Issues: If the CDS entity or its associated database 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.
  Development Errors: There may be errors in the definition of the CDS view or its underlying database view that prevent it from being activated.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to activate the view.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Activate the Database View:
  
  Go to the ABAP Development Workbench (transaction SE11).
  Enter the name of the database view that corresponds to the CDS entity.
