• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_WD_INFRA056 - Structure assigned to database context must be bound to a CDS view ?

  The SAP error message FDT_WD_INFRA056 indicates that a structure assigned to a database context must be bound to a Core Data Services (CDS) view. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Fiori or SAP Gateway development, particularly when working with the Fiori Data Model or when defining data structures for OData services.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  A structure is defined in the context of a database but is not properly linked to a CDS view.
  The system expects that any structure used in a database context should be associated with a CDS view to ensure that it can be properly utilized in the context of data retrieval and manipulation.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Create or Identify a CDS View:
  
  Ensure that there is a CDS view that corresponds to the structure you are trying to use. If it does not exist, you will need to create one.
  
  
  
  Bind the Structure to the CDS View:
  
  In the definition of your database context, bind the structure to the appropriate CDS view. This can typically be done in the Data Modeler or the relevant configuration area where you define your database context.
  
  
  
  Check the Structure Definition:
  
  Verify that the structure is correctly defined and that all fields are compatible with the CDS view. Ensure that the data types and field names match.
  
  
  
  Activate the CDS View:
  
  After making changes, ensure that the CDS view is activated. Sometimes, changes may not take effect until the view is activated.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After binding the structure to the CDS view, test the configuration to ensure that the error is resolved and that the data can be retrieved as expected.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  Data Modeler: The Data Modeler in SAP allows you to create and manage data models, including defining structures, views, and their relationships.
  OData Services: If you are working with OData services, ensure that the service is properly configured to expose the CDS view and that the structure is correctly referenced in the service definition.
