• The SAP error message MDG_ANA_CONF_MSG004 indicates that a CDS (Core Data Services) view must be in a customer namespace. This error typically arises when you are trying to create or activate a CDS view that is not in the appropriate namespace designated for customer developments.
  
  Cause:
  
  Namespace Violation: In SAP, standard objects are usually in the SAP namespace (e.g., SAP_, SAP_BC_, etc.), while customer-specific developments should be in a customer namespace (e.g., Z* or Y*). If you attempt to create a CDS view in the standard namespace, you will encounter this error.
  Incorrect Naming Convention: The naming convention for the CDS view does not follow the required customer namespace rules.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Change the Namespace: Ensure that the CDS view is created in the correct customer namespace. You can do this by:
  
  Using a transaction like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE80 (Object Navigator) to create the CDS view.
  When creating the view, make sure to prefix the name
