• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDG_HDB_SEARCH068 - Search view &1 cannot be created in SAP namespace ?

  The SAP error message MDG_HDB_SEARCH068 indicates that a search view cannot be created in the SAP namespace. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) when there are issues related to the creation of search views in the HANA database.
  Cause:
  
  
  Namespace Issues: The error often occurs if the system is trying to create a search view in a namespace that is not allowed or is reserved for SAP standard objects. In SAP, certain namespaces are reserved for SAP's own development, and custom developments should be done in a different namespace.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the operation may not have the necessary authorizations to create objects in the specified namespace.
  
  
  Technical Configuration: There may be issues with the technical configuration of the HANA database or the MDG system that prevent the creation of the search view.
  
  
  Existing Objects: If there is already an object with the same name in the specified namespace, it can lead to conflicts and prevent the creation of the new search view.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Namespace: Ensure that the search view is being created in the correct namespace. Custom developments should typically be done in a customer namespace (e.g., Z or Y).
  
  
  Review Authorizations: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to create objects in the specified namespace. This may involve checking roles and permissions in the SAP system.
  
  
  Technical Configuration: Review the technical configuration of the HANA database and the MDG system. Ensure that all necessary components are correctly set up and that there are no connectivity issues.
  
  
  Check for Existing Objects: Use the SAP transaction codes (like SE11 or SE80) to check if there are existing objects with the same name in the specified namespace. If so, consider renaming the new object or modifying the existing one.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide additional guidance.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists after checking the above points, consider reaching out to SAP Support for further assistance.
