• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS2HANA_AUTH088 - View &1 does not exist ?

  The SAP error message RS2HANA_AUTH088 indicates that a specific view (denoted as &1 in the error message) does not exist in the context of SAP HANA. This error typically arises when there is an attempt to access a view that has not been created, has been deleted, or is not accessible due to authorization issues.
  Causes:
  
  View Does Not Exist: The view you are trying to access has not been created in the HANA database.
  View Deleted: The view may have been deleted or renamed.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the query may not have the necessary permissions to access the view.
  Incorrect Naming: There may be a typo or incorrect naming in the view reference.
  Transport Issues: If the view was recently transported from another system, it may not have been successfully created in the target system.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check View Existence:
  
  Use the SAP HANA Studio or SQL console to check if the view exists. You can run a query like:
  SELECT * FROM _SYS_BIC."<schema_name>/<view_name>";
  
  Replace <schema_name> and <view_name> with the appropriate values.
  
  
  
  Create or Recreate the View:
  
  If the view does not exist, you may need to create it. Ensure that the definition of the view is correct and that all underlying tables or views are available.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the view. You can check the roles assigned to the user and verify if they include access to the required views.
  
  
  
  Correct Naming:
  
  Double-check the spelling and case sensitivity of the view name in your query. HANA is case-sensitive, so ensure that the name matches exactly.
  
  
  
  Transport Validation:
  
  If the view was supposed to be transported from another system, check the transport logs to ensure that the transport was successful and that the view was created in the target system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific view or functionality you are working with for any additional troubleshooting steps.
