• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS2HANA_VIEW150 - External SAP HANA view: Variable '&1' set as mandatory ?

  The SAP error message RS2HANA_VIEW150 indicates that a variable in an external SAP HANA view is set as mandatory, but it has not been provided with a value when the view is being executed. This can occur in scenarios where the view is being called without the necessary input parameters.
  Cause:
  
  Mandatory Variable: The variable in question is defined as mandatory in the HANA view, meaning that it requires a value to be passed when the view is executed.
  Missing Input: The execution context (e.g., a report, query, or another view) does not supply a value for this mandatory variable, leading to the error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the HANA View Definition:
  
  Open the HANA view in the SAP HANA Studio or Web IDE.
  Identify the variable that is marked as mandatory.
  
  
  
  Provide a Value for the Variable:
  
  When executing the view, ensure that you provide a value for the mandatory variable. This can typically be done in the selection screen or parameters of the report or query that is calling the HANA view.
  
  
  
  Modify the Variable Settings (if applicable):
  
  If it is appropriate for your use case, you can change the variable from mandatory to optional in the HANA view definition. However, this should be done with caution, as it may affect the logic of the view.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After providing the necessary input or modifying the variable settings, test the execution of the view again to ensure that the error is resolved.
