• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSODP081 - FROM clause in DDL view &1 is not a CDS view of category CUBE ?

  The SAP error message RSODP081 indicates that there is an issue with the definition of a DDL (Data Definition Language) view in SAP HANA, specifically that the view in question is not a Core Data Services (CDS) view of the category "CUBE". This error typically arises when you are trying to use a DDL view that does not meet the requirements for a cube in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect View Type: The view you are trying to use is not defined as a CDS view of type "CUBE". In SAP BW, a cube is expected to have specific characteristics and structure that allow it to be used for reporting and data analysis.
  View Definition Issues: The DDL view may not have the necessary annotations or structure that qualifies it as a cube. This could be due to missing key fields, measures, or dimensions.
  Misconfiguration: There may be a misconfiguration in the way the view is being referenced or used in the context of a data model or query.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check View Definition: Ensure that the view you are trying to use is indeed a CDS view and that it is defined with the appropriate annotations for a cube. You can do this by checking the view definition in the ABAP Development Tools or HANA Studio.
  
  The view should have the annotation @Analytics.dataCategory: #CUBE.
  
  
  
  Create or Modify the View: If the view is not a cube, you may need to create a new CDS view or modify the existing one to include the necessary annotations and structure.
  
  Ensure that the view includes measures and dimensions as required for a cube.
  
  
  
  Use the Correct View: If you have multiple views, make sure you are referencing the correct one that is defined as a cube.
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Ensure that all underlying tables and views that the DDL view depends on are correctly defined and accessible.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for creating CDS views and specifically for defining cubes to ensure compliance with the required standards.
