• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSODP_ABAP_CDS002 - CDS view &1 does not have data category &2 ?

  The SAP error message RSODP_ABAP_CDS002 indicates that a Core Data Services (CDS) view is being accessed with a data category that it does not support. This typically occurs when the CDS view is expected to return data in a certain format or category (like DIMENSION, MEASURE, etc.), but the view is not defined to handle that category.
  Cause
  The error can occur due to several reasons:
  
  Incorrect Data Category: The CDS view is being called with a data category that it does not support. For example, if a view is defined as a DIMENSION but is being accessed as a MEASURE.
  View Definition Issues: The CDS view may not be properly defined to include the necessary annotations for the expected data category.
  Incompatibility with Query: The query or the application trying to access the CDS view may be incompatible with the view's definition.
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the CDS View Definition:
  
  Open the CDS view in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) or SE11 transaction.
  Verify the annotations and ensure that the data category defined in the view matches the one being requested.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Data Category:
  
  If the CDS view is intended to be used as a different data category, you may need to modify the view definition to include the appropriate annotations.
  For example, if it should be a DIMENSION, ensure it has the @Analytics.dataCategory: #DIMENSION annotation.
  
  
  
  Review the Query:
  
  Check the query or application that is accessing the CDS view. Ensure that it is using the correct data category that matches the view's definition.
  
  
  
  Test the View:
  
  After making changes, test the CDS view to ensure it returns the expected results without errors.
