• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSODP_ABAP_CDS109 - Recursive usage of associated CDS view &1 will be ignored ?

  The SAP error message RSODP_ABAP_CDS109 indicates that there is a recursive usage of an associated Core Data Services (CDS) view in your ABAP code. This typically occurs when a CDS view references itself directly or indirectly through another view, leading to a circular dependency. 
  Cause:
  
  Self-Reference: The CDS view is directly referencing itself.
  Indirect Reference: The CDS view is referencing another view that eventually references back to the original view, creating a loop.
  Complex Associations: The associations defined in the CDS views may lead to recursive relationships that are not resolvable.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review the CDS View Definition: Check the definition of the CDS view that is causing the error. Look for any self-references or indirect references that may lead to recursion.
  
  
  Refactor the View: If you find that the view is referencing itself or creating a circular dependency, consider refactoring the view. This may involve:
  
  Removing unnecessary associations.
  Splitting the view into multiple views that do not reference each other recursively.
  Using different approaches to achieve the desired data retrieval without creating a loop.
  
  
  
  Use Alternative Data Retrieval Methods: If the recursive relationship is necessary for your business logic, consider using alternative methods to retrieve the data, such as:
  
  Using SQL queries instead of CDS views.
  Creating a different structure for your data model that avoids recursion.
  
  
  
  Check for Updates: Ensure that you are using the latest version of SAP and that there are no known issues or patches related to this error.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  CDS Views: Core Data Services (CDS) is a framework for defining semantically rich data models in SAP. Understanding how associations and joins work in CDS views is crucial for avoiding recursive references.
  Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation on CDS views and associations for best practices and guidelines.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community or forums to see if others have encountered similar issues and how they resolved them.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the recursive usage issue in your CDS view.
