• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSODP_ABAP_CDS125 - Duplicate association &1 value &2 found in CDS views &3 and &4 ?

  The SAP error message RSODP_ABAP_CDS125 indicates that there is a duplicate association value found in Core Data Services (CDS) views. This typically occurs when two or more CDS views define the same association with the same name and value, leading to ambiguity in the data model.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Associations: The error arises when two or more CDS views have associations defined with the same name and the same target entity. This can happen if:
  
  The same association is defined in multiple CDS views.
  There are conflicting definitions of associations in the views.
  
  
  
  Modeling Errors: It may also be due to incorrect modeling practices, where the same logical relationship is represented in multiple places without proper differentiation.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Identify the Duplicate Associations:
  
  Review the CDS views mentioned in the error message (&3 and &4).
  Check the associations defined in both views to identify the duplicates.
  
  
  
  Refactor the CDS Views:
  
  If the same association is needed in both views, consider creating a separate CDS view that encapsulates the common association and then reference this view in the other views.
  Alternatively, if the association is not needed in one of the views, you can remove it.
  
  
  
  Rename Associations:
  
  If the associations serve different purposes, consider renaming one of them to avoid the conflict.
  
  
  
  Check for Inheritance:
  
  If you are using inheritance in your CDS views, ensure that the associations are not being inherited in a way that causes duplication.
  
  
  
  Re-activate the CDS Views:
  
  After making the necessary changes, re-activate the affected CDS views to ensure that the changes take effect.
