• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSODP_ABAP_CDS215 - Element &1 is not of type Geometry ?

  The SAP error message RSODP_ABAP_CDS215 Element &1 is not of type Geometry typically occurs in the context of Core Data Services (CDS) views when there is an attempt to use a field that is expected to be of type Geometry, but the actual type of the field does not match this expectation.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Data Type: The field referenced in the error message (&1) is not defined as a Geometry type in the underlying database or data model. This can happen if the field is defined as a different type (e.g., string, integer, etc.) in the database table or view.
  CDS View Definition: The CDS view may be incorrectly defined, where a field that is expected to be a geometry type is not properly specified.
  Incompatible Data Source: If the data source for the CDS view does not support geometry types or if the geometry type is not correctly mapped, this error can occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Field Definition: Verify the definition of the field in the underlying database table or view. Ensure that the field is indeed defined as a Geometry type.
  Modify CDS View: If the field is not of type Geometry, you may need to modify the CDS view to either:
  
  Change the field to the correct geometry type if applicable.
  Remove or replace the field with a valid geometry field.
  
  
  Use Correct Annotations: Ensure that the annotations in the CDS view are correctly specified for geometry types. For example, you might need to use @ObjectModel: { ... } annotations to specify the geometry type correctly.
  Check Data Source Compatibility: Ensure that the data source you are using supports geometry types. If you are using a non-spatial data source, you may need to switch to a spatial-enabled data source.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation on Core Data Services and geometry types for more details on how to define and use geometry fields in CDS views.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address known issues or provide additional guidance on handling geometry types in CDS views.
  Community Forums: Engage with the SAP Community or forums where other developers may have encountered similar issues and can provide insights or solutions.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that your CDS view is correctly utilizing geometry types.
