  The SAP error message RSRTS_CDS023 indicates that a Core Data Services (CDS) view needs to be annotated as an analytic query in order to be used in certain contexts, such as reporting or analysis. This error typically arises when you attempt to use a CDS view that is not properly configured for analytical purposes.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the CDS view lacks the necessary annotations that define it as an analytic query. In SAP, analytic queries are a specific type of CDS view that are designed to be used in reporting tools like SAP Analytics Cloud, SAP BW, or SAP BusinessObjects. These annotations provide metadata that informs the system how to handle the data for analytical processing.
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSRTS_CDS023 error, you need to annotate the CDS view as an analytic query. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Open the CDS View: Access the CDS view in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) or the relevant development environment.
  
  
  Add Annotations: You need to add the appropriate annotations to the CDS view. The key annotation for defining an analytic query is @Analytics.query: true. Here’s an example of how to annotate a CDS view:
  @AbapCatalog.sqlViewName: 'Z_MY_CDS_VIEW'
  @AbapCatalog.compiler.compareFilter: true
  @Analytics.query: true
  define view Z_MY_CDS_VIEW as select from my_table
  {
      key field1,
      field2,
      field3
  }
  
  
  Activate the CDS View: After adding the necessary annotations, activate the CDS view to apply the changes.
  
  
  Test the View: Once activated, test the CDS view in the context where you encountered the error to ensure that it is now recognized as an analytic query.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  CDS Annotations: Familiarize yourself with other relevant annotations that can enhance the functionality of your CDS views, such as @Analytics.dataCategory, @Analytics.dataSource, and others.
  Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation on CDS views and analytic queries for more detailed information on how to structure and annotate your views.
  Performance Considerations: When designing analytic queries, consider performance implications and best practices for data modeling in SAP.
