• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSRTS_CDS125 - Field (&1 at pos. &2) binding: Unknown alias &3 ?

  The SAP error message RSRTS_CDS125 typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA when working with Core Data Services (CDS) views. This error indicates that there is an issue with the binding of a field in a query or a report, specifically that an alias used in the query is not recognized or does not exist.
  Cause:
  The error message "Field (&1 at pos. &2) binding: Unknown alias &3" can be caused by several factors:
  
  Incorrect Alias Name: The alias specified in the query does not match any of the defined aliases in the CDS view or the underlying data model.
  Field Name Changes: If the underlying data model has been changed (e.g., fields renamed or removed), the query may still reference the old field names or aliases.
  Transport Issues: If the CDS view or the associated objects were transported from one system to another, there may be inconsistencies in the definitions.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access certain fields or aliases, leading to this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSRTS_CDS125 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Alias: Verify that the alias specified in the query matches the alias defined in the CDS view. You can do this by checking the definition of the CDS view in the ABAP Development Tools or SE11 transaction.
  
  
  Update the Query: If the underlying data model has changed, update the query to reflect the current field names and aliases. This may involve modifying the query in the Query Designer or the relevant reporting tool.
  
  
  Rebuild the Query: Sometimes, rebuilding the query from scratch can help eliminate any hidden issues or inconsistencies.
  
  
  Check Transport Logs: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs for any errors or warnings that might indicate problems with the transport of the CDS view or related objects.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user executing the query has the necessary authorizations to access the fields and aliases in the CDS view.
  
  
  Activate the CDS View: If there have been recent changes to the CDS view, ensure that it has been activated. Sometimes, changes may not take effect until the view is activated.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version of SAP you are using, as there may be known issues or patches available.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues related to the specific error message or the CDS view you are working with.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if other users have encountered similar issues and what solutions they found effective.
  Debugging: If you have access to debugging tools, you can trace the execution of the query to identify where the binding is failing.
