• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SADL_ATC_CHK_CONTEXT001 - Unsupported annotation in context of Abstract CDS entity ?

  The SAP error message SADL_ATC_CHK_CONTEXT001 indicates that there is an unsupported annotation in the context of an Abstract Core Data Services (CDS) entity. This error typically arises when you are trying to use certain annotations that are not applicable or not supported in the context of an abstract CDS entity.
  Cause:
  
  Unsupported Annotations: The error is often caused by using annotations that are not valid for abstract CDS entities. Abstract CDS entities are meant to be extended or used as a base for other entities, and certain annotations may not be applicable in this context.
  Incorrect Usage: You might be trying to define properties or behaviors in the abstract entity that are only meant for concrete entities.
  Version Compatibility: There may be compatibility issues with the version of SAP you are using, where certain annotations are not supported.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Annotations: Check the annotations you are using in your abstract CDS entity. Remove or modify any annotations that are not supported for abstract entities. Common unsupported annotations include those related to UI or specific data handling that are meant for concrete entities.
  Use Concrete Entities: If you need to use specific annotations, consider defining a concrete CDS entity instead of an abstract one, where those annotations are supported.
  Documentation Reference: Refer to the official SAP documentation for Core Data Services to understand which annotations are supported for abstract entities. This will help you identify and correct any unsupported annotations.
  Testing: After making changes, test the CDS entity to ensure that the error is resolved and that the entity behaves as expected.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Core Data Services (CDS): CDS is a framework for defining and consuming semantically rich data models in SAP. It allows for the definition of data models in a declarative way.
  Abstract CDS Entities: These are entities that cannot be instantiated directly but can be extended by other entities. They are used to define common properties and behaviors that can be shared across multiple concrete entities.
  Annotations: Annotations in CDS are metadata that provide additional information about the data model, such as UI behavior, data types, and relationships.
