• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SADL_DRAFT_TOOL003 - ABAP-SQL view missing for &1 ?

  The SAP error message SADL_DRAFT_TOOL003 indicates that there is a missing ABAP SQL view for a specific entity in the context of the SAP Draft Framework. This error typically arises when the system is unable to find the necessary database view that is required for draft handling in the application.
  Cause:
  
  Missing or Incomplete Configuration: The ABAP SQL view that the system is trying to access may not have been created or properly configured in the system.
  Transport Issues: If the relevant objects were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), there may have been issues during the transport process that resulted in the view not being created.
  Development Errors: There may be errors in the development of the draft handling logic, leading to the absence of the required SQL view.
  Changes in Data Model: If there have been changes to the underlying data model or entity definitions, the corresponding SQL view may not have been updated accordingly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Configuration: Verify that the ABAP SQL view is correctly defined in the system. You can do this by checking the relevant data model and ensuring that all necessary views are generated.
  Re-generate Views: If the view is missing, you may need to regenerate it. This can typically be done through the transaction code SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE80 (Object Navigator) by checking the relevant entity and regenerating the views.
  Transport Check: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were included and successfully transported.
  Debugging: If you have access to the ABAP development environment, you can debug the code to identify where the error is occurring and why the view is not being found.
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation related to the Draft Framework and the specific entity you are working with to ensure that all necessary steps have been followed.
