• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SADL_DRAFT_TOOL006 - CDS-View &1 is not draft enabled ?

  The SAP error message SADL_DRAFT_TOOL006 indicates that a Core Data Services (CDS) view is not enabled for draft handling. This error typically arises when you are trying to use draft functionality in an application that relies on a CDS view that has not been configured to support draft operations.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the CDS view specified in the error message is not marked as "draft-enabled." Draft handling is a feature in SAP that allows users to create and manage drafts of business objects, which can be saved and edited before finalizing them. If a CDS view does not have the necessary annotations to support draft functionality, you will encounter this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to enable draft handling for the specified CDS view. 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 Draft Annotations: You need to add the necessary annotations to the CDS view to enable draft handling. This typically involves adding the @ObjectModel.draftEnabled: true annotation to the view definition. Here is an example of how to do this:
  @AbapCatalog.sqlViewName: 'Z_MY_CDS_VIEW'
  @AbapCatalog.compiler.compareFilter: true
  @ObjectModel.draftEnabled: true
  define view Z_MY_CDS_VIEW as select from my_table
  {
      key field1,
      field2,
      ...
  }
  
  
  Activate the CDS View: After making the changes, activate the CDS view to ensure that the new annotations take effect.
  
  
  Check Related Artifacts: Ensure that any related artifacts (like the service definition or the UI annotations) are also configured to support draft handling.
  
  
  Test the Changes: After activation, test the application or functionality that was previously causing the error to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
