• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SADL_DRAFT_TOOL018 - Table &1 is part of SQL view &2 ?

  The SAP error message SADL_DRAFT_TOOL018 typically indicates that there is an issue related to the SQL view and the underlying database table in the context of the SAP ABAP programming environment, particularly when working with the SADL (SAP Data Access Layer) draft framework.
  Cause:
  The error message "Table &1 is part of SQL view &2" suggests that there is a conflict or issue with the SQL view that is trying to access or manipulate a database table. This can occur due to several reasons, such as:
  
  Inconsistent Data Model: The SQL view may reference a table that is not properly defined or is inconsistent with the expected data model.
  Draft Handling Issues: If you are working with draft entities, there may be issues with how the draft is being managed or how the underlying tables are structured.
  Missing or Incorrect Annotations: The annotations in the data model might not be correctly set up, leading to issues when the system tries to access the SQL view.
  Database Locking: There might be locks on the database tables that prevent the SQL view from being accessed correctly.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the SADL_DRAFT_TOOL018 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  Check SQL View Definition: Review the SQL view definition to ensure that it correctly references the underlying tables and that all necessary fields are included.
  Validate Data Model: Ensure that the data model is consistent and that all tables and views are correctly defined in the ABAP Dictionary.
  Review Draft Configuration: If you are using draft handling, check the configuration and ensure that the draft entities are correctly set up and that the draft tables are properly defined.
  Check Annotations: Verify that the necessary annotations for the SQL view and the associated tables are correctly defined in the CDS (Core Data Services) views.
  Database Locks: Check for any locks on the database tables that might be causing the issue. You can use transaction codes like SM12 to view and manage locks.
  Rebuild SQL View: If necessary, you may need to regenerate or rebuild the SQL view to ensure that it is correctly aligned with the underlying tables.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE80 (Object Navigator), and SE37 (Function Builder) to investigate and modify the SQL views and underlying tables.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the SADL framework or the specific error message.
  Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation on SADL and draft handling for best practices and guidelines.
