• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SADL_ENTITY_CDS002 - Client element &2 of &1 is not suppressed by DDIC API class &3 ?

  The SAP error message SADL_ENTITY_CDS002 indicates that there is an issue with the Data Definition and Integration (DDIC) API class in relation to a Core Data Services (CDS) view. Specifically, the error message states that a client element (field) in a CDS entity is not being suppressed as expected by the DDIC API class.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The CDS view may not be correctly configured to suppress the client field. This can happen if the field is not marked as suppressed in the CDS definition or if the API class does not handle the suppression correctly.
  
  
  Incompatibility: There may be an incompatibility between the CDS view and the DDIC API class, especially if the API class is not designed to handle certain fields or if there are changes in the underlying data model.
  
  
  Missing Annotations: The necessary annotations for client handling (like @ClientDependent) may be missing in the CDS view definition.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the CDS view or the API class has been transported from one system to another, there may be inconsistencies or missing objects that lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the SADL_ENTITY_CDS002 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check CDS View Definition:
  
  Open the CDS view in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) or SE11.
  Ensure that the client field is correctly defined and that it is marked for suppression if it should not be exposed.
  
  
  
  Review Annotations:
  
  Verify that the necessary annotations for client handling are present. For example, ensure that the @ClientDependent annotation is used appropriately.
  
  
  
  API Class Configuration:
  
  Check the DDIC API class associated with the CDS view. Ensure that it is correctly implemented to handle the client field and that it is compatible with the CDS view.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  Test the CDS view independently to see if it works without the API class. This can help isolate whether the issue is with the CDS view or the API class.
  
  
  
  Transport Consistency:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check for any missing objects or inconsistencies in the target system. Ensure that all dependent objects are also transported.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific error message for any additional guidance or known issues.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If you have access to debugging tools, you can set breakpoints in the API class to see how it processes the CDS view and identify where the suppression fails.
