• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SADL_EXPOSURE034 - Target entity &1 is not draft enabled ?

  The SAP error message SADL_EXPOSURE034 indicates that the target entity you are trying to work with is not draft-enabled. This typically occurs in scenarios where you are using the SAP Draft Framework, which allows for the creation and management of draft documents in SAP applications.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to perform operations (like creating or modifying a draft) on an entity that has not been configured to support draft functionality. This can happen if:
  
  The entity is not defined as draft-enabled in the data model.
  The necessary annotations for draft support are missing in the OData service or the underlying data model.
  The application logic is trying to access draft features for an entity that does not support them.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Entity Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the target entity is defined as draft-enabled in the data model. This typically involves checking the annotations in the OData service or the underlying CDS (Core Data Services) view.
  Look for the @ObjectModel.draftEnabled: true annotation in the CDS view definition for the entity.
  
  
  
  Modify the Data Model:
  
  If the entity is not draft-enabled and you need it to be, you may need to modify the CDS view or the OData service to include the draft support annotations.
  After making changes, ensure to activate the CDS view and regenerate the OData service.
  
  
  
  Check Service Implementation:
  
  If you are using a custom implementation, ensure that the logic correctly handles draft operations and that the necessary draft-related methods are implemented.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the functionality again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP documentation for the Draft Framework and OData services for detailed guidance on enabling draft support for entities.
