• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SADL_EXPOSURE064 - Projected association &1 of &2 is not draft enabled ?

  The SAP error message SADL_EXPOSURE064 indicates that a projected association in your SAP system is not draft-enabled. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's ABAP programming model, particularly when working with the SAP Fiori elements and the OData services that utilize the SADL (SAP ABAP Programming Model for SAP Fiori) framework.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to use a projected association that is expected to support draft functionality, but it has not been configured to do so. Draft functionality is essential for scenarios where you want to create or edit entities in a draft state before finalizing them. If the projected association is not draft-enabled, the system cannot handle draft operations for that association.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the projected association is properly configured to support draft functionality. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Check the Data Model: Review the data model definition in your CDS (Core Data Services) view. Ensure that the projected association is defined correctly and that it is intended to be draft-enabled.
  
  
  Enable Draft Support: If the projected association is not draft-enabled, you need to modify the CDS view to enable draft support. This typically involves:
  
  Adding the @ObjectModel.draftEnabled: true annotation to the relevant entity or association in your CDS definition.
  Ensuring that the associated entities are also draft-enabled.
  
  
  
  Review Annotations: Make sure that all necessary annotations related to draft handling are correctly applied in your CDS views. This includes checking for annotations like @ObjectModel.draftEnabled, @ObjectModel.usageType, and others that may affect draft behavior.
  
  
  Regenerate Artifacts: After making changes to the CDS view, regenerate the necessary artifacts (like OData services) to ensure that the changes take effect.
  
  
  Test the Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, test the functionality to ensure that the draft operations work as expected without triggering the error.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation on the ABAP programming model and draft handling for detailed guidelines on how to implement draft functionality in your applications.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to seek advice or share experiences related to similar issues. Other developers may have encountered and resolved similar problems.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider using debugging tools to trace the execution and identify where the draft handling is failing.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the SADL_EXPOSURE064 error and enable draft functionality for your projected associations in SAP.
