Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SADL_GEN_DRFT_MSG402 - CDS-View &1 is not a Consumption-View. ?

  The SAP error message SADL_GEN_DRFT_MSG402 indicates that the Core Data Services (CDS) view you are trying to use is not defined as a consumption view. This error typically arises when you attempt to use a CDS view in a context that requires it to be a consumption view, but it has not been defined as such.
  Cause:
  
  CDS View Definition: The CDS view is not marked as a consumption view. In SAP, a consumption view is a CDS view that is intended to be used for data consumption, such as in OData services or analytical queries.
  Incorrect Annotations: The necessary annotations that define the view as a consumption view may be missing or incorrectly specified.
  View Type: The view might be defined as a different type (e.g., a projection view or a basic view) that does not support consumption.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the CDS view is correctly defined as a consumption view. Here are the steps to do that:
  
  
  Check the CDS View Definition:
  
  Open the CDS view in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) or the relevant transaction (e.g., SE11).
  Ensure that the view is defined with the appropriate annotations.
  
  
  
  Add Required Annotations:
  
  Ensure that the CDS view includes the @AbapCatalog.sqlViewName annotation to define the SQL view name.
  Include the @AccessControl.authorizationCheck annotation if necessary.
  Use the @OData.publish: true annotation if you want to expose the view as an OData service.
  
  Example of a basic consumption view definition:
  @AbapCatalog.sqlViewName: 'Z_MY_CDS_VIEW'
  @OData.publish: true
  define view Z_MY_CDS_VIEW as select from my_table
  {
      key field1,
      field2,
      field3
  }
  
  
  Activate the CDS View:
  
  After making changes, activate the CDS view to ensure that the changes take effect.
  
  
  
  Test the View:
  
  After activation, test the view again in the context where you encountered the error to confirm that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  CDS Views: Core Data Services (CDS) is a framework for defining semantically rich data models in SAP. CDS views can be used for reporting, analytics, and as a basis for OData services.
  Consumption vs. Definition Views: Consumption views are designed for data retrieval and are often used in Fiori applications and OData services, while definition views may serve as intermediate representations of data.
  SAP Documentation: For more detailed information, refer to the official SAP documentation on CDS views and their annotations.
  
  If you continue to experience issues after following these steps, consider checking for any additional dependencies or configurations that may be affecting the CDS view's behavior.
