• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SADL_GW_DT_CDS064 - Prefix &1 for Association &2 is used more than once. ?

  The SAP error message SADL_GW_DT_CDS064 indicates that there is a problem with the definition of an association in a Core Data Services (CDS) view. Specifically, the error message states that a prefix for an association is being used more than once, which is not allowed in the context of CDS views.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when:
  
  You have defined multiple associations in your CDS view that use the same prefix for their aliases.
  The same association is being referenced multiple times in a way that causes ambiguity in the generated data model.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Association Definitions: Review the associations defined in your CDS view. Ensure that each association has a unique prefix. If you have multiple associations that are similar, consider renaming them to avoid conflicts.
  
  
  Modify Aliases: If you are using aliases for your associations, make sure that each alias is unique. For example, if you have an association named to_SalesOrder, ensure that you do not have another association with the same prefix.
  
  
  Refactor the CDS View: If necessary, refactor your CDS view to simplify the associations. This may involve breaking down complex associations into simpler ones or restructuring the view to avoid duplicate prefixes.
  
  
  Check for Inheritance: If your CDS view is inheriting from another view, ensure that the inherited associations do not conflict with those defined in your view.
  
  
  Test Changes: After making changes, activate the CDS view and test it to ensure that the error is resolved.
