• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SADL_GW_DT_CDS081 - DB hint &1 is not whitelisted ?

  The SAP error message SADL_GW_DT_CDS081 indicates that a database hint (DB hint) is not whitelisted in the context of using Core Data Services (CDS) views in SAP. This error typically arises when you are trying to execute a CDS view that uses a database hint that has not been approved or whitelisted in the system configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Database Hint Not Whitelisted: The specific database hint being used in the CDS view is not included in the list of allowed hints in the system configuration.
  Security and Performance: SAP restricts the use of certain database hints to ensure system stability, performance, and security. If a hint is not whitelisted, it may be considered unsafe or not optimal for the system.

  The whitelisting process can vary based on the version of SAP you are using, so refer to the relevant SAP documentation or notes for guidance.
  
  
  Modify the CDS View: If whitelisting the hint is not feasible or advisable, consider modifying the CDS view to remove the dependency on the non-whitelisted hint. This may involve changing the logic of the view or using alternative approaches to achieve the desired performance.
