• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SADL_GW_EXPOSURE023 - Exposure: Include structure &1 for CDS view &2 not active. ?

  The SAP error message SADL_GW_EXPOSURE023 indicates that a certain structure (denoted as &1) required for a Core Data Services (CDS) view (denoted as &2) is not active. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Gateway and OData services when the system is trying to expose a CDS view as an OData service, but it encounters an inactive structure that is part of the CDS view definition.
  Cause:
  
  Inactive Structure: The structure that is referenced in the CDS view is not activated. This can happen if the structure was recently created or modified and has not been activated yet.
  Dependency Issues: The CDS view may depend on other objects (like tables, views, or structures) that are also inactive.
  Transport Issues: If the CDS view or its dependencies were transported from another system, they may not have been activated in the target system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Activate the Structure:
  
  Go to the ABAP Dictionary (transaction code SE11).
  Enter the name of the structure (replace &1 with the actual structure name).
  Check if the structure is active. If it is not, activate it.
  
  
  
  Check Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that all dependent objects of the CDS view are also active. This includes any tables, views, or other structures that the CDS view relies on.
  You can use transaction code SE80 or SE11 to check the dependencies of the CDS view.
  
  
  
  Re-activate the CDS View:
  
  After activating the required structure, go back to the CDS view (transaction code SE11 or SE80).
  Activate the CDS view again to ensure that it picks up the changes.
  
  
  
  Check for Transport Issues:
  
  If the objects were transported, ensure that all related objects were included in the transport request and that they are activated in the target system.
  
  
  
  Check for Syntax Errors:
  
  Sometimes, syntax errors in the CDS view can also lead to activation issues. Ensure that the CDS view is free of errors.

  OData Services: OData is a standard protocol for building and consuming RESTful APIs. In SAP, OData services are often used to expose data from CDS views.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SE11: Data Dictionary (for structures, tables, views).
  SE80: Object Navigator (for managing various objects including CDS views).
  SE37: Function Module (to check if any function modules are related to the CDS view).
  
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully activate the CDS view for use in your OData service.
