• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SADL_GW_EXPOSURE024 - Exposure: Include structure &1 for CDS view &2 not deleted. ?

  The SAP error message SADL_GW_EXPOSURE024 typically occurs in the context of Core Data Services (CDS) views when there is an issue with the exposure of a CDS view to the OData service. This error indicates that a certain structure (denoted as &1) is included in the CDS view (denoted as &2), but it has not been deleted properly, which can lead to inconsistencies or issues when trying to expose the CDS view.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Metadata: The error often arises when there are changes made to the CDS view or its associated structures, but the metadata has not been updated correctly.
  Deletion Issues: If a structure that is supposed to be removed from the CDS view is still referenced or not properly deleted, this error can occur.
  Transport Issues: Sometimes, if the CDS view or its components are transported between systems, inconsistencies can arise if not all related objects are transported correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the CDS View Definition: 
  
  Go to the CDS view definition in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) or SE11 transaction.
  Ensure that the structure mentioned in the error message is indeed included in the CDS view and that it is intended to be there.
  
  
  
  Remove Unused Structures:
  
  If the structure is no longer needed, remove it from the CDS view definition.
  After making changes, activate the CDS view to ensure that the changes are reflected in the metadata.
  
  
  
  Re-activate the CDS View:
  
  Sometimes, simply re-activating the CDS view can resolve the issue. This forces the system to regenerate the metadata.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no other objects (like OData services or other CDS views) that depend on the structure or the CDS view itself. If there are dependencies, you may need to address those first.
  
  
  
  Transport Consistency:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that all related objects were transported correctly. You may need to re-transport the affected objects.
  
  
  
  Clear Cache:
  
  In some cases, clearing the cache for the OData service or the CDS view can help resolve the issue. You can do this using transaction /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE to manage OData services.
