  Review Configuration: Go through the configuration settings in the SAP Gateway to ensure that everything is set up correctly. This includes checking the service registration and ensuring that the view is included in the service.
  Annotations: If the view is intended to be exposed as an OData service, check for the necessary annotations in the CDS (Core Data Services) view. Ensure that the view has the appropriate annotations for exposure.
  Recreate the View: If the view is corrupted or improperly defined, consider recreating it. This can sometimes resolve issues related to exposure.
  Check for Transport Issues: If the view was recently transported from another system, ensure that all necessary objects and dependencies were included in the transport.
