How To Fix SCDS_ATC_SESNVAR_DEP001 - #SESSION_VARIABLE specified but view is not session-variable-dependent

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: SCDS_ATC_SESNVAR_DEP - Message class for ATC Check CL_CI_TEST_SESSION_VARIABLE

• Message number: 001

• Message text: #SESSION_VARIABLE specified but view is not session-variable-dependent

What causes this issue?

The value #SESSION_VARIABLE is specified for the annotation
@ClientHandling.algorithm but the view is not client
session-variable-dependent.

How to fix this error?

Set client handling algorithm to #AUTOMATED. The behavior of the view
will stay the same.
If the view should be client session-variable-dependent, set the client
handling algorithm to #SESSION_VARIABLE_FILTER. In this case the client
session variable will be added to the WHERE clause (a WHERE clause will
be generated if it does not exist) and the view cannot be used in Open
SQL statement with the CLIENT SPECIFIED addition.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCDS_ATC_SESNVAR_DEP001 - #SESSION_VARIABLE specified but view is not session-variable-dependent ?

  The SAP error message SCDS_ATC_SESNVAR_DEP001 indicates that a session variable has been specified in a context where it is not applicable. This typically occurs in the context of SAP HANA or SAP Analytics Cloud when you are trying to use session variables in a view that is not designed to support them.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  A session variable is defined in a query or view, but the view itself is not marked as session-variable-dependent.
  The view does not have the necessary logic or structure to handle session variables, which are intended to provide dynamic filtering or context-specific data.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check View Definition:
  
  Ensure that the view you are working with is designed to be session-variable-dependent. This typically involves checking the properties of the view in the SAP HANA Studio or the relevant development environment.
  
  
  
  Modify View Properties:
  
  If the view is not session-variable-dependent, you may need to modify its definition. This can involve:
  
  Adding logic to handle session variables.
  Changing the view type to a session-variable-dependent view if applicable.
  
  
  
  
  
  Remove Session Variable:
  
  If the view cannot be modified to support session variables, consider removing the session variable from your query or logic. Instead, use other filtering mechanisms that are compatible with the view.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation related to session variables and dependent views to ensure you are following best practices and understand the limitations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the view or query to ensure that it works as expected without generating the error.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Session Variables: These are variables that can hold values specific to a user session, allowing for dynamic data retrieval based on user context.
  Dependent Views: Views that are designed to utilize session variables must be explicitly defined to handle them, often requiring specific SQL syntax or configuration.
  SAP HANA Studio: This is the primary development environment for creating and managing HANA database objects, including views and procedures.
  
  If you continue to experience issues after following these steps, consider reaching out to SAP support or consulting with a developer experienced in SAP HANA for further assistance.
