• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SDDL_PARSER_MSG189 - &1 is not a transparent table ?

  The SAP error message SDDL_PARSER_MSG189 indicates that the object you are trying to work with is not a transparent table. In SAP, a transparent table is a database table that has a one-to-one relationship with a table in the underlying database. This error typically arises when you are trying to perform operations that are only valid for transparent tables, such as creating or modifying data models, or when using certain tools that expect a transparent table.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Transparent Table: The object you are trying to access is a pooled table, cluster table, or a view, which are not considered transparent tables.
  Incorrect Object Type: You may have mistakenly selected a non-transparent table when you intended to work with a transparent table.
  Data Model Issues: If you are working with data models or trying to create a CDS view, the underlying table must be a transparent table.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify Table Type: Check the type of the table you are trying to access. You can do this by going to the Data Dictionary (transaction SE11) and checking the table definition.
  Use a Transparent Table: If your operation requires a transparent table, ensure that you are using the correct table. If you need to create a new table, make sure to define it as a transparent table.
  Modify Your Query/Operation: If you are trying to perform a specific operation that requires a transparent table, consider modifying your approach to work with a different table or structure that meets the requirements.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on the specific operation you are trying to perform and the requirements for the tables involved.
