• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SDDL_PARSER_MSG435 - Redirected target entity must be a CDS view entity ?

  The SAP error message SDDL_PARSER_MSG435 indicates that there is an issue with the definition of a redirected target entity in your Core Data Services (CDS) view. Specifically, the error states that the redirected target entity must be a CDS view entity, which means that the target entity you are trying to redirect to is not recognized as a valid CDS view.
  Cause
  This error typically occurs due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Incorrect Target Entity: The target entity specified in the redirection is not a CDS view. It could be a database table or another type of entity that is not compatible with the redirection mechanism.
  
  
  Typographical Errors: There may be a typo in the name of the target entity, causing the system to not recognize it as a valid CDS view.
  
  
  Missing Annotations: The target entity may not have the necessary annotations or definitions that qualify it as a CDS view.
  
  
  Inconsistent Naming: The naming conventions or the structure of the CDS view may not align with the expected standards, leading to recognition issues.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Verify Target Entity: Check the definition of the target entity you are trying to redirect to. Ensure that it is indeed a CDS view and not a database table or another entity type.
  
  
  Check for Typos: Review the code for any typographical errors in the name of the target entity. Ensure that the name matches exactly with the defined CDS view.
  
  
  Review Annotations: Ensure that the target entity has the necessary annotations that qualify it as a CDS view. This includes checking for the @AbapCatalog.sqlViewName annotation and others that may be required.
  
  
  Use the Correct Syntax: Make sure that the syntax used for redirection is correct. The redirection should follow the proper CDS syntax and conventions.
  
  
  Test the CDS View: If possible, test the target CDS view independently to ensure that it is functioning correctly and can be accessed without issues.
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Ensure that there are no dependencies or issues with the underlying database objects that might affect the recognition of the CDS view.
