• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SOI055 - CDS View Metadata does not exist (Ddls name &1) ?

  The SAP error message SOI055 indicates that the CDS (Core Data Services) view metadata does not exist for the specified DDL (Data Definition Language) name. This error typically arises when the system is unable to find the metadata for a CDS view that is expected to be present in the database.
  Causes:
  
  Missing CDS View: The CDS view may not have been activated or created in the system.
  Transport Issues: If the CDS view was transported from another system, the transport might not have been successful, or the view might not have been included in the transport request.
  Database Issues: There could be issues with the database connection or the database itself that prevent the metadata from being accessed.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the CDS view.
  Incorrect Naming: The DDL name specified in the error message may be incorrect or misspelled.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Activate the CDS View: Check if the CDS view exists in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) or in the SAP GUI. If it exists but is not activated, activate it.
  
  In ADT, right-click on the CDS view and select "Activate."
  In SAP GUI, use transaction SE11 or SE80 to find and activate the view.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests: If the CDS view was supposed to be transported, verify that the transport request was released and imported successfully into the target system.
  
  
  Database Connection: Ensure that the database connection is functioning correctly. You can check this in transaction DBACOCKPIT or by running a simple database query.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the CDS view. You can check this using transaction SU53 after attempting to access the view.
  
  
  Verify DDL Name: Double-check the DDL name mentioned in the error message for any typos or discrepancies. Ensure that you are using the correct name as defined in the system.
  
  
  Rebuild Metadata: In some cases, you may need to rebuild the metadata for the CDS views. This can be done by executing the relevant database procedures or using transaction SE11 to regenerate the metadata.
