Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WD105 - CDS view generation was skipped. ?

  The SAP error message WD105: CDS view generation was skipped typically occurs in the context of SAP Web Dynpro ABAP development when the system attempts to generate a Core Data Services (CDS) view but skips the generation process.
  
  Cause
  
  Inactive or inconsistent CDS source objects: The CDS view or related artifacts (like annotations or metadata extensions) might be inactive or have inconsistencies.
  Missing or incorrect annotations: The CDS view might lack required annotations for Web Dynpro or UI generation.
  Transport or system inconsistencies: Sometimes, after transport or system copy, the generation step is skipped due to inconsistencies.
  Generation skipped intentionally: The system might skip generation if it detects no changes or if the generation is not required.
  Authorization or system configuration issues: Insufficient authorizations or missing configuration for CDS generation.
  Dependency issues: The CDS view depends on other views or objects that are inactive or missing.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the CDS view status:
  
  Ensure the CDS view and all dependent objects are active and consistent.
  Use transaction SE11 or Eclipse ADT to check the CDS view.
  
  
  
  Review annotations:
  
  Verify that the CDS view has the correct annotations required for Web Dynpro or UI generation.
  For example, annotations like @UI or @OData.publish might be necessary depending on the use case.
  
  
  
  Regenerate the CDS view:
  
  In Eclipse ADT, right-click the CDS view and select Activate or Generate.
  Alternatively, use the SAP GUI transaction /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE if OData services are involved.
  
  
  
  Check system logs and dumps:
  
  Use transaction ST22 to check for any dumps related to CDS generation.
  Use transaction SLG1 to check application logs for more detailed error messages.
  
  
  
  Check authorizations:
  
  Ensure the user has the necessary authorizations to generate CDS views and related artifacts.
  
  
  
  Clear caches and restart services:
  
  Sometimes, clearing the buffer or restarting the SAP Gateway or Web Dynpro services helps.
  
  
  
  Check transport and system consistency:
  
  If the issue appeared after a transport, verify that all objects were transported correctly.
  Re-import or re-activate the objects if necessary.
