ABAP_MODIFICATION_NN Using CDS-Managed DDIC Views is Obsolete

For each ABAP_CDS_V1_VIEW , a ABAP_CDS_MNG_VIEW is created in ABAP Dictionary upon activation. Using this ABAP_CDS_MNG_VIEW , for example for typing or for accessing the CDS entity in question, is obsolete from now on. The reason is the release of a new type of CDS entity, the CDS view entity, which will replace ABAP_CDS_V1_VIEWS in the future. CDS view entities do not have a ABAP_CDS_MNG_VIEW attached and in case of a migration from ABAP_CDS_V1_VIEW to ABAP_CDS_V2_VIEW , each usage of a ABAP_CDS_MNG_VIEW leads to a syntax error.
