The DEPRECATED setting in the properties of an SAP HANA calculation view serves as a lifecycle management flag. When enabled, it signals to developers that the view is outdated and planned for removal in a future version. The modeling tool will then issue a warning message to anyone opening the view, stating it is no longer supported. Furthermore, if a developer attempts to use this deprecated view as a data source in another, newer calculation view, a specific warning will be displayed, discouraging its continued use and preventing dependencies on obsolete objects.

C. The DEPRECATED setting is a status indicator that generates warnings; it does not function as a lock or prevent authorized developers from making further modifications.

D. This setting does not automatically redirect queries. Query redirection would require a different mechanism, such as a synonym or specific application logic, not the deprecation flag.
