Developer Tutorials - Create and Expose Core Data Services Based on a Database Table - Step 5

Tutorials: https://developers.sap.com/tutorials/abap-environment-create-cds-view.html
--------------------------
After creating the CDS Data Definition and activating it, I don't see the option to create a "New Service Definition" when I right-click and select "New":

Can this have to do with me still using an old Eclipse/ADT-Version (2020-12) or the syntax warning I get (but don't understand) in the CDS Data Definition?

As might be apparent by my question, I'm just trying to blindly follow the steps outlined in the tutorial and don't really know what or why I'm doing. So something not working as expected is rather confusing for me!

Hello Bärbel,

I'm using the same Eclipse version, but I can see the option you are missing.

This is what I have installed:

Do you have the same or is something missing?

Thanks for your reply, Martin!

I checked and the versions I have installed are the same as shown in your screenshot.

When I started Eclipse this morning and logged in to the trial environment, I did however get a few error messages:

Clicking on "Update now" I get the message "No updates found. Configure available software sites to reach more content."

When I click on the link included in the message, the error log is rather long and shows these issues among others:

Time to somehow go to the latest Eclipse/ADT version? A task I try to postpone for as long as possible due to - for me - not really straightforward process involved.

Cheers

Hello Bärbel,

I have not seen your issue so far... maybe temporary network problem?

I use this URL for updates: https://tools.hana.ondemand.com/2020-12 in my settings.

Yeah, you are right, I myself also try to avoid upgrading the Eclipse version to the next release(s) since it is always huge effort... and sometimes it fails to load the BI tools correctly... then you're screwed 😞

Good luck 🙂

Hi Martin,

I tried with "your" URL but get error messages:

"Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.

This is what makes using Eclipse "somewhat" frustrating ...
