I know about Information Steward and Data Intelligence, but is there another way to find what CDS views are affected by specific CDS view? Basically, I want to do an impact analysis of a CDS view.

Thanks.

Analyzing Dependencies in Complex CDS Views | SAP Help Portal
  1. In the Project Explorer, select the data definition that you want to analyze.
  2. Open the context menu and choose Open with > Dependency Analyzer. Alternatively right click in the editor.

It works for View Entities depending on your release, see https://blogs.sap.com/2020/09/02/a-new-generation-of-cds-views-cds-view-entities/#comment-634195

Hi Martin,

The Dependency Analyzer shows Data Lineage instead of Impact Analysis.

In Impact Analysis answers the following question:

What CDS views are impacted by changing a given CDS view?

Impact Analysis is the opposite of Data Lineage.

Thanks.
