Most CAP tutorials stop at CF PUSH. Most Integration Suite tutorials start from S/4HANA or a public demo API. Neither shows you what happens when you connect the two — and where it breaks. This post walks through modeling a real SFLIGHT-style table i...

Well, it's the end of the month, which means time for a wrap up of the Developer Challenge we've just had. It's been a lot of fun for us to create the questions and see how much you've all participated, and, from your comments, how much you've also e...
The CDS compiler is a very capable mechanism and can advise and warn us if we present questionable design choices in our models. It can even refuse to continue in extreme circumstances.Let's say we have a Book entity defined thus:entity Book { key ...
There is great support for CAP development in IDEs such as VS Code and IntelliJ. Moreover, because the editor features for CDS are made available in the form of a language server (using the Language Server Protocol or LSP), they can also be used in o...
The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is the premier standards development organisation for the Internet. One of the ways that their work finds its way to the public in general and to engineers and techninians in particular is via documents, spe...
When thinking about schema evolution and starting to plan changes while still in development, the "drop-create" strategy is common.The cds deploy command will generate the appropriate SQL/DDL statements to effect schema changes. Most commonly this co...
As in most contexts, there are some name restrictions in the underlying database systems, with regards to unusual or special characters, or reserved words. When you use names like this in your CDS models they are escaped when they're converted to the...
When embracing local-first development and using cds watch, we're actually using a convenience shortcut for:cds serve all --with-mocks --in-memory?That --with-mocks option for cds serve is described thus:--with-mocks Use this in combination with t...
In an earlier question in this challenge, we looked at the managed aspect in the context of common and reusable definitions. This aspect causes each entity to which it is assigned to gain four new elements thus:createdAt : Timestamp @cds.on.insert :...
When building our CDS model, we describe, amongst other things:typesaspectsentitiesservicesThe CDL for each of these objects is clear and simple. That's because of the intent behind the design of CDS as a whole, but also because there's a particular ...
The cds REPL is a powerful facility that helps us explore and debug. It's based on the regular Node.js REPL, which has a number of REPL-level commands:; node Welcome to Node.js v24.15.0. Type ".help" for more information. > .help .break Sometimes ...
At one level, the CDS family of languages cover definitions, queries and expressions, in the form of CDL, CQL and CXL respectively. Each of these languages have a human-readable form and a machine-readable form. For example, while CDL is the human-re...

When defining a service, it's common to expose targets that are related. The classic example might be books and authors:using bookshop as my from '../db/schema'; service AdminService { entity ListOfBooks as projection on my.Books excluding { price...
When modelling with CDS and its family of languages we have access to a wide selection of clean and concise declarative syntax. In the expressions area there are expressions (and in particular path expressions) and also a certain style of filter.Thes...
Within the CDS family of languages we have CXL, the CDS Expression Language. In the context of CDS models and queries, CXL brings the ability to use expressions for describing calculations, declaring conditions, and more, all of which enriches the CD...

At the CAP-level, support for multiple databases is available (SQLite, Postgres, HANA, H2). This support includes standard operators and standard functions, portable across the database runtimes. There are various functions in this set, across differ...
In domain modelling, we can have name prefixes for the components of our models. They're optional, but useful, especially if reusability is a factor. This prefixing can be defined with either the namespace or the context directives, or a combination ...
I need clarification on how the task-based outbox processing behaves in a horizontally scaled deployment with multiple application instances.
Among the CDS annotations for declaring constraints when modelling, there are a handful that can be used to drive behaviour and restrictions in Fiori UIs, by causing the generation of appropriate annotations in the service's metadata.One of these ann...
A set of common types and aspects is great, and our models are the better for using them. But what about actual data? There are some types, which are defined as associations to entities, and it would be useful to be able to have access to and load in...
CDS provides a set of common types and aspects for reuse in CDS models, so we can avoid reinventing the wheel each time. Moreover, we end up with concise models that are easier to understand, and our models are more interoperable.In this set, there's...
