BOPF with CDS view createEnabled is not available

[former_member188554]

Hello Team,

I am using SAP NW 7.5 with EHP8. I want to create on CDS view with BOPF. But i am getting one issue that @ObjectModel.createEnabled is not available.

But Objectmodel.createEnabled and Objectmodel.deleteEnabled are available.

Can anyone please help me on this ?

Any chance you are using the odata version of ADT tools?

Hi Deborshi,

this is a known problem.

If you create a SEGW project with Reference Data Source approach you will be able to redefine the DEFINE method of the model provider extension class.

Here you can add the following coding (you have to adapt it to the name of your entity type) so that the appropriate annotation sap:createtable = true will be generated in the $metadata document.

METHOD define.
  DATA: lo_entity_type TYPE REF TO /iwbep/if_mgw_odata_entity_typ, 

        lo_property  TYPE REF TO /iwbep/if_mgw_odata_property.
  super->define( ).
  "Create sap:creatable="true" annotation for product entity set  

lo_entity_type = model->get_entity_type( zcl_z_be2ui_###_mpc=>gc_zc_be2ui_product_###type ).
  IF lo_entity_type IS NOT INITIAL.  

lo_entity_type->set_creatable( abap_true ).  

"Create sap:creatable="false" annotation for the key field "Product"  

lo_property = lo_entity_type->get_property( 'Product').  

IF lo_property IS NOT INITIAL.  

lo_property->set_creatable( abap_false ).  

ENDIF.  

ENDIF.
  ENDMETHOD.

Thanks Andre,

in addition to lo_entity_type->set_creatable( abap_true ),

I noticed that BOPF actions also need to be checked, CREATE comes always disabled after CDS activation, at least in my system

with checkbox clicked and BOPF regenerated, it has finally worked!

my CDS

@AbapCatalog.sqlViewName: 'ZTRYBOPFFIO'

@AbapCatalog.compiler.compareFilter: true

@AbapCatalog.preserveKey: true

@AccessControl.authorizationCheck: #CHECK

@EndUserText.label: 'Demo abap for fiori'

@OData.publish: true

@VDM.viewType: #CONSUMPTION

@ObjectModel:

{

modelCategory: #BUSINESS_OBJECT,

compositionRoot: true,

transactionalProcessingEnabled: true,

writeActivePersistence: 'ztry_bopf_fiori',

updateEnabled: true,

deleteEnabled: true

//createEnabled: true added in define method of ZCL_ZTRY_IF_BOPF_FIORI

}

define view ZTRY_IF_BOPF_FIORI

as select from ztry_bopf_fiori

{

@UI:{ selectionField: [{ position: 10 }],

lineItem : [{ position: 10 }],

identification: [{ position: 10 , label: 'Sales Order' }] }

key so_id,

@UI:{ selectionField: [{ position: 20 }],

lineItem : [{ position: 20 }],

identification: [{ position: 20 , label: 'Billing Status' }] }

billing_status,

@UI:{ selectionField: [{ position: 30 }],

lineItem : [{ position: 30 }],

identification: [{ position: 30 , label: 'Gross Amount' }] }

gross_amount,

@UI:{ selectionField: [{ position: 40 }],

lineItem : [{ position: 40 }],

identification: [{ position: 40 , label: 'Currency Code' }] }

currency_code

}

//Important: if cds is changed define method will be regenerated and changes will be lost, so redefine again-add below code

// METHOD define.

// DATA: lo_entity_type TYPE REF TO /iwbep/if_mgw_odata_entity_typ,

//

// lo_property TYPE REF TO /iwbep/if_mgw_odata_property.

//

//

// super->define( ).

// "Create sap:creatable="true" annotation for entity set

//

// lo_entity_type = model->get_entity_type( 'ZTRY_IF_BOPF_FIORIType' ).

// IF lo_entity_type IS NOT INITIAL.

//

// lo_entity_type->set_creatable( abap_true ).

//

// ENDIF.

//

//

// ENDMETHOD.

Its really helpful. I am facing the same issue. How did you set the Create action in the BOPF object generated by CDS view.
