Custom ABAP CDS Views in Public Cloud

[aalexis]

Three parts to this question

1. Can I extend a standard ABAP CDS and create a custom ABAP CDS view on top of it and expose it as OData Service (Consumption view) so it can be consumed in SAP SAC?

2. Can I create a fully customizable CDS view all the way (Basic, Composite and Consumption views) and expose it as OData Service for SAP SAC?

3. To expose as OData Service is there a specific Fiori Tile similar to /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE exist in SAP Public Cloud?

Thank you,

Arthur

Hi,

Yes, I think the answer is yes for first two questions. And in Public Cloud, there is an APP - Custom CDS Views, you can expose custom CDS Views as OData Service via this APP.

Hello Arthur,

yes, you can create analytical query as CDS view entities and consume in SAP Analytics Cloud. You can find more general information in the overview blog post: Developing for Analytics with the SAP BTP ABAP Environment or in the Devtoberfest session: Introduction to Embedded Analytics with ABAP Cloud.

Corresponding documentation in ABAP Analytics and hands-on examples/tutorials here:

• Analytical Data Modeling & Live Data Connection to SAP Analytics Cloud
• Develop and Consume Queries on SAP Analytics Cloud
• Develop Queries Based on Booking Supplement and Consume on SAP Analytics Cloud

Best regards,
Peter
