redefining RDS based O data service

[#1]

Hello All,

I'm trying to extend a Standard Fiori App - Classify Products - Commodity Code for adding a new selection field.

I extended the CDS to add the new field. Now , how do we redefine the Odata service. Standard approach for redefining does not works in RDS based approach.

andre.fischer describes the work around in one of his blogs.

How to redefine RDS based OData services? | SAP Blogs , But this has restrictions and requires lots of additional efforts.

I read many blogs , but did not found any easy solution for the same. Almost majority of the standard SAP apps delivered by SAP are based on RDS , so my question is how are customer extending the Standard apps delivered by SAP. I am aware of CFL app , but this will not work here , as i have to add new field selection criteria.

Really appreciate the help here.

jocelyn.dart : can you please help here.

Thanks and Regards ,

Hi Shavneet,

If you want to extend an SAP UI5 app, for the front end you can use Business Application Studio or WEB IDE (if it is available) and create your own variant and can deploy it to Gateway. For OData Services we have different ways, you can extend or create a new OData service and maintain this OData service in your variant (manifest level) so that your new app will use your OData service which is completely customized.

Thanks and regards,
