SAPUI5 CDS annotated cannot find DDIC

[Szczerbowski]

Hi,

I have a List Report built on a CDS and use annotations to provide F4 value helps.
It works if the annotated subquery is 'normal', so a table sourced query.
But if I use an AMDP table function, to query a Hana-side virtual table, then I get:

CX_SADL_NO_DATA_FROM_DDIC
No data retrieved from ABAP dictionary for entity yyy

I cannot find any trigger point for that exception or message SADL_ENTITY-001 so I can't debug what exactly is missing.

In the end I replaced this interface with a custom entity and an RFC call in the implementing ABAP class.
Faster to develop, more consistent in artifacts and easier to control, since I am not involved db-side.
