Virtual data models in ABAP CP

[#1]

Do VDM are supported in ABAP in Cloud environment?

When I try to create view with @VDM.viewType it throws syntax error.

Hi Pavel,

Probably this particular annotation is not available yet, but what is stopping you from creating child & parent CDS views? You should be able to proceed without this annotation.

Primarily, in S/4HANA VDM, view types are used to control access to various standard provided CDS views. I agree that we may need to create our own VDM, which is very much possibility on SCP ABAP as new applications could be created here with own custom VDM. This annotation should come in future, i expect. For now, you should be able to proceed though.

It's very weird because ABAP Cloud is positioned as based only on RESTful programming model for Fiori, and virtual models is a essential part of this concept, but it is not supported.

Where can I get full list of annotations and with specification of which one is available from which S/4HANA version?
