Eclipse - Where-Used functionality for ABAP CDS views not working

[mchrista]

Hi all,

I want to get the know the all usage of a CDS View. In the subsequent screenshot, I try to get the "where-used-list" of CDS View I_MaterialDocumentRecord. I get only 5 hits in the result whereas my colleague gets more than 200.

I have already tried the following points:

• Calling "where-used" from project editor, outline, code editor and the menu button. All results in the same behavior.
• Activated business function "SRIS_CODE_SEARCH" as suggested by the eclipse config guide.
• Ran the code-search and this also doesn't show related CDS views
• Downloaded a different Eclipse-Version 2409 with no change
• Checked authorization object s_adt_res and a * star is assigned to me

To me it looks like that the object types are filtered, as I can see only access controls and package interfaces. But I don't find any setting, where I would be able to change this.

As I'm really stuck, any help is highly appreciated.

Please explain what "your colleague" does to get more than 200 entries. Why is there a difference with you? What ABAP version do you use? NB: installing the latest Eclipse ADT version is often not sufficient, what is important is the backend ABAP version and SP number.

He is on a different system but same version. It is an S/4HANA 2023 SP02 Backend.
Also tried on a different backend-system with same result. My guess is that it is more related to an eclipse issue.

ABAP 7.58 doesn't have any business function SRIS_CODE_SEARCH and doesn't provide a where-used list between CDS views, only SAP GUI transaction SDDLAR works as shown here: https://community.sap.com/t5/application-development-discussions/where-used-functionality-for-abap-c....

EDIT: you mean SRIS_SOURCE_SEARCH. This one exists in ABAP 7.58 and deactivated by default. Be careful, activating it makes REPOSRC table grow from 10 to 100 GB (source: 3339157 - How to deactivate business function SRIS_SOURCE_SEARCH - SAP for Me).

I was able to find business function SRIS_CODE_SEARCH in transaction SFW5 and could successfully activate it. After activation, the error on the object search in Eclipse disappeared. However, I got further information. A colleague working on the same system as I am faces the same issue. However, the colleague for whom it works is on S/4HANA 2023 Initial Shipment. I'll upload the screenshots in a second. Thus, I wonder what is missing for 2023 SP02. Was the functionality taken out? And yes, SDDLAR works but it is slow and not that handy.

EDIT: You are correct with the business function. Sorry for the confusion. 

EDIT 2: Screenshots from the colleague where it works

Hi,

Have you tried to follow the instructions in SAP Note 28022 to create the index for the where-used list of SAP objects? This might solve the issue.

Kind regards,
Armin
