Learn ABAP core data services (CDS views) in S/4 HANA, install Eclipse plugins, and build views while exploring modeling features, case statements, string functions, and joins via hands-on demos.
Master built-in string functions in cds views, including length, in, concatenate, left trim, right trim, substring, left pad, right pad, upper, and lower, with practical purchase requisition examples.
Demonstrate using union and union all in CDS views to combine materials from purchase orders and purchase requisitions for plant, showing duplicates removed with union and retained with union all.
Explore how to define associations between cds views using the association keyword and cardinalities, such as zero to many, with projections and underscore aliases.
Explore access control patterns in CDS views and how hierarchical views determine DCL and rule-based authorizations, including inherited conditions from underlying roles, with access control runtime simulator in S/4 HANA.
Review ABAP development setup, ADT, and CDS views; create and modify views with unions, joins, and associations, then consume them in programs with access control.
The new ABAP programming model is based on CDS views for data modelling and access.
CDS views are the next generation Database views and go beyond the limited capability of Database views. CDS views leverage the features of SAP HANA database and helps to push the code from the Application layer to the DB layer.
It forms the basis of the ABAP platform’s modern programming model.
SAP S/4HANA, the next generation business suite, is also based on CDS in the form of the virtual data model (VDM).
This course covers CDS views in depth and will equip the course participants with necessary knowledge required to use CDS view in their projects.
The course is divided into following sections:
Installation of ABAP Development Toolset (ADT)
Modelling your first CDS View
CDS Data Modelling concepts - Part1
Annotations in CDS View
CDS Joins and Associations
CDS Data Modelling concepts - Part 2
Access Control
Virtual Data model
Creation of Smart Template based UI5 app using CDS View Annotations (Fiori Elements app)
AMDP
CDS View Extensions
Course Structure:
The Course is structured into Theory and Demos.
Each section of the course also comes with Assignments. This will be very helpful for you when you start creating CDS views for your projects.
