How do I make a field from a child entity available as non-default in a list report?

2025-05-06T17:16:37.136000+02:00

I am in the BTP ABAP Environment working on some RAP annotations. I have a RAP Object that looks like this:

define root view entity ROOT
composition [0..*] of CHILD as _child
{
  key uuid,
...
      _child
}

define view entity CHILD
association to parent ROOT as_root on CHILD.rootuuid = ROOT.uuid
{
  key uuid,
      rootuuid,
      CoolValue,
      _root
}

In the annotations of the ROOT, I know I can add fields from my child like so:

annotate entity ROOT with
{
  @ui: {
    lineItem: [{ position: 10, value: '_child.CoolValue' }],
    selectionField: [{ position: 10, element: '_child.CoolValue' }]
  }
  _child;
}

These annotations work great if I want the field to be displayed by default.

My requirement is to have the field available, but not displayed. So for filter fields, I want to see the field in 'Adapt Filters', and for the list I want to view the field in the view settings' Columns list. But by default they should not be displayed.

If I remove the annotations, the field 'CoolValue' is not available at all (because you lose the reference to the field that is important in the child entity). How can I adjust this implementation to make the field available, but not shown by default?

BP is not creating with respect to new customer creation

I used the class CMD_EI_API and the method MAINTAIN_DIRECT_INPUT to pass customer data into the deep structure. It successfully updated the customer in table KNA1, but the Business Partner (BP) was not created. I checked the BP records and confirmed it wasn’t generated. Please let me know how to resolve this

Accessing association's data when calling a CDS via web API (V2 or V4 odata).

2025-05-09T11:35:24.161000+02:00

Hello, i have created a pretty simple cds view entity.
I have created a service definition and a service binding to V2 API Odata.
I have a problem with accessing association's data when using an API call (via transaction /IWFND/GW_CLIENT ).
When i work with it in "Eclipse" i can follow the association _item and view the results supplied by it.However I have a problem when i try to access the data supplied by association _item, when executing an API call to the service via sap transaction: /IWFND/GW_CLIENT.

View definition:

@AbapCatalog.viewEnhancementCategory: [#NONE]
@AccessControl.authorizationCheck: #NOT_REQUIRED

    sizeCategory: #S,
    dataClass: #MIXED
}
define view entity ztest_order as select from vbak
      
association [1..*] to vbap as _item on 
    $projection.Salesorder = _item.vbeln

{
    key vbeln as Salesorder,
    kunnr as SoldToParty,
    _item
}

Service definition:

@EndUserText.label: 'x'
define service Ztest_order01_srv {

result:
{
"Salesorder" : "2567",
"SoldToParty" : "1810146"
}

Request with attempt for accessing association _item:

request:
/sap/opu/odata/sap/ZTEST_ORDER01_SRV_V2/ztest_order('2567')?$expand=_item
response:
{
  "error" : {
    "message" : {

      "value" : "Resource not found for the segment '_item'."
    },

CDS deep level association - expose to service - problem

2025-05-14T09:01:07.857000+02:00

Hello i have 3 cds views and would like to expose the main view ZTEST_R1_ORD_MAIN as a service.
My aim is when the service is being executed to be able to return the data related to all items (view ZTEST_R1_ORD_VBAP) related to the root view and all schedule lines (view ZTEST_R1_ORD_VBEP) related to the items.
I.e. the structure is 3 levels deep:
ZTEST_R1_ORD_MAIN -> ZTEST_R1_ORD_VBAP -> ZTEST_R1_ORD_VBEP
and relations are performed via associations.
I export the root entity ZTEST_R1_ORD_MAIN via @odata.publlish:true

I perform tests via transaction /IWFND/GW_CLIENT.
I do have an access (via @expand=) to association which relates the 1st to the 2nd view (ZTEST_R1_ORD_MAIN -> ZTEST_R1_ORD_VBAP), i.e. association _item. And i can read the entries in _item association.
The problem is that i can NOT access association which relates 2nd to the 3rd view (ZTEST_R1_ORD_VBAP -> ZTEST_R1_ORD_VBEP), i.e. association: _schline. And i can NOT read the entities in _schline association.

I don't know if this is restriction of @odata.publish:true...
I have tried also with manually creating service and service binding - again without success.
Sap returns message like: _schline is not a recognizable object.

Here are the view definitions:

1st level view is exposed as a service via @odata.publish:true

@AccessControl.authorizationCheck: #NOT_REQUIRED
@EndUserText.label: 'x'

    key etenr,

Please, give me an advice how to solve this.

When I tried to open from BTP cockpit, it ended up like this.

Any idea what is the reason? Is that because SAP maintenance? If yes, how can I easily check maintenance calendar plan by SAP for this trial account? Any link?

Hi Team

When trying to create an ABAP trial version instance in the BTP cockpit, the creation process fails. Could this be due to a planned upgrade or maintenance? If so, does anyone have information on when the maintenance will be completed and when instance creation will be available again?

Not able to create a communication scenario on package in eclipse for ODBC usage

2025-05-19T15:52:37.328000+02:00

Using the tutorial 'Using ODBC driver for SQL Service' I am not able to create a communication scenario on my package in order to proceed with the ODBC setup interfacing CDS entity views. I refer to step 7 in the tutorial:

Using ODBC driver for SQL Service | SAP Tutorials

The only option to create a communication scenario is on a project instead of a package and I get the message I get is: "Communication Scenario is not supported in the selected project".

Create custom entity with compositions exposed as OData V4 API

2025-05-22T09:42:18.863000+02:00

Hello Experts,

I have a question which I am not able to solve by myself ^^

My requirement basically is to create a new custom API in SAP S/4 HANA Public Cloud that allows me, for a given {warehouse + batch-managed product + quantity}, to find the list of all batch numbers, that can be consumed to address that batch-managed product's quantity based on some rules.

I gave myself as objective to create this structure as output of my new custom API, with a header structure (giving the status of the batch determination logic) and an item list (giving the list of all the batch numbers that should be used for the consumption, with the quantity to be consumed in each batch):

I started by created 2 custom CDS entities: one for the header structure and another one for the item structure.

I added this annotation to both these 2 custom CDS entities "@ObjectModel.query.implementedBy:'ABAP:ZCL_TEST_BATCH_NBR_DET1'" where "ZCL_TEST_BATCH_NBR_DET1'" is a custom class referencing interface "IF_RAP_QUERY_PROVIDER" In order to be able to trigger its method "SELECT" when someone tries to retrieve data from either one of my 2 custom CDS entities.

In order to have a parent-child relationship between my 2 custom CDS entities, I added a composition statement in the header custom entity CDS view and an association to parent statement in the line-items child custom entity CDS view.

Custom Entity for the Header parent CDS view:

Custom Entity for the Line-Item Child CDS view:

Then I implemented code for the SELECT statement of my custom class ZCL_TEST_BATCH_NBR_DET1.

Once done, I created a new service definition exposing both my 2 custom cds entities:

Then I exposed my service definition into an OData V4 API service binding, followed with the normal communication scenario, comm arrangement configuration..

My problem is that, once all this is done, when I try to execute my API from POSTMAN, I am not able to get the header AND the item data AT THE SAME TIME.

I am able for instance to get data for the header custom entity CDS view with the correct structure I defined:

I am also able to get data for the line_item custom entity CDS view, for the different batch numbers to use for the consumption as per the structure I designed:

But, How can I merge these two results of these 2 entities in the same response?

I want my custom API response to be similar to the following one:

How can I accomplish this please?

I thought by creating a composition relationship between these 2 custom entities, that the SELECT method will fetch data for both header and Item custom entity CDS views and that the result will be merged in the same response, but it is not.

Also, when I run a GET OData call to the header entity, "SELECT" method of class "ZCL_TEST_BATCH_NBR_DET0" is called only once, and "io_request->get_entity_id( )" gives "ZC_TEST_BATCH_DETERMIN_HD" as entity. This means, that my logic is being executed ONLY on the header custom CDS view, which is not enough to fulfill my requirement.

Then I tried to add "$expand" to the OData URL to execute, by adding "?$expand=_BatchDetItemDetails" to my URL:

but I am getting HTTP Bad Request error in POSTMAN : "

"The expand option's expand path contains an invalid property '_BatchDetItemDetails'",

Can someone help me on this please? I feel like my custom API is not designed to "accept" any "expand" attribute.

Or if you have another idea on how to achieve this, without having to use the "?$expand" statement?

Thanks experts

It has inbuild AIF namespace and Interface name details in the proxy. I am trying to create the given name space /TMINT using /AIF/CUST. I get below error; we cannot save this namespace.

Any suggestions on how to save the namespace or any other approach to achieve this scenario.
