Best Approach from CDC on CDS Views - Data Intelligence

2023-10-25T13:00:55+02:00

Hi All,

We are starting a new Project that will connect CDS Views to third parties using Fata Intelligence.

We expect to have a CDC process to retrieve data as it changes to third parties ( S3 and in soms cases Datashpere ).

We know that we can stabilish CDC on CDS Viewa by Annotations, and we still have the option to use SLT to replicate the data ( inside DI ).

In this scenario, wich would be the best approach ? Use directly CDC on CDS Views and DI or use SLT to replicate the data from CDS Views ?

Regards,

Cristian

Unable to Add Tables to Nodes in HANA view

2023-10-27T14:47:55+02:00

Hi Folks,

I am facing a weird issue on SAP HANA Studio (v2.3.74), while adding SAP application tables (ACDOCA,AUFK,etc.) in Projection/Aggregation Nodes while creating HANA Studio.

Issue: When we add a Datasource to a node (the list of fields do not show up for SAP App tables) in SAP HANA Modeling Perspective.

This is where it starts to get weirder -

We are able to add tables for Date/Time dimensions - in "_SYS_BI" SCHEMA.

However, the same HANA Db & HANA Studio, with the same user ID - but this time on the HANA Development Perspective, every thing works like a charm:

System details - RISE with SAP S4 HANA db on Private Cloud.

Please let me know what piece of the pie am i missing.

Thanks in advance.

What Annotations are needed in a CDS Cube to setup up a Hierarchy ?

2023-10-31T00:18:07+01:00

Hi,

I need the hierarchy representation of the GL Accounts in a a query on top of a Cube based on I_JournalEntryItemCube.

Cube ZCACCOUNTHIER joins to I_GLAccountHierarchyNode and I_GLAccountHierarchyNodeT

Query ZCACCOUNTHIER sits on top of ZCACCOUNTHIER

What are the necessary Hierarchie Annotations to get this thing run ?

Are there a Standard CDS available showing this ?

ThanXs a lot .

Overview Page Navigation card not working

2023-11-19T19:52:45+01:00

Hello Guys,

I created through the SAP Web IDE Personal Edition an Overview Page based on a simple CDS-View.

Is it possible to access a transaction through IntentBasedNavigation? I tried it for all four Cards, but I don't regonize any differences in the appearance.

Here is a screenshot of the Annotation:

Also a screenshot from the App:

I tried this in an Analytical List Report, and the wished column appeared as a Hyperlink. Ist this also possible in an Overview Page?

Kind Regards

Analytical List Page call transaction

2023-11-22T17:32:54+01:00

Hey Guys,

I try to call a transcation through the Annotation DataFieldWithIntentBasedNavigation in an Analytical List Page:

Also I created a semantic Object as you can look it up at the tutorials:

When the app is started you can see the wanted column as a link, but after clicking on one of the links I get this Error Message.

Is this due to assigned roles? I looked into the SU53 but could not find any Errors.

I'm looking forward to your help.

Kind Regards

S/4HANA - SAC Story Integration - Storys not visible

2023-12-04T11:11:48+01:00

Hello all,

I'm currently trying to establish the integration of SAC Storys in the Fiori launchpad. In order to make the storys availbale, we've established a CORS connection to our S/4HANA system.

Afterwards we've set up the S/4HANA - and SAP-Analytics Cloud connection following this documentation: Maintaining SAP Analytics Cloud Connections in SAP S/4HANA System | SAP Help Portal. After setting everything up, I'm able to see the connection in the fiori launchpad and within the transaction "/o/SSB/UTIL_SAC_S4HANA" I'm able to test the RFC connection - which was successful. However, when navigation to the fiori launchpad to open a story, I'm not able to find any stories available in the search window.

In SAP Help description there's the following statement: "2. Section: Authorization for API access OAuth Clients. Follow all steps". As a result I looked up the following documentation: Integrating SAP Analytics Cloud (OAuth) | SAP Help Portal. In this they use the SAML Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication method. Is this authentication method a prerequisite to display the SAC storys in the fiori launchpad? We're currently using the standard (SAP Cloud Identity) authentication mehtod.

Thanks in advance.

How to leverage a base field into a given CDS view best for reporting

2023-12-11T13:54:11+01:00

Hi,

How to leverage a base field in a given CDS view best for reporting ?

Got CDS: C_PurOrdAvgDelivTime

Need Field: StorageLocation ( from underlying EKPO.LGORT)

StorageLocation ( =EKPO.LGORT) is contained in the green, underlying CDS Views and the table:

I_PurchasingDocumentItem
I_PurchaseOrderItem

StorageLocation is not contained in the red uplevel, CDS Views:

P_PurchaseOrderItemHistory
C_PurOrderItemHistoryValues2
C_PurOrdAvgDelivTime

What to do best ?

Rewrite: P_PurchaseOrderItemHistory, C_PurOrderItemHistoryValues2, C_PurOrderItemHistoryValues
Extension to all: How systematically ?

How to extend a SAP Standard CDS analytical Consumption view with fields and values

2023-12-11T15:21:56+01:00

Hi,

need to extend an analytical consumption view by a field...

...defined in a lower level of the cds stack.

What means, leverage this field to the consumption view:

This is seeminlgy a standard problem but SAP help offers each and anything but nothing concrete.

In Detail and real life:

Task is to leverage EKPO.LGORT to C_PURORDAVGDELIVTIME .
EKPO.LGORT is defined as StorageLocation in I_PurchaseOrderItem

The current construction:

Green are the CDS Views where the Storage Location ( ex EKPO.LGORT) is defined.
Red are the CDS Views where the Storage Location ( ex EKPO.LGORT ) is missing.

Whats best method to get the field and the data to the top level view C_PURORDAVGDELIVTIME ?

Write a Customized ZI_I_PurchaseOrderHistory, ZP_PurchaseOrderItemHistory , ZC_PurOrderItemHistoryValues2, ZC_PURORDAVGDELIVTIME , quit deterring ....;) ?
Write an extension: but how ?
Is there a sample in the SAP ABAB DEMOS Packages ?

ThanXs

I hope you're doing well. I have a question about the Analytical List Page (ALP) application in Fiori.

Can we use ALP to show EWM (Extended Warehouse Management) data? If yes, do we need to do something with the EWM OData service, and how can we go about it?

Thanks for your help!

Embedded Analytics standard content available for the Cloud for Customer data in S4 hana system

Hi Geeks,

I would like to know if there is any standard content like reports or dashboards available in S4HANA Embedded Analytics (Either in Fiori or in SAC) especially for C4C (Cloud for Customer) data which was extracted to the S4 Hana system. In standalone SAC we have content for C4C, similarly, I need to know whether any standard content is available in S4 Embedded analytics.

Native HANA Information Views on Source system S4/HANA.

2024-04-05T20:41:14.880000+02:00

Hello,

As per SAP recommendation for S/4 HANA as a Business Suite, for Operational and Analytics reporting, CDS Views is the way to go. CDS views will then be consumed by Fiori apps and Embedded analytics.

Since we have BW/4HANA in place and all the operational reporting is done there through Native HANA Calculation views, is it feasible to use these models by export import in Source system data base? what are pros and cons of creating HANA Graphical CALC views (information Views) directly on Source system?

What are differences in terms of performance and ease of consuming ABAP CDS views Vs HANA Information Views?

exception aggregation used in CDS view and that field is not available in SAC

2024-04-17T15:39:27.324000+02:00

Hi Experts,

I have used exception aggregation in the CDS consumption view like:

@AnalyticsDetails.query.axis: #COLUMNS

@EndUserText.label: 'Total Accounts in SAP'

@AnalyticsDetails.exceptionAggregationSteps.exceptionAggregationBehavior: #MAX

@AnalyticsDetails.exceptionAggregationSteps.exceptionAggregationElements: [ 'portion' ,'CompanyCode' ,'UtilitiesDivision']

TotalAcctsSAP,

This field is not available in SAC to be consumed. Not available in the model as well.

Can anyone help me on this..

How to achieve multiple default values in Fiori list page by using @Odata.publish annotation
