ABAP CDS View: odata service with no annotations

[b_deterd2]

Hello All,

ABAP System 7.50.

I have an ABAP CDS view like here:

@AbapCatalog.sqlViewName: 'z_cds_test_1'  
@AbapCatalog.compiler.compareFilter: true  
@AccessControl.authorizationCheck: #CHECK  
@EndUserText.label: 'Test 2 CDS'  
@OData.publish: true  
@Search.searchable: true  
define view ZMYFLIGHTS  

    as select from spfli  
    association [1..1] to scarr as spfli_scarr  
    on spfli.carrid = spfli_scarr.carrid  
    {  

       @UI.selectionField: [ { position: 10 } ]  
       @UI.lineItem: [ { position: 10 } ]  
       key spfli.carrid as id,  

       @UI.lineItem: [ { position: 20 } ]  
       @Search.defaultSearchElement: true  
       key spfli_scarr.carrname as carrier,  

        @UI.lineItem: [ { position: 40 } ]  
       key spfli.connid as flight,  


       @EndUserText:{ quickInfo:'Some info22' }  
        @UI.lineItem: [ { position: 50 } ]  
       spfli.cityfrom as departure,  

        @UI.lineItem: [ { position: 60 } ]  
       spfli.cityto as destination  
    }  

The odata service is created because of the annotation @OData.publish: true.

My service (metadata ) is showing no annotation-related data however.

My smart table (Fiori control) is not working and raising the error "Select at least one column to perform the search".

I set the @UI.lineItem annotation though so I would expect this would be enough for the smart table.

There is not a single column in the table.

Any one encountered this problem?

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards,

Bert

Hello Bert,

the metadata.xml does not contain the annotation information, because the annotation information is delivered in an own annotation file via a service call (e.g. "/sap/opu/odata/IWFND/CATALOGSERVICE;v=2/Annotations(TechnicalName='<technical name of annotation service>',Version='<version of annotation service>')/$value/".

The UI.lineItem and UI.selectionField annotation are ok, but the @Search.* annotations are not released yet for customer usage (check note in Search Annotations - Reference - SAP Library).

Best Regards,

Florian
