Failed to create a CDS view in Eclipse with Annotation-@VDM.viewType: #BASIC

[former_member645632]

Hello all

I have been trying the SAP Cloud Trial Cockpit and started using the Eclipse and creating basic views for testing.

I am trying to create a basic interface view based on the /dmo/flight table

the Annotation @VDM.viewType: #BASIC fails and eclipse suggests that theres no such annotation and its unknown.

as

@AbapCatalog.sqlViewName: 'ZXSHTRAVELM'

@AbapCatalog.compiler.compareFilter: true

@AbapCatalog.preserveKey: true

@AccessControl.authorizationCheck: #NOT_REQUIRED

@EndUserText.label: 'basic interface view'

@VDM.viewType: #BASIC

@Analytics.dataCategory: #DIMENSION

define view zi_travel_m_sodogan as select from /dmo/flight {

key carrier_id,

key connection_id,

key flight_date, price,

@Semantics.currencyCode: true

currency_code,

plane_type_id,

seats_max,

seats_occupied }

Hi Solen,

This annotation is not yet available in ABAP Cloud, but your CDS view should get created without it. Why do you need it?

I understand that for analytical models, you may need it. I am assuming you are not building the same.

Hi

thanks for your response,i appreciate it

I am trying to learn odata via exposing cds through consumption view.

To create a consumption view i need this annotation and mark it as

consumption.

So that i can expose it as an ODATA service

[GK817]

to expose it as odata, you just need @odata.publish = true.

Would like to understand, What is that you will do with view type as consumption that you are not able to do without it. I understand for analytics, you may need it.

Hi,

VDM has no influence on out put of CDS. This annotation is used to just understand the type of the view.

Thanks,
