No Annotations xml file generated in Smart Template by using SAP WEB IDE & CDS

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I tried to develop a simple Fiori app by using CDS and then publish to OData service. Using Smart template in SAP WEB IDE to consume the OData service.

However, I found the the Annotation xml is not created as I expected. BTW, I followed a very good tutorial as below. I copied the code totally, however it has different result.

I am not sure if it is the issue about SAP WEB IDE, because I used SAP WEB IDE Personal Edition version.

Will this issue be solved by using SAP WEB IDE in HCP?

Thank you so much.

As below are my CDS codes.
