ABAP CDS views

You can use a data dictionary-based or entity-based ABAP CDS view as a source or lookup in mappings.

You can read data from ABAP CDS views from the SAP NetWeaver system version 7.50 SP4 or later.

When you import an ABAP CDS view into

Cloud

Data Integration, the agent adds a prefix to the parameter name. The prefix is used to indicate the parameter type.

You can use the following types of parameters:

Mandatory Parameter.
A parameter for which you need to specify a value. For example, in the field

paramM_P_FISCALYEAR

paramM

is the prefix for a mandatory parameter that the agent adds.

P_FISCALYEAR

is the parameter name that is a part of ABAP CDS views.

Optional Parameter.
When you define a parameter in SAP and use the annotation

@Environment.systemField

, the parameter appears as an optional parameter in the list of fields.

If you do not provide a value, the optional parameter uses the ABAP system fields values.

For example, in the field

paramO_P

paramO

is the prefix for an optional parameter that the agent adds.

P_TOFISCALPER

is the parameter name that is a part of ABAP CDS views.

The following image shows the mandatory and optional parameter when you select a CDS view:

In the example, paramO denotes an optional parameter and paramM denotes a mandatory parameter.
