Task 2 – CDS View Entity Associations ( August Developer Challenge )

By /

Thanks for the enormous response and showing great enthusiasm in Task 1. Let’s continue the ABAP Developer Challenge by enhancing the CDS view entity.

Task 2 – In this task, we will explore some basic SQL function, CDS Associations and use it to enhance the CDS View entity that is created in Task 1.

Follow the instructions carefully and share with us the screenshots of the items mentioned in the ‘Validation’ section of this discussion.

Please use this separate thread to ask your questions and discuss issues.

Here you go:

  1. Create a new field in the CDS view entity created in task 1 and use String function to concatenate Total_Price and Currency_Code.

  2. Since we have Status field in the CDS view entity, let us create an association with /DMO/I_Overall_Status_VH to fetch the corresponding Text field.

  3. Expose the Text field from the association and give a name to the newly created field. This should return the text value of the Status (Overall Status Text)

Validation: Share a screenshot of the following items as a reply to this thread to gain credits:

  1. Data Preview of the CDS View Entity which contains,
    1. 1 new field with concatenated value of Total_Price and Currency_Code.
    2. 1 new field with Overall Status Text

Note: Do not post the screenshot of the CDS view entity. Just Data preview is sufficient.

Enjoy until we are back with the next task!
