Additional Configuration

Configure Job for updating the Metadata Index of CDS Views v2 (aka View Entities)

Note: Only relevant for NW 7.55 and higher

With NW 7.55 a new version of CDS Views were introduced which do not have an accompanying DDIC View.
Therefore some Metadata information that is necessary for the following features:

  • ABAP Object Search; CDS View:
    • Parameter from
    • Parameter field
  • CDS Analyzer
    • Where-Used Analysis
    • Field Analysis

is missing for these new CDS Views.

To enable the aforementioned features for the new CDS Views as well, a daily job should be configured for the ABAP program ZSAT_CDS_V2_META_INDEX_UPDATE. This program will create the missing Metadata information in the tables:

  • ZSATCDS2MHEAD
  • ZSATCDS2MTAB
  • ZSATCDS2MFIELD

The program will also remove any invalid indexes of deleted CDS Views.
In addition to this program the ADT plugin ABAP Search and Analysis Tools will also trigger an update of the index during the activation of one or more CDS Views.
