SAP TechBytes -- ABAP CDS View Extensions

[@kartefact]

If the original (standard) CDS view entity selects data based on a certain where clause with some hard-coded values, is there a way to modify the where clause using extensions?

Hi, no it is not possible to modify where condition of original CDS view as an Extended view entity

@@sapdevs So, do we create a custom CDS view completely newly? This introduces the risk of upgrade. If the standard CDS view is updated by SAP, the custom CDS view will still use the old logic. What do you suggest? What's the best practice in this case?

Hi mam, Thanks for this session. I have doubt regarding the custom objects like reports. I am currently working in Public cloud project as Functional Consultant. So in our project business came up with new requirement like Aging report for both customer and supplier. So, with the help of our SAP community and Blogs we developed the report by using the existing available standard CDS views and analytical queries mam. So now my doubt is in SAP S4HANA we have SE16N-Table View to pass the values and check the FS before sharing with Developers but in cloud i think so Table View SE16N is not available. So, if any report we need to develop with the help of developer means how we can write a FS based on cloud data sources because i can see in cloud we have a sap standard data sources and in cds view we can use multiple data source as associated data source. So, my question is if we are going to develop a report with the help of developer how we can convey logic into their language. Is there smiliar APP in cloud same as SE16N. As a functional consultant i try to understand the cloud functionality. So kindly let me know mam.

Have you tried using Customer Data Browser to check the data preview of an authorised CDS view?
