Creating and Activating Data Models
Creating and Editing CDS View Entities

You can now create and edit the new CDS view entities that provide improved functionalities, such as
activation, and so on.

To do this, you create or edit a data definition using the define view entity template/statement.

Recommendation
SAP recommends using CDS view entities instead of CDS DDIC-based view due to technical
improvements, such as performance at activation, and so on.

Creating a Data Definition

Creating ABAP CDS Objects With Reference to Other Objects

When creating, for example, a data definition, you can now refer to an existing CDS object or database
table. This enables you to insert all elements of a referenced object in your new CDS object to be created.

Referencing at creation is provided in the following creation wizards and source code editors:
Data definitions: You want to insert all elements from a referenced CDS entity when creating a data
definition.

Note that inserting all elements is only realized for data definitions.

Access control: You want to protect a CDS entity by creating an access control.

Metadata extension: You want to extend a CDS entity by creating a metadata extension
Service definition: You want to expose a CDS entity by creating an access control.
