CDS Payloads

ASAPIO supports CDS-based extraction for clean-core outbound integration scenarios.

What Are CDS Views?

CDS (Core Data Services) views are SAP's semantic data modeling layer for transactional and analytical consumption in S/4HANA landscapes. They enable reusable, structured data access with optimized execution.

Supported Types

Classic CDS Views

Supported as extraction view source for outbound interfaces and as source tables in payload modeling.

CDS View Entities

• Supported as data source for outbound interfaces since release 9.32504.
• Custom CDS view entities can be modeled and linked to events in Event Studio since release 9.32510.

How to Use CDS View Entities as Data Source

Via Event Studio

Select the CDS view entity in Data Catalog, design payload fields, and deploy the interface as usual.

Via SAP GUI

Configure outbound object with:

• Extraction Func. Module: /ASADEV/ACI_GEN_VIEW_EXTRCT_S4
• Format Function: /ASADEV/ACI_GEN_VIEW_FRM_CB_S4
• Extraction View Name: your CDS View Entity name

Note: Classic SAP GUI search help may not resolve CDS entities, but direct manual entry of the CDS entity name works.
