Consume Data from CDS Views

Use CDS views and expose them as ODATA Services for integration with SAP Build to access business data more easily.

CDS views are the virtual data models in SAP S/4HANA and SAP S/4HANA Cloud. They expose business data, stored in database tables, in a format that is based on business semantics and therefore easier to consume. There are multiple use cases where you only need to read data from SAP systems, and CDS views are one of the easiest ways to achieve that in SAP S/4HANA. There are a lot of pre-delivered CDS views in SAP S/4HANA (SAP S/4HANA CDS views and SAP S/4HANA Cloud CDS views), and exposing them as an ODATA service enables you to read the relevant business data from SAP Build. For more information about exposing CDS views as an ODATA service, see SAP S/4HANA and S/4HANA Cloud.

Once the service is available, create an action project in the SAP Build lobby and manually define an action based on the generated ODATA service. The action can then be consumed across SAP Build Process Automation.
