Edit Custom CSN Annotations in a View or Table

Edit custom CSN annotations in the Data Builder editors.

Context

Custom CSN annotations allow you to add semantic metadata that cannot at present be set in the entity properties panel. They can be present in imported CSN files or be added manually as SAP Datasphere doesn't provide an interface for certain modeling possibilities. For detailed information on CSN annotations, see Core Data Services Schema Notation (CSN)Information published on SAP site.

The Table Editor, Graphical View Editor, SQL Editor, and E/R Modeler allow the editing and validation of custom CSN annotations.

Procedure

  1. Click (Edit Custom CSN Annotations) to open the Edit Custom CSN Annotations dialog:

    • Click (Previous Annotation) and (Next Annotation) to navigate from one custom CSN annotation to another.

    • Enter changes for the custom CSN annotations in the code.

    • Click (Validate CSN expression) to check if changes invalidate or not the CSN expression.

  2. Click OK to save the changes or Cancel to go back to the editor without saving.
