CDS View Entity
CDS View vs CDS View Entity
• CDS view entities can be considered a new version of CDS views and will replace the CDS views.
• CDS views were first released in ABAP 7.40, SP05. These are declared using DEFINE VIEW and they create a DDIC /
ABAP Dictionary view. The annotation @AbapCatalog.sqlViewName is used to specify the DDIC view name.
• The SQL view is created/adjusted in the background during activation which impacts the activation performance.
• CDS View Entity is defined with DEFINE VIEW ENTITY and does not have DDIC view associated with it.
Advantages of CDS View entity
• No SQL view is generated on activation – hence improved activation performance
• Automatic client handling which is also implicit – no additional annotation is required
• Strict syntax & annotation checks are applied during activation
• Simpler to extend
• New functionalities like regex replace, new operators like EXCEPT & INTERSECT are available from 7.56
• SAP also provides a standard program RUTDDLS_MIGRATION_CANDIDATES to see if migration of CDS View to CDS View
Entity is possible and in 7.56 we also get a program RUTDDLSV2MIGRATION that does the actual migration.
Root View Entity
• CDS View Entity which acts as a Root Entity for RAP BO

Managed Scenario
• RAP framework Manages Create/Update/Delete operations
Unmanaged Scenario
• Developer Manages Create/Update/Delete operations
• RAP framework does not Manage Create/Update/Delete operations – hence - unmanaged
