Simple App built via RAP ( also covers domain F4 )

Document : Created by Manjeet Dang

Scenario:

Create a simple basic app via RAP with a list page and an object page.

• Please note that you should have a knowledge about CDS annotations ( and if you have not
worked on CDS earlier, then please go through each and every line of CDS in this post
properly and do a hands on )
• Here I have tried to explain a basic app without draft functionality ( will try to cover draft
and other high level scenarios in further posts)

Approach:

Step 1: Create a DB Table


For field Project status, say you have a requirement that you need F4 on this table on basis of
domain values, then you will have to create

For data element ZSTATUS, I have taken below domain:

Now you will create a CDS on top of domain DB table dd07l and domain text table dd07t and pass
your specific DOMAIN VALUE.

CDS:

Can Try domain f4 directly from text cds also( as it has language, domain value, text columns)
Value Help Table output:

Step 2: Create a Basic CDS on top of it

Now create a root CDS (as RAP needs ROOT syntax for CDS)
Step 3: Create BDEF

Note that BDEF Name is disabled as BDEF always take same name as what we give in root entity (
that is the root CDS here) which is ZROOT_MDANG_CDS2
Step 4: Create Service Definition

Step 5: Create Service Binding

Note that I exposed only root entity and all value helps used in my consumption view are
automatically exposed here.

Click on PREVIEW to see list page:

On top, we see 3 selection/filter fields, also we see fields with @[Link] annotation, also create,
delete buttons

Click on GO to see data

Click on create to create data (Since we gave a managed BDEF IMPL, so crud operation will be
handled automatically )
On object page, we see all identification fields

Marked we see header info: title value and description value.

On saving, we see marked fields with purpose #Header

Also we can edit and delete these.

And check DB now, to see etag last changed date time ( in bdef) and see uuid ( autogenerated due to
numbering managed in bdef)
