The SAP S/4HANA virtual data model (VDM) is buit with ABAP-managed COS views. What are some of the prerequisites for using these SAP S4HANA ABAP COS views for eextraction into SAP BW/4HANA in an ODP…

Question

Options

• AABAP CDS Views must be released via program for BW extraction
• BAn ODP source system with type ODP_CDS must be created in SAP BW/4HANA
• CABAP CDS views must be defined with the appropriate data annotations
• DThe Operational Data Provisioning Framework must be configured SAP BW/4HANA

• A
  13% (7)
• B
  80% (43)
• D
  7% (4)

Explanation

Options B and C identify the two actual technical prerequisites: the CDS view must carry the correct data annotations (e.g., @Analytics.dataExtraction.enabled: true) to expose it as an ODP provider, and BW/4HANA must have a source system of type ODP_CDS configured to connect to that provider - without either piece, extraction simply cannot occur.

Option A is wrong because CDS views are not "released via a program"; availability for extraction is controlled entirely through annotations declared within the view definition itself, not through any separate release program.

Option D is a trap: the ODP framework lives on the source system (S/4HANA), not in BW/4HANA, and it does not require a distinct configuration step - it is part of the ABAP stack. What BW/4HANA needs is the source system connection (option B), which is a different thing.

Memory tip: Think "Tag it, then tap it" - you must tag the CDS view with the right annotations (C) before BW/4HANA can tap into it via the ODP_CDS source system (B). Everything else (release programs, framework config) is a distractor describing things that either happen automatically or happen on the wrong system.
