2769193 - Custom CDS View not showing data in "preview" - SAP S/4HANA Cloud

Symptom

When trying to preview a Custom CDS View but no data is being returned.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Custom CDS Views app.
  2. Select a Custom CDS View.
  3. Click on Preview for this view.
  4. In the preview of the data there is no real data, and the message "No Data" is displayed.

Cause

If there is really data in this view, the user may not have authorization to see the data.

Resolution

Add the required authorization to the user.

As an example, while trying to view I_MaintOrderOperationData, adding a role to the user that would give access to the Display Maintenance Order app. 

If it's not clear what role to add, search for the primary datasource in SAP Help Portal or create an incident for the component responsible for that specific view. To find the concerned component, follow the steps below:

  1. Go to the View Browser app.
  2. Search for the View.
  3. This app will list the responsible component for that view.
