Symptom
- The Export Software Collection Check includes many warnings related to Custom CDS Views including many similar to the following:
- Field <fieldName>: Data type CHAR has length nnnnnn greater than max. Chavl length (250)
- Association <associationName> is not available
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Resolution
- With the upgrade to SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition 2005, additional checking has been added to the Export Software Collection app for Analytical Custom CDS Views (both Cube and Dimension Scenarios)
- These messages are strictly warnings informing that there MIGHT be a problem - action does not need to (and in some case cannot) be taken to address the warnings
- For the specific message types:
- Field <fieldName>: Data type CHAR has length nnnnnn greater than max. Chavl length (250)
- The Analytical Engine supports strings with a maximum length of 250 characters
- Strings longer than 250 characters will be truncated
- Association <associationName> is not available
- Some data will not be available in an Analytical report derived from the Custom CDS View (e.g. Custom Analytical Query
- To resolve the issue, the associationName (usually defined in the primary data source of the Custom CDS View) needs to be included in the Custom CDS View
