Symptom
You're trying to add a CDS View as data source when creating a Custom CDS View of type "External API" and it's not available, even after removing all default filters.
The View Browser shows it as "Released"
The View is of type "Data Extraction"
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Pubic Cloud Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Open Custom CDS Views.
- Create a View of type External API.
- Search for the view
- Remove all filters.
- No results found.
Cause
The CDS Views with Data Extraction type are only defined for data extraction purpose. It’s only allowed to be the data source of Custom CDS View for data extraction.
Resolution
If it’s required for other scenarios (e.g., external API, standard custom view), more supported capabilities need to be added in the model which need to be submitted via a feature request.
