Editing HANA views after package changes

[Former Member]

Dear Colleagues,

We face this situation quite often, where we end up changing the folder structure of our HANA artifacts.

Changing this folder structure demands,

1. changing CDS(HDBDD) file with the new folder structure as namespace and on activation creates tables with different names(paths).

- This is easy and straight forward.

2. Also we need to adapt HANA views(Attribute, Analytic and Calculation views) with the new table names/paths.

- For this the effort seems to be huge, deleting the old tables and inserting the tables with new path/name

-This was like re-modelling the views altogether from scratch.

Do we have any other better approach than re-modeling the HANA views to adapt to the new tables.

Is there any other option like "Changing Authoring Schema" for changing "Tables" that is part of the HANA views.

Please suggest.

Thanks,

Vijay

Hi Vijay,

For point #2, If only the table's path is changing then you can modify the xml file with the new path.

This is easier in development perspective where you have to right click on the AT/AN/CV view object and 'Open in Text Editor' . Then update the path of the base table and reactivate the view. This way you do not have to remodel the view.

Tarun
