Underlying Views and Tables for Consumption CDS Views

[Salil_V]

Hi all,

Is there a way (Report, Function Module, Class/Method) to get list of all the underlying CDS Views and DB Tables for a given Consumption View.

Hi, 

Please have a look at the database tables DDDDL*. But you will have to read it recursively. 

For a pure view there is the hierarchy view in ADT (Eclipse).

Hi Michael, Thanks for your response but when i checked the tables with DDDDL*, i did not see list of all the underlying views/tables for the consumption view i was looking for. Any other suggestion?

Hi. That is correct. You only see the directly underlying views or tables. To get the whole list you have to read recursively. If you are on a more recent S/4HANA System you could define a parent child dependency in a custom CDS view. This could be used to read all leaves of the tree. In the worst case you have circle dependencies.

Best regards

Hi Michael, after further analysis i see that i can use DDL Source field in table DDDDLSRC and then as you mentioned, i have to keep doing this recursively until i get to the base tables
