What are some of the prerequisites for using SAP S/4HANA ABAP CDS views for extraction into SAP BW/4HANA in an ODP context? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question.

A. An ODP source system with contest ODP_CDS must be created in SAP BW/4HANA

B. The ABAP CDS views must be defined with the appropriate data extraction annotations

C. THE ABAP CDS views must be released via program RODPS_OS_EXPOSE for BW extraction

D. An Operational Data Provisioning Framework must be configured in SAP BW/4HANA

Answer: A,B

Explanation:

An ODP source system with context ODP_CDS must be created in SAP BW/4HANA. This allows the system to communicate with the source system using the Operational Data Provisioning (ODP) framework and to extract data from ABAP CDS views.

The ABAP CDS views must be defined with the appropriate data extraction annotations. These annotations define the technical attributes of the data source and allow it to be consumed in the ODP context.

While exposing CDS views for ODP extraction is required, as of my knowledge cut-off in September 2021, this is done through CDS view annotations and not through the program RODPS_OS_EXPOSE.

The Operational Data Provisioning Framework is inherently part of SAP BW/4HANA and doesn’t need to be separately configured for using ABAP CDS views for extraction. However, the specific ODP context (ODP_CDS in this case) must be set up in the BW source system, as mentioned in option A.
