S4D430 Data Modeling in ABAP Dictionary and ABAP Core Data Services

S4D430 Data Modeling in ABAP Dictionary and ABAP Core Data Services develops the practical capability to model persistent and semantic data using ABAP Dictionary objects, CDS views, associations, annotations, and access controls. The course connects SAP concepts with controlled execution, evidence-based decisions, and responsibilities that can be reviewed after implementation.

Applied work follows an ABAP development team modernizing reusable data models for transactional applications, analytical consumption, and secure service exposure. Learners create ABAP Dictionary data model workbook, CDS entity and association evidence pack, CDS semantics and authorization register, data model performance and release handover plan. Scenario testing addresses realistic conditions including a table activates but uses data types inconsistent with the approved business semantics; an association multiplies records because its cardinality does not match the underlying relationship; a published view exposes restricted measures because its access control is not assigned; an extension changes field behavior for an existing consumer after transport.

By completion, participants can apply the relevant SAP processes and configuration, explain observed results, correct supported exceptions, and hand over monitored controls that sustain maintainable ABAP data models.

What You Will Learn

• Explain domains and data elements and connect it to dependable maintainable ABAP data models decisions.
• Configure transparent tables for controlled maintainable ABAP data models across approved business scenarios.
• Execute CDS view entities while preserving reviewable statuses, approvals, and evidence.
• Validate associations and path expressions against process, integration, access, and data expectations.
• Diagnose metadata annotations when SAP behavior diverges from the approved operating design.
• Resolve analytical query semantics exceptions through correction, retesting, and documented ownership.
• Interpret SQL performance analysis results to prioritize risks and practical improvement actions.
• Prepare CDS extensions handover records with monitoring triggers and accountable follow-up.
