BOPF: Transient Fields in SADL

[Former Member]

Hello,
I’m currently developing a UI5 Application consuming BOPF-Data with the oData service based on SADL.
I wanted to combine data, which is stored in several BOs, into one BO that will be mapped to a single oData entity.
I tried adding transient Fields in an existing BO, but it seems they can’t be consumed by the oData service, as you see at the screenshot.

How can I resolve this problem?

Hi Stefan,

as far as I know there's no possibility to consume transient fields. The SADL provider directly accesses the BOs DB tables and it won't find the transient information there.

I can figure two options:

1. Join the primary source of information if the transient data is not transformed
2. If the transient information is calculated, I guess there's no other option than (redundantly) add a calculation in the SADL layer. (not that I know how)

Cheers,

Oliver
