SOLUTION SUMMARY · SHORT ANSWER

Change Analytics in SAP MDG on SAP S/4HANA 2021 onwards is configured in two parts: generate the backend CDS views for the MDG data model, then build either an embedded SAP Fiori/Smart Business analytics app or an SAP Analytics Cloud story on top of the generated analytics CDS view.

Change Analytics for SAP MDG on SAP S/4HANA 2021 onwards is a two-part setup: first generate the backend CDS views for the MDG data model, then configure the Change Analytics CDS view and consume it in either embedded Fiori/Smart Business or SAP Analytics Cloud. The guide uses MDG Material as the example domain and supports analysis of master-data attributes in change requests.

Process flow

  1. Generate Basic CDS Views in `MDGIMG` under `Process Analytics > Generate Basic CDS Views for Process Analytics`.
  2. Select the required data model and choose Generate.
  3. If the data model is extended later, regenerate the Basic CDS View before using new attributes.
  4. In `MDGIMG`, open `Process Analytics > Generate CDS Views for Change Analytics`.
  5. Create the analytics CDS configuration by choosing a name, the data model, and the main entity type.
  6. Choose the Analysis Target, local package, and optionally a read access logging domain if relevant.
  7. Select attributes for change analysis from Type 1 or Type 4 entities.
  8. Select additional attributes for report drilldown from Type 1 or Type 4 entities.
