Process analytics provide analytics capability to enable master data specialists to get real-time insights into change request processes, monitor open and completed change requests, identify and fix process gaps and errors.
CDS views are used to retrieve the data and display the information in intuitive ways. Data is brought from the master data tables and CDs views are created. Those views will be used to create analytical report apps in Fiori or can be consumed on the SAP analytics cloud.
Configuration Steps
- Generate the basic CDS views for each data model.
- Configure and then generate custom analytical views with the entities/attributes desired for the analytical report. For each view that is created, SAP generates an OData service to create the Fiori/analytics cloud report.
- Configure analytics report.
- Configure a KPI/ALV report to display the information in a UI5 application, including drill down.
If changes are made to the data model, views should be regenerated.
These steps can be completed in RDG. From the home screen, choose the Process Analytics tile.
The first panel lists all the data models available in the system. Each data model will show the status of the view, whether Generated, Not Generated, or To be regenerated. In the second panel, there is a button to generate the data model view for the data model selected. Select from either Process or Change Analytical views. If a view is selected, the details will be displayed in the third panel, and can be edited, generated, or report published.
If a data model view or analytical view is generated, this process can take several minutes to complete. Refresh the screen to see the updated status.

- From the second panel, click +
- Provide the required details for the view. Save. After Save, click Generate. Generation may take several minutes.
