One can use SAP Business Application Studio (BAS) for CDS development in SAP S/4. BAS is a modern, cloud-based development environment that supports ABAP development—including creating and maintaining CDS artifacts—through its ABAP environment extension.
Key Considerations:
- Modern Development Experience: BAS provides a flexible, web-based interface that's particularly well-suited for cloud-centric and hybrid development scenarios.
- CDS Support: With the appropriate extensions, BAS enables you to work on CDS views and other ABAP artifacts, much like the traditional Eclipse with ABAP Development Tools (ADT) does.
- Maturity & Feature Set: While Eclipse remains a mature and feature-rich environment (especially regarding debugging and some advanced integration capabilities), BAS is rapidly evolving. Depending on your project requirements and system configuration, BAS may offer a comparable experience for CDS development.
- System Compatibility: Before fully transitioning, verify that your specific SAP S/4HANA version and CDS requirements are fully supported in BAS. Consulting the latest SAP documentation and release notes is advisable.
In summary, BAS is a viable alternative to Eclipse for CDS development in SAP S/4, and many organizations are moving toward it as part of SAP's broader push for cloud-native, modern development tools.
