What is Cadaxo Managed Data Services?
Cadaxo MDS is a Fiori suite of tools designed to streamline the management and visualization of development objects in SAP S/4HANA®. On Frontend it contains three Fiori Apps:
- Dashboard: Provides an overview of SAP objects and custom developments across the system, offering clear displays for quick access to essential information.
- List Report (Search App): Features a user-friendly interface with integrated filter options, allowing users to search for specific CDS views and access detailed information, including descriptions, fields, annotations, and parameters.
- Graph App: Enables graphical analysis of relationships between CDS views and other objects, facilitating a deeper understanding of complex data structures.
Additionally, Cadaxo MDS includes an API and OData Service
Why Open Source?
By open-sourcing MDS, we aim to:
- Encourage Community Collaboration: Invite developers worldwide to contribute, share insights, and enhance the toolset collectively.
- Promote Transparency and Flexibility: Allow users to customize and adapt MDS to their specific needs, fostering innovation and efficiency.
- Accelerate Development: Leverage the collective expertise of the community to rapidly evolve and improve MDS functionalities.
