Schema Notation (CSN) is a powerful and flexible format used to represent the structure and metadata of data models in SAP’s Cloud Application Programming (CAP) model. CSN files are JSON-based and provide a comprehensive way to describe entities, relationships, and other aspects of a data model. This notation is particularly useful for reporting developers working with SAP IM (Incentive Management) solutions, as it facilitates the integration and analysis of complex data structures.
Why CSN is ImportantCSN files serve as a bridge between the design-time and runtime environments. They allow developers to define their data models in a human-readable format, which can then be easily transformed into various runtime artifacts. This capability is crucial for embedded analytics, where real-time data insights are necessary for making informed business decisions.
Benefits of Using CSN for Embedded Analytics (SAC)Consistency and Accuracy: CSN ensures that the data model definitions are consistent across different environments. This consistency is vital for accurate data analysis and reporting.
Ease of Integration: CSN files can be easily integrated with various SAP tools and services, making it simpler to embed analytics into SAP
