For more details, please refer to the blog.
To deploy Wrapper Views to the HANA DB, please complete the following steps:
2. Next, select the Multi-Target Application.
3. Enter the Project Name
4. Choose Finish
5. Next, create a new HANA Database Module in the project.
6. Enter the Module Name.
7. Choose Next.
8. Enter the Namespace (optional) and Schema Name (optional).
9. Choose Finish.
Note: If the views are generated from Wrapper View generator, please leave Namespace and Schema as blank.
Result: The following folder structure will be generated.
10. To create a config folder cfg, right click on HDI folder and select a new Folder.
11. Like with the src folder, create a grants and synonyms folder under the cfg folder.
12. Create a grants file (.hdbgrants) with the User-Provided service and the required roles.
13. Put it in the grants folder.
Sample grants file: Here, the role generated for the schema should be entered under the section roles.
14. Next, create sub folders CDS and Synonyms in the src folder.
15. Position the downloaded files as shown below:
Here is an example scenario using I_CUSTOMER:
16. In the synonym config file (with extension .hdbsynonymconfig), provide the configure as << User-Provided Services>> /schema.

23. Copy the .hdiconfig folder from the src folder and paste it in the cfg folder.
24. Paste it in the cfg.
25. Right click on the HANA Database module (HDI) and build the project.
Result: Once the build has successfully completed, the HDI will be created and the HANA CDS view for I_CUSTOMER will be created.
