• Key Concepts: 
  CDS complexity metrics is a feature of the ABAP Dictionary in SAP that allows users to measure the complexity of their CDS views. It provides a score for each view, which can be used to identify and address any potential performance issues. The score is based on the number of joins, tables, and fields used in the view, as well as other factors such as the number of parameters and the complexity of the WHERE clause.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use CDS complexity metrics, open the ABAP Dictionary and select the CDS view you want to measure. Then click on “Complexity Metrics” in the menu bar. This will open a window with a score for each view, as well as a breakdown of the factors that contribute to the score. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using CDS complexity metrics, it is important to keep in mind that a higher score does not necessarily mean that the view is inefficient or slow. It simply means that there are more elements involved in creating the view, which could potentially lead to performance issues. Therefore, it is important to look at the individual components of the score and identify any areas where performance can be improved.
