How to use BW Infoobject hierarchy in ABAP CDS views

Introduction

◈ Hierarchies could be loaded or maintained manually in BW embedded in S/4HANA system.

◈ Considered approach is particularly relevant in case in S/4HANA there is embedded planning solution and you need to reuse existing hierarchy in analytical reports based on ABAP CDS views.

ABAP CDS Consumption View Features Ultimate Test: Part 3

In first part and second part of my blog I put ABAP CDS Consumption View to test and fulfilled some of most typical BW Query requirements. In third part of my blog I will challenge ABAP CDS Consumption View one more time. This time demonstrating time dependent dimensions / hierarchies and language dependent texts.

ABAP CDS Consumption View Features Ultimate Test: Part 2

In first part of my blog I put ABAP CDS Consumption View to test and fulfilled some of most typical BW Query requirements. In second part of my blog I will challenge ABAP CDS Consumption View even more. This time dynamically setting variable values (similar to BW OLAP Variable user-exit functionality).

ABAP CDS Consumption View Features Ultimate Test: Part 1

ABAP CDS Consumption Views are exposed as BW Queries and can be consumed by S/4 HANA Query Browser and BI Clients like Analysis for Office and Design Studio. With my BW background I was curious to put ABAP CDS Consumption Views to test and fulfill some of the typical BW Query requirements like:

S/4HANA Conversion – Error in display material Document by MIGO transaction

If the environment you are migrating from ECC to S / 4HANA has additional fields in the CI_COBL (coding block) include, you most likely have an error in the MIGO transaction. There are two paths to fix this error. One way would be to undo all CI_COBL configuration, but this is not always possible either because you still need the field in the S / 4 environment, or because it is more complex to undo the configuration.

Hyperlink in Object Documentation

In this blog, I would like to share the possible solutions that could be used to achieve the desired result.

Requirement:

Smoketesting host-print (“L”) from NetWeaver laptop edition

We assume you are running an SAP NetWeaver AS Abap Developer Edition instance as a guest VM on your local machine.

Also we assume that the SAP instance is up and running, and that your host computer (the one running your hypervisor for the guest VM) is capable of sending stuff to a printer located on your local network.

Integrating Radiation Detection System to SAP

Weighbridges are connected to the radiation detector panels through which a vehicle passes and then reaches the weighbridge. The corresponding radiation vales are saved in the radiation detection system.

The purpose of this blog is to explain how this integration picks the radiation values automatically in SAP Screen of Scrap Receiving System (SRS – A custom built application in SAP) and to eliminate the need of manual entry, thereby saving time and eliminating manual entry error.

How to Control Native Android Apps with ABAP

Business processes are not longer realized exclusively in the SAP GUI for Windows only. More and more, steps are also being taken on other UIs on other devices.

Jump-start your report writing using a template (AdT / Eclipse)

You know how the say the best admins, developers (…) are the lazy ones – why? Because the automate everything that makes sense to automate: let repetitive tasks be done by some kind of automation, e.g. a script:

Once you have that, you’re way faster, you don’t make typing errors, and you script defines a kind of standard/best practice you can rely on, without having to think about it.
Of course, your script, template or whatever can and should improve if you gain new knowledge.

ABAP Test Double Framework – An Introduction

Dependent objects which can’t be controlled makes writing unit tests hard or even impossible. In unit test environments dependent objects should be replaced with test doubles. They imitate the behavior of the real objects. The graphic below illustrates this idea.

Technical comparison between S4CRM and C4C

As I have been once working as a developer in S/4HANA for Customer Management (S4CRM) and Cloud for Customer(C4C) development team, in this blog I will give some brief introduction regarding the technical difference between these two products.
