Proposal search for Standard field in SAP

In this blog we are going to learn about how to enable ‘Proposal search help for standard field’ which is similar to Google search suggestions when you start typing words in search box.

Yes! you heard me right, it is possible to provide proposal search help in standard screen fields even though Search help is not assigned to field in Screen attributes and it is possible in ABAP 7.4 and higher.

Multiple Shades of ABAP!!!

Yes, you heard it right shades or different versions of ABAP. With changing deployment options and the way, we can enhance business solutions in addition to the classical extensibility, leads to different versions of ABAP currently.

Data Migration: Using a Single program to Upload any database table

Introduction:

We often come across situations where we would like to directly upload data in the custom database tables (Transparent tables) which we create. The main intention of such kind of a direct update is primarily based on the fact that these tables only hold relevant data and there are no complex validations which needs to be taken care during the upload process.

Modularizing CDS Annotations

You use CDS annotations to enrich your data model with metadata. In some cases, this can reduce readability and make it hard to maintain your data definitions. To improve this situation, metadata extensions have been introduced.

Selection Screen Variants – Part II

In my previous blog we discussed about types of variants, protection of variants and tables storing variant values and directory.

This blog will cover the details about the variant attributes and their usage.

Selection Screen Variants – Part I

What are variants?

In SAP ABAP reports have a mechanism for entering values for database selection or for performing different calculations through SELECTION SCREENS.

Custom Data from FI-CA to RAR (Part I – Overview)

Introduction

The purpose of this two part blog is to describe a solution that allows custom values to be populated on the provider contract and then transferred to SAP Revenue Accounting.  The custom values can be populated using both the provider contract create transaction and the standard creation BAPI.  The standard provider contract transactions are enhanced using the Business Data Toolset (BDT).  Using event 8205, the custom values are transferred to Revenue Accounting as both main and condition items.

zmockup_loader and unit tests with interface stubbing

This article describes our experience of using mockup loader together with data accessor pattern approach.

Data accessor pattern overview

The code that needs to access DB inside is a bit complex to unit-test. One of the approaches to do this (if well designed from the beginning) is so called data accessor pattern.

SMW0 – “RAISE_EXCEPTION” Dump Solution Of The Error Received When Deleting An Object

In the “SMW0” transaction code, I encountered an error deleting an object. I solved this error by debugging. I wanted to share this solution with you.

The error I encountered:

Category                          : ABAP programming error
Runtime Errors                : RAISE_EXCEPTION
ABAP Program               : SAPMWWW0
Application Component  : BC-CI-WEBR

ABAP Dumps

Dumps happen when an ABAP program runs and something goes wrong that cannot be handled by the program. Dumps that happen in the customer namespace ranges (i.e. own-developed code), can usually be fixed by the programmer. Dumps that happen in SAP standard code probably need a fix from SAP.

Quick/Easier way to find User Exits and BAPI’s for any T-Code

Introduction:

This blog helps any Functional / Technical consultants for getting the list of User Exits and related BAPI to a given t-code by easier/quicker way.

Obtainable:

Can be achieved through se93 / direct t-code help –> status –> program name and package.. further CMOD – lookup providing package and getting the list.  or it can be obtained through SPRO drill down.

Step By Step Process To Unlocking The Users Password Using Gateway Service(OData) When ever it is locked

In this blog I want to explain about how to unlock the users password when it is locked using OData and Resetting the users password by giving temporary password which is been sending through mail.

Step 1. Go to t-code SEGW to create service.

Data filtration options and performance analysis in ABAP CDS views

Introduction

There currently three main ways of filtering data:

1. Parameters in all level of ABAP CDS views
2. Variables in consumption level ABAP CDS views
3. Authorisations with DCL views

Core Data Services in ABAP

Core Data services (CDS) are domain specific languages (DSL) and services for defining and consuming semantically rich data models in SAP HANA. They are integral part of SAP HANA, and can be leveraged in the ABAP stack.

RFC creation using AMDP

I will explain how to create an RFC, using AMDP, with a practical example, from the analysis of the standard tables, the creation of the structure and type of output table, the creation of the RFC, the AMDP and finally the tests

Analysis of the Table to consult.

We begin by identifying the tables and fields we need for the RFC. For this we enter the se11, se11n, se16 or se16n to consult the columns of the tables:

Creating Custom Output Type for Sales Scheduling Agreement in BRF+

Introduction

Business Rules Framework Plus (BRF+) is a Business rules System which is developed in ABAP by SAP. It is a part of SAP NetWeaver 7.0 EHP2 and hence requires no additional SAP License. It provides seamless user experience with features like simulation, transport, XML export or import.

Expose CDS Views as OData Service

There are 3 different ways you can expose CDS views as OData service:

1. Import DDIC structure using SEGW Netweaver Gateway service builder transaction.
2. Reference Data Source using SEGW Netweaver Gateway service builder transaction.
3. Using Generic Annotations. (@Odata.publish:true)
