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.

Global Class and Method for Application Log

The goal of the object is to create the Global Class and Method for Application Log so that it can be reused where necessary in any RICEF object.

Application Log provides an infrastructure for collecting messages and exceptions in a log, saving, reading and deleting logs in the database and displaying them.

Run Business Process using postman

Now let execute the process and see if it’s running as expected.

Add Value to Your S/4 HANA Embedded Analytics Content with Material Hierarchy

Standard S/4 HANA Embedded Analytics content does not provide material hierarchy. The reason for that is that material hierarchy is configured as per business requirements and is unique for each client. Still you can benefit from material hierarchy in S/4 HANA Embedded Analytics, for example, drill-down along the hierarchy or selecting data using hierarchy. In my blog I will explain how to fill this gap and create material hierarchy.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Extensibility – Engraving sample scenario – Technical Setup – Process enablement Part-5

Process enablement

Chapter “Technical Setup” set the basis and technical foundation to use our customized process.

In this chapter I describe additional steps that are required to make our custom fields visible on the UI

Sending push notifications from SAP to Mobile device using Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM)

Notifications on our mobile device is something we experience on a daily basis from various mobile apps we use for News, Entertainment, Shopping, Health etc. Notifications has tremendous value to deliver in the enterprise context as they can deliver the right information at the right time to the right person. If used effectively they can be used as a tool to improve employee productivity, speeding up business processes, improving the quality of services and many more benefits.

Decoration Day – Questioning The Decorator Pattern

There are design pattern. And there are design pattern. There are some I use really often because they are clear to me in use and technique, like the singleton or the factory pattern, the observer and some others. The decorator pattern for some reasons is very hard for me to understand. I learned about it in a workshop years ago. But over the years there was no need for me to use it and therefor no need to understand it. I try to change this for some weeks now…

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Extensibility – Engraving sample scenario – Technical Setup – Custom analytics Part-4

This blog is part of a blog series focusing on SAP S/4HANA Extensibility. It is one of 5 blog posts taking care of the technical setup of extensibility with a focus on In-App Extensibility.

Custom Analytics

In order to get some analytical insights about which engravings have been ordered in which month i will now setup some custom analytics.

First Thoughts about Architecture of ABAP Cloud Applications

 In this blog entry, I would like to discuss some aspects.

Why ABAP Cloud Environment Matters

You are able to run existing ABAP applications in ABAP Cloud Environment if you manage to decouple them from the core systems. This helps you to keep the core systems clean since you reduce the amount of custom code in those systems. Moreover, you can use it to simplify your landscape and let SAP do the provisioning of the system. Another obvious advantage is that you get a more flexible release cycle for your application.

Execute URL dynamically by a Button click event using Interactive features of Adobe Forms

Many a times, we have some business requirements where we would like to have editable form or buttons/check boxes in the form which user can click and desired action should be executed. Sometimes we also would like to interact with SAP using actions performed by interactive forms.

Role of BTE process RWBAPI01 in BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST

Introduction

BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST is use for creating/posting accounting document for AP, AR and GL documents. This is an alternate solution in place of BDC which is used for posting documents through transactions like FB01 and FBB1. This BAPI can take input from legacy system and convert data into accounting document.

Dynamic table data read and odata binding

Sometimes in our requirement we need to read data dynamically based on some condition, like columns, table/ internal table name may changes as per user input. During one such requirement we need replicate se16 like transaction for Fiori application. Here we need to show table and table data based on the table name given in input field.
