Fiori PO Approver app Forward button customization from ECC backend

The first part of customization comes on the Forward Button. As per the approval matrix the approvers were maintained in the PPOME structure.

Managing Updates to abapGit in Shared Development Systems

If you are using abapGit as a tool to facilitate your development processes you at some point have to decide on an update strategy for abapGit itself. Most likely you are only updating abapGit when a feature or bug fix is released that you need or file diffs are displayed that are related to format changes that you want to get rid off. (Or you feel guilty not having updated for a while…) This is a bit of a shame as new features are added all the time and keeping abapGit up-to-date from a technical perspective is extremely easy. There are no notes to implement, no support packages to import, no migrations to do and no dependencies to worry about. Issues rather arise because of processes and communication between teams regarding ongoing developments when you are sharing systems.

New Debugger options

Introduction

The New Debugger is a tool that helps technical consultants execute the program line by line or module by module. It stops the program to check the logic, identify errors, analyze the issue, understand the concept, etc. It has many more options compared to the old debugger. We will see some of the uncommon features that are helpful to the developers and functional consultants in their analysis.

If you want to analyze the program’s data flow, then you need to debug the program. To enable or start the debugger, enter “/h” or “/H” in the command area of SAP.

Delta loading in SAP Datasphere based on the ABAP CDS view

In applications where there is a high volume of data creation, changes, and deletion happens, such as sales orders, it is crucial for the application to have a mechanism that provides delta records and for the extractor that needs to provide delta loading. This means that the application should be able to identify and extract only the new, modified or deleted data, ensuring efficient and accurate data loading.

In some of the cases nightly full uploads are not what we exactly want, as time windows for data extractions are limited. Solution for that is coming with ODP framework.
