Fiori Elements List – Add and Implement Action Button

Recently, I worked on a requirement where we had to add an action button on Fiori Elements List Report. Looked at various options but nothing seems straightforward. UI5 Demo Kit suggests using UI5 Extensions which I wanted to avoid if I could. There are some annotations related to function import which looked promising but I couldn’t find any blog/help document on how to actually use them in CDS and implement in the OData service. Then I saw actions using BOPF, but this report which I was working didn’t have any business object attached to it.

Embedded CDS View exposure to Fiori

1. Introduction

As we are aware that in SAP S/4HANA system, most of the DDIC tables has been converted to CDS views or DDL SQL Views. SAP is trying to mold all the technical changes/ABAP using these CDS views.

Excel file (*.xlsx) Export/Import

In this Blog-post I’d like to give a few insights on how we process XLSX file by using latest ABAP, which might be quite different than in most other implementations, for example:ABAP and OLE or Excel with SAP – An Overview

By using CL_XLSX_DOCUMENT (available from 2008), it is easy to load file, workbook, sheets, rows and columns. A good example code can be found within class CL_EHFND_XLSX(available from 2014).

Using long string in function imports

Motivation

So I created a SEGW project in both the latest stack as well as in 740 (the latest SP though) to check whether I would be able to reproduce the issue.

I wasn’t able to do so but wanted to share in detail how it worked for me.

Convert images into PDF and Merge with an existing Adobe forms

It’s very common business case where we need to add an image (jpg/bmp etc.) in an adobe form. We can use Image Field UI and bind the required image. But how we can merge an image in existing forms in Adobe? Recently, one of community members asked such kind of scenario and possibilities. Their requirement was to attach the images saved in PO and display along with PO Output Form. If there is any image files (mostly in “.jpg”) saved at Purchase Order, these should be merged with PO Output form and send it back to vendor. So I explored this with following use cases:

Custom data selection for a Fiori list report application using DDIC Search help

In this blog you will see how a DDIC Search help can serve as a simple to use data source for a Fiori list report.

Why use a DDIC search help for a Fiori list report?

Search helps are well known and heavily used to find and select SAP objects. They are part of the DDIC development objects and select data either directly DDIC-table based or code based via an ABAP interface.

Maintaining the One-to-Many (m = CN) cardinality between the Check table & Foreign Key table and using the combined key

Introduction: In this article we are going to learn how to provide the one to many ( m = CN ) cardinality between the check table and foreign key tables. one to many carnality can be selected upon our requirement while providing the foreign key relationship from key fields of foreign key table to check table key fields . One to many ( m = CN) cardinality refers there many be many matching records in the foreign key table for each record of the check table.

Dual Maintenance Management

Dual Transport Management has been, is and will continue to be an integral part of any SAP Upgrade project. Its mostly done manually and leaves everything to the manual verification of dual maintenance of transports in both the upgraded and non-upgraded system in spreadsheets. This blog will explain how we can automate this process and also be able to track and maintain the mapping of equivalent transports between two equivalent SAP systems.
