Refactoring with sensing variables

In this blog-post i want to show how to refactor ABAP source-code using sensing variables.

Sensing variables

Memory wasted by spring boot application

One of the widely wasted resources in the world today is: Memory. Due to inefficient programming, surprising (sometimes ‘shocking’) amount of memory is wasted. We see this pattern repeated in several enterprise applications. To prove this case, we conducted a small study. We analyzed the famous spring boot pet clinic application to see how much memory it is wasting. This application has been designed by the community to show how the spring application framework can be used to build simple but powerful database-oriented applications.

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.

Smartform folders: change their sequence at runtime

On a customer project, we were asked to add some flexibility to the display of customer “Factsheets”: ability to suppress some sections, and possibility to change sequence of the displayed ones.

A “Factsheet” is a SAP SmartForm that provides in PDF format a customer overview of various data, including sales, marketing, service and logistics data. Factsheet is requested from a Fiori app, and is provided either online or by e-mail.
