SAP BTP ABAP Environment – Pre-Upgrade Option for Release 2108

Overview

Providing a significant number of new features is an important goal of release upgrades to deliver innovations to our customers and partners.

An upgrade is intended as a “no event” for customers and partners. For example, only compatible changes of released objects (APIs) will be delivered. But we recommend performing a test of the custom-built productive apps in a test environment for the new release. The complexity of the technical dependencies between the custom-built apps and the underlying environment cannot be tested isolated, only including the ABAP environment on SAP side. Therefore, we offer you to upgrade selected systems 15 days in advance to test the applications prior to the planned standard-upgrade.

Exploring SAP Profitability and Performance Management’s Remote Function Adapter – External Function Type

SAP Profitability and Performance Management (abbreviated as “PaPM” in this blog further)  Remote Function Adapter (RFA) function provides automated communication capabilities to other application and systems. Remote Function Adapter comes with different function types to set-up communication and posting. These vary from:

◉ Posting of Finance AP, AR, GL entries

◉ Calling external R script procedure

◉ Calling HANA stored procedure

◉ Integration scenario with SAP SD for creation of Sales Order, Inquiry or Quotation

◉ Replicating CO Master Data

◉ And External Function for calling remote NetWeaver function or a Web service

Zchat – ABAP based instant messaging

As an external developer I’m involved in many projects. We usually connect to the client system using various combinations of Remote Desktop. For security reasons, the clipboard between Remote Desktop and the work computer is disabled. Also, we usually don’t have any Instant Messaging or even mail.

Lack of communication turns ordinary actions (copy, past, send) into a whole quest – you need to call, dictate the program name, line number, etc. This greatly slows down development and disturbs concentration.

I wrote a Web Service that works like a chat. The data is stored in the SAP system, the client part is stored in the web browser.

Parent child relationship in CDS data modeling for ABAP RESTful application programming model (RAP)

The ABAP RESTful application programming model (RAP) defines the architecture for efficient end-to-end development of intrinsically SAP HANA-optimized OData services (such as Fiori apps) in SAP Cloud Platform, ABAP Environment or Application Server ABAP.

Split STO delivery with fixed number of line items

When users deal with delivery orders with lots of items lines like greater than 25, it creates processing challenges resulting in long delays as the work must be performed by a single person and can’t be divided out. Then the requirement is split delivery at VL10B for STO when the numbers of delivery line items are greater than a specific number.

This question has been asked many times in the community like this one. Jelena’s answer is absolutely working, in this article just make it more clear how to achieve this by using VOFM.
