MVC (model view controller) framework for ABAP part 2

Reports with class

In MVC (model view controller) framework for ABAP part 1 you can find the “starter kit” for a framework you can use to create applications that are using dynpros and CFW controls that the framework is able to control. In this second part I will introduce only one further class that can be used for report programming. In my daily work, I am using this report very frequently as a template for new ones.

MVC (model view controller) framework for ABAP part 1

What program type?

This is a question I have often reflected on. When I create an OO based dialogue application, what kind of program should I use? Since the program has to manage at least one dynpro, we could choose between three types of program for our application:

• A module pool
• A function group
• A report

ABAP Runtime Analysis (SE30) – How to analyze ABAP program flow

The ABAP Runtime Analysis (transaction SE30) is the best starting point if you want to execute performance or flow analysis of your ABAP program. Unfortunately many people use ABAP Runtime Analysis only to look for performance bottlenecks and don’t know that ABAP Trace is the only tool with which you can trace the execution flow of an ABAP program at the statement level. This blog will show you how to use ABAP Trace of ABAP Runtime Analysis (SE30) to follow the flow logic of your ABAP program.

Hierarchies in CDS views

Why do we need Hierarchies?

The main purpose of a hierarchy in analytics is to aggregate facts and provide a high-level overview with the option to drill into the lower hierarchy branches and nodes. Facts are represented as CDS analytical views, which are identified by the analytical data category CUBE provided as CDS view annotation.

A hierarchy is usually not defined on the facts themselves but on some master data column that categorizes the facts. This master data entity, or any business entity that should be arranged in a hierarchy, is given by a CDS view of analytical data category DIMENSION.

News in ABAP Debugger Breakpoints and Watchpoints ,Statement Debugging

SAP NetWeaver 7.0 EHP2 brings an expanded set of breakpoint and watchpoint capabilities as well as a new higher-resolution statement debugging capability (of course in the New ABAP Debugger!).

This blog shows how to use these new features:

• The new types of breakpoint (on ABAP command, on Web Dynpro entities, on method of a class, on Simple Transformations…)
• The new types of watchpoints (on internal table, on ABAP objects and object attributes…)
• The new conditional breakpoints and watchpoints

Displaying Internal Tables in the Debugger in NetWeaver 7.0 EHP2

The New ABAP Debugger, introduced with NetWeaver 2004s, came with a Table tool for displaying the contents of internal tables.

With NetWeaver 7.0 EHP2 and with Netweaver 7.30, the Table tool has been re-worked and expanded to make it easier to use and more flexible – a truly comfortable tool for examining internal tables, no matter how large or complex they might be.

Create Fiori app using CDS with BOPF- For beginners Part 2

This blog is on continuation to  Part 1.

In this part we shall create the BOPF action and display the sale order scenario in the Fiori App using Smart Template.

For the BOPF action, go to BOPF Business Object ZDEMO_I_SALESORDER  from Tcode BOBX. Click on change mode. Under the Node Elements, traverse to node ZDEMO_I_SALESORDER and select Action element. Right Click on Action and Click “Create”.
