RFC creation using AMDP

I will explain how to create an RFC, using AMDP, with a practical example, from the analysis of the standard tables, the creation of the structure and type of output table, the creation of the RFC, the AMDP and finally the tests

Analysis of the Table to consult.

We begin by identifying the tables and fields we need for the RFC. For this we enter the se11, se11n, se16 or se16n to consult the columns of the tables:

ABAP code in ECATT scripts

In this blog let’s see how to utilize ABAP/ENDABAP statement in the ECATT script.

We use ABAP/ENDABAP in ECATT scripts when we need to include ABAP code to perform validations like in the case below to check if a given material has valid Production Order.

It can also be used to fetch the data from Database and utilize as a parameter in the ECATT script.

We can either consider existing ECATT script or a new script.

SAPUI5 application with ABAP OData Service as backend

Let us start with the second use case where we will develop a SAPUI5 application with back-end as ABAP.

Since this is not a static application, you have to develop the SAPUI5 application as Node-js app which acts like an app router and as well as SAPUI5 application

Getting an image from material master data and adding it into an adobe form

This post shows how to get an attachment, in this case an image, linked to a material that was uploaded to the material master data through Generic Object Services (or was archived), and add it on an adobe form.

The business object for Material is BUS1001006.

MyInbox UI generation using CDS views and UI.facet annotation

Intro

Many of you probably may have observed that the MyInbox has an option to generate the UI based on the annotations but the information you may get from the help or online(questions&blogs) is very limited.

Extending Fiori Apps in S/4HANA using the Adaption Transport Organizer

During one of my recent S/4HANA implementations I had to extend a standard SAP Fiori App (Manage Supplier Quotations) with an additional input field. Never ever had I thought this could be so easy!

During this blog I’ll walk you through:

◈ Setting up the Adaption Transport Organizer (ATO)
◈ Extending a standard Fiori App (Manage Supplier Quotations)

Locking the GUI apps from the Fiori/UI5 has never been so easier (via the Durable Locks for ABAP programming model for Fiori)

This blog is about understanding how the durable locks works in the new ABAP programming model for Fiori in creating the pessimistic locking for the Fiori apps which will also lock the GUI application.

I’ve seen people (including myself) struggling to answer the customers when they talk about pessimistic locking in Fiori apps as SAP officially given only ETAG functionality is optimistic based locking. But not anymore thanks to the durable locks which will create pessimistic locking for Fiori and GUI apps together at a time.

How To Use eCATT Script via HTTP Request

eCATT is a very powerful tool for test automation in the context of SAP. In this blog I describe how to call eCATT scripts via HTTP request. This approach is very similar to another with PowerShell, which I described in another blog. The difference is here that you don’t need an additional library and therewith is it possible to call eCATT scripts nearly from every tool.
