ABAP with Coffee and Chain of Responsibility(CoR) OO Pattern

Let me ask you, what do you think about the flow diagram below?

Left most image is often called “spaghetti wiring mess” , second one is an “organized and labelled wiring” and last two are the SAP icons for ‘Code’ and ‘Coffee’ respectively. Obviously I am at the last stage in this flow ! So let me explain a little bit about ‘Code’ while having this ‘Coffee’.

Using Texts in Fiori Apps

Introduction

Texts describe objects in SAP. When texts are language dependent they are are stored in a separate table from the object itself. An example of this would be the Dimension Texts table T006T which gives a text per language for the dimension objects in table T006D.

When the texts are language independent they are usually stored in the same table as the object they describe. For example t001W defines plants along with their name.

How to create ABAP proxies using eclipse

ADT in Eclipse has been a boon for us developers. Everything is so easy to develop in perspectives of ease of accessing the development objects when you don’t have to type different tcodes for different types of objects. One such important object type is proxy. Service consumers or service provider proxies are fairly common in ABAP landscape where we use SAP PI/PO to connect with other third parties. In traditional development environment we would use tcode SPROXY to find the relevant service in Enterprise Service Browser.

Implementation of SAP Odata V4

In SAP terms, Odata a platform/framework that can be used to create SAP objects or services that can be consumed from outside of SAP box to read or write data. A service can be called an API that SAP provides to their consumers.
