How To Switch Between ABAP Editor’s Insert (INS) And Overwrite (OVR) Modes.

Personally, I am not a fan of the overwrite mode in text editors and believe it is a relic from the past that has found its way into modern editors. In command line text editors (big time vim fan here), OVR mode can be very useful and efficient but It is hard for me to fathom the use of OVR mode in modern text editors. I believe most of my readers will also share the same sentiment.

There are very easy methods of switching between the two modes (INS and OVR) to match your preference but some users will face an uphill battle in changing between these modes due to hardware and software constraints. In this tutorial I will walk you through a method that will reliably afford you the ability to make this switch in a no frills style.

RSA Encryption in ABAP

Recently I stumbled across a lot of unanswered questions about RSA encryption. Here I will try to provides some examples how to use public/private key encryption in ABAP. All the overhead like certificates, trust, revocation and key generation will not be touched here. The keys will be generated with openssl.

Example 1 – Using own RSA implementation  in ABAP.

RSA encryption is quite simple. All you need is integer arithmetic – mainly modular exponentiation. The only problem is, the integers involved are longer than ABAP and most other languages can handle by default. 

Getting acquainted with automating ABAP unit testing – Part 4

Part 3 – Continue the process of writing the first unit test

To recap from the preceding blog, we applied the “for testing” clause to the one and only unit test method defined for the local class named tester, resulting in that empty method being invoked by the test runner of the ABAP Unit Testing Framework. Here is the source code as we left it in the previous blog:

To recap from the preceding blog, we changed our example program to include a virtually empty unit test class. Here is the source code as we left it in the previous blog:

How to Conduct Automatic Quality Check of ABAP Code in SAP S/4HANA and SAP ECC?

Introduction

SAP ABAP Quality Check for Coding. Every Company does It but still there are numerous Issues that Is not filtered and causes chaos In SAP Production System. There are some basic steps that a Technical Consultant needs to follow but since we are all Humans, we can make mistakes. On an average every Company spends at least 5-10 hours in resolving Quality Issues that should have been caught in the normal quality check process. SAP Is smart enough to do Its own quality check with the help of customized specification from different customers based on their requirements and guidelines.

Now with the current trend of reduce workforce the QA Code Team Is non-existant. ABAP Code Quality check still Is very Important to make sure erroneous code Is never moved to the Production Environment.

Getting acquainted with automating ABAP unit testing – Part 2

Part 1 – Initiating the execution of automated ABAP unit tests

To recap from the preceding blog, we created a program having no object-oriented statements, then initiated the execution of its non-existent automated unit tests, either through ABAP Editor menu path Program > Execute > Unit Tests or by pressing keyboard combination Ctrl+Shift+F10, and received the warning message indicating there are no automated unit tests for it. Here is the source code as we left it in the previous blog:

Getting acquainted with automating ABAP unit testing – Part 1

Are you still manually unit testing your ABAP programs? Are you bothered by the exorbitant amount of time and effort required to complete those tests? Do you dread the drudgery associated with manually preparing those tests for execution? Is the pain and agony you endure while executing those tests about the same as it was the last time you underwent this tedious process? Does this whole experience leave you exhausted once you have succeeded in running all those manual unit tests?

If you answered “Yes” to any of those questions, then perhaps you are willing to consider an alternative, one that can simplify the process, significantly reduce the time it takes to complete it and eliminate virtually all of the associated misery: automating the unit testing of ABAP programs.

It is my guess that there is a large segment of ABAP programmers who remain unaware that automated unit testing is possible with ABAP. Even among those who are aware of it but still do not use it, many of them are under the mistaken impression that it is capable only of testing ABAP code written using the object-oriented programming model. This series of blogs is intended to acquaint you with the process of creating automated unit tests for ABAP programs, particularly for those programs containing not a shred of object-oriented code.

SAP Multichannel Foundation for Utilities and Public Sector(MCF) enhancement using BAdI Implementation

The purpose of this article is to explain the developers how standard MCF service(ERP_ISU_UMC) can be utilized to incorporate the custom requirements.

SAP NetWeaver Gateway Service model extensibility can be achieved on different levels :

1. OData entity structure extension(Using append structure to add custom fields)

2. OData entity logic extension(for example , adding additional validations)

3. Addition of new OData entities
