We all need to make decisions constantly.

So do our applications!

What should I wear?

What tasks should I work on?

What should I watch on TV?

Who should I call?

From missed opportunities…

Traditional approach

Waterfall process with release cycles: specification, design, code

Same change management for all objects (DB, UI, decision logic) High costs also for small changes

Questions

How long will it take to get a requirement implemented when the cut-off date has passed?

Will there be another project for my requirements in the future?

What will the costs of the project be and who will have to pay them?

What will happen if the implemented decisions are outdated?

Exercises

In the exercises we want to

Set up to a connection to a managed system and create asample application (Exercise 1)

– that derives the price of some product (Exercise 2),

– adds shipping costs of 5%, but at least 2$, if the price is under$100 (Exercise 3)

– and sends a notification mail if a product is not found in the pricelist (Exercise 3)

Then we will test the application (Exercise 4) Before we deploy it to the managed system (Exercise 5)

and implement the call of the decision service in the backend(Exercise 6)

Finally, we will perform a delta deployment and set the rulesvalidity to a future date (Exercise 7)

Deploy the decision service into your managed system

• Select the managed system you created in Exercise 1

• Make a rest deployment and then deploy the decision service

Execute your decision service in the managed system

Implement an ABAP report that calls the before deployed decision Service

That exercise is intended for people who are familiar with ABAP programming


8/11/2019 CD160.pdf



Deploy the decision service into your

managed system

• Navigate from the BRFplus Workbench directly to

the Decision Service Manager. Click in the toolbaron Workbench Open Decision Service Manager

or enter the transaction DSM in the SAP Backendsystem. The DSM Workbench will now open in anew browser session

• Select the managed system you created in Exercise1 and on the Deployment tab, choose theDeployment Test button


8/11/2019 CD160.pdf



• Select the BRFplus function you created in Exercise 2. Enter the name of your functionfor example Product* and choose the Search button

• Mark your function and choose Run Test . The DSM will now check wether your function

can be deployed to the managed system• After the test deployment has been performed , the message Deployment test was

successful, do you want to deploy now? will appear. Choose Yes to start the deployment


8/11/2019 CD160.pdf



• In the dialog box, please enter some

form of documentation for example Initial

Product Price • Select Intermediate Deployment

as the activation time and click on Deploy

In the upper part of the screen ,two success messages are displayed. On theDeployment tab, you will now see that your function has been deploy to the managedsystem. Click in the column Documentation and check the entries

Congratulations! You have deployed your f irst decision service into a managed system. Inthe next step, we will execute your decision service in the managed system


8/11/2019 CD160.pdf



Execute your decision service in the managed system

• Go to the Deployment tab

• Select the decision service, for example Product Price. The BRFplus

Workbench will open

• Choose Create Code Template

• Deselect the Show Comments checkbox

• Choose Apply

• Copy the text


8/11/2019 CD160.pdf



• Switch to the SAP GUI

• Call the ABAP Editor (transaction SE38)

• Create a local report with the following name ‘ZZ_CALL_TECHED_EX_CD160 ’

• Paste the copied text into the report• Insert the variable ‘lv_price’ of type if_fdt_types=>element_amount to the Data-

Statement

• Replace the Text ‘[INSERT CONTEXT VALUE HERE OR DELETE THE LINE].’ with one of the products


8/11/2019 CD160.pdf



• At the end of the report include the following:

• Save, Activate and Run the Report

• LO_PROCESSOR will find the deployed code of the decision service and execute it

• The result should be the same as in the simulation in Exercise 5

Exercise 7Change Rules in the Decision Service and make a Delta Deployment

8/11/2019 CD160.pdf



Change the rules in the DSM System

• Go to the decision table PRODUCT_PRICES and adjust the price

• Simulate the function

• Execute the report you created in Exercise 6 again. What do think willhappen?

Perform a delta deployment

• Deploy the decision service to the managed system as future deployment(current time + 5 minutes)

• Execute the Report created in Exercise 6.

• Wait 5 minutes and run the report again


8/11/2019 CD160.pdf



Change the rules in the DSM System

• Click on Open BRFplus Workbench in the Decision Service Manager

• The BRFplus Workbench appears in a new browser window. Choose Search and enter

the name of the application you created in Exercise 1. Choose Application as ObjectType. Choose Search. On the left side ,in the navigation area, the application youcreated is displayed

• Expand the repository tree and navigate to Expression Decision Table ProductPrice

• Change the price for all products

• Activate the decision table


8/11/2019 CD160.pdf



• In the repository tree, go to your function

• Choose Simulation and simulate the function as explained in Exercise 5. Select Remote(Current Version) for the simulation mode. Select the managed system you created in

Exercise 1 and choose continue• Enter a product whose price you change. The price should now be calculated based on

your change

• Go to the SAP GUI and navigate to the report you created in Exercise 6 and execute it.(Make sure the product is the same as in your simulation).

• The prices calculated in the simulation and by the report are different. Since we onlychanged the prices in the DSM system, the managed system will not be affected bythose changes. So it would be possible to test all changes in the rules before deployingthem to the productive environment

• In the next step we will perform a delta deployment and distribute the new decisionservice to the managed system


8/11/2019 CD160.pdf



Perform a delta deployment

• Call transaction DSM from SAP GUI

• Select the managed system you created in Exercise 1 and click ion the Deployment tab,

choose Deploy button• Select the BRFplus function you created in Exercise 2. Enter the name of your function

for example Price* and choose Search
