ABAP Objects for Java Developers

By offering the possibility of programming applications in Java on SAP Web Application Server, SAP opened its programming environment to the Java community. Although it is possible to create purely Java-based applications from scratch, applications will most probably be based on mixed scenarios in the near future, where Java drives the front end and ABAP still dominates the back end. Therefore, Java programmers developing or extending applications on SAP Web Application Server will come into contact with ABAP sooner or later. This workshop will provide Java developers with an overview and the basic knowledge they need to work with ABAP. In the first part, we will show that almost all Java language concepts can be recognized in ABAP objects and that – besides learning another syntax – little effort is required in order to get started. In the second part, we will show where and why ABAP is different from Java. We will also emphasize the role of ABAP as a 4GL language tailor-made for business applications, and we will discuss its benefits compared with a


WebLearning Education Services language like Java.

Best of ABAP - The Ultimate ABAP 6.40 Features

Do you want to learn about exciting new productivity-boosting ABAP features while making your applications more robust? Do you also want to explore new application areas that ABAP programmers have not even dreamed of entering? Then don't miss these two information-packed hours, which give you the competitive edge in ABAP technology know-how.

Dynamic Testing Throughout the ABAP Development Lifecycle

The SAP Master Data Management component uses a tool called Content Integrator to perform the matching and mapping of objects. The matching is done by using matching rules, which are predelivered by SAP. In some cases, the predelivered matching rules are insufficient when trying to cover all the specific requirements of a customer. This lecture explains and demonstrates how users can enhance their existing matching functionality by adding new rules.

ABAP Shared Objects - Shared Memory Programming Made Easy ABAP Shared Objects offers a new, easy-to-use, robust programming model to store and access data in shared memory. We will see how arbitrary data structures can be instantiated directly in shared memory and how Shared Objects applications can reduce overall memory consumption, gaining a significant boost in performance.



ABAP - XML Mapping

How do I make my ABAP application speak XML? You're likely to encounter this question sooner or later in the context of system integration. In this session, you will learn about the tools for XML handling that are available to ABAP developers. Two complementary methods for mapping between XML documents and ABAP data structures are covered in detail: A universal approach based on the W3C standard XSLT, available since kernel 6.20 The dedicated, high-performance SAP mapping language "Simple Transformations," new with kernel 6.40 Exercises also allow participants to try out the specifics of ABAP-XML transformations and their execution from ABAP.

New ABAP Debugger and Memory Inspector

The new ABAP debugger that we will cover in this session is a newly designed Real 2 process debugger. It uses modern user interface techniques for maximum flexibility and user convenience. Moreover, nearly all the debugger tools you knew in the classic ABAP debugger have been revamped with new features: Inheritance hierarchy in the object view Codepage conversion for hex data in the detailed variable view An at-a-glance listing of all local variables of forms, function, and methods in the variable fast display In addition, you will discover the memory inspector – a new tool for inspecting the memory consumption of your application. This not only goes for long-running applications (where finding memory leaks can take you to the edge); it also generally makes it possible to display the memory usage of all used internal tables, strings, objects, and anonymous data objects. You can use the tool’s functionality either from inside the ABAP debugger or in a standalone transaction, feeding in explicitly created memory snapshots. Another outstanding feature of the memory inspector you will experience is the ability to compare two memory snapshots and get the information at a glance about what has changed. This workshop will also provide numerous demos and exercises that will show the full power of the new ABAP debugger and the memory inspector.

New Dynamic Test Tools for ABAP Developers

The use of professional developer tools makes it possible for professional software developers to deliver high-quality software. This session will familiarize you with two new tools in this category, which, henceforth, could play a significant role in your development procedures: ABAP Unit – introduces the concept of unit testing in ABAP: verifying the correct and intended behaviour of your program units by automated tests over the complete software lifecycle Activatable Assertions and Breakpoints – allows you to safely keep your program in its intended state and to comfortably detect and analyze unexpected malfunctions.
