SAP Interface Programming


Book Description

This book teaches the reader how to integrate third-party programs with SAP systems. It provides a comprehensive description of the communication protocols that are supported by SAP, which components of the SAP NetWeaver Application Server implement them, and how these components must be configured to enable communication with external systems. Extensive, programmed examples of how external clients and servers can be implemented in ABAP, C, Java, and C# support the purpose and objective of this book.




SAP interface programming with RFC and VBA


Book Description

The migration of data is an important process when introducing SAP systems or adopting new data from third-party systems. This takes up a large proportion of the time and thus also the costs in migration projects. This book gives you practical tips and examples of how you can use Microsoft products and the VBA programming language to quickly and inexpensively create useful migration tools yourself. It is not necessary to install the software on the SAP systems. This saves the time-consuming procedure of software implementation in SAP systems. Developments with ABAP code, complex documentation, tests in development, quality and productive systems are not necessary and save time and money. The batch input interface and the LSMW and CATT tools are no longer required. The book is suitable for administrators, technical consultants and developers in the SAP environment. Even power users from the specialist departments will be able to produc-tively extract or upload data from the SAP systems after reading it. The programs created according to my method can be used for all SAP modules. As an example, I use functionalities of the SAP module PS. By using ready-made SAP functions and BAPI's, functionalities such as creating and changing projects and WBS-Elements can be carried out.

Design Patterns in ABAP Objects


Book Description

Use design patterns to step up your object-oriented ABAP game, starting with MVC Want to create objects only when needed? Call objects only when required, minimizing runtime and memory costs? Reduce errors and effort by only coding an object once? Future-proof your code with a flexible design? Design patterns are the answer With this guide, you'll get practical examples for every design pattern that will have you writing readable, flexible, and reusable code in no time Creational Design Patterns Create objects with the abstract factor, builder, factory, lazy initialization, multiton, prototype, and singleton design patterns Structural Design Patterns Allow objects to interact and work together without interdependency with the adapter, bridge, composite, data access object, decorator, fa ade, flyweight, property container, and proxy design patterns. Behavioral Design Patterns Increase the flexibility of your object communication with the chain of responsibility, command, mediator, memento, observer, servant, state, strategy, template method, and visitor design patterns. Highlights: MVC (model, view, controller) pattern Singleton pattern Factory pattern Builder pattern Observer pattern Visitor pattern Lazy initialization pattern Template method Strategy pattern Decorator pattern ABAP-specific examples Anti-patterns
