How to create CRUD using SAP RAP?

2025-04-29T12:49:05.988000+02:00

Hello everyone, I have created an ODATA service(Service definition, Behavior Definition) to perform CRUD operations on a custom table.

Using SAP Gateway Client, I was able to create an entry into the custom table using the code below. I'm not sure how it works specifically on update and delete.

Here is my code for Behavior Definition:

managed implementation in class zcl_test unique;
strict(2);
define behavior for zv_test
persistent table z_custable
lockmaster
authorization master( instance )
{
create;
update;
delete;
action createUser result[1] $self;
}

Here for the class:

CLASS lhc_ZV_TEST DEFINITION INHERITING FROM cl_abap_behavior_handler.
PRIVATE SECTION.
METHODS get_instance_authorizations FOR INSTANCE AUTHORIZATION
IMPORTING keys REQUEST requested_authorizations for ZV_TEST RESULT result.

METHODS createUser FOR MODIFY
IMPORTING keys FOR ACTION zv_test-createUser RESULT result.

CLASS lhc_zv_test IMPLEMENTATION
METHOD createUser.
ENDMETHOD.
ENDCLASS.

My question is, how do i implement the update and delete? is it implemented in the behavior definition? I'm not really exposed to this RAP.

Regarding cross Tier , Cross 'ABAP Language" Cloud development

2025-04-29T14:28:45.051000+02:00

While implementing a classic unreleased BADI we plan to write the core logic in a Tier-1 Class ( use Tier-2 wrapper class to wrap any unreleased objects). Once we have this logic in a Tier-1 class , we plan to call this method in the classical Tier-3 BADI. This is to avoid/decrease technical debt once this classical BADI cloud released. Do you see any issues with this approach (cross Tier, cross "ABAP language) on the upgrade stability?

This is on S4HANA 2023 , Basis version 758 SP 02

Do you have any documentation ( Note, KBA or blog) to support this approach?

How to use HTTP Post method in SAP Gateway Client using JSON format?

2025-04-29T14:38:06.724000+02:00

I was trying to update a custom table using the HTTP METHOD POST in SAP Gateway Client. Here's the JSON format that I've used. The fields ZBANDNAME, ZESTDATE, ZMEMBERS are key fields while the ZSTATUS is not and I'm trying to update it.

{
 "ZBANDNAME" : "ONE DIRECTION",
 "ZESTDATE" : "2010",
 "ZMEMBERS" : "FOUR",
 "ZSTATUS"  : "DISBANDED"
}

Upon trying to update the value of a field ZSTATUS in SAP GW Client, I encountered an error message: "The key value is already in use. Please enter a different one."

How can I avoid this issue and proceed with the update?

Show Adobe Forms/SmartForms in ABAP RAP UI without SEGW or extend the FIORI UI

2025-04-30T09:04:58.377000+02:00

Hi Folks, I need to put PDF generated from Adobe Forms/SmartForms in ABAP RAP Report. I have try using virtual element in the projection view. I have put the semantic object for large object in the element.

Virtual element code

The object are populated. The data showed in BASE64 string if I removed the semantic large object. However when I put the semantic large object, it showed the data as a url/link but nothing happened when I click the link. no error. If I put the generated XSTRING in the table and select it using normal CDS without virtual element the link works normally.
I have also try to use it in a custom entity, but the result is same. Nothing happened when I click the link.

I there any other ways to fulfill this requirement without using SEGW and extend the UI?

Creating Custom Post-processing of the Output Payment File- SAP S4 HANA PUBLIC CLOUD(ABAP CLOUD)

2025-05-02T08:11:22.766000+02:00

Hi All,

We are currently implementing custom post-processing logic for the output payment file generation.
However, we're facing an issue when a single payment includes multiple invoices.

The behavior we're experiencing is:

Three separate output files are being generated.

File 1 includes details of only the first invoice.

File 2 includes the first and second invoices.

File 3 includes all three invoices.

Our objective is to generate a single output file that contains all invoices related to the payment.

We have attempted debugging the process, but the BAdI (Business Add-In) we’re using is not getting triggered during this execution, even though the output files are being generated.

Has anyone encountered this issue before or have any insight on:

Why the BAdI might not be triggered?

How we can ensure that all invoice details are captured once in a single output file?

We referred the below link to Creating Custom Post-processing of the Output Payment File:

https://learning.sap.com/learning-journeys/exploring-localization-as-a-self-service-with-sap-s-4hana-cloud-public-edition/creating-custom-post-processing-of-the-output-payment-file_fa31d25b-c161-4f02-a0b2-b8338533bd94

Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

How to consume a logo(uploaded in MANAGE LOGO app) in STANDALONE Adobe form (w/o Master template)?

2025-05-02T22:01:40.955000+02:00

Help me with one thing, which I'm recently trying for my knowledge purpose.

Client Logo is so far uploaded in MANAGE LOGO Fiori app, and then the name of the same would be handled in SPRO configuration against MASTER FORM with header, footer- by creating a RULE

But if we want to use that same logo in STANDALONE form, what set of code can we write?

I don't want to use SE78 BMP image, string, etc. I am aware of that part.
So, can you help me here?

Distribution of customer to lower environments. Production to Quality

2025-05-06T12:22:29.616000+02:00

We have a requirement where we have to Distribute production data (customers) to quality system.

The approach we followed is by DRF. The IDOCs are now successfully reaching the quality system but now we have to create a process code in order to handle the IDOC.

We were planning to create a FM in which we will map each field in IDOC segment to standard tables like KNA1, KNVV, KNVK etc. This will take time and will not be efficient for large number of IDOCs.

Please let me know the correct approach for this situation?

INCLUDE TYPE not available on S/4 HANA?

2025-05-07T16:05:07.970000+02:00

I am trying to extend SAPs service consumption models to include navigations in my partner namespace structures. It seems 'INCLUDE TYPE is no longer recognized syntax in S/4 HANA 2023.

After using 'INCLUDE TYPE', a structure literally called 'include' that needs to be referenced as "ls_struct-include-field_name" is created.

I have imported various API Hub edmx files as service consumption models to create my initial classes. Is there a work around to not having access to the old 'INCLUDE TYPE / INCLUDE STRUCTURE' in recent versions of ABAP cloud?

TYPES:
      BEGIN OF tys_product_type,
        product TYPE c LENGTH 40,
        etag TYPE string,
      END OF tys_product_type.

TYPES:
     BEGIN OF tys_extended_product_type,
        product_description        TYPE tyt_product_description_type,
        product_ewmwarehouse       TYPE tyt_product_ewmwarehouse_type,
        INCLUDE TYPE tys_product_type,
     END OF tys_extended_product_type.

Update permitted usages - 3 Tier extensibility model

2025-05-07T16:27:02.173000+02:00

In our S/4 HANA 2023 FPS02 system, INHERITING FROM /iwbep/cl_v4_abs_pm_model_prov is not permitted in tier 1 (ABAP version ABAP CLOUD).

Following SAPs guide on using client proxys in on-premise systems, All of our consumption models for client proxy inherit from this interface. Therefore, all our client proxy classes need to be put into a Tier 2 software component.

I can see that in BTP ABAP systems, usage of /iwbep/cl_v4_abs_pm_model_prov is allowed.

So, how do we update our on-premise system to get new permissions on what objects are allowed for use without moving usage into Tier 2 wrappers?

User license type applicable for apps developed with Developer extension

2025-05-09T16:06:16.765000+02:00

Hi,

I am planning a Developer extension to S/4HANA Cloud with RAP.
The RAP will use Business Object Interfaces ( I_JOURNALENTRYTP).
Which user license type will be applied to the users of that extension app: self-service use / core use / advanced use?
Or does only Digital Access count?

Best regards.

Automatic integration of Change Documents in managed RAP BO not supported on Public Cloud

2025-05-10T13:38:29.614000+02:00

Hi community,

I've used change documents in RAP before, but I needed to handle it within an additional save method. I just realized (must be quite new) that there is now a more automatic integration possible explained here:
https://help.sap.com/docs/abap-cloud/abap-rap/integrating-change-documents?locale=en-US

I tried using this in my RAP behaviour definition, but I am getting a syntax error for the following statement:

changedocuments master ( <id_of_the_chdoc_obj> )

It states that "changedocuments" is not supported with the current ABAP release. I am working on a Public Cloud system. I'm wondering on which release this is working (maybe ABAP Platform on BTP?). This would be one of the first things I encounter, which is supported over there but not on public cloud.

Can someone confirm this? It would also be great to know if this will also be available for Public Cloud.

Thanks in advance!
Daniel
