ABAP Development for SAP HANA

This step-by-step developer's guide has everything you need to build SAP HANA-optimized ABAP applications. Explore the environment and tools you'll be using and master development techniques that govern the code-to-data paradigm in SAP HANA. Then jump into backend programming using ABAP Database Connectivity, SQLScript, ABAP managed database procedures, core data services, and more. Once you've coded your apps, maintain them with runtime statistics, traces, and code analysis. Build it your way!

• Understand how SAP HANA changes ABAP programming
• Access the database with ABAP Database Connectivity, SQLScript, and ABAP-managed database procedures
• Model data using calculation views and CDS views

Getting Started

Begin by exploring the architecture and features of SAP HANA, and setting up your development environments, including SAP HANA Studio and ABAP Development Tools. Understand the code pushdown techniques that govern ABAP development on SAP HANA.

Creating Programming

Create, execute, and manage SAP HANA database procedures using native SQL, ABAP Database Connectivity, SQLScript, ABAP-managed database procedures, and more.

Modeling

Use calculation views and CDS views to model SAP HANA data. Create business objects with the Business Object Processing Framework (BOPF).

Optimizing Applications

Use runtime statistics, ABAP and SQL traces, ABAP code analysis, and system-wide analysis tools to make sure your ABAP applications are performing efficiently.
