BADI Definition in SAP

Business Add-Ins (BADI):

     Business Add-Ins is a new SAP enhancement technique based on ABAP objects. They can be inserted into the SAP system based on specific user requirement.

BADIs are implemented through ABAP objects, classes, interfaces and all that of object oriented stuff. Main advantage of BADI over EXITs is due to its multiple Implementation concept. Nothing but multiple implementations are possible for a single BADI. And we can activate and deactivate our implementations without effecting other implementations.

Tutorial on Interactive Reports in ALV List/Grid

Here is the Interactive Report for ALV's.


Below code contains few Function Modules related to ALV's.
Just go through the below code where i have mentioned proper comments. Which helps you to make your work easy.

Interactive Report Tutorial in SAP-ABAP

Here is the Tutorial which gives you clear picture about Interactive reports.


In this tutorial we are going to use 3 Database tables:
MARA 
MARC & 
MARD


And few select queries for retrieving data from the database tables.
We are going to make use of few Interactive Report events like

Ways to Declare Internal Table in SAP-ABAP

Internal Table Definition:
                                         Internal Table is a collection of fields which are of different types.Where we can store multiple records at a time.
The data in the internal table is going to be stored for temporary.


Here are the few ways of declaring Internal tables:



*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*
*& Report  ZINT_TAB_DECLARATIONS
*&
*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*
*&
*&
*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*

REPORT  ZINT_TAB_DECLARATIONS.

*// INTERNAL TABLE DECLARATION BY REFERRING STANDARD DATABASE TABLE
DATA: IT_MARA TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF MARA WITH HEADER LINE.

*// DECLARING INTERNAL TABLE BY USING INCLUDE STRUCTURE
DATA: BEGIN OF IT_MARA1 OCCURS 0.
      INCLUDE STRUCTURE MARA.
DATA:  END   OF IT_MARA1.

*// DECLARING INTERNAL TABLE BY USING TYPES DECLARATION
TYPES: BEGIN OF TY_MARA,
       MATNR TYPE MARA-MATNR,
       ERSDA TYPE MARA-ERSDA,
       END   OF TY_MARA.

DATA: IT_MARA2 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TY_MARA.


*// INTERNAL TABLE DECLARATION BY USING NORMAL METHOD
DATA:  BEGIN OF IT_MARA3 OCCURS 0,
       MATNR TYPE MARA-MATNR,
       ERSDA TYPE MARA-ERSDA,
       END   OF IT_MARA3.

Ways to Declare Workarea/Structure in SAP-ABAP

Definition Of Structure or Workarea:


                          Structure/Workarea is a collection of fields which can be of different datatypes. And we can store maximum of one record at a time.


Data Storage in workarea is temporary.


 Few ways of declaring Workarea/Structure are:

Basic Programming Guide Lines to be followed

What is the use of it ? 


Whenever we are developing any report we have to follow certain terminologies(it's not must but for best practice and professionals follow this). So, that it will be helpful for us in future to make any changes. Also, it will be helpful for fellow mates to understand the whole purpose of the report and in future it will be helpful for them to make changes.


Basis Guidelines:


-> Always use comment lines *&----------&*
Before developing the report at the top mention the purpose of the report.
Like:
*& The purpose of this Report is to fetch &*
*& Data from MARA Table                      &*  
Report ZMARA.


While declaring Internal Tables, Work areas specify the table names.
Like: 
*// Internal Table to hold MARA fields
DATA: IT_MARA TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TY_MARA.


Write comments for every field.
Like:
*// Types declaration for MARA Table //*
Types: Begin of ty_mara,
            matnr type mara-matnr    "Material Number
            ersda  type mara-ersda     "Created On
            End of ty_mara.
Also, please use comment lines before declaring any functionmodules etc.

SAP R3 Architecture - Sapgui, Application server and Database server

SAP is having a 3 tier (R3) client-server architecture, which consists of :

• Presentation Server
• Application  Server
• Database Server

Presentation Server:      Actually presentation server is  a program named sapgui.exe, which is usually installed on user's workstation.

This program is responsible for sending all the user inputs to the application server and for retrieving the data from the application server and also it displays the screens.

To start it, user should double click on it. 

Sap Logon

Application Server: Application Server is responsible for interpreting the ABAP/4 programs. It consists of many executable programs which gets started automatically whenever the application server gets started.

Each application server has a profile that specifies its characteristics when it start ups and when it is running.

An Application server profile mainly contains:

• Number and type of each process.
• Amount of memory used for each process.
• Length of time a user is inactive before being automatically logged off.

Database Server:   The database server consists of several executable files to process the requests from Application server. After processing the requests these requests are passed to RDBMS (Relational Database Management System). RDBMS will send the data back to the database server and database server will forward this data to the Application server. This Application server inturn passes the data to the ABAP/4 program.
