Here Tobias puts forward some use cases of the ABAP Package Concept from the point of view of an ABAP developers as well of an software architect.
At SAP communities ROCK! I offered a session about ABAP package concept. There are slides and a video of the session available but I decided to write a series of blogs about the topic. In my opinion the ABAP package concept was – besides object orientation and ICF – the most important innovation of the ABAP application server.
He follows it with the post below where he shows how to create package interfaces and use accesses, how to analyze a package interface of SAP standard and how to search in which package interface a certain object is exposed.
In the ABAP Package Concept Part 1 – The Basics of my weblog series I explained how the package concept can help you in ABAP development projects. Now I explain the most important development aspect: package interfaces that define public APIs. In fact this can help you to define proper APIs and how to analyze such APIs.
If you are looking to get into SAP HANA or are already developing for it, checkout John Appleby’s latest weblog where he outlines seven steps and offers insight into the best ways to optimize data models and load performance in SAP HANA. He covers not only optimizing the data model, but testing load parameters and choosing a partition scheme carefully.
So late last year, I had the opportunity to load some reasonable data volumes into SAP HANA. We got about 16GB of data or 160m records, and ran some tests. Well now I have closer to 256GB of the same data to load, and I only have a 512GB SAP HANA appliance to spare, which already has a SAP BW system and a bunch of other things on it!
