SAP ABAP 7.5 Optimization for HANA

AMDP, CDS and Native SQL for Peak Performance

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In the evolving landscape of SAP development, performance is no longer just a nice-to-have it's a necessity. With the power of SAP HANA and the enhancements introduced in ABAP 7.5, developers are now equipped to rethink how applications are built, executed, and optimized. This book is your guide to that transformation.

We begin by understanding the core shift: moving data-intensive operations directly into the HANA database. When implemented correctly, this "code pushdown" philosophy dramatically reduces data transfer and processing overhead. AMDP (ABAP Managed Database Procedures), our in-database processing engine, enables us to write complex logic directly in SQLScript, harnessing HANA s parallel processing capabilities. We focus on crafting efficient AMDP procedures by adopting set-based operations and minimizing unnecessary data movement.

Next, we explore Core Data Services (CDS) Views, our go-to data modeling tool. CDS Views are not just simple database views; they act as semantic layers that define how our applications interact with data. We learn to create optimized CDS Views by leveraging associations, annotations, and table functions, enabling us to build reusable, high-performance data models. These views simplify complex queries, improve data consistency, and enhance application flexibility.

We then turn to Native SQL, our direct line to the HANA database. While AMDP and CDS Views provide powerful abstractions, Native SQL offers ultimate control for specialized tasks. We embed Native SQL within AMDP procedures to access database-specific features and fine-tune performance for critical operations. Along the way, we apply best practices for writing efficient queries, with a strong focus on indexing, join strategies, and precise data filtering.

Throughout this journey, we emphasize the importance of rigorous testing and proactive monitoring. Just like a race car undergoes extensive testing before hitting the track,our ABAP applications require careful validation to ensure accuracy and optimal performance. We explore techniques for unit testing AMDP procedures, validating CDS Views, and monitoring query performance. We also look at strategies for detecting and addressing potential bottlenecks before they affect end users.

SAP ABAP 7.5 Optimization for HANA is not just about writing faster code it s about fundamentally rethinking how we develop applications. By embracing code pushdown, leveraging AMDP, CDS Views, and Native SQL, and implementing robust testing and monitoring strategies, we build ABAP applications that are not only faster, but also more scalable, maintainable, and adaptable to the ever-evolving demands of modern business.
