In this weeks’s episode, I’ve just completed the upgrade on my local ABAP Application Server from 7.01 to 7.02. So we use this opportunity to take a quick first look at some of the new features I’ve encountered. This is my no means an exhaustive look at all the new features. We do see the UML Modeler, the source code based class editor, code completion, statement chaining. Also a few new Web Dynpro ABAP features are shown; like Display As Text, Suggest Values, and the Accordion.
In the second part of this episode of the ABAP Freak Show, we continue to look at Adobe Flash Islands for Web Dynpro examples. This time we explore a multiple file uploader. The uploading is done to a dedicate SICF handler class and written into a temporary database table using the EXPORT command. So in addition to just learning about Flash Islands technology, several other little known ABAP topics are explored as well.
I do realize the irony of posting a March 4th episode, part 2 on March 5th. I apologize for the delay and for the problems with the source code download on part 1. Hopefully the super big episode – both parts clock in together at 76 minutes – will make up for the technical problems/delays.
In this packed episode, Ed Herrmann, Thomas Jung, and special guest Rich Heilman talk about all the events from the SAP Press conference announcing the launch of SAP Business Suite 7. Also included is a gold mine of information on clarifications of enhancement packages and the switch framework.
