SAP Cloud SolutionBODL – What is a Business Object

BUSINESS OBJECTS

“A business object is an entity of significance to a business.”

Typical business objects are Sales Order, Employee and Product.

In SAP Cloud Solution, Business Objects:

Encapsulate business logic and business data Act as service consumer and provider Are accessible exclusively through a standardized

set of core services Are described by a business object model that defines:

Structure Type of the attributes Aspects of the behaviour Service interfaces

SalesOrder

PurchaseOrder

CustomerInvoice

Product

AccountingDocument

BusinessPartner

Accounting Principle

DunningStrategy

Business Transaction Documents

Master Data Objects

Business Configuration Objects


SAP Cloud SolutionBODL – What is a Business Object

Business objects contain nodes, elements, associations and actions

The business objects are tree-like structured by nodes and sub-nodes

The data of the elements is persisted in the database Associations can point to other BOs within the add-on

or to standard BOs Actions capsulate the business logic Authorization on instance level (Only through

Association with Standard BOs) Link standard BO to BO of partner

Implement the business logic of add-ons. Examples: Calculate bonus, initialize elements, check user input

Usual control structures like „if“, „while“, „foreach“

Read-write access to elements of own or associated BOs

Query BO-instances Exception handling Library of reuse services


SAP Cloud SolutionBODL – What is a Node

NODE

“A node is part of a Business Object. Each Business Object has a so called root node and can have a set of

further nodes below the root node.”

The creation of a Node implicitly introduces a relationship between the parent-node and the child-node. These relationships can be used toaccess features of the child-node from the parent-node.


SAP Cloud SolutionBODL – What is a Node

Save

Database and Search Engine

Query Retrieve Modify(Create, Update,Delete)

Action(application-defined)

Business Object Buffer and Lock Handler

Script Coding(AfterModify)

Script Coding(Action)

Script Coding(BeforeSave)

BO-Joins

Business objects nodes offer services (operations), which can be accessed via interfaces. Operations and their implementation are generated from the BO definition

Business logic is added in script coding. Script coding may call operations from other business object nodes


SAP Cloud SolutionBODL – What is an Attribute

ATTRIBUTE

“Attribute is a named value or relationship that exists for some or all instances of some entity and is directly associated with that

instance.”

An attribute of an object usually consists of a name and a value; of an element, a type or class name.

Name

Address

Telephone Number

OBJECT: Employee

ATTRIBUTES:• Name• Address• Telephone

Number


SAP Cloud SolutionBODL – What is an Association

ASSOCIATIONS

“Associations are unidirectional relations between two Nodes.”

Both nodes can be located within the same Business Object or within different Business Objects. You may have a business object node named Sales Order that has an association to another business object node Business Partner.

Deployment Unit: A software package that can be operated with the foundation layer, isolated from other deployment units. It contains a set of process components.

Process Interaction: Defines the interaction between business objects in different deployment units

Query

Request

Response

Message-based interaction

To define the detailed structure of the business objects it is important to define the relationships and their cardinalities.


Introduction to ABSL



SAP Cloud SolutionABSL - Actions

ACTIONS

“A script file that executes business logic at a particular point in time within the business object's lifecycle.”

Actions can be triggered from the user interface or from events or other actions.


SAP Cloud SolutionABSL - Actions

CheckConsistency:Checks consistency of the business object. It is also an example of code reuse.

ReleaseAction:The implementation of an action consists of two parts: The first part checks the preconditions of the action. If the preconditions are not met, the second part, which contains the execution of the action, is skipped


SAP Cloud SolutionABSL - Events

EVENTS

“A script file that executes business logic at a particular point in time within the business object's lifecycle”

For example before-save, after-modify

Action Event: Each application-specific action, an event is provided for the implementation of action-specific validations (action precondition) and result determination.


SAP Cloud SolutionABSL – Events

Event before-save: executed before the consumer calls the save operation (moves to a different field) of a business object.

Name

Address

SAVE *address needs number

Name

I

SAVE

*name is not allowed

Event after-modify: executed whenever a consumer calls, or an action modifies a business object. (save)


SAP Cloud SolutionABSL – Control Statements

LOOPS

“Situations when you need to execute a block of code several times”

SAP Cloud Solution supports two loop statements: while and foreach

var i = 0;while (i < 10) {

i = i + 1;}

var i = 0;var collection = … //defines a collectionforeach (instance in collection) {

i = i + 1;}

while loop: A control structure that allows you to repeat a task a certain number of times:

foreach loop: Causes the program iterating over collections of any type:



IF - ELSE

“Compares two or more sets of data and tests the results. If the results are true, the IF instructions are taken; if not, the ELSE

instructions are taken.”

For Example:

var x = 30;If ( x < 20 ) {

this.Message = “if statement”;}else { this.Message = “else statement”;}



SWITCH - CASE

“A switch statement allows a variable to be tested for equality against a list of values”

For Example:

Switch ( this.ConsistencyStatusCode ) { case “1” { this.Message = “Check Pending”; } case “2” { this.Message = “Not consistent”; } case “3” { this.Message = “Consistent”; }}

UI Designer


Basic and Navigation


SAP Cloud SolutionUI Designer

UI DESIGNER

“SAP offers a graphical tool for fine-tuning, the UI Designer”

The user interface designer (UI designer) is integrated into the SDK, and you can use it to create new screens, or modify the screens provided by SAP.

The UI designer supports drag-and-drop for the development of the view. You can move elements by dragging and dropping into desired position.

DataModel:■ Create the structure of the data model■ Create, delete and rename nodes in the data model structure ■ Bind the data model element to the business object element ■ Display the corresponding properties of the nodes in the Properties Explorer

Controller:To define the interaction between user interface components by creating event handlers, interfaces, navigations and queries.

Preview Screen: To preview the changes made to anuser interface component.



ToolboxProvides the panes and controls that can be used to design the layout of a user interface component in the Designer tab.

Panes : Shows different areas that the user can use to structure information. i.e. FormPane

Controls : Different types of elements that can be assigned to a pane. i.e. InputField

Layout Elements :Adjust the layout of the form.i.e. LayoutBorder

CCTS-Types :Choose the type of input variablei.e. Quantity


■ PropertiesIt allows you to view and change propertiesfor each element in the user interface model.

■ Configuration ExplorerThe Configuration Explorer displaysthe repository content in the UID. You can filter the contentby a selected component type.

■ BO Browser/ DataModelBO Browser gives you a list of Business Objects andElements.

■ Extensibility ExplorerUsed to modify floorplans that come from layer lower than the layer the user is working on. It displays the anchors assigned for a particular area, such the toolbar, section group, pane container, etc. and the change transactions associated with these anchors.



SAP Cloud SolutionUI Designer – Floorplans

Object Instance Floorplan (OIF) A floorplan that allows business users to create, view, and edit a business object. Typically, the OIF shows multiple tab pages.

Quick Activity Floorplan (QAF) A floorplan that allows business users to perform a specifictask quickly. This can be self-contained or a short subtask within the context of a larger task (for example, a simple Create operation).

Fact Sheet (FS) A sheet that displays the most important properties of a business object on one page.

Object Work List (OWL) A list pane that is always embedded in a work center view. The OWL contains business objects such as purchase orders or opportunities. Business users can, for example, search for, display, and edit business objects as well as trigger follow-on processes.

Object Value Selector (OVS) A user interface pattern that supports business users when they select values for an input field. An OVS helps business users to select one item from a table of business object instances.


SAP Cloud SolutionUI Designer – Toolbar
