This document discusses views in ABAP dictionary objects. Views allow querying one or more tables without containing data themselves. The main types are discussed as database views, projection views, help views, and maintenance views. Database views physically exist at the database level while projection views are logical views within the ABAP dictionary. Views can perform selection, projection, and join operations on related tables and are referenced similarly to tables within ABAP programs.
This document discusses different types of views in ABAP dictionary objects. It defines a view as a way to look into one or more tables without containing its own data. It describes database views as the only type physically created at the database level, projection views as logical views that exist within the ABAP dictionary, and help and maintenance views as having specialized purposes for selection methods and permitting base table maintenance. The key relational operations of projection, selection, and join used to define view behavior are also explained.

As you recall, data is a collection of facts (numbers, text, even audio and video files) that is processed into usable information. Much like a spreadsheet, a database is a collection of such facts that you can then slice and dice in various ways to extract information or make decisions. However, the advantage and primary use of a database over a spreadsheet is its ability to handle a large volume of data and yet allow for quick access to the information that is desired.
Databases are everywhere now and impact our lives in a multitude of ways. It can accurately be said that “your life is in a database” or, more accurately, in multiple databases, and information about you (a retrieval of facts about you) is easily accessible. Your shopping history, credit history, medical history, even your driving history, is stored in one or more databases.
This exercise will introduce you to the basic building blocks of any database – fields, records, and files (also called tables). Although you will create a database with a single table containing a small amount of data about computer component Providers, the more applicable use of databases involves the creation of many tables linked together with a common field or “key.” Regardless of the size of the database, the data is stored in the same way – in fields which are combined to create a record. And those records are stored in a file or table. The data is entered into the field via a data entry form, and the information is extracted (to answer a particular question or need) via reports and/or queries.
Specific instructions for the project can be found in the table below.

This document discusses ABAP dictionary objects. It covers accessing the ABAP dictionary using transaction code SE11, the basic objects of tables, data elements, and domains. It provides instructions on defining and creating these objects, including defining domains with value tables to provide validation for fields.
The document provides an overview of a Power BI training course. The course objectives include learning about connecting to data sources, transforming data, building data model relationships, using DAX functions to transform data, and creating visualizations. It discusses topics like importing data from CSV and Excel files into Power BI, using Power Query to transform data, establishing relationships between tables in the data model, using measures and columns with DAX, and building basic and dynamic visualizations. It also provides resources for sample data files and additional learning materials for the course.
Sql server indexed views speed up your select queries part 1 - code-projecKaing Menglieng
This document discusses indexed views in SQL Server, which allow for optimizing select queries. Indexed views store clustered index data to provide another location for the query optimizer to find data. They are best suited for read-heavy databases like data warehouses. The document covers how to create indexed views, including using schema binding and unique clustered indexes, and constraints like deterministic queries. It provides an example of creating a view and index on a table to optimize queries against that data.
This document discusses using the ALV (Advanced List Viewer) component in Web Dynpro applications. The ALV is a display component that offers similar functionality to the common ALV in ABAP, including sorting, filtering, aggregation, and editing of data. It is realized as a Web Dynpro component rather than a UI element. The ALV component provides an interface for applications to modify its configuration model to enhance its generic functions with application-specific logic. Key aspects covered include binding application data to the ALV, customizing the ALV's configuration settings, and manipulating it from the application.

There are five types of datasets in Power BI: connected data models, uploaded Power BI Desktop files, Excel/CSV files, push datasets, and streaming datasets. Datasets represent data ready for reporting and visualization. Power BI can connect to external hosted models like SQL Server Analysis Services. Dataflows allow users to organize, clean, and transform data from multiple sources into a unified data structure for building datasets and reports. Dataflows use an Azure Data Lake for data storage while datasets point to subsets of dataflow data for specific reports.

This document provides instructions for an exercise to demonstrate data binding, context mapping, and navigation in a Web Dynpro application. The exercise will:
1. Create a context node with attributes in the component controller to store data.
2. Map the context node to two view controllers to make the data available to views.
3. Bind UI elements on a view to display and capture the mapped context data.
4. Create navigation between the two views using outbound and inbound plugs on the views.
This document provides instructions for creating a simple "Hello World" Web Dynpro application in SAP. The steps are:
1. Create a new Web Dynpro component called ZWD_##_HELLO_WORLD with a MAIN view.
2. Add a TEXT element to the view's layout with text "Welcome to Web Dynpro!".
3. Create a Web Dynpro application to access the component via URL.
Run the application to display the greeting text in the browser.
The document discusses various methods for accessing and manipulating context nodes and elements in Web Dynpro controllers. It describes how to navigate the context hierarchy to access specific nodes, retrieve element references, and get and set attribute values. It also covers creating new elements, binding elements and structures to nodes, and retrieving all elements in a node as a table. The goal is to understand the context API that can be used for application coding in controllers.
1. The document discusses the structure and usage of contexts in Web Dynpro controllers. Contexts are hierarchical data storage structures that hold runtime data for the lifespan of a controller.
2. Contexts are constructed from nodes and attributes at design time. At runtime, nodes become collections that can contain multiple elements. Singleton nodes ensure efficient data access by only loading child node data when needed.
3. Context mapping allows controllers to access each other's context data, sharing it without copying. Internal mapping refers to a mapping within a single component.

This document provides an overview of Web Dynpro, which is SAP's technology for developing web-based user interfaces. It discusses the key concepts behind Web Dynpro such as its model-view-controller architecture, use of declarative programming and code generation. The document also describes the main components of a Web Dynpro application including windows, views, controllers and contexts, and how they work together through mechanisms like context mapping, data binding, and navigation plugs.
The document discusses different aspects of SAP architecture and data modeling. It describes the three-tier client/server architecture of SAP R/3 systems with presentation, application, and database layers running on separate computers. It also discusses different types of database tables like transparent tables, pooled tables, and cluster tables and how they are structured and stored differently in the database. The key differences between pooled tables and cluster tables are explained. Important control properties of database tables like delivery class, data class, size category, and buffering status are also summarized.
The document discusses the benefits of meditation for reducing stress and anxiety. It notes that meditation can help calm the mind and body by lowering heart rate and blood pressure. Regular meditation of 10-20 minutes per day is recommended to experience the most benefits.
- The document discusses controlling the flow of ABAP/4 programs using control statements like IF, CASE, DO and WHILE for branching and looping.
- It describes logical expressions that can be used to compare data fields and character strings. Operators like EQ, NE, LT are used to compare field types, while CO, CN, CA are used to compare strings.
- Programming techniques like conditional branching with IF and CASE, unconditional and conditional looping with DO and WHILE are covered. Statements like CONTINUE, CHECK and EXIT can be used to terminate loops.
The document discusses how to debug SAPScript forms by activating the SAPScript debugger in the form printer and running the print program. It describes the features of the SAPScript layoutset debugger, including options to control processing like continue, execute, and single step. The document demonstrates debugging a SAPScript form and includes a summary section and questions.
This document discusses printing SAPScript forms. It describes output types which define when and where forms are printed. Output types can be set to print immediately, with scheduled jobs, or with application transactions. Forms can be previewed on screen or printed to a physical printer. Collective printing allows printing multiple documents scheduled for a specific output type, while repeating output reprints a form.
This document provides an overview of configuring SAPScript output by linking layout sets to programs in different SAP modules. It discusses output determination, which links a layout set, printing program, and form routine based on the output type and medium. The document then describes how to configure these linkages for specific programs in the SD, MM, and FI modules through various transaction codes. It concludes with a demonstration of the configuration and questions about output determination.
The document discusses SAPScript output programs. An output program retrieves data to print in a SAPScript form. It communicates with the form via function calls like OPEN_FORM, WRITE_FORM, and CLOSE_FORM. OPEN_FORM opens the form, WRITE_FORM transfers data to the form, and CLOSE_FORM closes the form after printing is complete. The document also describes the parameters and exceptions for each function call.
This document provides an overview of SAPScript forms. Key points include:
- SAPScript forms are client-specific and language-specific documents used to format output.
- Transaction SE71 is used to create, edit, and copy SAPScript forms. It allows setting page sizes and orientations as well as defining pages, windows, paragraphs, and character formats.
- Forms contain pages which contain windows for organizing content. There are four window types: MAIN, VAR, CONST, and GRAPH.
- Paragraphs and character formats are used to define text styles and attributes like font, alignment, and tabs.
SAPScript is a tool used to create formatted forms in SAP. It extracts data from SAP using an output program written in ABAP and places it into a layout set template, which formats the data for the form. The output program accesses SAP data, while the layout set defines how the extracted data will be arranged on the printed form. SAPScripts combine an output program and layout set to produce customized printed forms like invoices and purchase orders from SAP.
The document describes the batch input session method for processing batch input in SAP. It discusses creating a batch input session by opening and closing the session and inserting transaction data using BDC function modules. It provides examples of creating batch input sessions to update vendor records from sequential files and individual transactions.
1. The document discusses background processing in SAP, including scheduling background jobs, passing data between job steps, and processing jobs. Key topics covered include defining background jobs and steps, scheduling jobs to run immediately or periodically, and passing data between steps using global memory.
2. File handling using sequential files on the application server is explained. Techniques like opening, closing, reading, and writing files are demonstrated using ABAP code examples. Both text mode and binary mode file processing are covered.
3. The chapter also discusses file handling on the presentation server, specifically how to create local files by transferring the contents of an internal table using a download function module.
This document describes the Call Transaction Method for batch input in SAP. It discusses how to use the CALL TRANSACTION statement to execute a transaction from a batch input program. Errors are not handled automatically and must be addressed in the program. An example shows how to declare a BDC table, populate it from a sequential file, and call transaction FK02 to update vendor data asynchronously or synchronously. Synchronous updating allows checking for errors while asynchronous does not guarantee the database is updated.
Using folder options for page protectionKranthi Kumar
This document discusses how to create a folder in a Smart Form that protects blocks of text from being split across multiple pages. The folder option allows defining a folder with page protection by checking the Page Protection indicator. Any text added to the folder will then be kept together and printed in full on a single page, even if it spans multiple lines. This ensures blocks of content remain intact without breaking across pages when the form is output.
The document discusses SAP Business Workflow, including:
- It allows for automation of business processes across SAP applications.
- Workflows consist of sequential steps that can be performed by people or automatically by the system.
- Key components include workflow definitions, instances, tasks, work items, agents, containers, bindings, and business objects.
A view is an object, like the telescope, that provides a picture of something.
We can construct a view with special “lenses” or “filters” to allow us to look at one or more dictionary tables. We can look at parts of one table (selected records and/or fields) or combinations of tables and parts of tables.
A view is an ABAP Dictionary object.
In many cases, you reference a view in an ABAP program just as you would a table. For example, you can select data from a view. However, a view does not contain data of its own – rather, the view provides specialised access to the data that exists in other tables. For this reason, views are often called virtual tables.
In its most basic form, a view simply mirrors an entire database table. It looks just like the table and it acts just like the table – but it isn’t actually the table.
Of course, if this is all that views could do, they wouldn’t be very useful. Let’s take a look at some of the other capabilities of views.
The view name cannot be the same as an existing table name.
We can use views to:
Join several tables
Project (or choose) certain fields from one or more tables
Select (or choose) certain records from one or more tables
Join, projection, and selection are called relational operations.
The projection operation is used to narrow a view’s focus to certain fields in a table.
For example, we might have a view of an employee table that does not contain the salary field. Employees authorised to view salary data would be given authorisation to view the actual table, while other employees might only have authorisation to use the view without the salary data.
When designing a view, view fields need to be given names. The view field names should be the same as the regular table fields they are reflecting, unless the view is a database view. Only in that situation are you permitted to use different names. When referencing the view field in code, you would refer to VIEW_NAME-VIEW_FIELD_NAME.
You can also indicate the following in the View field column:
: Include every field from the table. It follows that in the Field name column, you would indicate a * as well.
: This removes a specific field from a view. You can use this option in conjunction with the one above to fine-tune which fields you want included in the view.
The selection operation is used to narrow a view’s focus to certain records in a table.
For example, we might sometimes wish to view only the information about employees belonging to a certain staff classification. This might mean creating one view containing partners and principals one view containing principal consultants, and another view containing consultants. Each view would be built using selection criteria that indicated which records to include in that view. As an example of why such a view might be used, staff members might be permitted to view the billing rates of employees in the same staff classification or lower, but not of employees in a higher classification.
You specify selection criteria by building logical expressions that compare specific fields of a table to hard-coded literal values.
(1 & 2) Specify the table and field on which the restricted selection should take place. Any fields, including unprojected ones, can be indicated.
(3) Specify the relational operator used to compare the field to the value. You may use EQ, NE, LE, LT, GE, GT, LIKE, and NOT LIKE.
(4) Specify the comparison value. Comparison values must be text or numeric literals. Text literals must be enclosed in single quotes.
(5) You can specify multiple selection criteria (one per line) and link them using the logical operators AND and OR. Unlike elsewhere in SAP (and most other systems), OR takes priority over AND. Also, OR operations are only permitted between lines which refer to the same field.
If the projection and selection operations are both used within the same view, it is possible to specify selection criteria for fields that are not included within the view. For example, it would be possible to create a view that contained only employees making over $100,000 per year even if the view did not contain the salary field.
The join operation is used to combine information from multiple tables into a single view.
For example, we might wish to create a report listing employees by name, along with their salary history. Database design considerations would probably result in the salary history being stored in one table and basic employee information (such as the name) being stored in another. Thus, we might create a view that would combine the data from both tables. We could write our report program using this view, and it would seem to our program as if the data was stored in a single table.
Using the join operation within a view is generally the most efficient way to access data from multiple tables. We’ll examine some other methods later on.
Database design principles often require related data to be stored in separate tables. This is necessary to provide flexibility in one-to-many and many-to-many relationships, and also to prevent data redundancy. For example, if employee name and salary history were stored in the same table, we would encounter one of the following situations:
If we stored salary history on the employee record, we would have to create a fixed number of “previous salary” fields in the employee table. For many employees, most of those fields would be blank, and for long-term employees, we might eventually run out of fields.
If we stored employee name on the salary history record, we would have many copies of the employee’s name. If the employee’s name changed, that change would have to be made many times. Additionally, we would run the risk of not updating all the data correctly, and the employee and the salary table could get “out of sync.” Whenever possible, redundant copies of the same information should be avoided.
As a result, data is often “broken apart” into several tables. This is called normalising the database. The join operation essentially reverses this process. The result of a join is a view that looks like a table with redundant data.
When data is broken apart into separate tables, it is still necessary to duplicate some data – namely the key fields of the tables involved. For example, the salary history table would contain a field for employee ID number, so that we knew which employee each salary record belonged to. In this case, the employee ID number becomes a foreign key in the salary history table.
The key to understanding the join operation is to understand that different tables are joined together using foreign keys. We don’t want every employee’s name associated with every salary history record. Rather, we want each employee’s name to be associated with only those salary records belonging to that employee.
Therefore, in order to use the join operation in SAP, you must first ensure that the appropriate foreign key relationships exist among the tables to be joined. Also, you must ensure that the semantic attributes of those foreign keys have been maintained (see Chapter 4 for a discussion of semantic attributes and foreign keys).
Other notes on the join operation:
Views are created with a primary table and up to 10 secondary tables.
The primary table can be either a check table or a foreign key table with respect to the other tables in the view (i.e., the primary table does not have to be the check table).
Note : When a join operation is employed, only those primary table records that have a match in all secondary tables are retrieved. For example, in a join between employees and salary history, employees with no salary history records would not appear at all.
You can hard code all the tables you need all at once. Then you would have to hard code the foreign key relationships between them as well.
It might be simpler to input the first base table, and from there hit the Relationships pushbutton. Then you can select a related table and the join conditions will be filled in automatically for you.
The database view is the only type of view in SAP that is physically created at the database level. In other words, the underlying database system also directly recognises the view, apart from SAP. Therefore, database views must be created over transparent tables.
With the database view, all three of the relational operations (projection, selection, and join) can be used.
Database views can be buffered just like transparent tables. In the technical settings you can decide whether to have buffering off, or on with type single record, generic, or full.
The projection view is a logical view. In this context, the word “logical” means that the view exists within the ABAP Dictionary but is not recognised by the underlying database system.
Projection views must be defined over a single transparent table.
The only relational operation that is valid for a projection view is projection.

Help Views: Help views can be used as selection methods for Search Helps. It might be necessary to create a Help View if you are trying to accomplish an outer join, since database views only create inner joins.
Maintenance Views: These views permit maintenance of base table data. Transactions SM30 and SE54 are provided for working with maintenance views.
In previous releases, Help Views used to play a major role in matchcodes. However, matchcodes have been replaced by Search Helps, and therefore, Help Views no longer have as big a presence.
In the code above, we select data from the view YXXEMP_V to write data from the id, name, and salary fields to the screen.
The syntax to reference a view in an ABAP program is the same as that used to reference a table.
