このブログ投稿では、SAP S/4HANA Cloud, public editionにおける開発者拡張の実装方法について実際の操作画面ベースにステップバイステップでご紹介します。コンセプトなどの概要情報については、わかりやすく紹介されているブログをリンクしていますので、ぜひそちらも参照ください。なお、SAP S/4HANA Cloud, private edition, SAP S/4HANA (オンプレミス)でも方法は同じです。 開発者拡張とは 開発者拡張(Developer extensibility)は、ABAP開発者によって、SAP S/4HANA Cloud システム内で SAP オブジェクトの拡張および独自のカスタムオブジェクトの作成ができる、というのものになります。 キーユーザ拡張よりも複雑な拡張・カスタム開発が可能であり、かつ SAP S/4HANA Cloud 内でデータを直接参照することができるため、SAP Business Technology Platform 上の Side-by-Side 拡張よりもより SAP オブジェクトと密結合した拡張機能を実装できます。 ただし従来のクラシック拡張とは異なり、開発者拡張(Developer extensibility)では、コアとカスタムコードを分離するために、従来の実装ルールより制限が多い新しい実装ルールへの準拠が必要となります。 更に詳しい内容はこちらのブログで紹介されていますのでご参照ください。 開発者拡張における ABAP とは 新しい実装ルールの主なポイントとしては、下記の3点が挙げられます。 更に詳しい内容はこちらのブログで紹介されていますのでご参照ください。 SAP オブジェクトの使用制限 – リリース済オブジェクト (Public API) のみ使用可能 Release contract という属性でリリースステータスが定義され、 未リリースのオブジェクトは使用できず、構文エラーになります。 SAP オブジェクトの拡張は事前に定義されリリースされている拡張ポイントのみ モディフィケーションは許可されていません。 Restricted....

Remote enabled function modules (RFCs) can be a bit weird Way back when, I worked on the case of the mysteriously filled parameters.
