Conway’s Law: “Any organization that designs a system (defined broadly) will produce a design whose structure is a copy of the organization’s communication structure.” (wikipedia) “Test Driven Development” (TDD) is a crucial cornerstone if the organization wants to realize CI/CD and be truly “agile”.

Shamelessly promoting my – still very valid – blog-post of SAP BTP: SAP – BTP, RAP, CAP, CDS, WTF… For further details there is an highly recommended ongoing weekly webcast-series: “The Universe of SAP Business Technology Platform in a Nutshell”.

Can you spot the difference? Likely i start coding before testing, hell – often i start coding before the requirements are fixed… Code – Requirements – Refactor – GoLive – Test But there is a better way… TDD.
The last blog-posts laid the theoretical foundation for the OData protocol: https://blogs.sap.com/2022/01/22/howto-odata-high-level-overview/ https://blog.daniel-purucker.com/odata-back-to-basics/ Now it’s time for some hands-on. The repository https://github.com/dapuru/odata gives examples for service-usage, implementation with SAP CAP, RAP and Fiori. – updated step by step…

For an overview on OData see: SAP Community: Daniel Purucker – Howto OData – High level overview Community-Site: https://community.sap.com/topics/gateway CAP: https://cap.cloud.sap/docs/ OData specification: https://www.odata.org/ MS Learn OData: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/odata/...
The classical approach to load data into SAP BW is by using extractors. With SAP HANA there is SDA and SDI, as well as native modeling – which leverage the HANA capabilities using calculation views. However sometimes virtual data models are not sufficient (eg due to performance bottle-necks), but there is still “near” real-time data needed. This is where “streaming...
