PREREQUISITES – ECLIPSE AND ADT INSTALLATION

In this section we will explain the main steps to install Eclipse IDE and the ABAP Development Tools.

1. Install a JVM
Installation of a Java virtual machine (JVM) is required for you to make use of Eclipse IDE.

Depending on your preferences you may choose to install either a Java Runtime Environment (JRE), or a Java Development Kit (JDK), installing a JDK is the preferred option
by most developers but if you wish to save some disk space you may install a JRE.

The required JDK/JRE version for the latest Eclipse release must be a 64-bit JVM with Java 11.

See SAP Note 2949356 2949356 - Java 11 is mandatory for ADT in February 2021 for details.

Recommended Java Versions:

• Java 11: SapMachine 11

Once you have installed the JVM you may proceed with the installation of Eclipse IDE.

4
2. Install Eclipse IDE
There are 5 steps to install Eclipse IDE via the Eclipse Installer, you can follow the steps described in the following installation guide:

https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/installer

When prompted for Eclipse version selection, choose “Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers”, installer should then download the required components and run the
installation successfully.

5
3. Configure JVM in eclipse
In order to ensure that Eclipse is using the JVM that you have downloaded and to avoid interference by any other software installed in your system it is highly recommended
you configure Eclipse with the specific JVM you need.

To do this, you must modify the Eclipse.ini file in your installation folder. You can find the instructions to modify this file in all major OS versions in the following link:

https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini#Specifying_the_JVM

4. Install ABAP Development Tools in Eclipse

Once Eclipse IDE has been setup, you can proceed with the installation of ABAP Developer Tools by going thorugh the next steps:

a) In Eclipse, choose in the menu bar Help > Install New Software...
b) Add the URL https://tools.hana.ondemand.com/latest
c) Press Enter to display the available features.
d) Select ABAP Development Tools and choose Next.
e) On the next wizard page, you get an overview of the features to be installed. Choose Next.
f) Confirm the license agreements and choose Finish to start the installation

**NOTE:
Further information about Eclipse and ADT installation, including troubleshooting and know issues can be found in the ABAP Development Tools Installation
Guide

DEVELOPMENT BASICS

Introduction to ABAP in Eclipse

In this exercise you will learn the basics to jumpstart the use of ADT in Eclipse, you will start by creating simple reports and end in creating a custom CDS view that is
consumed by an ABAP report.

You can find the step-by-step exercise in this document in the third chapter.

Estimated execution time: 2 hours

The ABAP Development Tools (ADT) for SAP NetWeaver, also known as "ABAP in Eclipse", is the recommended IDE for developing ABAP applications. It is available
from SAP NetWeaver 7.31 SP4 onwards and it integrates seamlessly into your existing ABAP development systems. In this series of exercises, you will get an
introduction to the powerful tools delivered with ADT and experience the advantages of using ABAP in Eclipse for your ABAP developments.

All the solutions to the exercises are provided as a reference - this way you can also see the solutions for the exercises you did not finish. Feel free to experiment with
the IDE yourself. These exercises are only a guideline.

The exercises are based on the demo tables of the SAP NetWeaver EPM Model (you can find details in the SCN http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-31458 ). So you can
reiterate the exercises on any SAP NetWeaver 7.40 or later systems.

44
The method still doesn't deliver
any result data. You will now
execute a sequence of quick
assists to transform the inline
declared variable lt_result into a
fully typed returning parameter.

27. First position the cursor on

the inline declared
variable lt_result and press
Ctrl+1.

28. Select Declare local

variable lt_result
explicitlywith a double click in
the Quick Fix menu.

45
Step/Comments Screenshot

Wow! The local variable was

declared explicitly and a local
helper type was generated which
reflects the structure of our select
list containing the fields
company_name, gross_amount,
currency, and payment_status.

29. Position on the type name

helper_type and trigger
the Quick Fix proposals (
Ctrl+1 ).

30. In the Quick Fix menu

double-click on Convert
helper_type to class type.

46
The Quick Assist moved the
helper type from inside the method
implementation into the private
section. In order to use this type
for a parameter of your public
method get_items_from_db the
type should be moved into the
public section. Let's see if we can
find a Quick Assist for that.

31. Again put the cursor on the

type name helper_type and
press Ctrl+1.

32. In the Quick Fix

menu select Make helper_type
public with a double-click.

Now the helper_type has moved

into the public section and we can
transform the local
variable lt_result into a returning
parameter.

33. To do so place the cursor

on the variabe lt_result and
press Ctrl+1.

34. Double-click on Convert

lt_result to returning
parameter.

47
Step/Comments Screenshot

Note that the returning parameter

was added to the method and an
additional table type based on the
helper_type was generated.

35. ABAP Doc also offers the

possibility to document method
parameters and we have a
quick assist to do so. Place the
cursor inside of the ABAP Doc
comment. Then press Ctrl+1 to
open the Quick Fix menu and
double-click on Add missing
parameters to
documentation.

36. Add a proper text to

comment the parameter.

37. Activate the class by

clicking the activation
icon in the toolbar and go
back to your report.

48
38. Back in the report position
the cursor on the method call
get_items_from_db and Press
F2 to see the Element Info of
the method. In addition to the
method signature it also shows
the ABAP Doc you wrote
before.

39. Press ESC or click

somewhere in the editor to
close the Element Info.

40. Use a new inline declared

variable to receive the result of
the returning parameter.

Now you can display the invoice

items using the class
cl_salv_table.

41. Type cl_salv_table=> and

49
Step/Comments Screenshot
press Ctrl+Space to get code completion proposals.

42. Click on the static method factory and ...

43. Press Shift+Enter to insert the full signature of the

method call.

If you prefer to insert the full signature by default, you can

change the behaviour of the code completion in the
Preferences.
Select Window in the menu and click on Preferences. In the
Preferences Dialog enter code completion in the filter field or
open the following path ABAP Development > Editors >
Source Code Editors > Code Completion. In the Code
Complition settings you can activate a checkbox to Always
insert full signature on completion.

50
44. In the generated method call...
• Remove the commented importing parameters
list_display, r_container, and container_name
using the shortcut Ctrl+D
• Uncomment the exporting parameter
r_salv_table using the shortcut Ctrl+7 and
assign it to an inline variable alv_table
• Assign the variable invoice_items to the
changing parameter t_table

Your method call should be the same as the statement

in the screenshot.

51
Step/Comments Screenshot
45. Finally, call the display
method of alv_table.

46. Activate your report by

clicking the activation
icon in the toolbar or
using the keyboard shortcut
Ctrl+F3.

47. Run your report by

pressing F8.

48. The invoice items are

displayed in the SAP List
Viewer.

Notice that the payment status

can contain the internal codes
P or <SPACE>. In our case all
record have status <SPACE>.
Wouldn't it be better to display
more readable texts, e.g. Paid
and Open?

52
49. Go back to your invoice
retrieval class and adjust the
payment_status component of
the helper_type so that it can
hold 10 characters.

50. Add a loop in

the implementation part of the
method get_items_from_db
which transforms the values of
payment_status into readable
text.

53
51. Activate the class
by clicking or use the
shortcut Ctrl+F3.

54
Step/Comments Screenshot

52. Go back to your report by

clicking on the corresponding
editor tab and execute it by
pressing F8.

Check the result of your changes

in the SAP List Viewer.

55
You have completed the exercise!

You are now able to:

• Create an ABAP Project which represents a logon to your development system

Using Core Data Services Views

Overview
Estimated time: 30 minutes

Objective

In the following exercise you will learn how to use the new Core Data Services (CDS) tools in ABAP in Eclipse. CDS is an extension of the ABAP Dictionary that
allows you to define semantically rich data models in the database and to use these data models in your ABAP programs. CDS is a central part of enabling Code
Pushdown in ABAP applications.

You will learn to define a new CDS view in a DDL source and to consume the CDS view in the SAP List Viewer with Integrated Data Access (ALV with IDA). Using
ALV with IDA it is possible to display views and tables that contain very large quantities of data in the UI. You will also learn about some of the CDS enhanced view-
building capabilities such as associations and annotations.

You can find more information about CDS and ALV with IDA in the SAP Help Portal (help.sap.com) and the SAP Community Network (scn.sap.com).
