ABAP Cloud
Technical use cases and recommended technologies
Version 1.0 / May 2023
About this document
This document shall be used a reference for the possible use cases for development and key user
extensibility of ABAP Cloud and to find further documentation and material for each of them.
It does not have to be read from beginning to end but can be used to just search for specific use
cases.
A good overview can be achieved by reading till the end of chapter ABAP Cloud Use Cases Overview and Recommendations.
The chapter afterwards (Documentation for the use cases) will feature available links for
documentation for each SAP product where ABAP Cloud is available, blogs and other material.

Introduction
With the introduction of the ABAP Cloud development model, we published the new extensibility
guide providing an overview of the extensibility options for the mentioned products and guidelines
for project managers, key users, and ABAP developers.
This document provides a deeper insight into the possible and recommended use cases and
technologies (Chapter 2) within the ABAP Cloud development model as well as the needed
resources (Chapter 3) to apply them in extension or stand-alone projects.
The ABAP Cloud development model is available for all SAP S/4HANA editions as well as for
SAP BTP1, ABAP environment.

ABAP Cloud Use Cases - Overview and Recommendations
The following chapter and tables describe the recommended options implementing the use cases
with ABAP Cloud for developers and key users. The use cases are categorized in the different
layers of the ABAP Cloud map.

ABAP Cloud End-to-End Use Cases
ABAP Cloud is designed to build cloud ready, robust business applications. Services play a major
role in this design, but also the possibility to build and deploy UIs on these services is a main pillar
in ABAP Cloud. Here, you will find the possible end-to-end use cases recommended with ABAP
Cloud for exposing services and deploying UIs.

ABAP Cloud Detailed Use Cases
The following table provides recommendations for the various extension possibilities (data model,
business logic, or user interface) in the context of the extensibility model separated by classic
ABAP extensibility and ABAP Cloud extensibility with the two personas Developer and Key User.
The various options are detailed in the following sections.
Not listed use cases are not supported and should be considered as not recommended.
Remark: All mentioned use-cases are targeted for custom development – a customer or partner
developer creates custom object(s) for the specific use-case in the customer/partner namespace.

BUSINESS SERVICE EXPOSURE
CREATE CUSTOM UI WITH SAPUI5 / SAP FIORI ELEMENTS ON CUSTOM ODATA SERVICE
USING RAP
Limitation for Key User Extensibility: The Custom BO Application to build custom business objects
with Key User extensibility was introduced before RAP and the developer extensibility. The
migration to RAP is in progress, but not yet released. Thus, the Custom BOs are not yet accessible
in developer extensibility.

OData services for SAP Fiori UIs are not released. They are considered as private for the SAP
Fiori UI. If customers create a custom SAP Fiori UI on an SAP OData service, this is not LMstable. To create lifecycle-stable custom SAP Fiori UIs on an SAP OData service, customers
should use OData services listed on the SAP API Business Hub and create the custom UI/app
using SAP Cloud SDK.

CREATE/USE ABAP MANAGED DATABASE PROCEDURES (AMDP)
AMDPs may only use objects released with the C4 contract. Initially, only classes and interfaces
can be released with C4. And these must not contain anything that is not AMDP-capable (AMDP
only). Also, there are very strict compatibility rules when it comes to types - currently no extensions
are allowed.
If SAP objects are used, they may only be used in such a way that later extensions are possible but we currently only have a provisional check on this.
AMDPs are limited to read-only in ABAP Cloud Usage at the moment.

RE-USE SERVICES & LIBRARIES
A key element of ABAP Cloud are libraries and services that are provided directly in stack and
automatically come with the ABAP product without any additional cost. At the same time, they are
well-integrated into the programming model to optimally reduce TCD for business applications.
Moreover, there are several libraries for simplifying and standardizing everyday development tasks
ABAP language library (runtime Type Info, String, Date/Time, …)
● XCO ABAP repository library (read or generate repository objects)
● XCO I18N library (read and maintain translations for custom repository objects)
● XCO standard library (XLSX, JSON, …)
The set of ABAP Cloud services and libraries is continuously reviewed and extended according to
stakeholder and customer requests.
