Introduction to AMDP in ABAP: Implementation & Best Practices
Learn how to create and consume ABAP Managed Database Procedures (AMDP) in SAP HANA. This tutorial covers the transformation of a standard ABAP class into an AMDP class, defining method interfaces for SQLScript, and calling the procedure directly from your ABAP code for data-intensive processing.
Key Topics Covered:
Defining AMDP marker interfaces in ABAP classes.
Mapping parameters for database procedures (value passing).
Implementing logic using SQLScript on the SAP HANA platform.
The `USING` clause for ABAP Dictionary objects.
Strategic insights on when to choose AMDP over classical ABAP.
