SAP Cloud Application Studio: Key takeaways

DEVELOPMENT

The SDK provides access to the Public Solution Model which contains the released business content of the SAP ByD core solution.

This includes the data types, business objects and other components that SAP has released to the developer community, enabling the realization of extension scenarios.

The SDK allows for many enhancements including web service integration, approvals, data loads, mobile UI screens, and more.

Developments are controlled by the use of wizards and a layer of scripting languages. This makes developments more simple, albeit more restricted.

SAP Cloud Application Studio: Key takeaways

DEVELOPMENT

The business object (BO) is the route to most enhancements, whether extending an SAP standard object, or creating a new custom object.

Creation of a BO will create a table in the cloud application with the table fields defined by the elements declared in the business object.

The BO is the basis for creating UI screens (mobile or desktop), events, action scripts, interfaces and associations to other business objects.

With the SDK you can develop customer-specific enhancements for a single given installation, or a multi-customer extension that can be re-used within multiple installations. SAP partners have the option of developing extensions specifically for selling on the SAP store.
