Studio - Key Features in a nutshell

Integrated development environment

based on Microsoft Visual Studio

UI Designer for new UIs or to adapt pre-

generated UIs

Out of the box Mobile enabled

Analytics for own objects or for

associated standard SAP objects

Web Services to communicate with other

SAP LoB solutions or cloud solutions

Extensibility of standard SAP Business

Objects, reports, UIs, and exits

Integrated add-on lifecycle with test

environments, quality reviews, and

deployment

Published to SAP Store, the commercial

platform for partner and SAP add-ons

Modification-Free - Multi-Tenant - Multi-Device


Integrated Development Environment

Build as Microsoft Visual Studio Shell application

- runs with Isolated Shell

C# like scripting language

- Defining new Business Objects, or extensions to

existing SAP Business Objects

- Implementing Actions, Exits, Web Service

consumption

Wizards to define:

- UIs, Reports, Print Forms, Workflows

- Web Services

- Business Configuration

Field Extensibility

Integrated Tracing, Debugger

Compiles to standard Business Objects


New Business Objects

New Business Objects Business objects contain nodes, elements,

associations, and actions.

The business objects are tree-like, and are

structured by nodes and sub-nodes.

The data of the elements is persisted in the

database. Transient elements are also possible.

Associations can point to other BOs within the add-

on, or to Core solution BOs.

Actions capsulate the business logic.

Authorization on instance level.

Link standard BO to BO of the partners.

Usage of address and dependent object within the

partner BO.


Build Business Logic

Scripting

Implement the business logic of add-ons. Examples:

calculate bonus, initialize elements, check user input,

and so on.

Usual control structures like “if”, “while”,“foreach”, and

so on.

Read-write access to elements of own or associated

BOs.

Query BO instances.

Exception handling.

Library of reuse services.

Usable in different contexts: BOs, process agents,

service adaptations, exit implementation.

Collection handling.

Mass operations (SAP and Partner BO).

Support multiple deployment units.


Scripting

The Scripting Language:

is specifically tailored for core cloud solution add-on development

is easy to learn and use (C# like syntax)

is not a full-fledged programming language, but rather a light-weight scripting language

is focused on snippet-based code exit implementations

offers no support for meta programming and framework development

natively supports the core cloud solution programming model (development artifacts)

is strongly static typed (supporting type inference)

utilizes the common type system of the core solution(standardized CCTS/CDT/GDT types)

ensures sandbox execution (security and tenant separation)


Public Solution Model: Object Access via the Studio

The Public Solution Model defines all objects of the

corresponding cloud solution that can be used in the

add-ons via the Studio.

~290 Business Objects

– Example Business Partner, Sales Order, Opportunity,

Invoice, and so on

– Methods like ATP Check or Events can be directly

used

– Fields used for read/write via associations, retrieve, or

queries

– ~2600+ Data Types

~1000+ UI Components

– Stable anchor to enhance existing screens

– Object Value Selectors, Embedded Components

~370 Reporting Sources

~95 Predefined Web Services

~25 Application Exits

Internet

Appointment

BeforeSave Event

Calculate, validate or

trigger any other actions Extension Field


• Fine-tune the generated

standardized UIs for new

Business Objects.

• Extend SAP’s standard

UIs with own fields,
