Chances are that if you work with SAP ABAP, you have heard of SAP HANA by now. You’ve probably heard that it’s “the future” and a “game changer.”
Executing and interacting with the host operating system in ABAP is easy to do. SAP has created a framework for you to first configure via SM69 and then use via the delivered API SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE.
The SQL Trace, which is part of the Performance Trace (transaction ST05), is the most important tool to test the performance of the database. Now you as of ABAP 7.2, you execute it and other important measurements from inside the New ABAP Debugger.
Now in ABAP 7.4, you can enhance the functionality of a search help object to display possible search results and further values already while typing in a drop-down box beneath the search field. This assists the user who is searching for the desired entry. In addition, for fuzzy searches you can define an error-tolerant value in order to define the deviation of the relevant results.
