AMDP on #S4 HANA

In this blog I will discuss AMDP.

What is AMDP?

ABAP Managed Database Procedures (AMDP) helps to create and execute database procedures in an ABAP environment using the ABAP method. It is a class-based framework. AMDP Development can only be done in an ADT(eclipse-based development environment).

Why AMDP not CDS View?

CDS View has some limitations over AMDP.

If we want to join more tables in CDS view, we can’t (queries will not work correctly). CDS View can be created with parameters but not for Select Inputs (multiple inputs). At CDS View we cannot handle complex solutions.

At ADMP we can write multiple SQL statements. AMDP is also a Top-down approach at HANA Database. In AMDP we need to define and implement methods globally.

Features of AMDP

• All AMDP method parameters have to be passed by value, and must be of either table or scalar types. Pass by reference is not permitted
• Exporting, importing and changing parameters are allowed. Returning parameters are not allowed
• Debugging is possible with external sessions.
• Specific to the HANA database (no other database it supports).
• Transportation to higher environments is not easy.
• It can handle complex solutions(multiple inputs and multiple outputs).
