The new type of deployment on SAP carries unmatched qualities. It is a result of transition from traditional SAP NetWeaver to Cloud computing. That’s why, it requires new SAP ABAP Programming model. This not only best suits to the needs of new digital age, but also leverages SAP HANA and SAP Fiori technologies.
The earlier model of ABAP uses older programming techniques such as Dynpro for traditional SAP GUI based applications and web based deployment. However, SAP ABAP on HANA is based on in-memory database that works on cloud computing and SAP Fiori. It gives its users a new level of working experience. Therefore, it has changed the programming strategies manifolds and leads to the introduction of SAP ABAP on HANA for the advanced approach on deployment.
Why a new ABAP Model is developed, what is the need?
The answer to this is, to make user experience friendlier and dynamic. As always, customer is the boss. As we step into the age of digitization, everyone needs the flexibility and comfort in all sphere of working. Unlike traditional models such as Dynpro or Web Dynpro, where customers were bound to depend on the web-based applications and face its drawbacks of limited access in terms of time and devices, the new age cloud based applications leverages the flexibility and scalability of working anytime anywhere.
SAP HANA being based on cloud computing gives 24*7 access to work and mobility to switch device for a single piece of work from laptop to smartphone or tablet or in any order. Customer himself wants the flexibility and also expect the all-time availability and enhanced quality of work from the developers so as to get their queries and requirements get responded anytime.
