Developer Extensibility Overview & Transports

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition Developer Extensibility

ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming) is the programming language developed by SAP for the SAP NetWeaver Application Server, which powers the SAP S/4HANA Cloud suite.

When key user in-app extensibility tools cannot meet specific requirements, developer extensibility offers deeper customization options within the development tenant of the development system.

In the development tenant, developers use the SAP S/4HANA Cloud ABAP Environment to build cloud-ready, upgrade-stable custom code for SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition. This environment combines the flexibility of custom ABAP development with cloud-compliant restrictions and the SAP S/4HANA programming model for creating SAP Fiori applications.

Developers export their extensions from the development tenant using the Transport Organizer within the ABAP Development Tools (ADT).

These extensions are then imported into the test system for verification using the Import Collection app. Once verified, they are forwarded and imported into the production system for live use.

Working in the SAP S/4HANA Cloud ABAP Environment

When developing in this environment, you must use only released SAP APIs, Business Add-Ins (BAdIs), released objects, and predefined extension points.

Note that custom database tables do not include default security settings. Consequently, ABAP extensions do not automatically support ILM (Information Lifecycle Management) or IRF (Information Retrieval Framework).

Note

You must perform thorough testing to ensure that data access is correctly restricted to authorized users only.
