ABAP Managed Database Procedures in Release 7.40, SP05

1. Tag interface for AMDP classes

2. Implementation of AMDP methods

ABAP Managed Database Procedures (AMDP) is a framework that was introduced in Release 7.40, SP05 that makes it possible to manage and call stored procedures or database procedures as AMDP procedures. In the first phase, database procedures programmed in SQLScript are supported in the SAP HANA database.

Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54

Modification 1

Tag Interface for AMDP Classes

The new tag interface IF_AMDP_MARKER_HDB flags a class as an AMDP class, which can contain AMDP methods for SAP HANA database.

Modification 2

Implementation of AMDP Methods

The new addition BY DATABASE PROCEDURE FOR HDB LANGUAGE SQLSCRIPT for the statement METHOD turns a method of an AMDP class into an AMDP procedure implementation. This is implemented in the SQLScript language of the SAP HANA database and not in ABAP. The ABAP runtime environment creates a corresponding database procedure in SAP HANA database. This procedure is executed when the AMDP method is called.
