Explore annotations in SAP ABAP on cloud for restful programming to define presentation and behavior of data in a Fiori app.

Add annotations on the travel view in the CDS to default selection criteria and line items, set header names, and expose travel, agency, and customer numbers.

Explore how to design an SAP ABAP on cloud object page by adding facets, header details, and annotations to display linked agency names and drill-down data.

Add the consumption.use_help_definition annotation to agency and customer fields to enable f4 search help linked to the cds view, including country code filtering and front-end back-end data checks.

Explore an adaptable Fiori UI search that queries agency ID and customer ID with a 0.7 fuzziness threshold for 70% accuracy, using default search element annotations.

Learn to use select options and save variants in a Fiori UI screen, building between-range criteria, adapting filters, and saving public variants for repeated searches.

Learn how local classes and global classes work together in ABAP on cloud, using a class pool to group related global classes and interfaces for modular, encapsulated, and maintainable code.

Explore the ABAP on cloud class pool concept with a global class coordinating three local classes—Earth, Mars, and Jupiter—to simulate leaving, entering orbits and landing.

Explore business objects, root entities, root nodes, and behavior definitions (BDEF) in ABAP on cloud, and learn how to link them to enable create, update, and delete through transactional capabilities.

Explore behavior implementation in RESTful ABAP programming, comparing managed and unmanaged scenarios, and trace data flow from interaction through the transaction buffer with content IDs to the save sequence.

debug and set breakpoints in ABAP on cloud using eclipse, toggle and run through breakpoints, and inspect data in the create and map data logic via a Fiori UI.

Trace end-to-end abap code in debug mode, set breakpoints in create, map data, and save to commit the travel record using the function module, producing a unique travel id.
