Explore SAP HANA CDS, a database-side stored procedure viewed as a table, enabling fast data access and reusable views, plus debugging workflows in HANA Studio or Eclipse.

This demonstration shows how to use CDS in SAP, examine join conditions and fields, display results in an ALV grid, and debug a SELECT with breakpoints to identify issues.

Explore debugging CDS logic in Eclipse by inspecting the underlying SQL view, examining the Eco and Ekpo join on EB, selecting fields, and filtering with conditions.

Explore Abap managed database procedures (amdp) for fast, database-resident code on SAP Hana enabling real-time transactions. Practice debugging in SAP and Eclipse, validating input, output, and large data sets.

Master debugging AMDP in SAP by stepping through code, inspecting filters and return values, and using Eclipse with ERP to verify data flow from IMDb class to internal tables.

Discover SAP Fiori, a web-based, user-centric interface for S/4 HANA that delivers one action per transaction. Profiles supply org values and streamline the screen for faster, simpler tasks.
