ABAP Objects Interface

Use

UKMS provides a number of interfaces that access UKMS data. Instances for interfaces are always managed and provided by class CL_UKM_FACTORY.

• The interface ID Attribute Converter(IF_UKM_ATTRIBUTE_CONVERT) converts the attributes of the cct:identifier to Universal Unique Identifier (UUID). This conversion service accelerates and simplifies the processing and storage of keys in the format of the cct:identifier.
• Interface Identifier Thesaurus(IF_UKM_ID_THESAURUS) permits the storage of and access to leading and alternative keys of objects. The interface does not provide access to key mappings.
• Interface Identifier Dictionary(IF_UKM_ID_DICTIONARY) contains methods for grouping objects. In addition to positive key mapping, you can also create negative key mapping.
• Interface Key Mapping Easy (IF_UKM_EASY) provides simplified methods for accessing grouped key mapping. The simplification is that keys (without intermediate level "object") can be copied directly into the positive pairs of key mapping.
