Modification 3  

BDEF Privileged Mode for RAP Projection BOs

A new syntax variant of with privileged mode is now available for RAP projection BOs.



Modification 4  

CDS Interface Behavior Definitions

Modification 5  

Managed RAP BO, New Field Characteristic

Modification 6  

Unmanaged RAP BO, New Field Characteristic

In unmanaged RAP business objects, a new field characteristic is available: field(suppress). It removes the field in question from the BDEF derived types and from all RAP APIs.



Modification 7  

Managed RAP BO, with full data

In managed RAP business objects, the optional addition with full data can be used in combination with one of the RAP saving options to ensure that full instance data is handed over to the save_modified method of the RAP saver class in the ABAP behavior pool.



Modification 8  

Variants to Define a RAP Own Authorization Context

New variants are available for defining a RAP own authorization context:





Modification 9  

BDEF Extensions for RAP BOs

BDEF extensions for RAP BOs can be defined using the statement extension.



Modification 10  

BDEF Extensions for RAP Projection BOs

BDEF projection extensions for RAP projection business objects can be defined using the statement extension for projection.



Modification 11  

New Version of BDEF Strict Mode

A new version of BDEF strict mode is available: Strict mode version 2, specified using strict(2). It applies even more syntax checks than the first version.
