SAP S/4HANA Cloud

Overview for SAP S/4HANA Cloud

ConVista refers to the broad spectrum of options and scenarios that allows customers and their partners to adapt standard business software, as per their business needs. To understand better, extensibility can be categorized into

1. In-App Extensibility in the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Core

1. Side by Side Extensibility on the SAP Cloud Platform

These classifications are even valid while studying the extensibility of SAP S/4HANA Cloud, SAP S/4HANA Single-Tenant, and SAP S/4HANA. The basic building blocks of the extensibility concept are:

In-App Extensibility

• Key user extensibility

• Classic ABAP development

Side by Side Extensibility

• SAP extension SDK powering Java or Node.js

• ABAP environment

How to Use Extensibility in the First Place?

While clients are free to develop their applications under the extension of SAP, the platform still needs to be integrated into the modular SAP application (such as SAP CCUR, SAP Ariba, or SAP App Center) to extend the business process.

The main advantage of using the extension is decoupling. This feature allows extensions in the SAP S/4HA core, without affecting the increase. This decoupling is the main advantage of the concept of extensibility in the application and side-by-side of SAP S/4hana Cloud as a stable fire integrating through different stocks throughout the system.

Besides decoupling, here are some other benefits of using SAP Extensibility:

• Helps to stand out from the usual crowd

• Provides a competitive edge that is very hard to beat

• Helps to simplify processes and reduces the need for manual labour

How to Use In-App ConVista Without Any Problems?

The extension in the application allows customers to build their extensions on the SAP Cloud platform based on fire released. However, the system integration is susceptible to problems because the software is always patched and constantly updated on a fixed schedule, and innovation is introduced at any time.

This can be solved by ensuring decoupling and life cycle stability. This is because this extension is acceptable and does not hinder SAP software updates without any manual step requirements. Also, special extensions are loosely combined so they can be separated when there are requirements for each update without damaging the extension.

In-App Extensibility of SAP S/4HANA Cloud

This feature allows users to adopt new application extensions without external tool requirements. Various tasks can be done by using the SAP S/4 cloud tool, ranging from basic tasks such as hiding several fields for certain user groups, to important tasks such as developing several upscale business logic.

• Certain important features of In-App Extensibility tools are:

• Change and vary the context and UI layouts

• Develop a completely new user interface

• Create forms and email templates

• Create new and specific CDS views

• Improve the efficiency of the current business process by creating a new business logic

• Develop custom fields and custom business, models

All the In-App Extensibility Tools under the SAP S/4HANA Cloud are entirely web-based. These tools are highly beneficial for individuals who have an excellent understanding of the system but lack technical knowledge of the same. The provided In-App Extensibility Tools help create life cycle stable artefacts that do not depend on adoptions by customers but are upgrade proof.

Side by Side Extensibility of SAP S/4HANA Cloud

Side by Side concept is also present alongside the In-App extensibilities. In this platform, the users are allowed to make customized applications or use pre-existing apps. But the primary aim is to develop solutions that can be seamlessly integrated.

One can extend the previous process or make a new process that can be combined with SAP S/4HANA cloud data. Proxy applications, convenience applications, and analytical applications are some of the few extensions currently implemented by customers.

Different Integration Patterns for Side by Side Extensibility

Apart from what type of application that user-developed, it must be adequately integrated with the SAP S/4HANA cloud system. Integration consists of several levels, namely:

• UI Integration

• User Integration

• Rules and Workflow Integration

• Process Integration

• Events Integration

• Data Integration

The programming model of Side by Side extensibility follows the approach of a crucial microservice that consumes content from SAP S/4HANA Cloud. The various layers of a custom app consist of the user interface layer, the application layer, and the database layer. The application layer connects to the Cloud and uses the different content offered by SAP S/4HANA Cloud.

Use Cases for Side by Side ConVista

The use of most important use of the remaining Convista based on showing UIS depends on the platform of the SAP Fiori user experience or combining it with other SAP applications. Users can develop new applications that can run in the SAP S/4HANA cloud, and this loose application is added to SAP S/4hana through the ABAP platform. Essential users are given the most prominent extension pattern to support the adaptation project line driven by business.

ConVista is fully supported by the SAP S/4HANA Cloud and on-premise version. The main benefit of Convista is that they allow the user to either develop their applications based on the SAP Cloud Platform or use existing tools. A significant problem that might occur while developing applications is to ensure that they will be adequately unified with the system and get decoupled when any updates or changes in the original software are made to reduce any manual interference. The Convista are available as In-App or Side by Side features, which have their use cases.
