All questions
Question 1: Correct
How is 'Encapsulation' achieved In ABAP OO? Please choose the correct answer.
• By bundling data with the methods that operate on that data (Correct)
• By declaring all methods and attributes as public
• By implementing all methods in a single class
• By using global classes only
Explanation
‘Encapsulation’ in ABAP OO (Object-Oriented) is achieved by bundling data with the
methods that operate on that data.

In ABAP OO, encapsulation is a mechanism of wrapping data and functions together.

This hides the data and functions from the outside world, thus promoting data hiding.
Data hiding means obstructing the view of private data and functions from unwanted
third parties.

Encapsulation is a protective cover that prevents the code and data from being
randomly accessed by other code defined outside the wrapper. Access to the code and
data inside the wrapper is tightly controlled through a well-defined interface.

In summary, encapsulation in ABAP OO supports the properties of encapsulation and

data hiding through the creation of user-defined types called classes. It is a key
principle of object-oriented programming that helps in maintaining the integrity of the
data and enhances the modularity and readability of the code

Question 2: Correct
In ABAP for SAP HANA What is the purpose of 'Client-Side Caching'?

Please choose the correct answer.

• To encrypt data before sending it to the client

• To cache data on the database server
• To store frequently accessed data on the client side to improve performance
(Correct)
• To back up data on client devices
Explanation
The purpose of ‘Client-Side Caching’ in ABAP for SAP HANA is indeed to store
frequently accessed data on the client side to improve performance1. The client-side
cache typically resides in a browser and stores the requested resources. If certain
conditions are met, subsequent requests read the resources from the cache. This
improves the performance considerably as roundtrips to the front-end server are
avoided
Question 3: Correct
Which RAP approach should be used for optimal performance and maintainability
Scenario: A developer is tasked with creating a web service formanaging customer
data? There are 3 correct answers to this question.
• Expose the service using OData V4 (Correct)
• Implement custom authorization checks in the service definition
• Utilize behavior definitions for CRUD operations (Correct)
• Embed SQL queries within the service implementation
• Use managed transactional processing for business logic (Correct)

Question 4: Correct
Using ABAP CDS views Which of the following are benefits of? There are 3 correct
answers to this question.
• Enhanced performance with code pushdown (Correct)
• Direct access to database tables
• Automatic generation of OData services
• Rich data modeling capabilities (Correct)
• Integrated authorization checks (Correct)
Explanation
The benefits of using ABAP CDS views include:

Integrated Authorization Checks: ABAP CDS views can include authorization checks,
ensuring that only authorized users can access the data.

Rich Data Modeling Capabilities: ABAP CDS views offer rich data modeling capabilities,
including the ability to define complex views, use expressions and functions,
aggregates, “GROUP BY” and “HAVING” clauses, associations (including filters and
prefixes), “ORDER BY”, “CASE”, “UNION”, “JOIN”, and “TOP” among others.

Enhanced Performance with Code Pushdown: ABAP CDS views can enhance
performance by pushing computation to the database layer instead of doing it in the
application layer12. This is particularly beneficial when dealing with large volumes of
data.

So, integrated authorization checks, rich data modeling capabilities, and enhanced
performance with code pushdown are indeed benefits of using ABAP CDS views. They
provide a powerful tool for modern application development on SAP systems

Question 5: Correct
In the context of SAP S/4HANA Cloud, what is a Side-by-Side Extension? Please choose
the correct answer.
• An extension using only frontend technologies
• A direct modification to the standard SAP code
• An extension built within the S/4HANA core
• An extension built on a separate platform, like SAP BTP (Correct)
Explanation
A Side-by-Side Extension in the context of SAP S/4HANA Cloud is an extension built on
a separate platform, like SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP).

Side-by-side extensions are software applications running externally to the core

application (SAP S/4HANA Cloud) and interacting with it using SAP standard APIs.
These extensions do not run on SAP S/4HANA Cloud but instead on SAP BTP, using the
development and runtime services it offers. This could be Java, Node.js, or SAP BTP,
ABAP environment.

The primary consideration with choosing a side-by-side approach is that while the
application may need SAP S/4HANA Cloud data, it doesn’t need the runtime
environment1. Side-by-side extensions utilize remote APIs for access and manipulation
of SAP S/4HANA Cloud data. The data is then available to be utilized locally by other
SAP BTP services, stored locally if desired, or combined with additional data from other
sources for reporting and analysis.

So, an extension built on a separate platform, like SAP BTP, is indeed a Side-by-Side
Extension in the context of SAP S/4HANA Cloud. It allows for greater flexibility and
customization to meet specific business needs

Question 6: Correct
When working with interfaces What do you have to consider?

There are 3 correct answers to this question.

• Implementing classes may declare the interface in any visibility section.

• Static methods can be implemented in an interface.
• Static methods, instance methods, static events, and instance events are
possible interface components. (Correct)
• Implementing classes must declare the interface in their public section.
(Correct)
• Instance methods are not implemented in an interface. (Correct)
Explanation
When working with interfaces in SAP ABAP, you should consider the following:

Static methods, instance methods, static events, and instance events are possible
interface components: Interfaces can extend the functionality of a class. They can
declare globally or locally in ABAP programs.

Instance methods are not implemented in an interface: The interface in SAP ABAP is
different from the class, it cannot have any implementation like the class. It defines a
set of method declarations that a class must implement without providing any
implementation detail of that method.
Implementing classes must declare the interface in their public section: The interface
can be implemented in the same class where the functionality extension is required.
The implementing class must declare the interface in their public section.

So, all three statements you provided are correct considerations when working with
interfaces in SAP ABAP.

Question 7: Correct
What is the significance of the 'Friend' relationship between classes in ABAP OO?
Please choose the correct answer.
• It restricts access to methods and attributes to a specific class
• It enables classes to access each other's private components (Correct)
• It is used to define inheritance relationships
• It allows classes to share all methods and attributes
Explanation
The ‘Friend’ relationship in ABAP OO (Object-Oriented) does indeed enable classes to
access each other’s private components.

In ABAP OO, the visibility of properties of a class is typically limited to three scopes:
Public, Protected, and Private. Public properties are open to all, Protected properties are
open only to subclasses, and Private properties are only for the class itself.

However, with ‘Friend’ classes, you can access even the private properties of an object
without inheritance. This becomes useful when you want to implement factory patterns
or in unit testing.

It’s important to note that friendship is a unilateral principle. A class that grants
friendship is not automatically a friend of its friends. If the class that grants friendship
wants to access the private or protected components of its friend, the latter must grant
friendship explicitly.

Also, subclasses of friends and interfaces that are assigned a friend as a component
interface also become friends. Therefore, extreme care should be taken when defining a
friendship.

In summary, the ‘Friend’ relationship in ABAP OO is a powerful tool that allows classes
to work closely together by granting access to their mutually invisible components.
However, it should be used judiciously to maintain the integrity and encapsulation of
your classes
Question 8: Correct
in ABAP OO which of the following statements about Encapsulation is true?

Please choose the correct answer.

• It allows the internal state of an object to be changed directly

• It is used to create multiple instances of a class
• It exposes the implementation details of an object
• It protects an object's state by bundling methods and data together (Correct)

Explanation
Encapsulation in ABAP OO does indeed protect an object’s state by bundling methods
and data together. It is a mechanism of wrapping data and functions together, which
hides the data and function from the outside world, thus promoting data hiding. This
means obstructing the view of private data and functions from unwanted third parties,
and data abstraction means showing users only what they need to see.

Question 9: Correct
What does the ALV Grid Control provide In ABAP? Please choose the correct answer.
• An interactive and customizable table display(Correct)
• A tool for user authentication
• A method for data encryption
• A framework for mobile applications
Explanation
The ALV Grid Control is placed within a SAP GUI screen is up to you. You can, for
example, “dock” a control to an arbitrary side of a dynpro. The ABAP Workbench uses
this technique in combination with an ALV Grid Control to dynamically blend in
additional information — e.g., a global worklist that contains repository objects, or
syntax error messages belonging to the currently shown source code

Question 10: Correct

Which of the following are ABAP Cloud Development Model rules? There are 2 correct
answers to this question.
• Reverse modifications when a suitable public SAP API becomes available.
• Build ABAP reports with either ABAP List Viewer (ALV) or SAP Fiori.
• Build ABAP RESTful application programming model-based services. (Correct)
• Use public SAP APIs and SAP extension points. (Correct)
Explanation
The ABAP Cloud Development Model rules include:

Use public SAP APIs and SAP extension points: ABAP Cloud Development Model
mandates the use of public SAP APIs and extension points to allow automated cloud
operation.
Build ABAP RESTful application programming model-based services: The ABAP Cloud
Development Model leverages the ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model
(RAP) for building services.

So, using public SAP APIs and SAP extension points, and building ABAP RESTful
application programming model-based services are indeed rules of the ABAP Cloud
Development Model. These rules help ensure that the applications are cloud-ready and
can interact efficiently with other components in the SAP ecosystem

Question 11: Correct

In ABAP for SAP HANA Which of the following best describes the concept of 'Code-to-
Data'

paradigm?

Please choose the correct answer.

• Writing more code in the application layer to reduce database load

• Shifting data-intensive computations from the application server to the
database (Correct)
• Storing all code in the database for better performance
• Reducing the amount of code written for database operations
Explanation
The ‘Code-to-Data’ paradigm in ABAP for SAP HANA indeed refers to shifting data-
intensive computations from the application server to the database. This paradigm is a
programming style where data-intensive computations and calculations are pushed
down to the HANA DB layer, instead of bringing all the data to the ABAP layer and then
processing the data to do computations.

In the traditional programming approach, applications were designed to retrieve all the
data needed at once, and complex calculations and operations were then performed on
the internal tables in the application layer. However, with an in-memory database like
SAP HANA, it’s recommended to push more of the load of expensive calculation, data
processing, and mathematical operations to the database layer, since SAP HANA’s
capabilities and features enable applications to process data in real time.

The goal should be to bring back only the required details to the application server,
rather than moving a much larger volume of intermediate data and then calculating the
details in ABAP. This approach ensures that your applications consider SAP HANA’s
features to deliver applications with massive real-time data processing capabilities
Question 12: Correct
What is the role of SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) In the context of ABAP
Cloud? Please choose the correct answer.
• To provide a platform for building, extending, and integrating SAP
applications(Correct)
• To replace the need for an on-premise SAP system
• To serve as the primary database for SAP applications
• To manage SAP system upgrades and patches
Explanation
The SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) in the context of ABAP Cloud provides a
platform for building, extending, and integrating SAP applications.

SAP BTP is the technical foundation of the entire SAP ecosystem and plays a crucial
role for all SAP customers and partners1. It allows organizations to build a new cloud
solution or extend SAP systems. In other words, SAP BTP is a bundle of many different
services. Some of those services can be used for innovation and application
development, some services are purely for monitoring, some are databases as a
service, and some are runtimes as a service.

In particular, SAP BTP, ABAP Environment (known as “Steampunk”) lets you use your
ABAP know-how to develop and run ABAP applications in the cloud. It allows you to
focus on business logics, while BTP takes care of the technical aspects behind the
scenes.

So, providing a platform for building, extending, and integrating SAP applications is
indeed the role of SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) in the context of ABAP
Cloud

Question 13: Correct

Scenario: A company wants to analyze sales data across multiple

dimensions (e.g., time, region, product). Which ABAP CDS feature should be

used to efficiently model this requirement?

There are 3 correct answers to this question.

• Parameterized views
• Aggregation nodes
• Input parameters for dynamic filtering (Correct)
• Associations between views (Correct)
• Hierarchical views (Correct)
Explanation
When a company wants to analyze sales data across multiple dimensions (e.g., time,
region, product), the following ABAP CDS features can be used to efficiently model this
requirement:

Associations between views: Associations in CDS views allow you to navigate from one
view to another, and are used to model the relationships between different views. This
can be particularly useful when analyzing data across multiple dimensions.

Hierarchical views: Hierarchical views can be used to model data that is naturally
hierarchical. For example, time can be broken down into years, quarters, months, weeks,
and days. Similarly, a company’s organizational structure or product categories can also
be represented as hierarchies.

Input parameters for dynamic filtering: Input parameters in CDS views allow for dynamic
filtering of data. This means that the data returned by the view can be restricted based
on the values provided to these input parameters at runtime. This can be useful for
analyzing data across different dimensions based on various criteria.

So, all three statements you provided are correct features of ABAP CDS views that can
be used to efficiently model the requirement of analyzing sales data across multiple
dimensions.

Question 14: Correct

In SAP ABAP Which statement about ABAP Shared Objects is true?

Please choose the correct answer.

• They are only accessible within a single program.

• They are used to store user-specific data.
• They are memory areas shared by all users of an ABAP instance. (Correct)
• They are used for database storage.
Explanation
The statement “They are used for database storage” is not a correct description of
ABAP Shared Objects. ABAP Shared Objects are instances of classes or anonymous
data objects in shared memory. They reside in the application server and are accessible
to all the ABAP programs. They are used for cross-program data buffering and can be
used by any of multiple users, applications, or program sessions with programming
language support during development and at runtime. They provide a performance-wise
efficient way of sharing data between ABAP programs. So, the significance of ABAP
Shared Objects is that they provide an efficient way to share data between ABAP
programs by leveraging the capabilities of shared memory. They do not specifically
pertain to database storage.
Question 15: Correct
In SAP S/4HANA Cloud What is the purpose of the 'In-App Extensibility' framework?
Please choose the correct answer.
• To create standalone applications separate from the SAP system
• To allow modifications to the SAP core
• To manage the integration of third-party applications
• To enable users to extend and personalize applications within the SAP system
(Correct)
Explanation
The ‘In-App Extensibility’ framework in SAP S/4HANA Cloud is designed to enable users
to extend and personalize applications within the SAP system.

The term ‘In-app’ means that extensions are implemented within the S/4HANA Cloud
tenant itself. This framework allows key users to create fields, business logic, custom
business objects (CBO), and more. It is generally used to apply minor changes and
extensions, to increase user productivity or implement adaptations of the application
logic without changing the major parameters of the respective business processes.

In-app extensibility is a key capability that allows customers to differentiate with their
business processes and allows partners to provide industry-specific functionality or
globalization packages. So, enabling users to extend and personalize applications
within the SAP system is indeed the purpose of the ‘In-App Extensibility’ framework in
SAP S/4HANA Cloud

Question 16: Correct

in ABAP OO What is the significance of the 'Strategy' design pattern?

Please choose the correct answer.

• It defines a family of algorithms and makes them interchangeable (Correct)

• It is used to create a single instance of a class
• It optimizes the performance of database queries
• It is used for error handling and logging
Explanation
The ‘Strategy’ design pattern defines a family of algorithms and makes them
interchangeable. This allows the algorithms to vary independently from the clients that
use them. It is a behavioral design pattern that encapsulates different strategies for a
given problem and lets the client choose the appropriate one at runtime.

Some benefits of using the ‘Strategy’ design pattern are:

It promotes loose coupling between the context and the strategies

It improves code readability and maintainability by separating the concerns of different

algorithms
It enables easy testing and debugging of each strategy

It supports the Open/Closed Principle by allowing new strategies to be added without

modifying the existing code

Some examples of the ‘Strategy’ design pattern in ABAP OO are:

The CL_ABAP_SORTED_TABLE class, which allows different sorting algorithms to be

applied to a table

The CL_GUI_ALV_GRID class, which allows different layout options to be applied to an

ALV grid

The CL_SALV_TABLE class, which allows different output formats to be applied to a

SALV table

I hope this helps you understand the ‘Strategy’ design pattern better. 😊

If you want to learn more about ABAP OO design patterns, you can check out this
course on Udemy. It covers 23 design patterns with practical examples and exercises.
You can also take the practice tests on this web page to prepare for the ABAP Cloud
Back-End Developer Certification.

Question 17: Correct

In application development In ABAP RAP, how are 'Drafts' used? Please choose the
correct answer.
• To manage different versions of the application
• To create backup copies of the application
• To optimize the performance of database queries
• To temporarily store uncommitted changes (Correct)

Explanation
In ABAP RAP (Restful Application Programming Model), the With_Draft functionality is
used to handle draft data and enable the implementation of draft-enabled applications.

Question 18: Correct

Which keyword is used to define a method that can be overridden in a subclass in SAP
ABAP?

Please choose the correct answer.

• REDEFINITION (Correct)
• FINAL
• STATIC
• ABSTRACT
Explanation
The keyword REDEFINITION is used in ABAP to define a method that can be overridden
in a subclass. This keyword is used to redefine a method in a subclass that has been
inherited from a superclass. The redefined method can have the same parameters as
the inherited method, and it can provide a different implementation

Question 19: Correct

What is the benefit of using a hashed internal table in SAP ABAP?

Please choose the correct answer.

• It provides faster access for key-based reads (Correct)

• It automatically sorts the entries
• It consumes less memory than standard tables
• It allows duplicate keys
Explanation
A hashed internal table in ABAP provides faster access for key-based reads. Hashed
tables are preferred over other types of internal tables when there are large data sets
with lots of reads and a negligible number of writes. They are used to scale up codes to
prevent performance losses when high number of rows are stored in the internal tables.
Regardless of the number of table entries present, the response time for key access in a
hashed table remains constant

Question 20: Correct

In ABAP for SAP HANA, how does the 'ALV IDA (Integrated Data Access)' improve
reporting performance?

Please choose the correct answer.

• By processing data on the application server

• By caching data in the application layer
• By exporting data to external systems for analysis
• By utilizing the in-memory capabilities of HANA for data retrieval (Correct)
Explanation
The ‘ALV IDA (Integrated Data Access)’ in ABAP for SAP HANA improves reporting
performance by utilizing the in-memory capabilities of HANA for data retrieval.

ALV with IDA helps tables that contain very large quantities of data to be displayed on
the UI. The results of operations such as sorting, grouping, or filtering are also delivered
with a very fast response time1. It uses the in-memory database, such as SAP HANA,
without having to switch to a new programming environment.

In SALV with IDA, once the aggregation, filtering, the grouping is done in the HANA
database, only the resulted select query is transferred to the application layer. This
reduces the load on the application layer.
So, by leveraging the in-memory capabilities of HANA, ALV IDA can significantly
improve the performance of data retrieval and reporting in ABAP for SAP HANA. This
allows for faster and more efficient data processing, which is particularly beneficial for
handling large volumes of data

Question 21: Correct

In the Restful ABAP model, You need to display an error text. Where do you create it?
• In a text pool.
• In a global class.
• In a message class. (Correct)
• In a behaviour pool.

Question 22: Correct

In S/4HANA Cloud What is the key principle behind SAP's 'Clean Core' philosophy?
Please choose the correct answer.
• To perform all customizations at the database level
• To keep the core system free of modifications and custom code (Correct)
• To use only traditional ABAP for extensions
• To centralize all customizations in the core system
Explanation
The key principle behind SAP’s ‘Clean Core’ philosophy in S/4HANA Cloud is to keep the
core system free of modifications and custom code.

The ‘Clean Core’ approach aims to separate extensions from the core SAP application
and connect to business objects through stable interfaces. This ensures smooth
upgrades and extensions, preventing issues when moving from SAP S/4HANA on-
premise to the Cloud.

By keeping the core system clean, customers experience better maintainability, along
with lower total cost of ownership (TCO) for SAP S/4HANA Cloud. It also simplifies the
SAP upgrade processes in the future, reduces upgrade timelines, enables easier
extensibility, simplifies maintainability, and deployment process following the best
practices.

In summary, the ‘Clean Core’ philosophy is a crucial part of SAP’s strategy for S/4HANA
Cloud, aiming to provide a robust, flexible, and easily maintainable system that can
meet the unique needs of each customer while minimizing the need for custom code
and modifications
Question 23: Correct
For developing Fiori apps what is the primary advantage of using the ABAP RESTful

Application Programming Model (RAP)?

Please choose the correct answer.

• It requires extensive client-side scripting

• It provides a simplified model for handling OData services (Correct)
• It supports only traditional database models
• It eliminates the need for any backend development
Explanation
The ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model (RAP) provides a simplified model
for handling OData services. It offers developers an efficient way to build enterprise-
ready, SAP HANA-optimized, OData-based Fiori UI services and Web APIs in the cloud
as well as on-premise. RAP supports the efficient development of enterprise SAP Fiori
Apps and Web APIs intrinsically optimized for SAP HANA on SAP Business Technology
Platform (BTP) ABAP Environment – formerly known as SAP Cloud Platform ABAP
Environment – as well as on SAP S/4HANA, regardless of whether you want to start
from scratch (greenfield implementations) or reuse existing business logic (brownfield
implementations

Question 24: Correct

You have shortened the length of a field in a database table. The table already contains
data. What happens when you try to activate the table?

Please choose the correct answer.

• The table is activated with a warning that you may lose data.
• The table is not activated. (Correct)
• The table is activated
• The table is activated without any warning, and the data is automatically
truncated to fit the new field length.
Explanation
If you try to shorten the length of a field in a database table that already contains data,
the table will not be activated.

When you attempt to reduce the size of a data type of a column, the database scans
existing data and returns an error if data exists that exceeds the new length limit. This is
because the operation could potentially lead to data loss.

Therefore, if you need to shorten the length of a field in a table that already contains
data, you should first ensure that no existing data exceeds the new length limit.
Otherwise, the table will not be activated.
In summary, while it’s possible to modify the length of a field in a database table, care
must be taken when the table already contains data to avoid potential data loss

Question 25: Correct

In ABAP CDS Views Which of the following is a feature?

Please choose the correct answer.

• They support complex calculations and logic. (Correct)

• They can only be used in SAP GUI.
• They are independent of the underlying database.
• They are primarily used for updating data.
Explanation
They provide a framework for defining and consuming semantically-rich data models.
This means that you can use CDS, which is an enhancement of SQL, to structure your
data as needed. Additionally, they can use CDS to enrich their data with metadata using
annotations. A CDS View definition can contain associations to reflect the relations of
the data mode. They also support features like calculations, aggregations, more
variations of table joins, and they can also be stacked with each other. So, the
statement “They support complex calculations and logic” is a correct feature of ABAP
CDS Views.
Question 26: Correct
How do CDS Table Functions enhance the capabilities of ABAP CDS Views?

Please choose the correct answer.

• By allowing direct SQL scripting within CDS views (Correct)

• By providing a graphical interface for data modeling
• By supporting complex joins and unions
• By enabling real-time data replication
Explanation
CDS Table Functions enhance the capabilities of ABAP CDS Views by allowing direct
SQL scripting within CDS views.

CDS Table Functions are implemented natively on the database and can be called in
CDS. They support the HANA platform code pushdown capabilities in ABAP CDS. This
means that the data processing is pushed down to the database level, improving the
performance of applications.

A CDS Table Function is defined using the ABAP CDS statement DEFINE TABLE
FUNCTION and can be used as the data source in Open SQL read statements. Each CDS
Table Function includes the actual CDS entity of the table function that is generated in
the ABAP Dictionary and the CDS Table Function implementation (ABAP class library).
In contrast to the CDS views, the CDS Table Functions can be implemented using Native
SQL. This implementation is done within an AMDP method of an AMDP class and is
managed as an AMDP function by the AMDP framework in the database system.

CDS Table Functions can be consumed as data sources in other CDS views so that you
can add additional measures, fields to the definition. They behave like a table and can
be selected or joined in a CDS view like any table in the system.

In summary, CDS Table Functions provide a way to include complex logic that cannot be
achieved with standard CDS views, thereby enhancing the capabilities of ABAP CDS
Views

Question 27: Correct

In Object Oriented Programming Which of the following best describes 'Polymorphism'?
Please choose the correct answer.
• The ability of different classes to be treated as instances of the same class
through inheritance
• The process of breaking down a system into smaller, manageable parts
• The concept of hiding the internal state of an object and requiring all
interaction to be performed through an object's methods
• The practice of designing objects to share behaviours and to be able to
override shared behaviours with specific ones (Correct)
Explanation
‘Polymorphism’ in Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is indeed the practice of
designing objects to share behaviors and to be able to override shared behaviors with
specific ones.

In OOP, polymorphism describes situations where something occurs in several different

forms. It allows developers to access objects of different types through the same
interface. Each type can provide its own independent implementation of this interface.

Polymorphism allows us to perform a single action in different ways. In other words, it

allows you to define one interface and have multiple implementations. This becomes
particularly useful in large code projects, as it promotes flexibility and maintainability in
the code.

In summary, polymorphism is a core concept in OOP that allows objects to take on

many forms, enabling the same interface to be used to manipulate instances of
different classes
Question 28: Correct
Which extension type must you use if You want to enhance a business object to retrieve
a default company code that is selected from the database? Please choose the correct
answer.
• Action
• Validation
• Determination (Correct)
• Association
Explanation
If you want to enhance a business object to retrieve a default company code that is
selected from the database, you should use the ‘Determination’ extension type.

In ABAP OO, ‘Determinations’ are used to manage attributes of a given node. They can
also be used to create a custom determination to manage these attributes.
Determinations are triggered by certain events and are used to automatically calculate
or derive the value of one or more attributes.

In summary, ‘Determinations’ provide a way to enhance a business object to retrieve a

default company code that is selected from the database

Question 29: Correct

Which approach suits best when a company wants to extend their S/4HANA Cloud
system without disrupting the core and needs a robust solution for complex business
processes?

Please choose the correct answer.

• Modify the standard SAP code in the core

• Avoid any form of customization or extension
• Implement user exits in the S/4HANA system
• Use SAP BTP for Side-by-Side extensions (Correct)
Explanation
Using SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) for Side-by-Side extensions is indeed
the right approach when a company wants to extend their S/4HANA Cloud system
without disrupting the core. This approach is particularly beneficial when the company
needs a robust solution for complex business processes.

SAP BTP provides the ability to create decoupled extensions (side-by-side) of the core
system using lifecycle-compliant methods (using only allowed APIs which ensure an
upgrade-safe method)4. These extensions are developed with various tools and
services of the SAP BTP and offer more flexibility than in-app extensions.

This approach aligns with the “Clean Code Paradigm”, which states that customers
should aim to keep the “core system”, e.g., an S/4 HANA (Cloud) system, clean, without
putting all the extensions directly in there, and instead building the extension on the SAP
BTP and integrating the “core” systems via APIs

Question 30: Correct

What is the purpose of the ABAP Test Cockpit (ATC)?

Please choose the correct answer.

• To monitor system performance

• To perform static code checks and unit tests (Correct)
• To manage database transactions
• To deploy applications to the SAP Cloud Platform
Explanation
The ABAP Test Cockpit (ATC) is the standard tool for checking the quality of ABAP
development objects using static checks and ABAP unit tests. It is directly integrated
with ABAP workbench and ABAP Development Tools for Eclipse, allowing users to
check their codes from within the development environment. It can check ABAP
programs for many types of problems like syntax errors, performance issues, adherence
to standards, errors in ABAP Unit testing, and many others. So, its purpose is indeed to
perform static code checks and unit tests.

Question 31: Correct

Using SAP BTP for extending S/4HANA Cloud Which of the following is a benefit of?
Please choose the correct answer.
• Reduced need for system upgrades
• Direct access to modify core SAP code
• Elimination of the need for testing
• Ability to build and run custom applications (Correct)
Explanation
Yes, the ability to build and run custom applications is indeed a benefit of using SAP
Business Technology Platform (BTP) for extending S/4HANA Cloud.

SAP BTP offers services, tools, and capabilities to develop, extend, or integrate business
applications in the cloud2. This integration provides businesses with the ability to use
SAP BTP to extend and customize their S/4HANA Cloud solutions, which can result in
increased productivity, efficiency, and cost savings.

Furthermore, you can implement additional workflows or modules on top of existing

solutions, which lets you benefit from out-of-the-box security, inherited data access
governance, user interface embedding, and so on.

So, the ability to build and run custom applications is a significant advantage of using
SAP BTP for extending S/4HANA Cloud. It allows for greater flexibility and
customization to meet specific business needs.
Question 32: Correct
In ABAP for SAP HANA What is the significance of 'ALV IDA' (ALV with Integrated Data
Access)?

Please choose the correct answer.

• It enables efficient data display by leveraging the power of the HANA database
(Correct)
• It is used for legacy system migration
• It is a tool for database administration
• It provides a framework for building web applications
Explanation
According to the web search results, ALV IDA (SAP List Viewer with Integrated Data
Access) is a special version of the List Viewer that helps tables that contain very large
quantities of data to be displayed on the UI. The results of operations such as sorting,
grouping, or filtering are also delivered with a very fast response time. It uses the in-
memory database, such as SAP HANA, without having to switch to a new programming
environment. There is no change in the user interface and standard functions (also ALV
services) of the ALV.

Question 33: Correct

In ABAP SQL statements for SAP HANA What is the role of 'Database Hints'? Please
choose the correct answer.
• To optimize query execution plans (Correct)
• To enforce database security policies
• To manage database connections
• To translate ABAP code to SQL
Explanation
‘Database Hints’ in ABAP SQL statements for SAP HANA are used to optimize query
execution plans.

Database hints are instructions for the SAP HANA database server which influence the
way a database request is processed. They can be used to specify certain access paths,
overriding the SQL Optimizer’s determination. This can help improve the performance of
the database system when selecting a secondary index. So, optimizing query execution
plans is indeed the role of ‘Database Hints’ in ABAP SQL statements for SAP HANA

Question 34: Correct

In CDS In the context of ABAP on HANA What is the advantage of using Advanced View
Building techniques? Please choose the correct answer.
• To enable direct update of database tables
• To create complex UI designs
• To manage database transactions
• To build sophisticated data models leveraging database capabilities (Correct)
Question 35: Correct
What is the significance of the 'Eclipse-based ABAP Development Tools' (ADT) In ABAP
for SAP HANA?
• They are used for database administration tasks.
• They replace the SAP GUI for all development tasks.
• They are used exclusively for frontend development.
• They provide an integrated environment for ABAP development. (Correct)
Explanation
The ‘Eclipse-based ABAP Development Tools’ (ADT) in ABAP for SAP HANA provide an
integrated environment for ABAP development.

The ABAP Development Tools for SAP NetWeaver (ADT) enable ABAP developers to
perform development tasks using the ABAP application server capabilities in an Eclipse-
based IDE or on the classic ABAP Workbench. They offer failover-safe online
development in multiple AS ABAP systems, advanced source code editing and
refactoring support, powerful search and navigation capabilities, ideal support for task-
oriented and test-driven development, and built-in extensibility by rich extension points.
In particular, ABAP development tools for Eclipse enable you to perform ABAP-based
development tasks when you want to build, extend, and run ABAP applications based on
SAP products, such as SAP S/4HANA and SAP S/4HANA Cloud, private edition for
classic ABAP development as well as SAP BTP, ABAP environment and SAP S/4HANA
Cloud for Cloud development. So, providing an integrated environment for ABAP
development is indeed the significance of the ‘Eclipse-based ABAP Development Tools’
(ADT) in ABAP for SAP HANA.

Question 36: Correct

A single row from a database table reads which statement?

Please choose the correct answer.

• READ TABLE <tablename> ...

• READ TABLE <tablename> WITH TABLE KEY ...
• SELECT SINGLE <tablename> ... (Correct)
• SELECT <tablename> ...

Explanation
The SELECT SINGLE <tablename> ... statement in ABAP is used to read a single row
from a database table. This statement can be optimized for reading a single row, which
means it is generally somewhat faster than when using the addition UP TO 1 ROWS. The
SELECT SINGLE statement is designed to pass exactly one row to a flat structure as a
work area without opening a loop that must be closed using ENDSELECT or ENDWITH.
Usually, the row must be identified exactly, and it must be specified uniquely in the
WHERE condition
Question 37: Correct
What is the purpose of the 'GROUP BY' clause in an Open

SQL SELECT statement In SAP ABAP?

Please choose the correct answer.

• To specify the columns to be returned

• To sort the result set
• To combine rows that have the same values in specified columns (Correct)
• To limit the number of rows returned

Explanation
The ‘GROUP BY’ clause in an Open SQL SELECT statement in SAP ABAP is used to
combine rows that have the same values in specified columns. It groups rows that have
the same content in the columns or that have the same result in the SQL expressions
into a single row. This can considerably reduce the volume of data that has to be
transported from the database to the application server. So, the statement “To combine
rows that have the same values in specified columns” is a correct purpose of the
‘GROUP BY’ clause in an Open SQL SELECT statement in SAP ABAP.

Question 38: Correct

What is the role of the ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model In ABAP Cloud?
Please choose the correct answer.
• To provide a framework for building efficient, cloud-ready applications
(Correct)
• To perform database migrations
• To manage cloud infrastructure
• To handle user authentication and authorization

Explanation
The ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model (RAP) in ABAP Cloud provides a
framework for building efficient, cloud-ready applications.

RAP defines the architecture for efficient end-to-end development of intrinsically SAP
HANA-optimized OData services (such as Fiori apps) in ABAP Cloud. It supports the
development of all types of Fiori applications as well as publishing Web APIs.

RAP is based on technologies and frameworks such as Core Data Services (CDS) for
defining semantically rich data models and a service model infrastructure for creating
OData services with bindings to an OData protocol and ABAP-based application
services.

In summary, the ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model plays a crucial role in
ABAP Cloud by providing a standardized development flow based on Core Data
Services (CDS), the ABAP language, and business services. This allows developers to
build innovative, cloud-ready SAP Fiori applications, local and Web APIs, and to easily
extend SAP standard applications on the ABAP platform, in the cloud as well as on-
premise

Question 39: Correct

What is the correct syntax for calling method b With the following class definition?

(Note: lo_a is a reference variable for class ZCL_A.)

CLASS zcl_a DEFINITION PUBLIC.

PUBLIC SECTION.

CLASS-METHODS b.

ENDCLASS.

Please choose the correct answer.

• zcl_a->b( ).
• lo_a->b( ).
• lo_a=>b( ).
• zcl_a=>b( ). (Correct)

Explanation
The syntax you provided, zcl_a->b( ), is used for calling instance methods, not class
methods1. In your class definition, b is defined as a class method. Class methods are
called using the class name and the static component selector =>. Therefore, the
correct syntax for calling the class method b in class ZCL_A would be ZCL_A=>b( ). So,
the statement “zcl_a->b( )” is not the correct syntax for calling the class method b in
class ZCL_A

Question 40: Correct

In ABAP for HANA?What is the advantage of using Core Data Services (CDS) views?

Please choose the correct answer.

• They provide a graphical interface for database design

• They are used to create web-based applications
• They replace the need for SQL in ABAP
• They enable complex calculations and logic to be executed in the
database(Correct)
Explanation
While it’s true that Core Data Services (CDS) views in ABAP for HANA provide an
enhancement of SQL, they do not completely replace the need for SQL in ABAP. CDS
views are used to define semantically rich data models and user-defined types in the
database. They provide several advantages such as:

Pushing data-intensive calculations into the database layer.

Supporting view-building functionality which was not provided by open SQL.

Allowing queries to be combined, for example, UNION, UNION ALL.

Supporting view on view and view extensions.

Being fully integrated with ABAP structure.

So, while CDS views provide an enhancement of SQL and offer capabilities beyond
traditional data modelling tools, they do not replace the need for SQL in ABAP.
Therefore, the statement “They replace the need for SQL in ABAP” is not a correct
advantage of using Core Data Services (CDS) views in ABAP for HANA.
