ABAP_RAP - Field Extension
This example demonstrates how extension fields are added and behavior- enabled in a RAP BO extension scenario.

Original RAP BO
DDIC data model
The DDIC data model consists of one database table: DEMO_ROOT_EXT:
DDIC DEMO_ROOT_EXT
This database table includes structure DEMO_EXTENSION.
DDIC DEMO_EXTENSION
CDS data model
The CDS data model consists of one root entity without child entities: DEMO_RAP_FIELD_EXT:
DDLS DEMO_RAP_FIELD_EXT
CDS transactional interface
The following CDS transactional interface is created as stable public interface for extensions:
DDLS DEMO_RAP_FIELD_EXT_INT
Behavior definition
The RAP behavior definition DEMO_RAP_FIELD_EXT is defined in RAP BDL as shown below. It defines global authorization control and adds field attributes to multiple fields.
BDEF DEMO_RAP_FIELD_EXT
Behavior implementation
For the RAP behavior definition, one ABAP behavior pool (ABP) is created. The global class of the behavior pool is BP_DEMO_RAP_FIELD_EXT, see BP_DEMO_RAP_FIELD_EXT=========CCIMP. This global class implements two methods:
get_instance_features: Implements dynamic feature control for field DataField: If field CharField has value A, then field DataField is read-only. If field CharField has any other value, then field DataField can be accessed without any restrictions.
get_global_auth: Defines global feature control for the complete RAP BO: Update requests are generally authorized and delete requests are generally unauthorized.
RAP BO Interface
The following RAP BO interface is used as stable public interface for extensions.
BDEF DEMO_RAP_FIELD_EXT_INT

Extension RAP BO
DDIC data model extension
Extension fields are added to the DDIC data model via the structure extension DEMO_EXTEND_STR:
DDIC DEMO_EXTEND_STR
CDS data model extension
The extension fields are added to the CDS data model via the CDS view entity extension DEMO_EXTENSION_RAP_BO :
DDLS DEMO_EXTENSION_RAP_BO
CDS transactional interface extension
The extension fields are added to the CDS transactional interface by means of an entity extension DEMO_RAP_TI_FIELD_EXT :
DDLS DEMO_RAP_TI_FIELD_EXT
BDEF extension
The BDEF extension DEMO_EXTENSION_RAP_BO adds field attributes to the extension fields using the BDEF interface.
BDEF DEMO_EXTENSION_RAP_BO
ABP extension
The ABP extension is implemented in the global class BP_DEMO_EXTENSION_RAP_BO, see BP_DEMO_EXTENSION_RAP_BO======CCIMP. This global class implements dynamic feature control for the extension field NumFieldExt: If the value of field IntFieldExt is greater than 1000, then field NumFieldExt is read-only. If the value of field IntFieldExt is less than or equal to 1000, access to field NumFieldExt is unrestricted.

ABAP_DESCRIPTION
Access with ABAP using EML
The source code above uses ABAP EML to access the RAP business object from an ABAP class:
It inserts two entity instances using MODIFY ENTITIES CREATE.
It updates both entity instances using MODIFY ENTITIES UPDATE.
For the entity instance with key value 1, both fields DataField and NumFieldExt are dynamically set to read-only by the field feature control. These two fields are not updated, but error messages are returned.
Execution order for CREATE:
Global authorization control specified in the original ABP.
Execution order for UPDATE:
Global authorization control specified in the original ABP.
Field feature control specified in the original ABP.
Field feature control specified in the extension ABP.
