Featuretoggle

A feature toggle framework for ABAP that ships an unfinished feature to production deactivated: toggles declared as class attributes, branched on in code and switched in a UI5 GUI.

A class inherits from z_sy_feature and declares a toggle as a class attribute; code checks it by testing whether z_sy_feature=>feature_xx is abap_true and branching on the answer. That is what the framework is for: continuously delivering a potentially unfinished feature into the production system in a deactivated state. The repository ships both halves: the ABAP backend, installed from /src/abap/ with an ICF node to activate, and a UI5 frontend deployed as its own BSP application and opened through transaction z_sy_feature, which is where a toggle is flipped.

Featuretoggle

A simple, lightweight feature toggle framework for ABAP

What is it?

With this framework you can toggle features in ABAP-Code at runtime. This enables you to continuously deliver (potentially unfinished) Features in a deactivated state into the production system. This repository includes the ABAP backend and a UI5 GUI to manage toggle states.

Featuretoggle Gui

Requirements

  • SAP 7.4
  • abapGit
  • Eclipse + UI5/ADT Tools

How to run it?

  1. Create a new ABAP class which inherits the class z_sy_feature (see examples/z_xx_feature.abap).
  2. Define new feature via class attribute
  3. Toggle feature via the transaktion z_sy_feature (opens UI5 frontend)
  4. Check if feature is enabled by checking if z_sy_feature=>feature_xx = abap_true

⚠️ Features should never be enabled in production system!

Examples

see /examples

ToDo
  • Change repository structure for easy cloning
  • Import UI5-GUI via abapGit

Installation

Install ABAP Backend
  1. Checkout/clone subfolder /src/abap/ via abapGit
  2. Check transaction SICF if node /default_host/sap/bc/sy_feature was created
  3. Activate node /default_host/sap/bc/sy_feature
  4. Check if feature is enabled by checking if z_sy_feature=>feature_xx = abap_true
Installation UI5 Frontend
  1. Checkout/clone subfolder /src/ui5/
  2. Import project into Eclipse
    • choose File->Import->Existing Projects into Workspace
    • choose cloned project folder
    • import project
  3. Link projekt to a new BSP-Container in your SAP-System
    • right click the newly created project and choose Team->Share Project
    • choose SAPUI5 ABAP Repository
    • choose the connection to your SAP-System
    • choose "Create a new BSP Application" and fill out the required fields (name must be z_sy_feature)
  4. Deploy UI5 App to your SAP-System
    • right click the project and choose Team->Submit
    • select all objects
