open-table-maintenance

A low-footprint table maintenance in ABAP, served over HTTP for one table whose name is fixed in the code, running on-premise, in "Steampunk", on open-abap and on Cloud Foundry.

Gives a single table a maintenance application without generating one: zcl_otm_table_maintenance is created with the table name, and its serve method takes a request's method, path and body and returns the body, content type and status, which an ICF handler on-premise or an HTTP service in "Steampunk" passes back. The README lists where it works: open-abap, "Steampunk", embedded "Steampunk", on-premise from v740 SP05 with an automatic downport it says should also reach 702, and the SAP BTP Cloud Foundry environment, where it is built and deployed as a multi-target app and opened under /abap/. It is installed with abapGit or by copying the code into a system.

Not for a table whose contents matter, and not for one chosen at run time: the name of the table is fixed in the calling code, and the maintainer's own warning is "only hardcode the table name, don't use with important tables, use at own risk!"
