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.
Requirements
- SAP 7.4
- abapGit
- Eclipse + UI5/ADT Tools
How to run it?
- Create a new ABAP class which inherits the class
z_sy_feature (see examples/z_xx_feature.abap).
- Define new feature via class attribute
- Toggle feature via the transaktion
z_sy_feature (opens UI5 frontend)
- Check if feature is enabled by checking if
z_sy_feature=>feature_xx = abap_true
:warning: Features should never be enabled in production system!
Examples
