Develop custom LiveCache applications

[Former Member]

Hello,

just another question regarding LiveCache: is it possible to develop my own, customer-specific LiveCache applications (LCA)? From the presentations available here on SDN, I've learned, that SAP's LCA are developed in an object-oriented way using C+. These classes are compiled as libraries that the server loads during the startup process. Furthermore, you have to develop database procedures that make use of these C+ classes in order to implement the business logic (I hope that's right).

Is there a possibility to develop my own business object, using C++, and compile them as library so that I can use them in my own database function? Or doesn't SAP offer this possibility to its customers?

If it's possible, where could I find more information about the custom development of LiveCache applications?

Kind regards,

Lars

There is no such functionality open to customers (yet).

Because of that you'll find no specific information on how to develop, monitor and debug such coding.

There are some basic functions available to create in-db-process libraries for MaxDB, but even this API is not well documented yet.

So - currently - the answer remains: the development and maintenance of LCAPPS like c++ libs is limited to the SAP developers.

regards,

Lars
