In this exercise we will change data and test the live data connection in SAP Analytics Cloud.
In order to create and change the transactional booking data we will use a transactional app that is delivered as part of the ABAP Flight Reference Scenario for the ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model. This transactional app offers draft capabilities and it uses the OData V4 protocol. Draft-enabled applications provide the end user with the highest flexibility when working with the app. It especially ensures that when working with several users in parallel that changes that are performed by one user cannot be changed by another user as long as this data is in draft mode. Only after the data is persisted on the database and the lock has been released other users will be able to perform additional changes.
The app will be started in the preview mode from within ADT. Using the app you will create new travel and booking data for one agency that you have selected as a filter in the previous exercise.
