Sync current sources: clean RAP handover names, app rebind, tooling

Working-tree state as of 2026-09-29, uncommitted since the initial
"upload current sources" commit:

- docs/handover/rap/: renamed the 11 generator-suffixed sources
  (zz*000) to the clean object names built on the tenant, plus the
  A2X leg and parameter-entity edits.
- app/: manifest, annotations, i18n, mock data and local/mock ui5
  configs updated to the live service shape.
- PRD.md, CHANGELOG.md, KNOWLEDGE.md: build record through
  2026-09-19, including the rejected reentrance-ticket path.
- tools/adt-reentrance-login/: retained login helper (new).
- docs/v2/zui_arena_change_appr_o4.metadata.xml: captured live
  $metadata (new).
- Dropped a stray 0.3GB-class Eclipse installer that the initial
  commit had tracked under a URL-mangled filename, and the
  machine-specific 0M7DEJI.code-workspace.

SRVB creation validate the referenced object's ACTIVE version, so create
and activate DDLS/SRVD sources first. ATC via MCP rejects RONT/NONT.
- [2026-09-16] **An expired VS Code ADT logon shows up in the ADT MCP only as
"Your user was logged off."** `abap_list_destinations` still lists the
destination and `get_object_type_details` still returns field metadata,
so neither proves a live session. **ADT for VS Code logs on to S/4HANA
Cloud with a reentrance ticket and a localhost redirect:** it opens
`https://<tenant>/sap/bc/adt/core/http/reentranceticket?redirect-url=http://localhost:<port>/adt/redirect`,
and after SSO the tenant redirects to
`http://localhost:<port>/adt/redirect?…&reentrance-ticket=<ticket>`
(observed 2026-09-16). The ticket in that URL is a live logon credential:
never paste it into chats, logs or files. The same mechanism is the
plausible browser-free login path for `abap-adt-mcp` (OQ-9). **Tested
2026-09-18: it does not work.** With a freshly captured reentrance
ticket, `https://my431353.s4hana.cloud.sap/sap/bc/adt/core/discovery`
and an ABAP class source URL answered HTTP 200 with the same 3094-byte
SAML redirect page (`SAMLRequest`, `saml2`) for all of: `Cookie:
MYSAPSSO2=<ticket>`, header `MYSAPSSO2: <ticket>`, and no credential at
all, with and without `?sap-client=080`. A reentrance ticket is
therefore neither a logon-ticket cookie nor an assertion-ticket header
here; ADT exchanges it some other way. Do not spend more on
`abap-adt-mcp`'s `sso2` mode without first capturing what the extension
actually sends. `abap_creation-run_validation` is the
cheapest read-only liveness check (it answers "… validation failed: Your
user was logged off."). Fix it by logging on to the destination again in
VS Code; the MCP port and token stay the same unless VS Code reloads
(live 2026-09-16, ~1.5 h after the last successful call).
- [2026-09-16] **Ask the ADT MCP for name limits and package existence; do
not guess them.** `abap_creation-get_object_type_details` returns each
type's create fields and `maxLength`: `TABL/DT` 16, while `DDLS/DF`,
`SRVD/SRV`, `SRVB/SVB` and `BDEF/BDO` allow 30 (the generator's `APPRVL`
truncation came from that 30 limit). `abap_creation-run_validation` is a
read-only way to check that a package exists: a missing package answers
"Package '<name>' does not exist" [source: adt-mcp on 0M7DEJI, verified
2026-09-16]. The Claude Code session does not expose the adt-mcp tools
unless the server was up at session start. A JSON-RPC probe over
`http://127.0.0.1:2236/mcp` with the `.mcp.json` bearer token works for
read-only checks in the meantime.
- [2026-09-16] **In the VS Code ADT workspace, the `.json` file in an object
folder is header metadata, never the source.** A table folder holds
`zchangeapproval.tabl.json` (formatVersion, description, originalLanguage,
`abapLanguageVersion`) and `zchangeapproval.tabl.ddic` (the Dictionary DDL
source). Paste into `.ddic`, and activate through the `.tabl.ddic` URI
(live, "Activation successful."). For objects created with
`create_object`, the returned `filePath` names the source file: DDLS
`.ddls.acds`, DCLS `.dcls.acds`, BDEF **`.bdef.abdl`** [source: adt-mcp
abap_creation-create_object / abap_activate_objects on 0M7DEJI, verified
2026-09-16]. The `.tabl.json` / `.bdef.json` activation URIs recorded on
2026-09-15 were generator objects; trust the returned `filePath` over
that table. BDEF activation through `.bdef.abdl` is proven (U6, live).
- [2026-09-16] **A managed `strict ( 2 )` BDEF activates before its
behavior pool class exists** (`ZR_CHANGEAPPROVAL`, "Activation
successful.", with no class `ZBP_R_CHANGEAPPROVAL` yet) [source: adt-mcp
abap_activate_objects on 0M7DEJI, verified 2026-09-16]. Once the class
exists, activate BDEF and class together. `abap_activate_objects` returns
only "Activation successful." with no warnings on success. On failure it
lists messages with line and column but no severity (U13 SRVD,
2026-09-16), so read severity in the editor. Service definitions
report "Comments are not supported and will be deleted on save" for a
leading block comment, and **that message blocks activation**: the same SRVD failed with a
19-line `/* */` header and activated without it (live 2026-09-16; the
DCLS, DDLX and BDEF headers did not block). The language allows comments
[source: abap-docs /abap-docs-cloud/ABENCDS_GENERAL_SYNTAX_RULES,
verified 2026-09-16], so this is the tooling. Keep SRVD sources free of
comments. `abap_atc_get_result` returned only totals for a run with 43
infos (UI leg), but per-object `findings[]` (priority, check class,
message id and title, quick-fix flags) for a run with a priority-3
warning (worker leg). Expect details for warnings and errors at least
(both runs live 2026-09-16). A projection BDEF over a view with
`@AccessControl.authorizationCheck: #CHECK` raises SLIN W607 (+BDL 549)
"should be replaced with #MANDATORY" (priority 3; it does not block
activation). An OData V4 **Web API** binding reports
`bindingCategory: "1"` (UI: `"0"`) in `fetch_services`.
- [2026-09-16] **OData V4 identity on a RAP UI service: the binding name is
only the URL's first segment.** For definition `ZUI_ARENA_CHANGE_APPROVAL`
and binding `ZUI_ARENA_CHANGE_APPR_O4`, the live `$metadata` uses
namespace `com.sap.gateway.srvd.zui_arena_change_approval.v0001`, from the
**service definition**, and entity type `ChangeApprovalType`, with a
`Type` suffix and no underscore (live 2026-09-16,
`docs/v2/zui_arena_change_appr_o4.metadata.xml`). The earlier assumption
that the namespace carries the binding name and a `_Type` suffix was
wrong. RAP also emits `__OperationControl` with
`Core.OperationAvailable Path="_it/__OperationControl/<action>"` for
`features : instance` actions, `SAP__Messages`, `Nullable="false"` on
non-key elements, and `cast( case … as abap_boolean preserving type )`
surfaces as `Edm.Boolean` (INT1 literals as `Edm.Byte`, `utclong` as
`Edm.DateTimeOffset Precision="7"`). Copying `$metadata` from Chrome's
XML tree view decodes `&amp;` to `&`; use `view-source:` or re-escape.
- [2026-09-16] **Live RAP `$metadata` works verbatim as Fiori mock metadata**
(`@sap-ux/fe-mockserver-core` 1.7.15 serves it and accepts `$select` on
`__OperationControl/approve`). Mock rows must then carry
`__OperationControl`, or the enablement paths resolve to nothing. The
app's ESLint config checks only TS/JS, so run `npx @ui5/linter` for UI5.
The fiori-mcp `list_functionality` for `app/` offers only
add/delete page and controller extension, so dataSource and annotation
edits are made directly. The cached `@ui5/manifest` 1.89.0 schema
rejects the generator's manifest `_version: "2.11.0"`; that is not a
defect in the app.
- [2026-09-16] **A published custom UI service answers on the UI host, not the
`-api` host, for a business user.** `fetch_service_information` reports
the service URL on `my431353-api.s4hana.cloud.sap` (with
`sap-client=080`), but a browser business-user call there is refused as
"Forbidden / blocked by UCON". The same path on
`my431353.s4hana.cloud.sap` returns `$metadata` for the developer user,
before any IAM app exists (live 2026-09-16). The `-api` host is the
communication-user entry point (communication arrangement), so the
worker's A2X service goes there through a custom communication scenario
(V-2), never the UI service. After publishing, ADT for VS Code reports
"<binding> published locally".
- [2026-09-16] **In ADT for VS Code, publishing a service binding is a code
lens, not a button or a palette command.** Open the binding's `.srvb.json`
source and click the **Publish** code lens; Unpublish and Preview… work the
same way [source: sap-docs sap-help loio dd6f5de63e7245a7abe7e39389841596
"ABAP RAP Tools", verified 2026-09-16]. The extension (1.1.2) contributes
no publish command, and the SAP ADT MCP has no publish tool. `create_object` for a class returns only the global
`.clas.abap` path, no local-types (CCIMP) path.
- [2026-09-16] **`abap-adt-mcp` 2.1.0 auto-detects a browser for SSO only on
macOS.** `detectBrowser()` checks `SAP_BROWSER_PATH` and then three
`/Applications/…` paths; otherwise it throws "No Chrome/Edge/Brave found
for SSO login" (`dist/lib/browserLogin.js:38-50`, read 2026-09-16). On
this Linux host the server env must carry
`SAP_BROWSER_PATH=/usr/bin/google-chrome` along with the desktop display
variables. Login harvests the HttpOnly `MYSAPSSO2`/`SAP_SESSIONID` cookies
over the Chrome DevTools Protocol (`puppeteer-core`). `listSystems` needs
no SAP call and is the safe first probe of its policy. **Its SSO does not
work from a remote shell:** there is no localhost redirect (SAML returns
to the tenant), and the sign-in must be typed into the server-side Chrome
window (`headless: false`, profile
`~/.abap-adt-mcp/sso/<host>`, `--remote-debugging-port=0`, 300 s timeout).
Over multi-hop SSH neither the desktop nor a DevTools relay is reachable in
practice. Do the first sign-in at the server's desktop; with "stay signed
in" later logins should complete unattended (unverified, 2026-09-16).
- [2026-09-16] **Create fields for the remaining RAP types (`get_object_type_details`
on 0M7DEJI):** `CLAS/OC`: packageName, name (≤30), description, optional
superclass, interfaces. `DCLS/DL`: packageName, name (≤30), description,
optional `protectedEntity`. `DDLX/EX`: packageName, name (≤**40**),
description, optional `extendedEntity` [source: adt-mcp
abap_creation-get_object_type_details on 0M7DEJI, verified 2026-09-16].
Pass `protectedEntity` / `extendedEntity` so the editor starts from the
right skeleton. DCLS creation does **not** require the protected entity to
be active. `ZC_CHANGEAPPROVAL_A2X` access control validated and was
created while its DDLS was still empty and never activated (unlike
BDEF/SRVB creation). `SRVB/SVB` `bindingType` values are exactly `OData
V2 - UI`, `OData V2 - Web API`, `OData V4 - UI`, `OData V4 - Web API`,
whatever label the release notes use [source: adt-mcp
abap_creation-run_validation / create_object /
get_object_type_details on 0M7DEJI, verified 2026-09-16].
- [2026-09-16] **Service binding names: SAP Help says 26 characters, the
ADT MCP allows 30.** The 26-character limit appears on the ABAP Cloud,
SAP Cloud Platform and ABAP Platform 2021 "Creating Service Binding"
pages [source: sap-docs sap-help loio 4bad0d7280b742a68dd2d42b1441f09a,
verified 2026-09-16]. `get_object_type_details` reports 30 for
`SRVB/SVB`, and the `x-ui-service` generator itself emits 29–30-character
bindings, which activated unpublished on `my431353` on 2026-09-15.
Whether publishing accepts more than 26 is unknown. Stay at 26 or fewer
rather than find out after a whole BO leg. The generator does not keep to
the documented limit, which is one more reason not to use it for names
that ship.
- [2026-09-16] **In an OData V4 binding URL
`/sap/opu/odata4/sap/<binding>/srvd/sap/<alias>/0001/`, the second
segment is the binding's service name (alias), not necessarily the
service definition name. It can be renamed only while the binding is
unpublished** [source: sap-docs community-14433266 "How to rename an
OData V4 service?", verified 2026-09-16]. Check it before publishing.
- [2026-09-16] **CDS CASE results take the longest branch type, and untyped
integer literals are typed INT1..INT8 by value** [source: abap-docs
/abap-docs-cloud/ABENCDS_CASE_EXPRESSION_V2, ABENCDS_UNTYPED_LITERAL_V2,
verified 2026-09-16]. A text CASE over status codes becomes CHAR(n) of
the longest literal, and a 0–5 criticality becomes INT1. Cast
explicitly when the OData type matters.
- [2026-09-16] **The `ui5-mcp-server` linter cannot see this repo.** The
server is reached over SSE on `mcp.alexzaw.dev`, and `run_ui5_linter` on
`app/` fails with `ENOENT: realpath '/home/alexz/…/arena-plm/app'`
(live 2026-09-16). Its doc/API tools work; its file-based tools
(linter, manifest validation, project info) do not. For real UI5 code
changes, lint locally (`npx @ui5/linter` inside `app/`) or run the
server where the files are.
- [2026-09-16] **The Fiori mock server does not simulate bound actions.**
Without a per-entity `webapp/localService/mainService/data/<Entity>.js`
exporting `executeAction`, `@sap-ux/fe-mockserver-core` 1.7.15 returns
the action data unchanged
(`node_modules/@sap-ux/fe-mockserver-core/dist/mockdata/fileBasedMockData.js:547-549`,
read locally 2026-09-16). Status transitions can be shown only against
the live RAP service, or with a hand-written mock handler.
- [2026-09-16] **Cast the whole CASE to a data element, never each
branch.** "If a data element is specified for `dtype`, the result …
inherits the semantic properties of the data element. An exception to
this is the use of the `CAST` expression within a case distinction."
Write `cast( case … end as abap_boolean preserving type )`.
`PRESERVING TYPE` requires an exact match of built-in type and length
[source: abap-docs /abap-docs-cloud/ABENCDS_CAST_EXPRESSION_V2, verified
2026-09-16]. To guarantee that length, use typed literals in the branches
(`abap.char'X'`, `abap.char' '` are CHAR(1)): an untyped character
literal's length is only "at least as large as the actual length of the
literal" [source: abap-docs /abap-docs-cloud/ABENCDS_TYPED_LITERAL_V2,
ABENCDS_UNTYPED_LITERAL_V2, verified 2026-09-16]. `ABAP_BOOLEAN` is CHAR 1
[source: abap-docs /abap-docs-standard/ABENDATAOBJECTS_TRUE_VALUE_GUIDL,
verified 2026-09-16]. The same caveat means a CASE over untyped status
literals is not provably CHAR(n) of the longest literal.
- [2026-09-16] **`sap-released-objects` has no `SRVB` object type for
public_cloud**, the same gap as `DDLS` (use `CDS_STOB` for views). Binding
release questions cannot be answered from that server.
- [2026-09-15] **Developer business catalogs: `SAP_A4C_BC_*` is the Public
Cloud / BTP ABAP family; `SAP_A4_BC_*` is on-premise / Private Cloud.** On
`my431353` the developer role carries the A4C catalogs (e.g.
