The "TLA" is a Three Letter Abbreviation that appears in ABAP class names, data dictionary objects and other ABAP objects throughout the AWS SDK for SAP ABAP. The TLA for AWS Billing and Cost Management Dashboards is BCD. This TLA helps squeeze ABAP objects into the 30-character length limit of the ABAP data dictionary.

Installation

To install the AWS SDK for SAP ABAP, import the Core transport, along with the transport for the BCM Dashboards module and other API modules you are interested in. A few modules are included in the Core transport itself. For more information, see the Developer Guide guide.

About The Service

Amazon Web Services Billing and Cost Management Dashboards is a service that enables you to create, manage, and share dashboards that combine multiple visualizations of your Amazon Web Services cost and usage data. You can combine multiple data sources including Cost Explorer, Savings Plans, and Reserved Instance metrics into unified dashboards, helping you analyze spending patterns and share cost insights across your organization.

You can use the Amazon Web Services Billing and Cost Management Dashboards API to programmatically create, manage, and share dashboards. This includes creating custom dashboards, configuring widgets, managing dashboard permissions, and sharing dashboards across accounts in your organization.

Using the SDK

In your code, create a client using the SDK module for AWS Billing and Cost Management Dashboards, which is created with factory method /AWS1/CL_BCD_FACTORY=>create(). In this example we will assume you have configured an SDK profile in transaction /AWS1/IMG called ZFINANCE.

DATA(go_session)   = /aws1/cl_rt_session_aws=>create( 'ZFINANCE' ).
DATA(go_bcd)       = /aws1/cl_bcd_factory=>create( go_session ).

Your variable go_bcd is an instance of /AWS1/IF_BCD, and all of the operations in the AWS Billing and Cost Management Dashboards service are accessed by calling methods in /AWS1/IF_BCD.
