S/4HANA - ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model (RAP)
Building Managed and Unmanaged RAP Applications in S/4HANA

S/4HANA - ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model (RAP) udemy course
Building Managed and Unmanaged RAP Applications in S/4HANA
The SAP RESTful Application Programming (RAP) course is designed to provide learners with comprehensive knowledge and hands-on experience in building sophisticated, enterprise-ready applications using SAP’s new RESTful ABAP programming model.
RAP is a modern approach to developing both transactional and analytical applications on the ABAP platform.
This course will equip participants with the skills to design, develop RESTful applications, ensuring they are well-versed in building scalable and maintainable solutions in an SAP environment.
Participants will learn the fundamental concepts of RAP, understand its architecture, and explore how to build end-to-end applications using this framework. By the end of the course, learners will be able to implement RAP applications in SAP S/4HANA making them capable of handling complex enterprise use cases.
