Overview

Master the ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model (RAP) to build scalable, full-stack business applications in SAP S/4HANA. This advanced course equips you with the tools and techniques to architect clean, maintainable solutions using CDS views, behavior definitions, EML (Entity Manipulation Language), and SAP Fiori Elements. You'll use Eclipse IDE and SAP Business Application Studio to create enterprise apps that follow modern SAP development practices. Module 1 introduces RAP architecture, behavior layers, metadata extensions, and managed scenarios. You’ll learn to preview Fiori apps within your development flow. Module 2 focuses on real-world business logic—implementing determinations, validations, actions, and side effects for responsive, rule-based behavior. Module 3 covers CRUD operations using EML, ABAP unit testing, and unmanaged scenarios, followed by deployment to the SAP Launchpad. By the end, you will... -Develop full-stack SAP S/4HANA apps using the RAP model -Define behavior-driven business logic and implement validations and actions -Use EML for backend operations and write automated unit tests -Deploy complete applications to the SAP Fiori Launchpad with clean architecture Disclaimer: This course is an independent educational resource developed by Board Infinity and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or officially associated with SAP SE or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.

Syllabus

RAP Fundamentals

This module introduces learners to the foundational concepts of the ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model (RAP). Learners will explore the RAP architecture, understand the differences between managed and unmanaged scenarios, and build their first RAP application. It also includes hands-on practice using Business Configuration Management tools and previewing a fully functional Fiori app enabled with CRUD operations.

Advanced RAP Features

This module dives deeper into advanced RAP capabilities, enabling learners to enrich business applications with dynamic behaviors. Topics include determinations, validations, and the implementation of custom actions to automate or enforce business rules. Learners will also explore dynamic feature control, manage side effects, and implement early numbering strategies—all crucial for creating robust, user-friendly enterprise-grade applications.

Important Concepts in RAP

This final module focuses on essential tools and patterns that complete the RAP development lifecycle. Learners will gain hands-on experience with Entity Manipulation Language (EML), ABAP Unit Testing, and both managed and unmanaged scenarios. The module also includes guidance on wrapping up RAP projects, building Fiori apps using Business Application Studio (BAS), and understanding real-world deployment and certification pathways—equipping learners for advanced enterprise application development in SAP S/4HANA.
