The SAP S/4HANA BTP RAP Training course is a comprehensive, hands-on program designed to help ABAP developers transition into modern, cloud-ready application development using SAP Business Technology Platform and the ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model (RAP). This course starts by strengthening foundational skills in ABAP Objects, OData services, and CDS views, ensuring learners are well prepared to adopt RAP-based development
You will gain a clear understanding of SAP BTP architecture, including Cloud Foundry runtime, ABAP Environment, extension strategies, and integration with SAP S/4HANA. The training then dives deep into RAP architecture and model-driven development, guiding you through the creation of data models, service definitions, bindings, and UI annotations for read-only and transactional applications.
A major portion of the course focuses on managed transactional RAP applications, where you learn to design business objects, implement create and update operations, enable value help, define actions and messages, apply draft handling, and manage concurrency control. Advanced topics such as composite RAP business objects, authorization checks, dynamic feature control, side effects, virtual elements, and performance best practices are covered in detail.
The course also includes Entity Manipulation Language (EML) for CRUD operations, development of unmanaged RAP applications to reuse legacy logic, and integration scenarios using BTP connectivity, destinations, API management, and Cloud Connector. You will further explore Fiori Elements development in BAS and key-user extensibility, including custom fields, logic, and reusable business objects.
By the end of this course, learners will be able to design, build, secure, and optimize enterprise-grade RAP applications on SAP BTP, aligned with SAP’s clean core and extensibility principles.
