#ModernABAP #ABAPCloud Over time, business trends began to change and the market evolved significantly with cloud and mobile applications in the digital infrastructure. And now, when the recognized best practice for programming is the ABAP programming model for SAP Fiori, I look back and see an evolution in several areas in SAP. And it will continue, because the future programming model, called the ABAP RESTful programming model, is ready. From the point of view of an SAP traveler, many tools arrived, several techniques were developed and new concepts emerged in the context of interface, infrastructure and integration in SAP. The purpose of this post is to share the most used programming instructions (now called expressions) but there are many more and more complex depending on the needs. https://lnkd.in/gUzqVBBs

Let us explore a few basic aspects of SAP RAP, What is RAP? ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model or Framework helps ABAP developers create transactional business applications or Web APIs using OData Services and extend the standard solutions provided by SAP. RAP is an advanced version of the BOPF framework. With the advantages of Fiori Elements, we are able to create full-stack applications with a minimal amount of UI coding. Where is RAP available? It is available in: - BTP ABAP Environment - SAP S/4HANA Cloud (Public & Private) - SAP S/4HANA On-premise (from the 1909 version) What are the prerequisites to learn RAP? - Sound knowledge of CDS views & OOABAP - Basic Understanding of OData Services What is ABAP Cloud? ABAP Cloud supports only RAP. It follows clean core principles, is cloud-ready, and is upgrade-stable. ABAP Cloud & RAP may seem similar, but it is more than that. It contains: - Reusable libraries such as XCO, Application Jobs - Integration support for OData, HTTP, RFC services - Tools such as ADT & BAS - AbapGit, IAM, gCTS and lot more.. Feel free to share your thoughts or ideas on these points. I’d love to hear your feedback! 😀 #saprap #abapcloud #sapbtpabap #ABAPRESTfulApplicationProgrammingModel

Finally finished all of the learnings! Great to be looking at the full stack development again, along with all the associated technologies in SAP BTP! You can view my verified achievement from SAP. #SAPLearning #SAPCertification

What is the reason I’d go choose SAP ABAP in BTP for custom ABAP development? SAP's push towards a clean core strategy significantly highlights the use of ABAP on the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP), often referred to as "Steampunk". It’s a crucial step not just for system upgrades and modifications but also opens the door to a world of innovation and efficiency. But the benefits don't stop there. There are other benefits too but I’m going to highlight a couple of them here. Transitioning to the Cloud with ABAP Expertise The move to cloud development is made significantly smoother with the expertise of our ABAP talent pool. These ABAP champions are well-equipped to navigate the transition to new toolsets on BTP, illustrating that leveraging existing skills in new environments can lead to seamless innovation. Easy Access to APIs and SDKs Integration with external APIs and SDKs, such as those offered by AWS and Microsoft for ABAP, marks a significant advantage. While it's true that current systems provide access, the shift to BTP embodies a cultural change toward utilizing readily available resources. As more SDKs become available, being prepared to integrate them quickly and efficiently will be a game-changer. The journey with ABAP in BTP is not just about adhering to a clean core but about embracing a future where integration and leveraging existing developments become second nature. Modernizing your IT landscape involves switching to modern development architectures and tools. Switching to ABAP in BTP takes you one step closer to that goal. #ABAP #SAPBTP #CloudDevelopment #ICremencingSolutions #SAPCommunity

Done Certification in Provision Users into your SAP BTP ABAP Environment

Usage of ABAP Test Cockpit in the Cloud for On-Premise Development Using the remote code analysis with the central ABAP Test Cockpit (ATC) check system is the essential prerequisite for static quality assurance of your private cloud (or on-premise) developments. While keeping in mind SAP alignment on cloud strategy, we decided to enable central ATC quality checking for on-premise developments using the SAP BTP ABAP Environment. #customcode #cleancore #ABAP #BTP

ABAP Test Cockpit in the Cloud – How to schedule ATC runs Another good article from Olga Dolinskaja explaining how to schedule mass ABAP Test Cockpit (ATC) to run on SAP BTP via Application Jobs using a predefined custom code analysis application job template.

The ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model (RAP) is a programming model that helps developers build SAP Fiori apps and services. It's available on SAP BTP ABAP Environment, SAP S/4HANA, and cloud and on-premise editions.  Below are some of the features which are required to build once you are building a RAP object.

#SAPTechEd Keynote announcements for app dev: SAP Build Code is getting extended to cover ABAP Cloud (AI-generated code!) for both on-stack and SBS dev. Also uses BAPIs to connect GA in Q1/2025 Extensibility Wizard for Public Cloud is getting released - generate CDS models with Joule, extend S/4 in a guided manner. Pretty cool - launched straight from the app (assume you'll need some dev roles) ABAP Cloud projects can now be managed inside SAP Build Lobby - interesting, although it then jumps to ADT - is Eclipse going to go away in the future? ;-) "Innovating while keeping the core clean has never been so easy" ;-) SAP has their own ABAP LLM trained on 250 million lines of S/4HANA code -> this has potential in my opinion!!
