RAP200 – Explore ABAP Cloud Features in a Guided Scenario (Focus: RAP)

Description

This repository contains the material for the hands-on session RAP200 – Explore ABAP Cloud Features in a Guided Scenario (Focus: RAP).

This hands-on workshop allows developers to explore various ABAP Cloud features, especially within the ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model (RAP), through a guided scenario:

• ADT wizard "From Scratch OData UI Service" to build RAP service, with and without AI support from scratch - *Focus on Plain wizard
• Collaborative draft, enabling multiple users to work on the same RAP business object instance simultaneously
• Event-driven RAP side effects, allowing specific fields to be updated without reloading the entire data whenever a defined business event is raised
• Use of the Background processing framework (bgPF) to asynchronously trigger an external process within a RAP BO
• Read-only RAP Analytical table to provide a data visualization in SAP Fiori, supporting set of structured data and multiple aggregation options

Level

🧑‍🎓 Intermediate.

Overview

^Top of page

In this hands-on workshop, you will build and enhance a Travel Processing application using the ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model (RAP). You will generate a transactional UI service, enhance it with business logic, add collaborative draft handling, implement event-driven side effects, and create a read-only analytical table.

🔵 Click to expand!

In this workshop, you will:

• Generate a transactional OData-based UI service using the RAP Generator
• Enhance the RAP Business Object with determinations, actions, and dynamic feature control
• Add collaborative draft handling to the Travel application
• Implement event-driven side effects
• Create a read-only RAP Analytical Table for reporting

The RAP Business Object consists of two entities:

• Travel (root entity)
• Booking (child entity)

🏁 Resulting apps:

Transactional Travel Processing App (Exercise Blocks A + B)
Read-only Travel Reporting App (Exercise Blocks A + C)
