Course announcements

  • This course is a deep dive into the ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model. The primary focus lies on the transactional behavior of business objects and their consumption in OData UI services.
  • You will learn to define business objects which consist of just one data node, as well as business objects consisting of a hierarchy of nodes.
  • When implementing the transactional behavior, you will first use the generic data access layer (managed approach). Later you will also integrate existing legacy code (unmanaged or partially managed approach).
  • You will draft-enable your business object and produce and consume business events. Finally, you will enable the extensibility of your business object and learn how to extend existing business objects.
  • The course is held on SAP BTP, ABAP environment. However, most of the content is equally suitable for SAP S/4HANA cloud editions and SAP S/4HANA 2020 or later. Some features shown in the course may not be available in older SAP S/4HANA releases.
