Program Overview: What is SAP ABAP for S/4HANA and RAP?
SAP ABAP for S/4HANA & RAP is Edstellar's instructor-led program for ABAP developers moving from classic ABAP to modern S/4HANA development. It covers S/4HANA architecture, modern ABAP language essentials, RAP data modeling and business objects, RAP behavior and services, and testing, quality, and performance. Participants learn to build transactional apps the RAP way, end to end.
Training is code-driven from the first module, with guided labs in a live S/4HANA environment. Participants model business objects with RAP, implement behavior, expose services, and consume them in UIs. Instructors review code live, coaching on clean ABAP patterns, ABAP Unit testing, ATC quality gates, and HANA performance tuning. The final five hours are a capstone build: a complete end-to-end RAP application.
Developers stuck in classic ABAP write code that S/4HANA tolerates but never rewards: slow reads, fragile enhancements, and testing as an afterthought. Every shortcut lands in production as technical debt. This program teaches teams to develop natively for S/4HANA: CDS-based models, behavior-driven RAP objects, and quality gates that run before code ships.
The capstone is a genuine end-to-end RAP application: your team designs the data model, implements business behavior, exposes OData services, and wires up a consuming UI, all tested with ABAP Unit and cleared through ATC. Instructors critique the architecture the way a lead developer would, and the team leaves with a working application plus the RAP patterns to repeat the build on their own systems.
Across 24 instructor-led hours, learners practice testing with ABAP unit, enforce quality with ATC, tune performance for S/4HANA data volumes, and finish with a capstone: a complete, working RAP application built to clean-core standards.
