What is SAP ABAP Cloud and RAP Training?
SAP ABAP Cloud and RAP training teaches you the current ABAP development model, which is materially different from classic ABAP. You cover the ABAP Cloud language subset and why it exists, released APIs and the clean core principle, CDS view entities and associations, the RESTful Application Programming model with managed and unmanaged scenarios, behaviour definitions and implementations, draft handling, service definitions and bindings to OData V4, Fiori Elements consumption, ABAP Unit testing, and the extensibility tiers for on-stack and side-by-side development. It maps to the C_ABAPD_2507 associate exam.
What you get
- Explain ABAP Cloud, released APIs and the clean core rules
- Build CDS view entities with associations and annotations
- Design a RAP business object and choose the right scenario
- Implement determinations, validations and actions

Testing, quality and delivery
Ship code that survives upgrades and reviews.
- ABAP Unit test structure
- Test doubles and the test double framework
- Testing RAP business objects
- ATC checks and the ABAP Cloud profile
- Code review expectations for RAP
- abapGit and transport considerations
- Performance tracing and SQL monitoring
- Documentation and handover for RAP objects
Projects you will build
CDS data model
Build a layered CDS model with basic, composite and consumption views, associations and access controls, then expose it for analytics.
Managed RAP application
Build a draft enabled managed business object with determinations, validations and a custom action, exposed through OData V4 to a Fiori Elements list report and object page.
Unmanaged scenario and tests
Implement an unmanaged business object over existing legacy tables, then write ABAP Unit tests with test doubles and clear ATC under the ABAP Cloud profile.
Tools you will use
- ABAP Development Tools (Eclipse)
- The only environment for ABAP Cloud and RAP development, used throughout.
- CDS view entities
- The modern data modelling layer, replacing classic views for new development.
- Behaviour definition and implementation
- The RAP artefacts where business logic lives.
- Service bindings and preview
- Publishing OData and testing it without building a full app first.
- ABAP Unit and test doubles
- Automated testing, which RAP makes practical in a way classic ABAP rarely did.
- ABAP Test Cockpit
- Static checks including the ABAP Cloud readiness profile.

What learners say
I had been writing ABAP for eleven years and RAP genuinely required relearning. This was the course that made it click, particularly unmanaged scenarios.
Draft handling is where every tutorial hand-waves. Building it properly and then debugging it was worth the whole course.
We now use the clean core decision framework from module one as our own review checklist.

What a day looks like
- Feature work
- Extending a RAP business object with a new action, validation or field, and the UI annotation that exposes it.
- Clean core reviews
- Deciding whether a requirement can use a released API or genuinely needs an extension, and documenting the decision.
- Debugging
- Tracing a Fiori Elements behaviour back through the service binding, the behaviour implementation and the CDS model.
- Test maintenance
- Keeping ABAP Unit tests green, which is now a normal expectation rather than optional.
- Remediation
- Assessing classic ABAP against the ABAP Cloud profile and planning what changes.
