Overview

This video introduces SAP ABAP on Cloud, focusing on the Restful Application Programming (RAP) model and embedded Steampunk training. It targets ABAP consultants, solution architects, and scrum leads looking to upskill for cloud-based SAP development. The training covers setting up the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) ABAP environment, building applications using CDS entities, and implementing both unmanaged and managed RAP scenarios. A key demonstration showcases building an IPL auction data dashboard using an overview page application, highlighting the power of RAP for creating modern, data-driven Fiori applications. The session also clarifies prerequisites, server access (free trial), and differentiates RAP from CAP, emphasizing the necessity of prior ABAP and CDS view knowledge.
