ABAP Programming

This course introduces the architecture of SAP systems and the role of NetWeaver in enterprise resource planning (ERP). Students explore core modules in SAP ERP and how they interconnect to manage business processes. Topics include system landscape, client-server architecture, and SAP user interfaces. The course provides a foundation in how SAP integrates finance, logistics, and human resources. By the end of the course, students will understand the context in which ABAP programs operate and the technical infrastructure behind SAP systems.

Students are introduced to the fundamentals of ABAP programming, including syntax, data types, and control structures. The course emphasizes procedural programming and covers loops, conditions, and subroutines. Students write simple programs using input/output statements and learn to interact with SAP’s development environment. Topics also include naming conventions, comments, and execution flow. By course end, learners can write basic ABAP code and understand where it fits in SAP development.

This course covers SAP’s Data Dictionary and modular programming in ABAP. Students will learn to define tables, views, data elements, and domains using transaction code SE11. Modularization techniques such as includes, function modules, and subroutines are introduced to improve code reusability. The course also covers table relationships, foreign keys, and lock objects. By the end of the course, students will be able to structure their programs and define custom data structures within SAP.

Students learn to work with internal tables for data storage and manipulation in memory. Topics include table types, sorting, reading, and modifying table entries. The course covers classical and interactive report generation, using events such as START-OF-SELECTION and AT LINE-SELECTION. Emphasis is placed on retrieving and displaying data from SAP tables. Students build interactive reports with user input and formatted output.

This course introduces object-oriented principles in ABAP, including classes, objects, inheritance, and interfaces. Students learn to encapsulate logic and structure programs using modern ABAP approaches. Topics include global and local classes, visibility levels, and polymorphism. The course uses real-world scenarios to implement reusable, maintainable code. By the end of the course, learners can write robust OOABAP applications.

Students learn to debug and optimize ABAP programs using SAP’s integrated development tools. Topics include breakpoints, watchpoints, the ABAP Debugger, and performance trace tools like ST05. Common performance issues and optimization strategies such as buffering, indexing, and loop tuning are explored. Emphasis is placed on writing efficient code and interpreting system logs. This course prepares students to identify and resolve programming bottlenecks.

This course introduces the ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model (RAP) used in SAP S/4HANA and cloud development. Students learn to build OData services and use behavior definitions for CRUD operations. Topics include CDS views, service definitions, and managed/unmanaged scenarios. Labs focus on developing lightweight, decoupled applications using ABAP RAP. By the end of the course, students will be able to build service-enabled applications for SAP Fiori.

Students explore techniques for integrating ABAP with other SAP modules and external systems. Topics include BAPIs, RFCs, IDocs, and web services. The course also covers user roles, authorizations, and security best practices in ABAP development. Emphasis is placed on secure communication and access control. Students gain experience in configuring system interfaces and managing secure data exchange.

This course focuses on deploying ABAP applications in cloud environments such as SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP). Students learn about ABAP environment setup, service provisioning, and lifecycle management in the cloud. Topics include Git integration, CI/CD pipelines, and multi-tenant architectures. Labs guide students through building and deploying cloud-native ABAP applications. This course prepares learners for modern SAP cloud development.

This course prepares students for the SAP Certified Associate – Back-End Developer (ABAP Cloud) exam. Key topics such as RAP, CDS views, debugging, and performance optimization are reviewed. Students complete practice questions, mock exams, and lab exercises aligned with certification objectives. Emphasis is placed on applying theoretical knowledge in exam scenarios. By the end, learners will be well-prepared to sit for SAP’s official certification.

In this final course, students will develop a complete ABAP application simulating real-world business requirements. The project includes creating custom tables, developing logic with modularization or OOABAP, generating reports, and exposing the application via RESTful APIs. Students will integrate their solution with SAP modules or external data sources. The project is documented and presented as a professional portfolio piece. This course allows learners to demonstrate end-to-end proficiency in ABAP development.
