• Key Concepts: 
  RAP buffer data is a feature of the BC-ESI-RAP RESTful ABAP Programming Model. It is a buffer that stores data from an external service, such as a web service, and makes it available to the ABAP program. This allows the program to access the data without having to make a separate call to the external service. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use RAP buffer data, you must first create a buffer in your ABAP program. This can be done using the CREATE_BUFFER method of the CL_RAP_BUFFER class. Once the buffer is created, you can then use the PUT_DATA method to store data from an external service in the buffer. Finally, you can use the GET_DATA method to retrieve the data from the buffer and use it in your program. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using RAP buffer data, it is important to remember that the data stored in the buffer will only be available for a limited amount of time. Therefore, it is important to ensure that your program retrieves and uses the data as soon as possible after it has been stored in the buffer.
