• Key Concepts: 
  RAP (RESTful ABAP Programming Model) is an SAP technology that enables developers to create and consume RESTful services in ABAP. The RAP interaction phase is the process of exchanging data between the client and the server. It consists of four steps: request, response, error handling, and notification. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The RAP interaction phase is used to send and receive data between the client and the server. The client sends a request to the server, which then responds with a response. If an error occurs, the server will send an error message back to the client. Finally, the server can also send notifications to the client. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using RAP, it is important to ensure that all requests are properly formatted and that all responses are handled correctly. Additionally, it is important to be aware of any errors that may occur during the RAP interaction phase and how to handle them appropriately.
