• Key Concepts: 
  RAP lock dependent entity is a concept used in the BC-ESI-RAP RESTful ABAP Programming Model. It is an entity that is dependent on a RAP lock, which is a mechanism used to ensure that only one user can modify an entity at a given time. This prevents data corruption and ensures that all changes are made in the correct order.
  
  How to use it: 
  When working with RAP lock dependent entities, it is important to ensure that the RAP lock is acquired before any changes are made. This can be done by using the GET_LOCK method of the RAP Lock Manager class. Once the lock has been acquired, the entity can be modified and then the lock must be released using the RELEASE_LOCK method.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When working with RAP lock dependent entities, it is important to ensure that the lock is released as soon as possible after the changes have been made. This will help to prevent unnecessary delays in other users being able to access and modify the entity.
