Each application can create its own classes. For convenience, each behavior pool contains a predefined local exception class CL_ABAP_BEHV_MSG inherited from CX_NO_CHECK that implements IF_ABAP_BEHV_MESSAGE in a minimalistic way. It can be used for RAP messages as well as for raising exceptions where appropriate.

• Key Concepts: 
  RAP message is a type of message used in the BC-ESI-RAP RESTful ABAP Programming Model. It is a lightweight, asynchronous messaging protocol that enables communication between different components of an SAP system. It is based on the Representational State Transfer (REST) architecture and uses the JSON format for data exchange. 
  
  How to use it: 
  RAP messages are used to send and receive data between different components of an SAP system. They are sent using the HTTP protocol and can be used to trigger events, send notifications, or exchange data between different components. The messages are sent asynchronously, meaning that the sender does not need to wait for a response before continuing with other tasks. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When sending RAP messages, it is important to ensure that the message is properly formatted and contains all the necessary information. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the message is sent securely, as it contains sensitive data.
