• Key Concepts: 
  RAP (RESTful ABAP Programming) is an object-oriented programming model that enables developers to create and consume RESTful services in SAP. It provides a set of APIs and tools to create, deploy, and manage RESTful services in SAP. The RAP object is the main object used to define the service and its operations. It contains the metadata for the service, such as the service name, version, and operations. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the RAP object, developers must first create a service definition in the SAP system. This is done by creating a RAP object in the ABAP Workbench. The RAP object contains all of the necessary information about the service, such as its name, version, and operations. Once the RAP object is created, developers can then use it to define the operations of the service. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a RAP object, it is important to ensure that all of the necessary information is included. This includes the service name, version, and operations. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all of the operations are properly defined so that they can be consumed by other applications.
