Introduction

RAP in SAP ABAP RAP stands for RESTful Application Programming Model. Before we start with SAP ABAP RAP Interview Questions, let us understand what this article is all about.

Since we know SAP Fiori applications are based on the SAP ABAP programming model that provides flexibility and efficient modeling, it also lacks certain criteria like simplicity. Here RAP model is the one that overcomes all the flaws. This model provides an intrinsic approach to building SAP Fiori-based applications that are optimized enough for S/4 HANA. These applications can run on-premise as well as on the cloud.

This RAP programming model uses the ABAP programming methodology. It uses the following:

1. ADT: ABAP Development Tools in Eclipse. It is used to develop tasks.
2. CDS: Core Data Services in Eclipse. It is used for the implementation of the business object layer.
3. New Framework: It is used to handle business logic.

This article will discuss all types of interview questions asked by interviewers in their selection process. Before starting with the interview questions, go through the SAP ABAP RAP course here.
