In this article, we will look at how we can define our own units in the system and then connect them to our #RAP application: software-heroes.com/en/blog/abap...

I released a ABAP MCP Server to use in Eclipse; blog.zeis.de/posts/2026-0...

In this article, we'll restructure our #RAP application's data model and change how we handle text. We'll use augmentation to ensure our data model remains complete: software-heroes.com/en/blog/abap...

In this episode, we create our new document app using generators to create the data model and then to create the #RAP object: youtu.be/Y2pZTyj54hg

How can you work with even greater type precision in a Core Data Service when creating an element in the view? To find out, we'll look at typed literals and how they can help you in everyday use: software-heroes.com/en/blog/abap...

What do ABAP dinosaurs and modern development on the Business Technology Platform have in common? Let's explore this topic together with the AI moderators and see what they have to say about the last article. Video: youtu.be/2HjgjHkphl4 Podcast: open.spotify.com/episode/1LDg...

There's constant discussion about #RAP, CAP or both, but what about the business side? Besides the features, what other requirements and points should you consider? software-heroes.com/en/blog/cap-...

In this episode, we look at the modeling of a Consumption View and examine various aspects such as functions, associations, session variables, and virtual fields: youtu.be/pgy1KSDn2s0

If we have implemented virtual fields in an entity in the #ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model, how can we actually use sorting? Let's take a look at the process: software-heroes.com/en/blog/abap...

Representing an entire entity in a single field? This is possible with the Multi-Input Field. Today we'll look at this feature in #ABAP for #RAP development and explore the various scenarios: software-heroes.com/en/blog/abap...

In this example, we will look at how to create a reusable generator using the XCO library to save ourselves some work for our tutorials and to automatically generate DDIC objects: software-heroes.com/en/blog/abap...

This blog shows why Embedded analytics in #SAP S/4HANA is the modern replacement for legacy reporting tools like SE16N/SQ01. Embedded analytics uses #CDS Views on #SAP HANA to deliver real-time, secure, and reusable reporting via #Fiori apps, Excel, SAC: software-heroes.com/en/blog/the-...

Now that we've finished the Configuration API, let's take a look at unit tests and how we can automatically test our API. This will save us the effort of manual testing later on: youtu.be/IvezVeG_Uws
