SAP ABAP and BIBW

This course is designed to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of SAP ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming) and SAP BW (Business Warehouse), two of the most important technologies within the SAP ecosystem for enterprise resource planning (ERP) and data warehousing.

In this course, you will gain the skills needed to develop custom applications using ABAP, SAP’s programming language, and work with SAP BW to manage, analyze, and visualize large volumes of business data for decision-making. You’ll dive deep into both the technical aspects of SAP ABAP programming and the functionalities of SAP BW for extracting, transforming, and loading (ETL) data, designing reports, and creating dashboards.

This course is ideal for those aiming for careers in SAP development, SAP BW consultants, or anyone interested in working with the SAP ecosystem to build data-driven business solutions.

By the end of the course, you’ll have a solid foundation in SAP ABAP and SAP BW, and be prepared to implement real-world solutions within an enterprise environment.

What You’ll Learn

SAP ABAP Development

  Learn the basics of ABAP programming, including its syntax, data types, and control structures. You’ll gain hands-on experience in developing simple reports and programs within the SAP environment.
• ABAP Workbench and Tools
  Explore the ABAP Workbench, the development environment used for creating, testing, and deploying ABAP programs. You’ll learn to use tools like the ABAP Editor, Function Builder, and Data Dictionary to design and maintain applications.
• Internal Tables and Data Handling
  Master the concept of internal tables, one of the core data structures in ABAP, and learn how to manipulate large data sets efficiently. You’ll understand the role of work areas, loops, and sorting mechanisms to process data effectively.
• SAP Function Modules and BAPIs
  Learn how to use SAP function modules and BAPIs (Business Application Programming Interfaces) to interact with SAP standard functionalities, extending your programs and integrating with other SAP applications.
• ABAP Reports and Smart Forms
  Discover how to create interactive and printable reports in ABAP, using both classical and ALV (ABAP List Viewer) reporting techniques. Learn how to design custom Smart Forms for printing invoices, delivery notes, etc.
• Modularization and Error Handling
  Learn how to write reusable, maintainable code using modularization techniques like function modules, methods, and classes. Understand how to implement error handling mechanisms using exception classes and messages.
• Enhancements and User Exits
  Explore user exits and BADI (Business Add-In) to customize standard SAP functionality without modifying core SAP code. This is key for implementing custom logic while preserving SAP updates and upgrades.

SAP BW (Business Warehouse)
