Is there any official SAP Documentation about RAP Facades?

[DiegoValdivia]

Hi,

· While reading document “Extend SAP S/4HANA in the cloud and on premise with ABAP based extensions”( https://www.sap.com/documents/2022/10/52e0cd9b-497e-0010-bca6-c68f7e60039b.html), I saw that, on page 21, it’s mentioned that we developers must substitute BAPIs with RAP Facades.

Based on this, could you confirm if there’s some official SAP document about RAP Facades? I mean, some document where SAP explains their function and most of all, how to use them in the real world to substitute BAPIs.

I've gone through the most recent posts about RESTful Application Programming Model, as well as posts about Embedded Steampunk, but haven't found any detailed documentation about RAP Facades.

Thanks.

Hello Diego,

Released SAP RAP BO Interfaces are referred to as RAP Façades. Similar to the facade of a building, they represent the exterior of the given application. Released RAP BO Interfaces provide stable local API-based access to the RAP-based SAP applications.

For more information, see Business Object Interface Consumption in the RAP Development Guide: https://help.sap.com/docs/btp/sap-abap-restful-application-programming-model/business-object-interfa...

Kind regards,
Carine
