Advanced Business Application Programming.

ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming, originally Allgemeiner Berichts-Aufbereitungs-Prozessor, German for "general report creation processor"[3]) is a high-level programming language created by the German software company SAP. It is currently positioned, alongside the more recently introduced Java, as the language for programming the SAP Application Server, part of its NetWeaver platform for building business applications.

ABAP IN HANA

SAP HANA is an in-memory, column-oriented, relational database management system developed and marketed by SAP SE. HANA's architecture is designed to handle both high transaction rates and complex query processing on the same platform

SAP - ABAP OBJECTS

In the R/3 product from the German software company, SAP, ABAP Objects is a programming language and part of the ABAP Workbench that allows developers to create and run applications that contain program objects. ABAP Objects includes a virtual machine that will run applications compiled with ABAP Objects language. Like similar object-oriented programming languages, ABAP Objects supports the concepts of class objects, class and subclass inheritance, and polymorphism.

SAP - UI5

SAPUI5 (SAP user interface for HTML 5) is a collection of libraries that developers can use to build desktop and mobile applications that run in a browser. With SAP's SAPUI5 JavaScript toolkit, developers can build SAP web applications using HTML5 web development standards.

SAP Fiori, the company's line of web-based apps that have a device-agnostic user interface (UI ), have all been built using SAPUI5. There is also an open-source version of SAPUI5, called OpenUI5

SAP - Web Dynpro

Web Dynpro (WD) is a proprietary web application technology developed by SAP SE that focuses on the development of server-side business applications. One of its main design features is that the user interface is defined in an entirely declarative manner.

The earliest version of Web Dyn in 2003 and was based on Java. This variant was released some 18 months before the ABAP variant.

The Java variant of Web Dynpro experienced limited commercial success, and as of 2010, has been placed in maintenance. This means that the existing product is supported to the extent that any bugs are fixed; however, no new functionality will be added. SAP's development effort is now focused on the ABAP variant of Web Dynpro.

WD follows a design architecture based on an interpretation of the MVC design pattern and uses a model driven development approach ("minimize coding, maximize design").

Business Server Pages

BSP is an object-oriented, repository-based development environment using ABAP and/or JavaScript. It supports the complete development and lifecycle of enterprise applications, and allows a user to develop new kind of enterprise web applications known as BSP applications. The core parts of these applications are the Business Server Pages (BSP) and MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) objects.

The structure of a BSP application involves:

1. Business Server Pages.
2. MIME objects.
3. Theme.
4. Application Class.
5. Controllers.
6. The Navigating Structure.

SAP Business Workflow

Can be used to define business processes that are not yet mapped in the R/3 System. These may be simple release or approval procedures, or more complex business processes such as creating a material master and the associated coordination of the departments involved. SAP Business Workflow is particularly suitable for situations in which work processes have to be run through repeatedly, or situations in which the business process requires the involvement of a large number of agents in a specific sequence.

You can also use SAP Business Workflow to respond to errors and exceptions in other, existing business processes. You can start a workflow when predefined events occur, for example an event can be triggered if particular errors are found during an automatic check.
