Master's in ABAP for HANA

Turn your ABAP into high-performance ABAP. S/4HANA projects are not asking for "someone who knows ABAP": they want developers who can push the logic down to the database with the new ABAP SQL, CDS and AMDP.

This program takes you from classic ABAP to the code pushdown paradigm in 10 fully hands-on classes on real systems: you model, expose, measure and optimize, and you finish with a final project that proves what you have learned.

  • 10 live 90-minute classes, one per week
  • 1st edition: THURSDAYS, from September 17 to November 19, 2026
  • 2nd edition: TUESDAYS, from April 27 to June 29, 2027 (note: the weekday changes compared to the 1st edition)
  • Schedule designed for LATAM (afternoon) with recordings to follow on demand from Spain
  • Environment: Eclipse with ABAP Development Tools (ADT) on cloud and on-premise projects
  • Technologies: the new ABAP SQL, Core Data Services, AMDP, OData, ALV IDA, SQL Monitor
  • Covers the ground assessed by the SAP Certified Development Specialist - ABAP for SAP HANA certification (now retired from the catalog) and reinforces areas of the current SAP Certified Associate - Back-End Developer - ABAP Cloud exam

The journey, class by class

Each week you build on a real application. The journey ends with a final project and certification preparation.

    • Logic inside the query: CASE expressions, UNION ALL and UNION DISTINCT, and subqueries with WITH
    • Fine-grained optimizer control: database hints and global temporary tables (GTT)
    • Advanced writes: INSERT and MODIFY fed by subquery

    Access Control and Metadata Extensions: security and presentation without touching the model

    Who sees what, and how it is displayed, defined in clean, maintainable layers.

    View content
    • Access control with instance roles: creation, testing and inheritance
    • Removing restrictions and blocking access entirely: the two extremes of DCL
    • Metadata extensions with annotate view: separating the presentation layer from the data model
