ABAP® Programming for SAP HANA® – HA400

ABAP® Programming for SAP HANA® – HA400 equips participants to apply code-to-data principles, modern Open SQL, CDS views, AMDP, and SAP performance tools to refactor ABAP applications for efficient SAP HANA execution. Each lesson links SAP objects and process decisions to operational controls, integration behavior, and evidence that can be reviewed.

The practical case concerns an SAP development team modernizing custom reports and batch programs that create excessive database transfers and unpredictable runtime after a HANA migration. Course activities produce ABAP optimization candidate assessment, modern data-access refactoring workbook, code-pushdown implementation evidence pack, and ABAP performance assurance and handover plan and require learners to investigate a proposed pushdown adds complexity without reducing transferred data; a rewritten query changes duplicate handling and produces different business totals; an AMDP procedure returns correct data but bypasses an expected authorization restriction; runtime improves in a test case but degrades for a high-volume production variant.

After the course, learners can identify database-intensive code, redesign data access, implement CDS and AMDP appropriately, measure improvements, preserve functional results, and document maintainable remediation choices.

What You Will Learn

• Map code-to-data assessment to the roles, data, and controls governing efficient ABAP execution.
• Apply modern Open SQL usage so daily efficient ABAP execution activities remain consistent and reviewable.
• Perform CDS view consumption using the correct SAP documents, statuses, and approval evidence.
• Test AMDP implementation choices across normal processing, integration dependencies, and access restrictions.
• Investigate SQL monitor analysis when observed outcomes conflict with documented business expectations.
• Correct code inspector findings issues and prove the fix through focused, traceable retesting.
• Use database access refactoring results to explain risk, performance, and next-step priorities.
• Document performance regression testing ownership, review frequency, evidence retention, and escalation criteria.

SkillDynamo Training Approach

Instructor walkthroughs are followed by hands-on SAP practice, structured scenario decisions, evidence reviews, targeted troubleshooting, validation checklists, and a final action plan specific to ABAP optimization for SAP HANA.
