ABAP Cloud readinessABAPABAP Cloud readinessWhether code can run in ABAP Cloud — released APIs only, no direct table access, no obsolete statements — and what to do with the code that cannot.Agent access to your codeABAPCAPUI5BTPAgent access to your codeLetting a coding agent read the project or the system you actually have, reach its model, its objects and its checks, and act on it. In file-based environments that works out of the box; complex systems need dedicated access capabilities. Whatever the environment, the agent also needs project- and framework-specific context, so it understands the thing in front of it rather than guessing from what it remembers of its training data. The transport is incidental: an MCP server, a language server or a CLI answer the same question, and what differs between them is how much of the real thing the agent can see. Distinct from [MCP servers](capability:mcp-servers), which is a protocol adapter on your own running service, and from [agent guidance](capability:agent-guidance), which is knowledge handed over as files rather than read from the thing itself.AuthenticationABAPCAPBTPUI5AuthenticationEstablishing who is calling: validating credentials or tokens, resolving the user, and making that identity available to the application. [Authorization](capability:authorization) decides what that identity may do; [identity provisioning](capability:identity-provisioning) manages its lifecycle across systems.Browsing table dataABAPBrowsing table dataLooking at what a system holds while developing or supporting it: the rows behind a key, the reference data a field points at, the tables that carry data for one object. Editing configuration records through maintenance screens is a different job, even where the same transaction does both.Change promotionABAPBTPCAPUI5Change promotionMoving a change through the environments of a landscape, from development through test to production, and knowing which change has reached which environment. A [CI/CD pipeline](capability:ci-cd) builds and tests on each source change, [deployment](capability:deployment) puts a build onto its runtime, and getting source into git is [source control](capability:abap-source-control).Clean code conventionsABAPClean code conventionsThe naming, structure and language-subset conventions that make source code readable across a team — and the question of which of them a checker can enforce.DebuggingABAPCAPDebuggingSeeing what running code did between an input arriving and a result coming out: which code ran, what the values were at each point, and why a value ended up as it did.Document outputABAPCAPBTPDocument outputProducing a document a person receives — a printed form, a generated PDF, a filled template — and getting it to a printer or a queue rather than returning it as a payload.Editor supportABAPCAPBTPUI5Editor supportWorking in source code with the editor helping rather than treating it as text — completion, go-to-definition, inline errors, refactoring and preview.LLM integrationABAPCAPUI5BTPLLM integrationCalling a language model from application code with the tenant, destination and credential handling already solved instead using an SDK call with a hand-rolled key.LocalizationABAPCAPBTPUI5LocalizationServing labels, messages and translated content per user locale, including translatable model elements and per-tenant text overrides.Retrieval-augmented generationABAPCAPBTPRetrieval-augmented generationGrounding a model's answer in data retrieved at question time: text split into chunks, each chunk embedded as a vector, and the chunks nearest to the question placed into the prompt. Semantic search is the same retrieval with a person reading the matches, and fine-tuning changes the model's weights, not its input.RFC connectivityABAPCAPBTPRFC connectivityCalling ABAP function modules from outside the system over RFC, with destinations and connection pooling handled rather than hand-wired on the calling side.SerialisationABAPSerialisationTurning typed in-memory data into a text or binary format such as JSON, CSV or protobuf and reading it back, including the mapping of names and types the language does not do for you. The protocol that carries the payload is a separate concern: an HTTP or OData client moves the bytes, and serialisation decides what they say.Source controlABAPSource controlKeeping source code and development objects in version control, comparing their revisions, and moving them between development environments. Managed delivery of changes belongs to [transport management](capability:change-promotion).Static analysisABAPStatic analysisCatching problems in code before it runs: naming, obsolete statements, security findings, and compatibility with a target environment. Style linting, security scanning and cloud-readiness checks are often treated as one concern.

Kernseife BTP AppKernseife BTP AppThe BTP side of Project Kernseife: a CAP application with Fiori apps where the classification is maintained and the ATC findings exported from the system are read back per system.sap official, abap
There is no hosted tenant: the application is built from the repository and deployed into a subaccount of your own, which needs Cloud Foundry runtime memory, a HANA Cloud instance for an HDI container, five bound services and a SAP Build Work Zone subscription on the Standard (Application) plan. The ATC check works without it, and the maintainers note that deviating from the ratings they supply switches off features such as the default classification logic.

Project KernseifeProject KernseifeA custom ABAP Test Cockpit check that scores how custom code uses SAP objects against a classification the customer writes, as a measure of clean core technical debt.sap official, abap
It runs on an ABAP Test Cockpit on SAP S/4HANA 2023 or higher with SAP Notes 3565942, 3630552 and 3710789 implemented, so a system below that line or without those notes cannot carry it. The maintainers state they have no second S/4 system to test against older versions of the ATC note.

Cloudification RepositoryCloudification RepositorySAP's list of released APIs for SAP Cloud ERP, with the successors of the objects that are not released — the content the ABAP test cockpit's cloud readiness and clean core checks are pointed at.sap official, abap
It is a catalogue of SAP's objects and not a reading of your code: it states that an object is not released, never that you used it, and the finding is the ATC check's. For SAP Cloud ERP Private the files exist for feature pack stack releases only, with no update per support package, so a system between two stacks is checked against its stack's file.

Content FilteringContent FilteringContent filtering screens a large language model's input and output for low-quality, irrelevant or unsafe content: the four categories it names being hateful, violent, sexual and vulgar content, checking a request once on the way in and once on the way back. The page states smaller models can do this filtering efficiently, reading perplexity scores to flag anomalies, with the aim that SAP AI Core produces content meeting a stated safety standard, which is the ground content filtering covers on the BTP door.
Data MaskingData MaskingData masking replaces identifiable or confidential text in a prompt with placeholders such as <Person_0> or <Organization_1> before it reaches a large language model, using pattern matching and machine learning to find what to replace. The page states SAP AI Core supports it as a feature and sets out five steps for applying it, defining the masking scope, choosing a technique, preserving the prompt's intent, checking compliance and risk, then testing and monitoring the result. That is the shape data masking takes on the BTP door.
Document GroundingDocument GroundingDocument Grounding is a managed retrieval-augmented-generation service under the Generative AI Hub on BTP, which SAP's page on SAP AI Core places inside that service: it ingests documents from Amazon S3, SharePoint, SAP Document Management Service, SAP Work Zone or an SFTP server, and handles chunking, embedding and retrieval itself, refreshing content automatically when a source document changes. The page states this managed path is recommended for most enterprise scenarios because it covers the whole lifecycle end to end, and offers a separate Document Grounding Vector API for data that is already chunked and embedded, for cases that need finer control over chunking and metadata.
Prompt TemplatingPrompt TemplatingPrompt templating replaces a static prompt with a structured, reusable template whose placeholders are filled in at runtime, which the page says helps LLM responses stay consistent and lets the same instructions be adapted across tasks. On SAP AI Core this is implemented through the Prompt Registry, and the page states that storing prompts as plain strings in code is possible but not recommended. That is prompt management as a stored and managed object rather than a string embedded in the caller.

History
- Cloud ConnectorThe edge read as though the connector propagated the user by itself. SAP's own page names three authentication types towards an internal system and says the calling application's destination configuration picks one, and that trust to the cloud entities whose tokens are accepted has to be configured explicitly. The property the BTP door compares on rests on the same sentence.
- Cloud ConnectorThe Connectivity service required the Cloud Connector, and nothing said which of the two opens the connection. SAP's documentation does: the connector registers with the service.
