Joule for Developers with SAP BTP ABAP Environment-Setup GuidepublishedA step-by-step setup guide for SAP Joule for Developers, ABAP AI capabilities under its Q2 2026 limited-promotion licence: creating a BTP subaccount, adding ABAP environment and HANA compute-unit entitlements, enabling Cloud Foundry, configuring trust to Cloud Identity Services, creating the ABAP environment instance and assigning the developer role, then pointing ABAP Development Tools for Eclipse at the new system. It walks through the resulting Joule chat, predictive code completion, explain, ABAP Unit and CDS test-generation features inside a newly created ABAP Cloud project.Blog,
What an AI infra engineer sees when opening SAP's AI stack (1/3): the model gatewaypublishedA first look at SAP AI Core's Generative AI Hub from someone who builds gateways outside SAP for a living: the orchestration service harmonizes provider calls onto one API (a model name string switches providers, and SAP Note 3437766 carries the current model list, token rates and deprecation dates), runs a fixed, non-reorderable module pipeline — templating, masking through SAP Data Privacy Integration, grounding, content filtering, then the model call — and retries down an ordered fallback list whose entries can each carry their own model and rules. It places @sap-ai-sdk/orchestration among the official JavaScript, Java and Python SDKs, and notes SAP's own LiteLLM provider as a way to put a different gateway in front of it.Blog,

🟣 Bring AI into Your ABAP Applications with ISLM: Build, Integrate, and Consume AI NativelypublishedDevtoberfest 2026 session AI-11, from the product manager and product owner of Intelligent Scenario Lifecycle Management: ISLM as the place an AI use case is registered, deployed and operated inside an SAP S/4HANA system, and what has been added to it for generative AI. The demo builds a custom scenario end to end — an intelligent scenario of type generative AI, a connection to SAP AI Core, a GPT-5 mini model, an orchestration flow template that configures data masking, input and output filtering and translation into the user's logged-in language, then prompts with a grounding query over five companies' return-policy documents — and consumes it from an ABAP report through the ABAP AI SDK, which calls the orchestration API and returns the summary as JSON. Two newer pieces follow: SAP RPT, the relational pre-trained transformer for tabular prediction, called with context rows and query rows and answering with a confidence value and no training step; and system-triggered agents, where an application job in the ABAP system starts a billing-creation agent that reaches S/4HANA OData APIs as tools through the agent gateway with principal propagation. The closing availability matrix states the generative AI capabilities for on-premise and private cloud from the 2021 release, with SAP notes to implement on lower ones.Talk,
🟣 Enable Your AI application to Run on Multiple Models to Ensure Resilience and CompliancepublishedDevtoberfest 2026 session AI-21. A cross product owner on the SAP AI Core team gives the reasons an AI application ends up on more than one model — a model down at the hyperscaler, a data centre that is not allowed to run it, a version being deprecated — and runs a joke app that answers from Gemini 2.5 Flash in EU10 and from Claude 4.5 Haiku in Asia-Pacific. The walk through AI Core's parts is where the edges hold: prompts kept as templates in the prompt registry, imported through the launchpad and the APIs or synced as YAML from a git repository (Prompt management); the evaluation service scoring one prompt across up to four models per run on built-in or model-as-judge metrics, and the prompt optimizer generating variants against one metric (Agent evals); and the orchestration service harmonising the providers behind one message format with a priority-sorted fallback list (LLM integration). The session also states where a metric has to be designed rather than picked: an exact-JSON match scores an email generator at zero, so the joke app's custom metric judges topic and family-appropriateness instead.Talk,
ABAP AI SDK powered by ISLM - How to implement your own AI use cases in ABAPpublishedA Devtoberfest 2026 ABAP-track session (ABA-44) on the ABAP AI SDK: an intelligent scenario development object holds the model and its version, so the ABAP code asks for an API, sends a prompt and reads the completion with its token counts and finish reason, and swapping the model is a change to that object rather than to the code. Four demos go through the ABAP line by line — a bare completion, a system prompt with the temperature set to 0.2, tool calls where the model asks for order details and the result goes back into the message container, and a JSON response schema that returns category, severity and goodwill as fields a program can act on — and a fifth replaces the API with the SDK's own mocks so unit tests run with no network call, which is what the LLM integration edge on the ABAP door rests on. The closing availability matrix separates base scenarios, available across SAP S/4HANA on-premise, private edition, public cloud and the SAP BTP ABAP environment, from the orchestration service and SAP RPT, shown for on-premise and private cloud with transport-based correction instructions back to release 2022 and not yet for the public cloud editions.Talk,
Agentic Loop with Joule for Developers and ADT MCP ServerpublishedA Devtoberfest 2026 session from SAP's ABAP AI team that generates a RAP issue-tracker application by prompting a coding agent. It covers what SAP Joule for Developers, ABAP AI capabilities now ships as MCP tools and which assistants can reach an ABAP system's virtual filesystem, then does the setup twice: turning on the ADT MCP Server and pasting the Joule side-by-side tenant link in ABAP Development Tools for VS Code, and again in ABAP Development Tools for Eclipse, where the custom agent becomes custom instructions. The demo's subject is the guardrails around the loop — an agent.md of phases and human checkpoints, skill files cloned from a GitHub repository for naming, ATC compliance and UI annotations — run through GitHub Copilot until the generated objects are activated, unit-tested and in a transport.Talk,

AI-assisted SAP development with MCPpublishedA Devtoberfest 2026 session (UI-41) that traces AI-assisted SAP development from pasting code into a chat window to coding agents with built-in connectors, and sorts the MCP servers around SAP development into SAP's own, the community's and the hosted ones, where the agent cannot change what the server allows. Four demos follow: GitHub Copilot alone explaining an ABAP report from a Git repository, @ui5/mcp-server reading an OpenUI5 sample app and converting it to TypeScript, mcp-sap-docs grounding Terraform files for a BTP subaccount the presenter had not written before, and arc-1 with Copilot in Eclipse tracing why a title longer than 40 characters is rejected and proposing the DDIC-allowed length instead. It ends on a skill that migrates an SAP Gateway project on an ECC system to RAP on S/4HANA step by step, and on a rule Marian Zeis gives for servers written for internal use: keep them read-only, because what the agent is short of is context.Talk,
Bring "developers.sap.com" Into Your Dev Environment: SAP Developer Context for AI Coding AgentspublishedDevtoberfest 2026 session FA-11: a tour of the rebuilt developers.sap.com by the team that runs it, from the administration screens behind the home page to the agent interfaces in front of it. The site is a CAP application on SAP HANA Cloud and SAP BTP, open-sourced in full, and the half of the session that places it here is how its content reaches an agent: every tutorial is also served as markdown, a coding agent is detected and given that version instead of the HTML, a well-known agent card advertises what the site offers, and SAP Developers MCP answers questions about tutorials, news and a reader's own completion history in Claude Code and Joule Desktop, over OAuth or a personal access token. Behind the answers sit two things working together: a knowledge graph in the HANA database over 1400 tutorials and 11,000 concepts, and SAP AI Core for the Joule interactions and the embeddings, with the agent harness written for the site rather than taken off a shelf. Where neither MCP nor A2A is available, the same content is published as skills.Talk,
Building Agentic Workflows with n8n in Joule StudiopublishedA Devtoberfest 2026 session, JS-31, on SAP-managed n8n inside Joule Studio, shown as a labs preview on a blocked-invoice scenario: a solution made of assets, an intent refined by the web agent into requirements and then a specification, and the generated workflow opened in the n8n editor that Joule Studio connects to its own n8n tenant, with the generated files committed through GitHub. The nodes carry the other edges — the human-in-the-loop node is built on SAP Task Center, and SAP AI Core is where model providers are configured centrally instead of per developer. It ends in Joule chat, where the approval task the workflow created is listed, opened and completed.Talk,
Building Code-Based AI Agents on the BAIPpublishedA Devtoberfest 2026 session on writing the agent yourself rather than configuring one, which is the agent tooling edge: an agent is a model with tools, skills, memory and context around it, and the session reads the code of one built in CAP as a LangGraph state graph, with an agent node that calls the model, a tools node holding the MCP clients, and the edge between them looping until no tool is needed. It then shows the shorter route, a CDS service annotated for the agent protocol with its instructions and skills in an agent.md file. SAP AI Core carries both, with the CAP service in front of it as middleware so the credentials never reach the browser, and that is what cap-agent-ui5-webui is demonstrated against: added as a dependency, it gives the annotated service a UI5 chat interface that can be deployed rather than only previewed. A Python multi-agent application on Cloud Foundry, where an orchestrator delegates to per-stack specialists so no single model sees every tool, closes the session.Talk,
Edge Integration Cell - what's new?publishedA Devtoberfest 2026 integration-track session (INT-41) on Edge Integration Cell, the runtime of SAP Integration Suite a customer runs on their own Kubernetes cluster while design, configuration and monitoring stay in the cloud tenant. It names what the customer has to provide — a supported Kubernetes platform, SAP HANA or PostgreSQL, Redis or Valkey as data store, a load balancer — then the Edge Lifecycle Management cockpit with its monthly rolling updates, the inbuilt and the external Cloud Connector options and why a DMZ placement calls for the second, and the adapters available only on Edge: RFC sender, NFS, OFTP2 and UNF. The demo deploys an OFTP-to-file flow to the Edge runtime and shows the same flow rejected when its runtime profile is switched to cloud, which is where the Integration flows edge holds.Talk,
How to Build Application Jobs in SAP Business AI Platform, ABAP environmentpublishedA Devtoberfest 2026 session on the application job framework in the cloud ABAP environment, built from the repository objects outwards: a class implementing the new application job interface, whose public attributes become the parameters and select options, the application log object it writes to, a job catalog entry that lays out sections, groups and value helps, and a job catalog template that works like a report variant. The demo schedules and monitors runs in the Application Jobs Fiori app, starts a job from a RAP action through the scheduling API under a job user of its own, and debugs one through the template's run-for-testing entry. It closes on the alternatives for work that should not be a job — the background processing framework for short-running work, and RAP events consumed locally or sent over the event mesh — which is the async processing this session covers for SAP BTP ABAP environment.Talk,
How to implement business AI capabilities in ABAP CloudpublishedA Devtoberfest 2026 session (ABA-32) on embedding AI in an ABAP Cloud application and on making SAP Joule aware of what that application can do. The first demo implements two features of a RAP travel app with the ABAP AI SDK: a determination on an uploaded receipt that sends the image together with the allowed categories and transaction types to a model reached through an intelligent scenario, then writes the extracted description, category, currency and amount back to the expense entity; and a recommendation function, triggered by a side effect on the trip title, that proposes a trip type with a score the Fiori UI sorts the proposals by and leaves the business user to accept — which is LLM integration from ABAP code. The second demo builds a capability for SAP Joule in the Joule Studio code editor in VS Code, with a scenario that extracts a trip title from the user's intent and calls an OData service in the ABAP backend through a BTP destination, deploys it and asks the Joule test UI for the trip's details; the session states that agents reach ABAP only over governed remote APIs — OData, SQL and MCP — and that automatic grounding of custom OData services in the knowledge graph is upcoming rather than available.Talk,
Intelligent App Development at Scale: SAP Fiori Elements + ABAP Development Tools for VS CodepublishedA Devtoberfest 2026 session (UI-33) that builds a RAP service and the SAP Fiori elements app over it from one VS Code workspace, with a coding agent driving two of SAP's MCP servers. The ABAP Development Tools for VS Code edges hold on the demo itself: its virtual file system keeps the ABAP package beside the Fiori project, the ADT MCP Server inside it creates, changes and activates the ABAP objects, and a version not yet released publishes the service binding from the agent instead of by hand. The @sap-ux/fiori-mcp-server edge covers its generators and the three-step workflow it uses for changes — list the functionality available for the application, ask for its JSON schema, then execute it — and the agent guidance edge rests on the skills the Fiori team publishes beside it, on the session's account of what a skill adds that a server does not, and on the analytical chart demo where a skill orchestrates both servers in one task.Talk,
News from Custom Code Migration: ECC to SAP S/4HANA Powered by Agentic AIpublishedA Devtoberfest 2026 session (ABA-23) on what SAP has added to the ECC to SAP S/4HANA custom code migration tools, demonstrated across a live ECC and an S/4HANA system. The first half stays deterministic and explains static analysis in that process: the custom code migration app's scoping over ABAP test cockpit findings, an explain of a legacy report and of an S/4HANA simplification finding, and transferable quick fixes exported from the app and applied on the ECC system through the SAP GUI ATC transaction before conversion. The second half runs the S/4HANA custom code migration agent in ABAP Development Tools for Eclipse: GitHub Copilot drives the ADT MCP Server's ATC and quick-fix tools in a loop, SAP Joule for Developers, ABAP AI capabilities produces the AI code proposals behind it, and only the high-confidence ones are written into the code, the rest left as comments in one transport request.Talk,
S/4HANA Custom Development - What happens in case of errors in BAPIs or RAP BOs?publishedA Devtoberfest 2026 session on what a custom S/4HANA process does when a BAPI or a RAP business object fails. It is framed from project work rather than product development, with the same issues and challenges turning up on project after project, and it offers the ABAP Processing Center, ABAP-PRC, as what fills the gap it names in modern ABAP development. The edges rest on the opening, which states the session's subject as errors in S/4HANA custom development, read as error handling on the ABAP door, and names that framework.Talk,
Unlocking Tabular Foundation Models: From Experimentation to ProductionpublishedA Devtoberfest 2026 session (AI-41) on taking tabular prediction from a playground to a deployment. It sets tabular foundation models against a model trained per use case and against language models reading rows as text, explains in-context learning as examples plus the rows whose target column is missing, and tries SAP RPT 1.6 on a train-delay dataset in the RPT playground, including the column and row importance it returns with the prediction. The same prediction is then rebuilt on SAP AI Core, where the tabular orchestration service plays the part the orchestration service plays for language models: a data destination, a table artifact with its CSN schema and a scenario configuration registered once at design time, after which a predict call passes only the query rows, the scenario configuration and a context-selection strategy. The last demo runs those same calls in natural language through the aicore-skills plugin in a coding agent, and one of them only resolves once the agent is told which scenario configuration to use.Talk,

CAP in the age of AI #6 - vector embeddingspublishedVector embeddings put to work in the incident management sample, answering whether this problem has been seen before. An embedding element of type Vector is calculated and stored from the vector_embedding function, so the database refreshes it whenever the text behind it changes, and cosine_similarity compares it with a freshly embedded string; because a title says little, a scheduled action first summarises each incident's conversation through a model on SAP AI Core and the embedding is taken from that summary. The similar-incidents list is a view joining incidents to themselves, with order and limit set in a before handler on the expanded query, and the vector element excluded from the service, since OData knows nothing about vectors — on SAP HANA Cloud the function is native, while SQLite needs packages added to the project.Video,
CAP in the age of AI #7 - vector embeddings wrap-uppublishedThe same embeddings model taken from SQLite to SAP HANA Cloud, then handed to an agent. Locally it is @cap-js/ai that adds the vector functions SQLite lacks and downloads an all-MiniLM L6v2 ONNX model on first start; on HANA natural language processing has to be switched on, the model name is a mandatory argument, the vectors it returns are 768 dimensions, and dimensions must match on both sides of a comparison. HANA itself can be given SAP AI Core as a remote source for other embedding models, which a CDS.ql expression has to inject because the postfix notation only takes what the CDS model holds, and the hour ends with a search function over cosine similarity exposed over @cap-js/mcp, so an agent asked about low output from solar panels calls semantic search instead of writing the query itself.Video,

Cloud-Native with ABAP Cloud – The Transactional Outbox PatternpublishedImplements the transactional outbox pattern in ABAP Cloud's background processing framework (bgPF): a RAP business object's save sequence registers a bgPF handler implementing IF_BGMC_OP_SINGLE, and the RAP runtime runs it, and only then emits the message, after the database commit succeeds, so a rolled-back transaction emits nothing. The post walks through the full working example published as SAP-samples/abap-platform-rap-transactional-outbox-with-bgpf.Blog,

On‑the‑Fly Excel Download in a RAP Fiori App — No Database Table, No Persistence, Pure CDS + ABAPpublishedBuilds a CDS custom entity backed by an ABAP class that implements IF_RAP_QUERY_PROVIDER and assembles an XLSX workbook at request time — hand-built from Open XML parts with cl_abap_zip for multiple sheets, or in one line via cl_salv_table=>to_xml for one — then streams it to the browser through the @Semantics.largeObject annotation. The same annotation makes Fiori annotations render the field as a download link with no backing database table, trading the usual persisted-blob approach to document output for a file rebuilt fresh on every click.Blog,
Patterns for using LLMs in ABAP developmentpublishedLars Hvam compares eight ABAP development setups: assistance in SE80 or Eclipse, virtual files and MCP over ADT, a centrally managed MCP service, sandboxes, local Git, Git with read-only system context, and temporary ABAP systems for development and CI. The overview describes where source changes, review and system access happen, including abapGit synchronization and abaplint checks. It is dated March 2026; its risk, cost and autonomy ratings are the writer’s assessments.Doc,

ABAP + MCP: Let AI Do Real Development in Your SAP Systempublishedabap-adt-mcp is an open-source MCP server that gives an AI agent full ABAP development capability over ADT: it searches, reads, edits, activates and unit-tests objects, and runs ATC checks, on a connected S/4HANA Cloud or on-premise system, acting as the signed-in developer. It runs on abap-adt-api, the same REST client Eclipse's own ADT tooling uses, and sits beside SAP's own ADT MCP Server, shipped with ADT for VS Code and Eclipse under a different server key, and marianfoo's abap-docs, a read-only server over the ABAP Keyword Documentation and Clean ABAP. Each destination carries a policy — read-only, allowed packages, denied tables and tools — the server checks before every call, and an optional audit file logs each tool call with its outcome and policy gate.Blog,
How to use SAP Data Intelligence with SAP Cloud ConnectorpublishedWalks through reaching an on-premise network from SAP Data Intelligence Cloud with Cloud Connector: installing the client, assigning the Cloud_Connector_Administrator role, registering the subaccount, and mapping on-premise systems as ABAP, HANA or HTTP back-ends in Data Intelligence's Connection Manager. For an ABAP back-end it names the function-module whitelist and the gateway port format RFC access needs, per SAP Note 2835207.Blog,

Agent-led custom code migration: From planning to mass adaptationpublishedThe Custom Code Migration Agent in SAP Joule for Developers, ABAP AI capabilities, applied to moving custom code from SAP ERP Central Component to SAP Cloud ERP Private: the abstract describes a toolchain that starts with planning in SAP Cloud ALM and ends in mass remediation by the agent, with newer custom code management features shown alongside. Which findings the agent remediates, and how far it goes without a developer, the abstract does not say.

Behind the Autonomous Enterprise: SAP Knowledge Graph and SAP Domain ModelspublishedThe strategy behind SAP Business AI's intelligence layer: SAP Knowledge Graph for enterprise context, SAP Domain Models for SAP-specific expertise and tabular AI for predictions, unified on SAP AI Core with SAP Document AI. Knowledge Graph and Domain Models are not atlas entries, so the edges rest on the two products the abstract names as the infrastructure and on Predictive models for the tabular AI; nothing is stated about what any of them does in the layer.

Migrate and modernize your custom code using RISE with SAP and agentic AIpublishedThe Custom Code Migration Agent in SAP Joule for Developers, ABAP AI capabilities, shown on the RISE with SAP path that moves custom extensions from SAP ERP Central Component to SAP Cloud ERP Private: the abstract says the agent adapts the code through MCP tools and the AI for ABAP features in the custom code tools, and that the adapted code is then reworked along the clean core approach, the concern ABAP Cloud readiness covers. Which MCP tools, and what the clean core step changes in the code, the abstract leaves open.

OData to outcomes—Build AI-enabled SAP Fiori apps using SAP Fiori elementspublishedA Fiori elements app built through SAP's MCP servers: the OData V4 service comes from the MCP server for RAP, which the atlas holds as the ADT MCP Server, or from @cap-js/mcp-server for CAP, and the UI from @sap-ux/fiori-mcp-server, with annotations and actions added before the app is tied to SAP's AI features. Agent access to your code on both the service and the UI side; SAP's abstract names the servers and the steps and says nothing about which AI features or which agent host.

Rethinking security for modern SAP solution landscapespublishedWhere risk goes when clean core moves custom logic out of SAP S/4HANA: into integration flows, CAP extensions, ABAP Cloud code and platform configuration, told through real attack stories, then scanning code, modelling attack paths, adding security gates to CI/CD pipelines and automating safely with Terraform. The scanning edge is to static analysis, the atlas's concern for security findings in ABAP code; the abstract lists the four surfaces and the four practices and describes none of them.

SAP Event Mesh: S4 HANA On-Prem and SAP CI(BTP IS) through WebSocket and WebhookspublishedA step-by-step walkthrough of wiring Event Mesh to publish and consume events between an on-premise S/4HANA system and Cloud Integration, contrasting persistent queues (one subscriber, kept until consumed) against unpersisted topics, and WebSocket's AMQP transport against webhook delivery for the same queue. Two tested findings support it: a queue consumer running in continuous consumption mode receives a message ahead of a webhook on the same topic, and a message stays queued and is retried (almost 8770 times in under a minute, in the author's test) until the consumer processes it successfully.Blog,

Transform your configuration of SAP S/4HANA Cloud with agentic AIpublishedThe Configuration Assistant for SAP Cloud ERP, hands-on: an agent that validates insights from an organisation's data and maps toward a target business configuration, under the heading of agentic data management, with data preparation, transparency and governance as the stated aims. The atlas holds no entry for the Configuration Assistant and no concern for business configuration of an ERP, so the edge is to Agent access to your systems, the nearest concern, an agent working on a system's data and configuration; the abstract's configuration is not the per-environment application settings the atlas files under that word. The abstract is the same text as TM100 and states aims and no exercise detail.

A Natural Choice: SAP AIF can now expose events to Advanced Event Mesh to power your EDApublishedAnnounces AIFAEM, a new software component of SAP Application Interface Framework that lets SAP ECC and older SAP S/4HANA backends create custom events from BOR objects and IDocs, in CloudEvents format, and publish them to SAP Integration Suite, advanced event mesh — closing the gap for backends that predate S/4HANA's own RAP-based standard events. It ships as the ABAP add-on AIFAEM731 (SAP NetWeaver 7.31, i.e. ECC) or AIFAEM800 (NetWeaver 7.55 and later), and its usage is included in an advanced event mesh subscription.Blog,
Communicate from a Java Application to ABAP via WebSocket RFC using JCo - Migration GuidepublishedWalks a JCo setup from classic CPIC-based RFC to WebSocket RFC: swap the application- or message-server logon properties for jco.client.wshost and jco.client.wsport, and implement DestinationDataProvider's getSSLContext (and, for mTLS, getClientCertificate) since the new connection runs over TLS. It covers building the PKI trust on both sides — a local PKCS12 keystore for the Java side, STRUST's SSL-Server Standard certificate exported and imported for mutual trust on the ABAP side — and notes that on BTP, JCo paired with the Destination service already implements this via the Connectivity service, so the custom SSLContext work can be skipped there.Blog,
Recommendations for Customers on using the Direct Push-Based IntegrationpublishedExplains SAP's direct push-based integration, where two ABAP systems (SAP BTP ABAP environment, SAP S/4HANA Cloud or SAP S/4HANA on-premise) exchange business events by calling each other over RFC connectivity, carried over CPI-C or WebSocket depending on the release, through a sender channel on one side and a matching receiver channel on the other that lists which events it wants. It recommends the mechanism only between systems in the same location or subaccount, without public exposure, and for prototyping event-driven scenarios before moving to Event Mesh or SAP Integration Suite, Advanced Event Mesh at a larger scale.Blog,

SAP: Email Functionality in SAP with a Custom Function ModulepublishedA custom ABAP function module, ZFM_SEND_EMAIL, sends mail through Business Communication Services' CL_BCS and CL_DOCUMENT_BCS classes, adding TO/CC/BCC recipients and multiple attachments by building the HTML document in application code on top of what CL_BCS delivers, which is how ABAP's notifications capability describes mail going out. The send sits in a TRY structure whose three CATCH blocks for CL_BCS's class-based exceptions are empty, so what reaches the caller is a BAPIRET2 table that BAPI_MESSAGE_GETDETAIL fills on the paths without an exception: no recipients given, sent to all, or not sent. That conversion into a caller-facing message table is what ABAP's error handling capability leaves to the application.Blog,

Connecting SAP S/4HANA On-Prem Directly to Advanced Event Mesh using Cloud Connector - finally!publishedPackage Integration 1.4.0 for the Advanced Event Mesh Adapter adds official support for routing through SAP Cloud Connector, so an on-premise SAP S/4HANA system can produce events that SAP Advanced Event Mesh distributes without exposing a public endpoint. The same release changes the adapter's default acknowledgment mode from Automatic Immediate to Automatic On Exchange Complete, altering delivery semantics and error handling. The release notes warn against mixing proxy configurations within one tenant, since that causes unpredictable routing in complex hybrid tenants.Blog,

Merge multiple PDF forms into a single document for download or printing.publishedFaced with bundling several Adobe-Forms-generated PDFs into one file, where FP_JOB_OPEN could not handle the parameters a bundled FP_GET_PDF_TABLE output needed and the forms themselves could not be changed, the author merges the individual PDFs at runtime with the CL_RSPO_PDF_MERGE class instead. Walks through opening the spool job with FP_JOB_OPEN, generating each form via its FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME-resolved function module, adding each result's xstring to the merger with add_document, then calling merge_documents and converting the result for GUI_DOWNLOAD or printing.Blog,
Set up the SAP Cloud Connector: Integrating On‑Premise Systems with Cloud ServicespublishedA step-by-step walkthrough of installing Cloud Connector, adding a subaccount, managing identity and trust certificates in STRUST, and mapping cloud-to-on-premise paths for an SAP HANA backend. It ends by creating a Destinations entry in SAP BTP with proxy type OnPremise and basic authentication, then testing it from SAP Business Application Studio.Blog,

ABAP code to wait for the end of "inbound bgRFC type Q" unitspublishedWalks through inbound bgRFC type Q — ABAP's queue-based flavor of async processing built on background remote function calls — and gives a helper ABAP class that polls cl_qrfc_client_inbound for each unit's and queue's state until every unit submitted across a set of parallel qRFC queues has finished. The method assumes no single unit spans more than one inbound queue, and the author flags the classes it relies on, cl_qrfc_client_inbound=>get_unit_state and get_queue_state, as unverified for this use.Blog,
Configuring SAP Cloud Integration for an IBP to S/4HANA (on prem / private cloud) integrationpublishedWalks through creating the two BTP destinations an Cloud Integration iflow needs for an IBP-to-S/4HANA integration: one of type RFC with a WebSocket RFC server host and port for the IBP tenant, and one of type RFC with the on-premise proxy type, a Cloud Connector location ID and a virtual host for the S/4HANA system. It then has the reader copy SAP's prebuilt IBP integration packages into the Design workspace and deploy every reusable iflow in them before a business iflow can call the S/4HANA extractor through SAP Connectivity service.Blog,
Modernizing RFC/BAPI-based Integrations for a Clean Core with SAP Integration SuitepublishedWalks a BAPI-based interface from SAP PO through three paths to SAP Integration Suite: lift-and-shift, which keeps the RFC connection to the ABAP system as-is and calls it through Integration Suite's RFC adapter; protocol modernization, which re-exposes the same BAPI as a SOAP web service; and clean core modernization, which replaces it with an SAP-managed API surfaced by the migration assessment report. Follows a BAPI_MATERIAL_AVAILABILITY interface through the first and third paths, showing the generated RFC-adapter iFlow against the OData API found for it.Blog,

A method to create an Adobe form attachment for a work item using the class concept.publishedWalks through an ABAP workflow class, ZCL_WF_PDF, whose methods call an Adobe form through a Form-Builder-generated function module, convert the returned PDF between hexadecimal string and binary with SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY and SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING, and attach it to a work item via SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD and SAP_WAPI_WRITE_CONTAINER, with the class, background-task and SWDD workflow steps shown in full. It explains document output's ABAP route, rendering a PDF through the Form Builder and getting it back into the program, and a route into attachments's ABAP side distinct from Generic Object Services: a file attached to an SAP Business Workflow work item instead.Blog,
Enhancing SAP Business Events with Custom Payload Fields using RAPpublishedWalks through enriching an outbound Business Partner event for Event Mesh that by default carries only the partner ID: a derived RAP business event, raised from a behaviour definition with RAISE ENTITY EVENT and bound through SWE2 event linkage to a receiver function module, adds first and last name to the payload. The custom event is defined on a root view entity over BUT000 and verified in /IWXBE/EVENT_MONITOR, where the enriched JSON payload shows the extra fields reaching subscribers without an additional callback to the source system.Blog,
Pattern Function for RFCpublishedA custom ABAP Editor pattern, defined once under SE38 > Utilities > More Utilities > Edit Pattern as Z_RFC_FUNCTION, that generates a CALL FUNCTION ... DESTINATION block for a chosen remote-enabled function module: an EDITOR_EXIT function on the calling system reaches the target system over RFC to fetch that function's generated source, then inserts the DESTINATION clause before handing the pattern back to the editor. It automates writing the RFC call itself rather than explaining RFC destinations as a concept, and the destination name in the sample is hardcoded to the author's own system.Blog,
Using Communication Targets for Outbound RFC Communication in ABAPpublishedWalks through calling a remote-enabled ABAP function module through a communication target instead of a direct RFC destination: on-premise, the APPLDEST transaction creates an application destination (client, CPIC type, host from SM51, authentication); in the cloud, saving a communication arrangement for an outbound-RFC communication scenario creates one automatically. ABAP code reaches the function with CALL FUNCTION (...) IN REMOTE SESSION, naming the application_destination parameter when a communication target has more than one assigned destination, and the piece walks a worked call to RFC_SYSTEM_INFO.Blog,

AWS Mail configuration for SAP ABAP SystemspublishedWalks through routing an SAP ABAP system's outbound mail through Amazon SES instead of an on-premises mail server or a dedicated EC2 SMTP instance: verifying a sender address and generating SMTP credentials in SES, creating the SMTP node in transaction SCOT, importing the SES endpoint's certificate into the SSL client via STRUST, and testing delivery through SO01 and SOST. It covers the SMTP relay underneath ABAP's mail delivery, the layer Notifications marks as where the core stops and where a channel like this is written on top.Blog,
Configure Journal Entry Posting Approval from Store Template in Build Process AutomationpublishedWalks through deploying SAP's Journal Entry Posting Approval template from the SAP Build Process Automation Store against an on-premise S/4HANA system that has no Secure Network Connection: destinations for S/4HANA via Cloud Connector, for SAP Document Management service, integration option to hold the approval's supporting documents, and for the BPA service and its SMTP mail. It then swaps the template's SNC action groups for basic-connection BAPI calls and deploys the approval's UI5 applications so the task lands in My Inbox, with a Desktop Agent registered to run the unattended document-check and document-post automations.Blog,
