What's new with draft handling in RAP?publishedAn ABAP-day session at Devtoberfest 2026 on two additions to draft handling in RAP: collaborative draft, where two users work on the same draft instance and a field is locked only while the other is in it, and draft scope, where editing an instance of one draft-enabled business object puts the related instances of a dependent one into draft as well. Andre Fischer shows what each costs in the behaviour definition and projection, the draft query view and its DCL that collaborative draft needs over a table-based business object, and the CDS table entities that remove both the draft query view and the persistence table, with their current restrictions in ABAP analytics and extensibility; the from-scratch generator in ADT grows a checkbox for them. Both demos run against the DMO flight scenario of SAP-samples/abap-platform-refscen-flight, and the last part hides the draft-related features of an OData V4 app in its manifest, which the session gives as the reason a simple create-update-delete app no longer needs a V2 service binding.Talk,
XLF Translatorflavors, type properties revisedThe flavor rests on the page's "The tool is mainly used to translate ABAP Cloud Content, which is generated using the 'Maintain Translation' app (XLIFF Version 1.2)." The web-tool block's uploads key carries the one sentence the page gives about the file leaving the machine, "After uploading, all fields that have a translation element are available for translation.", verbatim; access is left out because neither the page nor the site's FAQ says what it takes to use the tool. The prose no longer says the file is opened in the browser, which the word "uploading" does not support, no longer treats XLIFF 1.2 as what the tool accepts (the page states the version of the ABAP Cloud content it is mainly used for), and attributes "without installing an additional tool" to the maker. when_not_to_use was "One file per session, translated by hand, field by field", none of which the page states.Web tool,

CAP in the age of AI #3 - from MCP to A2ApublishedThe episode that finishes @cap-js/mcp with authorisation and then crosses to agents. @requires and @restrict are the same annotations CAP already has, and the plugin reads them to filter the tool list and the describe output per user and per request, so a model is not told about entities the caller cannot reach — where the OData metadata of the same service lists every exposed entity regardless. The second half annotates a service with @agent from @cap-js/agents, which serves it over A2A with an agent card and a chat preview, runs first against a mocked response and then against SAP AI Core bound with cds bind and a hybrid profile, and reuses the MCP adapter's tools rather than defining new ones.Video,

Extending Standard S/4 HANA OData API'spublishedWalks through extending a standard S/4HANA OData API with a custom field, preferring OData V4 over V2 for its closer OASIS compliance and simpler service enablement, then tracing the extensibility objects documented for the entity before touching any code.

Running AI agents against SAP ECC 6.0: lessons from building an in-system MCP serverpublishedNicolasHernandez recounts building and running, over two years, an MCP server written in plain ABAP behind a single ICF node, for SAP ECC 6.0 and S/4HANA on-premise customers that the ADT MCP Server and SAP Joule for Developers, ABAP AI capabilities do not reach. Authorization runs as the calling user rather than a technical RFC user, a choice forced by a customer security team after an earlier version used a technical RFC user, and a later security review found a display-authority check applied uniformly across every write endpoint. The failure modes that cost the most time sat in RFC connectivity itself: RFC_READ_TABLE's empty-table exception collapsed into a false success, a where-used filter was applied only after the row limit, and BAPI calls treated an empty string and an absent parameter as different, silently wrong inputs.Blog,

How to rename an OData V4 service?publishedRenaming an OData V4 service binding changes its Service Alias and the resulting service URL, breaking any app already deployed against the old one — shown on a /DMO/TRAVEL-based example in the SAP BTP ABAP environment by unpublishing, renaming and republishing the binding, then reading the new URL back from the OData V4 service catalog's ServiceGroups entry. It weighs that against two alternatives: adding a second service definition and publishing it as a new service version under the same binding, or creating an entirely new service definition and binding, which keeps the original URL live during the cutover.Blog,

OData Deep Insert: Implementation and Real-Life ExamplespublishedWalks through implementing OData Deep Insert on classic SAP Gateway: two entity types joined by an association in SEGW, and a redefined CREATE_DEEP_ENTITY method in the DPC_EXT class that unpacks the header and item payload and calls BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 to create a sales order with its line items in one request instead of separate calls per item. Gives a sample JSON payload to test with Postman or /IWFND/GW_CLIENT and names the usual failure points — an unmapped association, a method that was never redefined, or a commit left out after the BAPI call.Blog,

Invoking Business Agent Foundation Agents from ABAP: A Step-by-Step GuidepublishedWalks through calling a Business Agent Foundation agent's chat endpoint from an on-premise ABAP report: an OAuth 2.0 client profile configured in SE80/SOAUTH2_CLIENT with client-credentials grant against the service key, an HTTP (type G) RFC destination in SM59 bound to that profile, and an ABAP report using CL_HTTP_CLIENT=>CREATE_BY_DESTINATION to POST a JSON message to the agent's sendMessage endpoint and extract the reply by splitting the response string. The destination and client code are the same shape as any outbound REST call from ABAP; nothing here is specific to the agent service beyond the request body and URL.Blog,

Calling the Sales Order (A2X) OData V2 API from BTP Using a Service Consumption ModelpublishedWalks through ABAP's Service Consumption Model for OData V2 in ABAP Development Tools for Eclipse: generating a client proxy from the Sales Order (A2X) API's downloaded EDMX, then using it from an ABAP console class to create a deep sales order with items, texts, partners and pricing elements, read it back and patch a field. The client itself is built the way HTTP clients describes for SAP BTP ABAP environment: a communication arrangement resolved through cl_http_destination_provider=>create_by_comm_arrangement, handed to cl_web_http_client_manager=>create_by_http_destination, reaching the inbound SAP_COM_0109 scenario configured on the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition side.Blog,
Calling the Sales Order (A2X) OData V4 API from BTP Using a Service Consumption ModelpublishedWalks through calling SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition's Sales Order (A2X) OData V4 API from an ABAP class on SAP BTP ABAP environment: a communication arrangement on each side, a Service Consumption Model built in ADT from the API's downloaded EDMX, and a client proxy wired through cl_http_destination_provider=>create_by_comm_arrangement and cl_web_http_client_manager=>create_by_http_destination, the same HTTP clients pattern for ABAP for Cloud Development.

Usage of Expand Entity in OData Service Consumption ModelpublishedExplains how to use OData's $Expand option when SAP BTP, ABAP Environment consumes a remote service through a generated client proxy, the way HTTP clients describes it, using stubs ABAP Development Tools for Eclipse generates from the service's $metadata. The expanded association only comes back from get_business_data when the caller supplies its own ABAP type that redeclares the association as a nested table, in place of the generated CDS entity type. The same workaround still applies from release 2311 on, where the consumption model generates flat ABAP types rather than abstract CDS entities.Blog,

From SEGW to @OData.publish: Expose Your CDS View as OData in S/4HANApublishedWalks through exposing an ABAP CDS view as an OData service in an on-premise S/4HANA system by adding the @OData.publish: true annotation, then registering and activating the generated service in SAP Gateway (transaction /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE) before testing it with $filter, $top and $count. It sets this against the manual route through transaction SEGW, since the annotation generates the service, its navigation properties and its OData properties straight from the CDS view without a Service Builder project.Blog,
OData $batch Deleting Records Across Multiple Tables in Single TransactionpublishedWalks through implementing a multi-table DELETE inside a single OData v2 $batch changeset on SAP Gateway: setting cv_defer_mode = abap_true in CHANGESET_BEGIN so more than one delete is collected per change set instead of being executed immediately, looping the collected operations in CHANGESET_PROCESS to delete from each backend table in turn, and issuing one COMMIT WORK in CHANGESET_END so all tables commit or roll back together. The example is a supplier master spread across basic, address, identification and purchasing-organisation tables, deleted as one logical unit of work instead of one HTTP call per table.Blog,

The client itself is built the way HTTP clients describes for SAP BTP, ABAP Environment — a communication arrangement resolved through cl_http_destination_provider=>create_by_comm_arrangement, handed to cl_web_http_client_manager=>create_by_http_destination to create the client.Blog,

Moving from Hub Gateway to Direct S/4HANA OData V4: A Customized Reusable RAP Processing FrameworkpublishedA generic base class for RAP custom-entity query providers — one implementation of IF_RAP_QUERY_PROVIDER~SELECT, subclassed per entity — lets a service expose OData V4 directly from S/4HANA instead of through a separate Gateway Hub.

Error handlingecosystems revisedWidened to ABAP: dominikpanzer/RESULT-for-ABAP and furkancosgun/EITHER-FOR-ABAP return failures as values, SchwarzIT/sap-usi-exception converts exception texts into BAPIRET2 and SYMSG, and abapify/throw raises an exception from a text or a system message.Capability,
Fiori annotationsecosystems revisedWidened to ABAP: SAP-samples/abap-platform-fiori-feature-showcase demonstrates annotation-driven Fiori elements for OData V4 on RAP, the same concern as CAP's annotations.Capability,
Key-user adaptationecosystems revisedSAPUI5-Adaptation-Project-Downloader reads adaptation-project changes out of the layered repository in an ABAP system, so the flexibility concern has an answer behind the ABAP door.Capability,
Launchpad pluginscoverage by flavor revisedA launchpad plugin is an SAPUI5 component sap.ushell loads through its Extension service; UI5 Web Components' own README states the library is not built on top of UI5 and names UI5 itself as what remains the choice for a complete application, and none of the three UI5-door artifacts behind this capability state the web-components flavor.Capability,
Localizationecosystems revisedSeven repositories translate ABAP texts: they push object lists to SAP Translation Hub, call DeepL or LibreTranslate, export a package's texts to a spreadsheet, keep form labels in a table, and read texts from the online text repository.Capability,
ODataecosystems, description revisedThe old wording made the model a CDS model, which is false for a Gateway service modelled in SEGW. CDS now qualifies what CAP generates from rather than the concern.Capability,
OpenAPIecosystems revisedabap-openapi, abap-openapi-ui and ABAP-Swagger generate code from OpenAPI documents and serve Swagger UI in an ABAP system. SAP-samples/manage-apis-codejam imports APIs by their OpenAPI specification into SAP API Management, which runs on BTP as part of Integration Suite.Capability,
SAP GUI screens and listscoverage by flavor revisedSAP's own ABAP Cloud documentation excludes classic UI technology syntax (dynpro) from ABAP for Cloud Development and names Fiori as its UI technology instead, and neither ABAP-door provider of this capability states abap-cloud support.Capability,
Serve your application over MCPcoverage by flavor revisedSAP's Sapphire 2026 ABAP MCP Server announcement, checked against its own documentation, turned out to answer agent-code-access, not this capability. None of the ABAP door's three providers of this capability states ABAP Cloud as a flavor; abap-ai/mcp names SAP NetWeaver 7.52, a classic-ABAP requirement, and the concern is not one of the classic-only kinds ABAP Cloud excludes, so it reads as unmapped rather than not-applicable.Capability,
UI written in ABAPcoverage by flavor revisedSAP's own ABAP Cloud UI answer is RAP generating a Fiori elements service, not ABAP rendering a UI itself; the one ABAP-door provider, abap2UI5, is community-org and states it runs up to ABAP Cloud, so the door-level state carries over unchanged.Capability,
XML payloadsdescription, ecosystems revisedSAP-samples' abap-platform-refscen-flight-soap-client and abap-platform-refscen-flight-soap-server consume and expose SOAP services from ABAP Cloud, which is XML exchanged with a system that does not speak JSON.Capability,

generator-ui5-ts-flp-pluginadded to the atlasEasy-UI5 generator for a TypeScript Fiori launchpad pluginGenerator,
Understanding and Developing Fiori Plugins with Extension API & TypeScriptpublishedDescribes a launchpad plugin as a UI5 component without views that the shell loads for every app, SAPUI5 only, and compares extending the shell through the renderer with the Extension service from 1.120 and FrameBoundExtension from 1.124, down to the placement options each allows. It builds fiori-fullscreen-plugin as the sample, and ends with activation: globally through /UI2/FLP_CONF_DEF and /UI2/FLP_CUS_CONF or per role through a Shell-plugin target mapping on an ABAP launchpad, and as an HTML5 app assigned to a role in SAP Build Work Zone.Blog,

OpenAPIname revisedThe map draws every capability as one tile, and a name that spells out its second half ran to three lines at a size nobody could read. The id already carried the short name; the name now matches it. The concern is unchanged: the description and the coverage say what it spans.Capability,

From R/3 ABAP to CAP/Fiori Elements on SAP CloudpublishedWritten by an ABAP developer of fourteen years explaining what changed and what did not — the argument being that CAP kept the focus on business logic that ABAP had, where learning UI5 and a framework or two had not.

ODataid, core coverage revisedcommunity-owns-it described V2 alone. Across the whole capability the core owns V4 and stops at the V2 runtime on purpose, having deprecated it — the core is narrow here by decision, not by absence.Capability,
Serve your application over MCPcore coverage revisedAssessed against the capire MCP adapter page and the June 2026 release notes. The boundary is unusually explicit for a beta feature: capire enumerates the governance it does not provide and forbids gateway use outright, which is what the community plugins here are answering.Capability,
