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,
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,
ABAP Select Converterflavors, description, links revisedThe flavor rests on the page's own "It is primarily used to migrate existing code to ABAP Cloud."; nothing on either page places the tool in standard ABAP. The page's "Additional infos" link was read for the first time and is now links.docs: it states the beta and lists what the converter supports and does not, which replaces the earlier "nothing for a batch of statements", a limit read off what the form does not show. The my-ide-actions sentence now follows that repository's own words, "The basis is the SwH tool" and the security table's "SELECT Converter | Software-Heroes API | -> Full SELECT Statement", and calls it an IDE Action rather than a package, which is the type that entry carries.Web tool,

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.

How to Create an Application Job (APJ) in SAP S/4HANA ABAP — With Single Values & Select OptionspublishedWalks through implementing an Application Job end to end on the ABAP door: a class implements IF_APJ_RT_EXEC_OBJECT for runtime execution and IF_APJ_DT_EXEC_OBJECT to define parameters, covering both single-value parameters and select options, then registers the class as a job catalog entry and template in ADT for scheduling through the Application Jobs Fiori app. Frames Application Jobs as the class-based, ADT-defined successor to the classic SM36/SM37 background job transactions.Blog,

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,

Capturing Background Job Errors in SAP Using the Application Log (SLG0/SLG1)publishedWalks through ABAP's Application Log framework for recording errors from a background job that has no screen to show them on: defining an Object and Sub-object in SLG0, then building the log in code with BAL_LOG_CREATE, adding a free-text or message-class entry with BAL_LOG_MSG_ADD_FREE_TEXT or BAL_LOG_MSG_ADD, and persisting it with BAL_DB_SAVE so it survives after the job finishes. The worked example is a report inserting student records into a custom table, scheduled via SM36 and reviewed afterwards in SLG1, filtered by the Object and Sub-object that created it.Blog,
Scheduling a Background Job for the BDC Session Method Using RSBDCSUBpublishedWalks through uploading data with GUI_UPLOAD, building a BDC session with BDC_OPEN_GROUP, BDC_INSERT and BDC_CLOSE_GROUP, then scheduling the standard program RSBDCSUB as a background job with JOB_OPEN, SUBMIT ...

On the ABAP, CAP and UI5 doors because each has a published SAP answer of its own: the Product Availability Matrix, capire's release schedule and the SAPUI5 version overview.

AI-first, API-first: What changes when AI becomes the userpublishedWhat changes in an architecture when an AI agent is the caller: AI-first and API-first principles, SAP's API governance, extensibility and the composable enterprise, with lessons the speaker draws from SAP's and other enterprise AI initiatives. The extensibility edge rests on the abstract naming extensibility as a principle and nothing more specific; no API, product or tool is named, so the talk is attached to the broadest concern it touches.

Deploy, review, break, fix: Govern cloud transports with agility and AIpublishedFive BTP services in one delivery chain, as the abstract lays it out: a transport is triggered in SAP Content Agent Service, tested in SAP Cloud Transport Management, its failure is raised by SAP Alert Notification service for SAP BTP and remediated by a SAP Joule agent with SAP Automation Pilot, and SAP Cloud Logging keeps the history for root-cause analysis. The chain from alert to remediation is the operations automation concern; what the Joule agent decides on its own is not in the abstract.

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,

The edges are to Extensibility, the concern the session is about, and to ABAP Cloud readiness, the concern behind making custom code compliant; the abstract names no tool for either and the dashboard is not held here.

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,
Unleashing ABAP Potential: An introduction to Extension Libraries (XCO)publishedIntroduces ABAP's Extension Libraries (XCO), a library framework that puts reusable functionality behind one interface. The post places it as part of the ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model but versatile enough for other ABAP contexts, and says it works in both on-premise ABAP and the ABAP environment on SAP Business Technology Platform. It walks through a worked Logging example: xco_log=>factory->create_new_log opens a log keyed by object, subobject and external ID, logger->add_message appends a typed message, and logger->add_last_symsg attaches a problem class and level of detail for later traceability.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 release notes warn against mixing proxy configurations within one tenant, since that causes unpredictable routing in complex hybrid tenants.Blog,

Async processingcoverage by flavor revisedABAP-PRC is the first option here to state ABAP Cloud: its README says the framework core is written in ABAP for Cloud Development on released APIs, and it runs its steps through the background processing framework or as application jobs. The paragraph on SAP's own mechanisms is unchanged and keeps its 2026-09-14 assessment date; no survey of the other providers was made. Its README lists SAP BTP ABAP Environment and S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition as coming soon, and its Fiori apps are classic BSP objects.Capability,

Clean Core IndexpublishedDescribes a company-built KPI, the Clean Core Index, that scores existing custom ABAP code by object type — reports, function modules, SAPScript/Smartforms, ATC S/4 readiness-check findings, user exits and modifications — each weighted by a severity the author sets for redesign effort and upgrade risk, with counts read off CDS views built for the purpose. The index is the author's own definition rather than an official one and does not by itself certify public-cloud readiness, but tracking it weekly shows where custom code still blocks a move to ABAP Cloud and lets progress be read per module or per object type.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,
ABAP's Parallel Processing Frameworks: Practical Guide to Performance Tuning of Mass Data ProcessingpublishedSurveys ABAP's two parallel processing technologies, asynchronous RFC (aRFC) and the queued, exactly-once background RFC (bgRFC), and the six frameworks built on top of them, SPTA, SHDB, CL_ABAP_PARALLEL, the Background Processing Framework, the Parallel Processing Framework and the Mass Data Framework, each by its own entry point: a function module, a factory class or a Customizing transaction. A Qualitative Weight and Summ matrix then compares the frameworks across criteria such as package creation, load balancing and documentation quality, stated as the author's own subjective scoring for one project rather than a ranking.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,
Enhancing Standard BAPIs: When and How to Do ItpublishedWalks through why a standard BAPI needs enhancing — a missing field, an extra validation, logic before or after the call, or a performance tweak — and five ways ABAP offers to do it: a BAdI found in SE18/SE19, an append structure for extra fields, a classic user exit wired through SMOD/CMOD, a wrapper function module copied from the original, or an implicit enhancement when no other extension point exists. Each technique gets its own steps, and two carry a short ABAP code example.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,
Clean Core清洁核心概况介绍publishedExplains Clean Core as SAP's architecture methodology for decoupling custom code from standard code, and walks through the A-D grading SAP uses for a single extension's cleanliness: D for direct modification of standard tables, programs, classes or functions, or disallowed patterns such as implicit enhancements; C for internally developed functions calling unreleased APIs; B for using only SAP's classic or released APIs (BAPI, ALV Grid, BAdI); A for side-by-side extensions reached only through released interfaces onto the SAP Build extension suite. It lays out a six-step roadmap for reaching Clean Core — inventorying existing extensions, setting a reduction target, surveying SAP's extension routes (SAP GUI SE80, Fiori custom fields and logic, BTP high/low-code, workflow/RPA), writing a decision tree, splitting new development from legacy migration, and reviewing periodically — while noting that in-app development is not inherently unclean and that real decisions should weigh ROI rather than follow the theory absolutely.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,

S/4HANA公有云版的内部ABAP拓展publishedArgues that S/4HANA Cloud public edition's in-app ABAP extensibility is still real ABAP development, just under stricter rules: developer extensions require ABAP Development Tools rather than SAP GUI transactions, data models are defined as CDS views instead of SE11 tables, business logic is a RAP behavior definition instead of a function module, and service exposure is an auto-generated OData service from a Service Definition instead of a hand-built RFC/BAPI. The piece walks a worked example — a Fiori app that triggers the Purchase Requisition API — through CDS, RAP, OData activation on SAP Gateway, and authorization via business catalogues, and frames the whitelist of released APIs and CDS views as upgrade-safety rather than a restriction.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,

S/4HANA Observability: Streaming SAP Cloud ALM & LogServ Telemetry to BigQuery & Vertex AIpublishedWalks through pulling SAP Cloud ALM's Outbound Logs, Metrics and Traces APIs — OAuth 2.0 client-credentials auth, protobuf-encoded OTLP payloads, and the guardrails needed against its rate limits and 24 GB/30-day retention baseline — plus SAP LogServ's infrastructure logs, into Google BigQuery for multi-year, cross-domain storage. A time-window SQL join then correlates ABAP exceptions, health metrics, infrastructure events and ITSM tickets, with the joined record passed to Vertex AI (Gemini) to draft a structured incident dossier.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,
