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,

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,

Cloud Connectorprovides[capability:authentication] revisedThe 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.App,

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,

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. A TechEd 2026 session (Wednesday 28 October, Berlin), presented by Tsovinar Chugaszyan, written here from SAP's abstract; the recording is not yet published.Talk,
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,
WebSocket RFC to Cloud Using SAP Business ConnectorpublishedWalks through wiring RFC connectivity between an on-premise ABAP system and a cloud ABAP system (SAP S/4HANA Cloud or Steampunk) through SAP Business Connector, which tunnels classic RFC over a WebSocket/HTTPS connection past firewalls.

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,

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,

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,

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,
