What's new with draft handling in RAP?publishedAn ABAP-day session at Devtoberfest 2026 on two additions to draft handlingDraft handlingLetting a user edit a record over several requests before it becomes real — saving unfinished changes, locking, and activating a completed draft.SAP and community, narrow by design 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 FischerAndre Fischercreated 5 pieces, contributed to 19 entries 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-flightSAP-samples/abap-platform-refscen-flightThe Flight Reference Scenario for the ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model, with sample data, RAP services and legacy logic for a flight-booking app, in branches for cloud and on-premise ABAP releases.sap official, abap, and the last part hides the draft-related features of an ODataODataExposing data and operations through OData, including the service model, metadata and protocol versions clients require.

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.Localization

CAP in the age of AI #3 - from MCP to A2ApublishedThe episode that finishes @cap-js/mcp@cap-js/mcpA CAP plugin that serves an @mcp-annotated service over MCP with three generated tools, describe, query and call_action, and writes its endpoint into the local agent's configuration in development.sap official, cap 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@cap-js/agentsSAP's own CDS plugin for building agents inside a CAP service, wired to audit logging and telemetry through peer dependencies rather than leaving observability to the author.sap official, cap, which serves it over A2A with an agent card and a chat preview, runs first against a mocked response and then against SAP AI CoreSAP AI CoreSAP's AI service on BTP: the runtime for AI assets, and through the Generative AI Hub inside it the access to foundation models, the orchestration service with its templating, masking, filtering and grounding modules, the Prompt Registry and Document Grounding.sap official, btp bound with cds bind and a hybrid profile, and reuses the MCP adapter's tools rather than defining new ones.Serve your application over MCPSat 17

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 environmentSAP BTP ABAP environmentSAP's ABAP runtime on BTP: ABAP systems developed in the ABAP Cloud model on SAP HANA Cloud, for cloud apps, OData services and side-by-side extensions of SAP S/4HANA.sap official, btp by unpublishing, renaming and republishing the binding, then reading the new URL back from the OData V4 service catalog's ServiceGroups entry.
