@abap2ui5/embed-control@abap2ui5/embed-controlA UI5 custom control that runs an abap2UI5 app inside a host UI5 app, with the abap2UI5 frontend loaded from the backend the app talks to.community org, ui5
UI5 custom control that runs an abap2UI5 app inside a host app
The page and the [abap2UI5](artifact:abap2ui5-abap2ui5) service have to share an origin: an `endpoint` that resolves to another origin is refused, and abap2UI5 rejects a POST whose `Origin` names another host. A host that routes by the URL hash, such as a Fiori elements app or an app with a UI5 router, needs abap2UI5 1.146.0 or later, because 1.145.0 clears the host's hash after every roundtrip. One frontend per page: the first control that starts decides which endpoint the frontend comes from.
@mcp-abap-adt/core@mcp-abap-adt/coreA descendant of the Andreschak and fr0ster servers rebuilt on its own architecture, published as an npm scope and a Claude Code plugin, with Korean and Japanese documentation beside the English.independent, abap
ABAP ADT MCP server published as an npm scope and plugin
A descendant rather than a distinct idea: if what you need is the ADT surface itself, its ancestors are entered here too and one of them may already be in your stack.
@root3287/cap-segw@root3287/cap-segwA CAP build tool that compiles a CDS service into the ABAP Model Provider and Data Provider classes a SAP Gateway SEGW project expects, for OData V4 by default or V2.independent, cap
Compiler from a CDS service to SEGW model and data provider classes
The generated files are copied or deployed into the ABAP system by hand, the fourth step of its own usage list, so nothing keeps an activated service in step with the model it was generated from. Its peer dependency is `@sap/cds` ^9.8, so it does not install into a project on an earlier CAP release.
abaKabaKA beta library for ABAP constants that lets each program register its own source, a custom table or CSV, XML or JSON content from a URL, standard text, server file or remote system, rather than one shared table.independent, abap
Library for managing ABAP constants from registered sources
Quiet No published releases; repository quiet for 41 months.
Functional boundary Not in a production environment yet: the maintainer puts abaK in beta, says its API can still change and more tests are needed, and asks that a non-beta release be waited for.
ABAP AI CodeABAP AI CodeAn agentic coding assistant written in ABAP that runs as a SAP GUI report and reads, explains and reviews repository objects inside the system, running an LLM's tool calls as ABAP.independent, abap
Agentic coding assistant in ABAP that runs as an SAP GUI report
ABAP ArchitectABAP ArchitectAn Eclipse plug-in that generates ABAP type definitions and parsing code from a pasted JSON or XML sample and creates the matching DDIC objects in a connected system over ADT.independent, abap
Eclipse plug-in turning JSON or XML into ABAP types and DDIC objects
On an [SAP BTP ABAP environment](artifact:btp-abap-environment) system only the generated code is left: DDIC creation is not supported on ABAP Cloud, because classic DDIC object creation over REST is not available there. Create DDIC is also disabled where ADT is not installed in the same Eclipse, and Insert into Editor then works with any editor implementing `ITextEditor` instead of the ABAP one.
ABAP Code SearchABAP Code SearchAn Eclipse plugin that searches ABAP sources from the Eclipse search dialog, either in the client over the ADT API or inside the system through its own backend.independent, abap
Eclipse plugin searching ABAP sources from the search dialog
On a system below ABAP 7.51, or one without a connected HANA database, the client-based mode does not run, and the server-based mode is only available where the abap-code-search-tools backend is installed in the system.
ABAP CSV ManagerABAP CSV ManagerA configurable CSV reader and writer for ABAP, with per-field format, validation and column-mapping options, reading into a flat or a dynamically typed internal table.independent, abap
Configurable CSV reader and writer for ABAP
ABAP Development Tools for EclipseABAP Development Tools for EclipseSAP's Eclipse plugins for ABAP: source, dictionary and CDS editors, Project Explorer, Outline and ABAP Unit, calling ADT resources on the connected system.sap official, abap
SAP's Eclipse plugins for ABAP development over ADT
It is an Eclipse install. A development object that is not native-integrated in Eclipse opens in the SAP GUI that is installed locally with the client.
ABAP OpenAPI UIABAP OpenAPI UIAn ABAP app that puts a Swagger UI in front of SAP NetWeaver Gateway services, built on Swagger UI and Odata-OpenAPI, installed through abapGit and opened from transaction ZGW_OPENAPI.independent, abap
Swagger UI for SAP NetWeaver Gateway services
No published releases; repository quiet for 49 months.
abap_btocs_ollamaabap_btocs_ollamaAn ABAP plugin, built on the B-Tocs ABAP SDK, that calls models served by Ollama through an SM59 RFC destination, implementing four of its API endpoints: generate, tags, show and embeddings.independent, abap
B-Tocs ABAP SDK plugin connecting to Ollama models
No published releases; repository quiet for 28 months.
abap_cloud_platformabap_cloud_platformA TypeScript library of the Cloud Foundry calls that walk down to an ABAP service instance, read its SAP_ADT service key and log a user in, so a tool outside the system can reach it.independent, btp
TypeScript library reaching ABAP service instances on Cloud Foundry
abap_fm_jsonabap_fm_jsonA JSON adapter that exposes ABAP function modules over HTTP: a handler class in an ICF service calls the module named in the URL and serialises its parameters to and from JSON.independent, abap
JSON adapter exposing ABAP function modules over HTTP
Input arrives only as JSON, or as plain XML if the ABAP built-in transformation is switched on, whatever the output format is set to. Cross-site calls are limited to JSONP: the maintainer lists CORS support as planned.
ABAP_LOGGINGABAP_LOGGINGAn object-oriented wrapper around SAP's Business Application Log (BAL) for ABAP NetWeaver, chaining texts, messages and exceptions onto a log header that persists in its own or the same connection.independent, abap
Object-oriented wrapper around the Business Application Log
ABAP_TRANSLATION_HUBABAP_TRANSLATION_HUBA report that pushes an ABAP object list to SAP Translation Hub and pulls the finished translations back, meant to run as a job after the evaluation job has finished.independent, abap
Report pushing ABAP objects to SAP Translation Hub and back
No published releases; repository quiet for 43 months.
abap-agent-runtimeabap-agent-runtimeAn ABAP-native MCP endpoint inside the SAP system: an agent reads the screen of an opted-in abap2UI5 app as structured data, fills its fields and fires its events as the logged-on SAP user.community org, abap
ABAP-native MCP endpoint that drives opted-in abap2UI5 apps
Stateful apps cannot be operated: a stateful session lives in one HTTP request and an MCP call is one request, so `app_start` refuses them. The repository carries no release yet and states the addon has not been run in production use, the 7.02 downport is lint-only with no 7.02 system having run it, and the ABAP Cloud HTTP service setup is written down but still to verify on your own system.
abap-ai/mcpabap-ai/mcpAn MCP server SDK written in ABAP to run natively on the ABAP stack, so an ABAP system can expose its own prompts, resources and tools to an agent from inside itself.independent, abap
MCP server SDK written in ABAP
Server side only, and deliberately: the author states there is no realistic way to support the SSE streaming a client needs, so there are no notifications, no `listChanged`, no `subscribe` and no logging. It is also frozen — protocol versions up to 2025-11-25 and no further, with everything after that in a separate V2 SDK, so starting here today is starting on a closed branch.
abap-ai/mcp2abap-ai/mcp2A stateless rewrite of the ABAP MCP server SDK: one ABAP server contract answering both the 2026-07-28 protocol draft and the legacy 2025 versions, with no sessions and no SSE.independent, abap
Stateless ABAP MCP server SDK for the 2026-07-28 protocol draft
Stateless by design: with no `Mcp-Session-Id` and no SSE, notifications of any kind, `resources/subscribe` and stream-close cancellation are excluded, which the author states are protocol-level impossibilities on stateless ICF rather than gaps to be filled later within this design. ABAP Cloud is not supported and not planned, the stated reason being SAP pushing its own MCP strategy and features in BTP; the first iteration targets 7.5x classic, with 7.02 to 7.4x served from a separate generated downport repository. No authorization object and no default auth check are delivered, so a user who may call the ICF node may call every `AREA`/`SERVER` registered under it until `check_authorization` is redefined.
abap-alv-struc-viewerabap-alv-struc-viewerAn ABAP tool that generates an ALV table view straight from a DDIC structure, as a control-driven substitute for classic dynpro fields, with search help, validation and formatting from the structure.independent, abap
ALV table view generated from a DDIC structure
abap-call-hierarchyabap-call-hierarchyThe ADT backend needed by the separate ABAP Call Hierarchy Eclipse plugin, installed in the ABAP system with abapGit and still in beta, which its maintainer calls not feature complete.independent, abap
ADT backend for the ABAP Call Hierarchy Eclipse plugin
abap-cloud-guiabap-cloud-guiA report-style programming model for abap2UI5: one class produces a selection screen with a WRITE list or an ALV grid, running as a UI5 app on ABAP Cloud as well as on NetWeaver 7.02.independent, abap
Report-style programming model for abap2UI5 on ABAP Cloud
Not a way to run existing reports unchanged: a report is rewritten as a class, and `CALL SCREEN`, dynpro modules, batch input, `SUBMIT` and native SQL are refused by the converter rather than mapped. Not an SAP GUI in the browser either: the programming model is classic and the screens are UI5, and the README points at abap2UI5-addons/sapgui for SE16N or SM37. Output has gaps the README names — ALV cells show dates and times as the model carries them rather than in the user's format, print is a text file because ABAP Cloud has no spool, and value tables for F4 are read on premise only.
abap-code-search-toolsabap-code-search-toolsA backend that searches ABAP source objects for a string or regular expression entirely in ABAP, instead of through the ADT source search, used from an Eclipse plugin or the report ZADCOSET_SEARCH.independent, abap
In-system ABAP source search by string or regular expression
abap-fm-loggerabap-fm-loggerA logger for ABAP function modules (RFC) that stores each call's parameters as JSON in one table, with a viewer report to search the log and reprocess a record, akin to WE10 and WE19.independent, abap
Logger storing RFC function module call parameters as JSON
abap-logabap-logA logging library for ABAP with one logger interface in front of several targets, from the Application Log and the job log to database tables, files and the Eclipse console.independent, abap
ABAP logging library with one interface across output targets
No published releases; repository quiet for 36 months.
abap-metricsabap-metricsAn ABAP program that calculates software-engineering metrics for a class or a whole package, from lines of code and statements to complexity, coupling between objects and lack of cohesion.independent, abap
Software-engineering metrics for an ABAP class or package
No published releases; repository quiet for 43 months.
ABAP-PRCABAP-PRCA framework for custom multi-step ABAP processes: a process class declares the states, and the framework runs each document through them and monitors the run.independent, abap
Framework for multi-step ABAP processes with monitoring
Only on SAP S/4HANA 2023 and 2025, on premise or private cloud: [SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Public Edition](external:sap-s4hana-cloud-public-edition) and the [SAP BTP ABAP environment](artifact:btp-abap-environment) are listed as coming soon, and a 2023 system has to leave out `ZABAP_PRC_EVENTS_SE_2025`, whose event-based side effects rely on APIs released with S/4HANA 2025. Not for a system that already carries a copy, because object names are global and two versions cannot live side by side, and not for a productive system by way of the `ZABAP_PRC_DEMO*` packages, which the README states are not intended for one and whose init classes delete and rebuild their own tables on every run. While the major version is 0 the public API is not stable: minor bumps carry breaking changes with no deprecation period, so productive use means pinning a tag and reading the CHANGELOG before every upgrade.
abap-pwnedpasswordsabap-pwnedpasswordsChecks from ABAP whether a password appears in the Have I Been Pwned breached-password list, wrapping the Pwned Passwords API V3 in one call that answers with a boolean.independent, abap
Checks passwords against Have I Been Pwned from ABAP
abap-sdk-nwasabap-sdk-nwasAn ABAP client library for IBM Watson's Discovery, Language Translator, Natural Language Understanding, Speech to Text, Text to Speech and Assistant services, installed through abapGit.independent, abap
No published releases; repository quiet for 34 months.
abap-sdk-nwas-xabap-sdk-nwas-xAn ABAP client library for IBM's watsonx.ai and watsonx.ai Runtime APIs, installed into an SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP system through abapGit, generating and refreshing the IAM token from an API key.independent, abap
ABAP client library for IBM watsonx.ai APIs
abap-tags-backendabap-tags-backendThe ADT backend needed by the separate ABAP Tags Eclipse plugin, installed in the ABAP system with abapGit; an upgrade to v2.0.0 or later runs a migration program for its new database tables.independent, abap
ADT backend for the ABAP Tags Eclipse plugin
abap-transport-reviewabap-transport-reviewA release check inside the ABAP system that turns every transport task into a GitHub pull request and refuses to release the request until a colleague has approved it.independent, abap
Transport release check gated by GitHub pull request approval
Not below SAP_BASIS 7.40 SP08, and not on [SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition](external:sap-s4hana-cloud-public-edition) or [the SAP BTP ABAP environment](artifact:btp-abap-environment), where the classic transport check, the report and job calls and the cluster table `INDX` it rests on do not exist and the maintainer names gCTS as the answer instead. Only on a development system where every developer is trusted: each developer's GitHub token is kept in a cluster table encrypted with a key held in the same table, so anybody who can run ABAP on that system can read both, and the separation between author and reviewer holds only as far as that trust does. Not where the gate has to be unconditional — `#NOREVIEW` in a request's short text skips the check for that request, `ZTR_DISABLED` switches it off for a system, a check that cannot reach GitHub lets the release go on, and nothing checks who writes the marker.
abap-ui-toolboxabap-ui-toolboxA collection of ABAP classes for classic SAP GUI development: an enhanced, editable ALV grid, a single-container screen framework, and a tree wrapper.independent, abap
ABAP classes for classic SAP GUI development: ALV, screens, trees
abap2gsheetabap2gsheetAn ABAP framework that wraps the Google Sheets API behind ABAP calls for on-premise SAP S/4HANA, authenticating through SAP's standard OAuth 2.0 client.independent, abap
ABAP framework wrapping the Google Sheets API for SAP S/4HANA

abap2UI5 headless frontendabap2UI5 headless frontendPlays the frontend's side of the abap2UI5 request/response contract in ABAP, so an app class is driven and asserted on from a plain ABAP Unit test.community org, abap
Drives abap2UI5 app classes from ABAP Unit tests
There is no control tree: visibility and enablement are not evaluated, and `set_value( )` is not checked against the bound paths. The frontend `CONFIG` (device, UI5 version, focus, scroll) is not sent at all, so an app that branches on device or theme sees initial values. It drives `z2ui5_cl_ui5_handler` and the draft service, which the README states are not part of abap2UI5's released API in `src/02`, so a core change there can require a change here.
abap2UI5 Layout Editorabap2UI5 Layout EditorA browser editor that lays out a UI5 view by drag and drop and writes it out as one abap2UI5 app class, pulled into the system with abapGit.community org, abap
Drag-and-drop UI5 view editor that writes an abap2UI5 app class
The class has to be moved by hand: an abapGit pull of the exported ZIP, or a paste into ADT or SE24. The palette is held to the 121 controls of UI5 1.71, and a control inserted by its class name instead comes from whatever UI5 the canvas has loaded, with nothing checking it against 1.71 - *Checks* reports that. An app class that builds no view, or more than one, is refused.
abap2UI5 samplesabap2UI5 samples129 abap2UI5 sample apps, one ABAP class each, pulled into a system with abapGit and read in the order the catalogue lists them.community org, abap
129 abap2UI5 sample apps, one ABAP class each
A sample that needs something the system provides is not here — the samples-stack repository holds the OData, RAP, WebSocket and launchpad demos, and samples-controls the rebuilds of the UI5 Demo Kit originals. Every class in `src/` keeps to controls and properties available since UI5 1.71 and not deprecated, apart from two clipboard samples marked `(UI5 1.119+)`, so a newer control is not demonstrated here. Numbers are handed out per repository and reused across the three, so `493` alone does not name a sample: `Z2UI5_CL_SMP_APP_493` is the Hello World here.
abap2UI5-addons/open-source-libsabap2UI5-addons/open-source-libsEleven abap2UI5 apps, one per open-source ABAP library, each putting its library to work in the browser on the developer's own system.community org, abap
Eleven abap2UI5 apps, one per open-source ABAP library
Not on ABAP Cloud: most of the libraries use APIs that are not released there, and the repository has no ABAP Cloud gate yet. Not beyond a development system without authorisation checks added first — the samples carry none of their own, the abap-fm-logger sample reads the log table `ZAFL_LOG` with whatever the logged calls received and returned, and the abap_fm_json sample calls function modules, limited to a hard-coded whitelist.
abap2UI5-addons/popupsabap2UI5-addons/popupsReady-made dialogs for an abap2UI5 app: confirm, inform, select from a list, file up- and download, table, text edit, PDF, HTML, messages, range, value help and search help, each opened with one factory( ) call.community org, abap
Ready-made dialogs for abap2UI5 apps
The value-help and search-help popups read whichever DDIC check table the user selects without an authorisation check of their own, so the README asks for your own checks and a restriction on which tables may be browsed before they are used beyond a development system. The transport-request popup works only on-premise, and the search help does not yet run on the Cloud stack.
abap2UI5-addons/table-content-loaderabap2UI5-addons/table-content-loaderAn abap2UI5 developer tool that moves the content of an ABAP table in and out of JSON, CSV or XLSX files, with a preview before download or saving to the database.independent, abap
Upload, edit and download ABAP table content as JSON, CSV or XLSX
Not an end-user app: it reads from any table the user names and writes into tables of the Z/Y namespace, with no authorisation check of its own, so the README asks a project to add its own checks on `S_TABU_DIS`/`S_TABU_NAM` and to restrict who may run it before it is used beyond a development system. XLSX upload and download are not ready for ABAP Cloud yet, and of the upload apps only the JSON one writes the file's rows back to the database.
abap2UI5-localabap2UI5-localThe whole abap2UI5 framework folded into the local classes of one HTTP handler, so an app runs without the framework installed as a package.community org, abap
abap2UI5 folded into the local classes of one HTTP handler
Not where the framework code itself has to change: `input/` and the three installable branches are overwritten by the workflows on every upstream push, and a framework change is a pull request to abap2UI5. Bug reports and feature requests also go to the abap2UI5 repository rather than this one.
abap2UI5/samples-controlsabap2UI5/samples-controlsThe UI5 Demo Kit rebuilt in ABAP: the official demo kit samples of ten UI5 libraries as ready-to-run abap2UI5 apps, installed into a system with abapGit.community org, abap
UI5 Demo Kit samples rebuilt as abap2UI5 apps
The 221 ports under `src/02` need a UI5 runtime newer than 1.71: they install and activate on any release, and on an older UI5 the newer control does not render. The `src/03` collection is hand-written for SAPUI5-only controls and needs a SAPUI5 bootstrap. There are no per-library branches, so pulling the whole repository is the one way in and the activation takes a few minutes.
abap2UI5/samples-stackabap2UI5/samples-stackTen self-contained ABAP packages, each putting an abap2UI5 app in front of one technology the system already runs: OData V2, Smart Controls, RAP with and without draft, business events, ABAP locks, WebSockets, MIME and the Fiori Launchpad.community org, abap
abap2UI5 apps in front of OData, RAP, events and other technology
Not the place to learn abap2UI5 itself: every package starts from a technology the system already provides, and the framework basics and the control gallery are the other two sample repositories, abap2UI5/samples and abap2UI5/samples-controls. Three packages are out of reach on ABAP Cloud, and `05` needs the 2021 release that carries RAP business events.
abapCovabapCovA report, ZABAPCOV, that uploads ABAP Unit test code coverage results to codecov.io, once the repository is installed through abapGit and codecov.io's certificates through STRUST.independent, abap

Git client written in ABAP that runs inside the system
ABAPilotABAPilotAn MIT-licensed MCP connector for ECC and on-premise S/4HANA that reads ABAP source and dictionary context, whose SAP-side half is a licensed product you install in the system.independent, abap
MCP connector for ECC and on-premise S/4HANA with a licensed SAP side
Commercial Its maker offers it commercially.
Functional boundary The MIT licence covers the connector only: connecting to SAP needs a licensed ABAPilot backend installed in your system, so this is a commercial decision wearing an open-source badge on one half. Its own published checks did not cover writes, activation, transports or authorisation boundaries.
abapOpenReviewabapOpenReviewA code-review tool for SAP GUI that ties a checklist to a transport request: a transport whose diff contains code must be approved before it can be released.independent, abap
SAP GUI code review tied to transport release
No published releases; repository quiet for 31 months.
ABAPParallelizationServiceABAPParallelizationServiceA generic framework, called from code, for running a function unit, report or method across many parameter combinations in parallel dialog or batch tasks.independent, abap
Framework for running ABAP work units in parallel tasks
Quiet No published releases; repository quiet for 57 months.
Functional boundary The maintainer states the current state has never been used in real-world scenarios: the demo reports in package ZAPS_DEMO and the unit tests are the only runs reported, and the release table marks SAP_BASIS 740 unclear, 754 as the release it was developed on, and 750 to 756 as expected to work.
abapPM/ABAP-StrustabapPM/ABAP-StrustA class-based wrapper around ABAP Trust Management (STRUST) for adding, updating, removing and listing certificates from a program, with installer and updater programs for the certificates a domain needs.independent, abap
Class-based wrapper around STRUST certificate management

SAP GUI tool for static analysis of ABAP call flow and code metrics
admin-cockpitadmin-cockpitAn abap2UI5 app that shows usage, errors, response times, the draft table and a security traffic light of an abap2UI5 installation.community org, abap
Usage, error and response-time monitor for abap2UI5
It sees [abap2UI5](artifact:abap2ui5-abap2ui5) only: the figures come from the framework's HTTP handler, its monitor hook and its draft table, so nothing outside abap2UI5 appears in them. The usage, error and performance tabs stay empty until the handler line is in place or the user exit sets `check_monitor_active`. Recording which employee used which application, when and how fast, is subject to works council co-determination in Germany (§ 87 (1) no. 6 BetrVG); user tracking is `HASH` by default, `NAME` stores user names, and the request recorder keeps the complete request and response of every roundtrip for two days by default.
ADT resourcesADT resourcesThe HTTP endpoint an ABAP system exposes as the adt ICF service under /sap/bc/adt, so a client outside the system can reach development objects, delivered with the platform rather than installed.sap official, abap
HTTP endpoint under /sap/bc/adt exposing ABAP development objects
A client that cannot reach the adt ICF service over HTTP has nothing to call.
aibap.mcpaibap.mcpA Go server that closes the loop: after create, write and activate it can run the class it just wrote through ADT's classrun and hand the console output back.independent, abap
Go MCP server that writes, activates and runs ABAP classes via ADT
Not reachable Not reachable since 2026-10-20.
Functional boundary `run_class` executes code in your system — that is the point and it is also the risk.
alv_utilitiesalv_utilitiesA single ABAP class that wraps the SALV framework so a report, dynpro or popup listing sets column text, colour, alignment, layout and sorting in single method calls, built against ABAP 7.0.independent, abap
ABAP class wrapping SALV to set column properties in one call

arc-1arc-1An MCP server in front of the ADT REST API that runs locally and on Cloud Foundry with twelve tools that read, search, write, activate, lint and transport ABAP objects.independent, abap
MCP server over the ADT REST API for ABAP objects
arc-1-bopf-enharc-1-bopf-enhAn extension of four tools for arc-1, with an ABAP service behind it, that lets an agent read and maintain classic BOPF enhancements of SAP standard business objects.independent, abap
arc-1 extension for reading and maintaining BOPF enhancements
Classic BOPF only: business objects of the ABAP Programming Model for SAP Fiori are not handled, and on [the BTP ABAP environment](artifact:btp-abap-environment) or S/4HANA Public Cloud classic BOPF enhancements do not exist. It is version 0.1.0, verified on S/4HANA 2025 (SAP_BASIS 816) on-premise only, and [arc-1](artifact:arc-mcp-arc-1) still marks the plugin API it is built on as experimental. ARC-1 loads no extensions on its multi-target routes and offers none of these tools in its `hyperfocused` tool mode.
arc-mcp-hubarc-mcp-hubA hub on SAP BTP that puts several arc-1 instances, one per SAP system, behind one login and a route each, exchanging the caller's token through a destination so each system still sees the real user.independent, btp
Hub on SAP BTP putting several arc-1 instances behind one login
Archived The declared repository is archived.
Functional boundary With one SAP system the README says to point the client at that arc-1 directly. Version 1 exchanges tokens within a single subaccount, so backends spread across subaccounts are out; it keeps its session map in memory, so more than one instance needs sticky sessions or a shared store. It routes deterministically and runs no model, which is a different thing from an assistant that reasons across systems. The `/all` endpoint drops the per-connection isolation, and the maintainer's answer to that is a PROD backend set read-only at the SAP end rather than a tool surface that hides the writes.
AVEAVEA SAP GUI version explorer and code reviewer that diffs every object in a transport request and records an approval or decline per changed block, by someone other than its author.independent, abap
SAP GUI version explorer and code reviewer for transport requests
B-Tocs ABAP SDKB-Tocs ABAP SDKAn ABAP package that carries the outbound web service call for an SAP ABAP server, with the utility and security classes it needs under it and one plugin per integration on top.independent, abap
Web service client and connector layer for calling out of ABAP
Quiet No published releases; repository quiet for 28 months.
Functional boundary The maintainer records SSL as a known issue: an SAP Basis problem in older systems that depends on the remote certificate, so a system that cannot carry the remote certificate chain will not complete the call. It is published as free to use at your own risk, with no support statement behind it.
bryanmcain/zcode_scannerbryanmcain/zcode_scannerAn implicit enhancement to ECC's built-in code scanner, which covers only reports, function modules and classes, adding enhancement implementations, Web Dynpro components, BSP ABAP and form code.independent, abap

🟣 Bring AI into Your ABAP Applications with ISLM: Build, Integrate, and Consume AI Natively🟣 Bring AI into Your ABAP Applications with ISLM: Build, Integrate, and Consume AI NativelyDevtoberfest 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.SAP Developers, published 2026-09-24
🟣 Enable Your AI application to Run on Multiple Models to Ensure Resilience and Compliance🟣 Enable Your AI application to Run on Multiple Models to Ensure Resilience and ComplianceDevtoberfest 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.SAP Developers, published 2026-10-01

A Clearer View of Your SAP Integrations Under the New API PolicyA Clearer View of Your SAP Integrations Under the New API PolicyThe SAP API Policy Evidence Skill assesses one SAP interface or usage pattern at a time against SAP API Policy v.4.2026a, reading evidence from five MCP servers, among them servers for the Business Accelerator Hub and SAP Notes, mcp-sap-docs and a read-only ARC-1, and returns one of four labels with a confidence level, an evidence table, residual risk and questions for SAP. It gives no compliant or not compliant answer on purpose, because SAP's FAQ (Q49) declines to publish a binding decision matrix, and it sends legal, commercial and roadmap questions to SAP and lowers its confidence when a source is not connected. Four sample runs show the method, among them ODP-RFC extraction labelled likely not aligned under SAP Note 3255746 and the same API_SALES_ORDER_SRV assessed differently for an autonomous agent behind a custom gateway and for a Boomi middleware flow; the SAP Notes and Business Accelerator Hub servers read SAP sites through a browser login, which the post says to use at your own risk.published 2026-06-02

ABAP - Create dumpABAP - Create dumpShows how to terminate an ABAP program on purpose with RAISE SHORTDUMP — from a freshly created exception instance, or one already caught in a TRY/CATCH where continuing no longer makes sense — so a hard-to-diagnose failure leaves a dump behind instead of running on silently.

ABAP + MCP: Let AI Do Real Development in Your SAP SystemABAP + MCP: Let AI Do Real Development in Your SAP Systemabap-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.Willian_Saez, published 2026-09-03
ABAP AI SDK powered by ISLM - How to implement your own AI use cases in ABAPABAP AI SDK powered by ISLM - How to implement your own AI use cases in ABAPA 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.SAP Developers
ABAP and Agentic AI: The Hidden Problem in Real ProjectsABAP and Agentic AI: The Hidden Problem in Real ProjectsAI in SAP development splits on three questions, how the model gets context, where writing happens and who controls the setup: UI5 and CAP work in local files where git, reviews, tests and pipelines already gate a change, while on-stack ABAP writes land directly in a shared development system. Six patterns follow, framed after a paper by Lars Hvam, from AI in the IDE to off-stack development with abapGit, and the post settles on a hybrid where the agent reads the system over ADT or MCP and writes through a gated git flow. Read access alone is put at maybe 80 percent of the work, and what agent access to your code still lacks is named as tool governance: read-only defaults, package restrictions, blocking free SQL, per-user identity and auditing.published 2026-04-22
ABAP Cloud LoggerABAP Cloud LoggerWraps ABAP Cloud's cl_bali_* Application Log classes in ZCL_CLOUD_LOGGER, an open-source, MIT-licensed logger installed via abapGit. One fluent entry point takes free text, sy-msg-style messages, exceptions, BAPIRET2 tables or arbitrary data serialised to JSON, and multiton instances keyed on object/subobject/external number let unrelated code share a logger without passing instances around. It adds sticky per-iteration context, built-in timing, and a readable trail of the cx_bali_runtime errors the class swallows internally.Greltel, published 2026-04-30

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.Sandra_Rossi, published 2025-10-07
ABAP Development Automation with ARC-1 and GitHub WorkflowsABAP Development Automation with ARC-1 and GitHub WorkflowsA sample repository puts an ABAP package into GitHub with abapGit and connects GitHub Actions to ARC-1 on BTP through an API key with no write tools, so abaplint on the diff, ABAP Unit and ATC through SAPDiagnose, label-triggered Copilot and Claude reviews, and ST22 dump triage all run as checks on a pull request. The review case is PR #14, where a SAPRead of the activated method let Claude state that a direct SELECT from MARA was new in the PR and not yet active in SAP, which a diff-only review cannot know. The test gate reads activated objects, so a team that pushes before activation needs a sandbox or a pull-and-activate step, and pulling a merged change back into SAP is named as the next step, not built.published 2026-05-12

AI-native North Star architecture — Platform LayerAI-native North Star architecture — Platform LayerThe platform layer of SAP's North Star architecture, the chapter that says where agents run and what a developer builds them with. It names an AI Golden Path built on the SAP Cloud Application Programming Model, the ABAP Cloud development model with RAP and the SAP Fiori design system, and a managed agent runtime on SAP BTP that is designed to provide software development kits for building agents in any framework, an agent sandbox, container-hosted execution, a skills registry and continuous evaluations, which is the ground agent tooling covers. Agents are extended without changing their code through four patterns, the first of them tool extensibility through the Model Context Protocol, the concern MCP servers is named for; the process-layer chapter adds that a pro-code path with a standardised agent SDK and a prompt-driven path through the Joule Studio solution produce the same code artifact on the same runtime. It describes a design SAP intends rather than products that exist, and the SDK and the registry it names have no entry here yet.published 2026-05-13

Always in Sync — Field-level and event-driven side effects for reactive UIs in RAPAlways in Sync — Field-level and event-driven side effects for reactive UIs in RAPA Devtoberfest 2026 session on side effects in RAP — the declarations in a behaviour definition that tell a draft UI to reload what a change affected, instead of leaving the user to refresh the browser. Field-level side effects recalculate a total price from a determination when a booking fee is entered, including across the association from a child item up to the root entity, and a permissions side effect toggles a description field between read-only and editable; a global side effect is attached to a determine action, fires when the user presses Enter, and only one may exist per business object, which is why the prepare action and a second determine action cannot both carry it. The last part starts a long-running calculation through the background processing framework and raises a business event that the behaviour definition lists as a side effect source and the projection makes public, so the Fiori app is updated with a notification when the work finishes, whether it was triggered by the user or by an application job — the transactional model and the async processing side the edges rest on.published 2026-10-05

ARC-1 1.0: One Deployment, Multiple SAP SystemsARC-1 1.0: One Deployment, Multiple SAP SystemsThe release post for ARC-1 1.0, whose largest addition is an experimental multi-system mode: one BTP Cloud Foundry deployment attaches the SAP systems or clients an administrator selects through destinations, each with its own MCP address and an optional combined one, beside 22 included skills, an extension framework for company-specific tools, the BTP login code split out as @arc-mcp/xsuaa-auth, and a move to the ARC MCP organisation. It names the contributions behind the release: Wouter Lemaire for the first Cloud Foundry deployment and the first multi-backend implementation, Sami Bouguerra for NetWeaver 7.50 fixtures and activations that looked successful but were not, Clément Ringot for BTP login and Cloud Connector fixes, and Geert-Jan Klaps for S/4HANA Public Cloud support. It places SAP's own ADT MCP Server as the choice for a developer inside VS Code or Eclipse and ARC-1 as a shared service on BTP, and it stops short of a licence answer: the ADT web endpoints are not listed as published APIs in the SAP Business Accelerator Hub, so readers are told to ask SAP whether their agreement allows third-party tools to use them before a broader or production rollout.published 2026-08-03
ARC-1 on SAP BTP: Secure ABAP Agentic Development Beyond the LaptopARC-1 on SAP BTP: Secure ABAP Agentic Development Beyond the LaptopThe BTP deployment of ARC-1: one Cloud Foundry app per SAP system, reached by MCP clients through XSUAA and reaching the backend through the SAP Destination service, the SAP Connectivity service and Cloud Connector, with a BasicAuth destination for startup probing and a Principal Propagation destination for per-user requests, and SAP_PP_STRICT=true so a propagation problem fails instead of falling back to the shared user. Tool governance is the three gates it spells out, the server ceiling set by environment variables, the user's permission from XSUAA role collections, OIDC scopes or API-key profiles, and the SAP backend authorisation, all of which must allow an action, and the staged rollout from read-only to writes in $TMP, then selected packages, then transport writes. It recommends the MTA deployment over Docker on Cloud Foundry or a buildpack push, treats BTP ABAP Environment as a separate service-key scenario with no Cloud Connector, and is not a full setup guide: the commands are left to the ARC-1 deployment docs.published 2026-04-29

ARC-1 with Copilot Studio: SAP System Context Beyond DevelopersARC-1 with Copilot Studio: SAP System Context Beyond DevelopersTakes the BTP-deployed ARC-1 endpoint into Microsoft Copilot Studio, added as an existing MCP server with OAuth 2.0 against XSUAA and published to Teams or Microsoft 365 Copilot, so SAP system context reaches project roles that do not work in an IDE. The test agent combines SharePoint specifications, Jira tickets and mcp-sap-docs with ARC-1 in six scenarios: a patch for a Jira bug proposed before it is applied, the impact of widening a domain from CURR 13,2 to CURR 23,2, a two-layer CDS view built from a specification, an ATC and abaplint quality report, a short dump diagnosis, and a clean core check that proposes released successors for direct selects on USR02 and BUT000. The access path and security model are those of the BTP part unchanged; the advice is to start this audience read-only, although the showcase itself enabled the read and write tools.published 2026-05-04

ARC-1 with Joule Studio: Bringing Real ABAP System Context into JouleARC-1 with Joule Studio: Bringing Real ABAP System Context into JouleBrings the same BTP-deployed ARC-1 endpoint into Joule through a Joule Studio, classic edition agent configured with Anthropic Claude Sonnet 4 and two MCP servers, ARC-1 and mcp-sap-docs, for work that starts in SAP where the previous part started in Microsoft 365. Two read-only showcases carry the ABAP Cloud readiness edge: a clean core check of one class that reports it is not released, uses USR02 and BUT000 directly and has no ATC findings, and a modernisation backlog for package ZSD_LEGACY which, as that package did not exist, grouped 28 ZSD* objects into risk buckets instead. The route through SAP Integration Suite API Management or a future MCP gateway is presented as a target architecture and not yet a productive setup, because Joule Studio's documentation requires streamable HTTP destinations and does not support MCP servers that need interactive OAuth user authorisation.published 2026-05-06

Before You Upgrade S/4HANA: Static UI5 Checks with MCPBefore You Upgrade S/4HANA: Static UI5 Checks with MCPA UI5 version upgrade checked against one app by pairing two MCP servers: the ui5_version_diff tool added to mcp-sap-docs, which reads a bundle from ui5-lib-diff downloaded once at setup and filters it by version range, change type, library or query text, and @ui5/mcp-server, whose get_project_info, get_version_info, run_ui5_linter and run_manifest_validation say what the app uses and what fails. Run with a ui5-versions-upgrade.md skill on the legacy app from From SEGW and Legacy UI5 to RAP with ARC-1, from SAPUI5 1.84.59 to 1.147.2, the diff range held 985 deprecations and 961 What's New entries, and the linting and manifest validation narrowed that to findings in this app, among them jQuery.sap.require, synchronous bootstrap, the sap_belize theme, sap.m.MessagePage and an old manifest _version. The checks read the source in a local checkout and never the deployed app, so the report is a first pass: a changelog entry is not proof that a workaround can be deleted, and the app still has to be run and tested.published 2026-05-20
BEHAVIOR_ILLEGAL_STATEMENT dump | Technical workaroundsBEHAVIOR_ILLEGAL_STATEMENT dump | Technical workaroundsThe BEHAVIOR_ILLEGAL_STATEMENT dump fires in SAP RAP when an explicit COMMIT WORK or ROLLBACK WORK, or a direct database write, collides with RAP's own transactional model: a Logical Unit of Work split into an interaction phase, where changes sit in a transactional buffer, and a save sequence that validates and persists them. The post then names four ways to move the offending statement into a separate task instead — the Background Processing Framework, parallel processing, Application Jobs, or, on-premise only, a wrapper RFC function module called with DESTINATION 'NONE' — pointing to further reading for each rather than working through any of them here.PranayGaroo, published 2025-08-11

Beyond READ_TEXT: Decoding SAPscript Long Texts (STXL) with SQLScript in CDS/AMDPBeyond READ_TEXT: Decoding SAPscript Long Texts (STXL) with SQLScript in CDS/AMDPSTXL stores a SAPscript long text as a compressed ABAP cluster container — LZ77 plus canonical Huffman — so the only official reads are READ_TEXT, one call per text, and its mass variant READ_TEXT_TABLE, both of which ship every decompressed line to the application server and stay invisible to ABAP CDS. The author reverse-engineered that on-disk format and ported the decoder into SQLScript, wrapped in an AMDP procedure and exposed through CDS table functions, turning long texts into a joinable, filterable column read directly in the database. On ABAP 7.56 a table function needs the driver-and-filter pattern shown because a parameter cannot bind to a calling column; on ABAP 7.58/S/4HANA 2023 the same result becomes a parameter-less CDS scalar function with true filter push-down.aamelin1, published 2026-08-20
BO Interface APIs : An alternative to BAPIs and traditional FMsBO Interface APIs : An alternative to BAPIs and traditional FMsWalks through updating an S/4HANA Purchase Order's line items through a released BO interface instead of a BAPI, using EML against the underlying CDS entity and a COMMIT ENTITIES statement because the call sits outside a behavior class. Argues the BO interface route avoids a RAP behavior class's restriction against calling COMMIT WORK directly, and covers finding a released interface's CRUD operations on api.sap.com and extending the same approach to a custom field or a custom RAP-based Fiori app's own BO.Sudhan_Nagarajan, published 2025-07-02
Bridging Python and SAP HANA: Inside the sqlalchemy-hana Open-Source DialectBridging Python and SAP HANA: Inside the sqlalchemy-hana Open-Source DialectA Devtoberfest 2026 data-track session (DAT-21) in which one of the maintainers of sqlalchemy-hana, the open-source SQLAlchemy dialect published in SAP's GitHub organisation, opens up what sits between Python and SAP HANA. It walks the five dialect classes that render statements, types, DDL, identifiers and sequences, and the HANA specifics they absorb: the FROM DUMMY a bare SELECT needs, a limit injected when only an offset is given, string compiled to NVARCHAR, and quoted case-sensitive identifiers against Python's lowercase. The rest covers schema migrations with Alembic on HANA's transactional DDL, the recently added async support and vector types, and that HANA Cloud and HANA 2 are supported while HANA 1 is not.SAP Developers, published 2026-09-29
Bring "developers.sap.com" Into Your Dev Environment: SAP Developer Context for AI Coding AgentsBring "developers.sap.com" Into Your Dev Environment: SAP Developer Context for AI Coding AgentsDevtoberfest 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.SAP Developers, published 2026-09-25
BTP - Authorization ObjectBTP - Authorization ObjectWalks through building a classic ABAP authorization object for the ABAP environment — an authorization field, the object itself created in ABAP Development Tools rather than the classic SU21 transaction, and its activities (01 create, 02 change, 03 display, and others) — then wires it into a CDS role's access control with the pfcg_auth aspect on the WHERE condition, which is authorization's ABAP form: CDS access control limiting what a view entity returns to the conditions in a CDS role. The check inherits down to a consumption view and even the Data Preview, and the piece notes the WITH PRIVILEGED ACCESS addition developers use in the SQL console to bypass it while testing.Björn S., published 2026-08-07
BTP - Restriction TypeBTP - Restriction TypeWalks through creating a Restriction Type and Restriction Field for an ABAP RAP authorization object, so the values an IAM app would otherwise fix as static entries can instead be maintained per Business Role in the Fiori Launchpad. Read and Write access on the restriction still follow the activities defined on the authorization object itself (03 for read, 01/02/06 for write), and the piece shows the effect end to end: a Fiori app narrowed to only the business partners assigned on the role. This is the ABAP door's authorization mechanism made dynamic — an access decision moved from the IAM app's fixed values onto the role, without touching the underlying CDS access control.Björn S., published 2026-08-11

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.

Building an Enterprise-Ready SAP AI Agent with Open SourceBuilding an Enterprise-Ready SAP AI Agent with Open SourceA self-hosted chat agent for SAP systems: LibreChat as UI and orchestrator with Entra ID sign-in and SharePoint connected, a local LLM through Ollama, and two MCP servers, mcp-sap-docs for public documentation and the ADT MCP server vibing-steampunk for the system itself. The ADT server runs in its read-only mode under a technical user with display authorisations only, so the agent can find a function module and pull its source, or locate a RAP business object with its behaviour definition and projection view, but cannot change anything. Two workflows show it, explaining what BAPI_DISPUTE_CREATE does in one system and planning a RAP action from a PDF specification, where the generated ABAP is copied into Eclipse by hand; the full setup is in the marianfoo/llm-client-sap-system-integration-sharepoint repository.published 2026-03-03
Building Code-Based AI Agents on the BAIPBuilding Code-Based AI Agents on the BAIPA 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.published 2026-10-09
By-passing function modules in aunitsBy-passing function modules in aunitsWalks through registering a function module as a test double with CL_FUNCTION_TEST_ENVIRONMENT inside an ABAP Unit test class: class_setup names the function module to replace, an input configuration matches on the importing parameters, and an output configuration sets what the double returns before the calling class is asserted against it. The Function Test Double Framework is presented as ABAP Unit's way of testing code that calls a function module — procedural, without a class's native test-double support — without triggering the database, RFC or BAPI calls the real function module would make.Jagadish_R31, published 2026-06-01

Calling Claude from ABAP: How I Wired SAP AI Core into a Real Business ScenarioCalling Claude from ABAP: How I Wired SAP AI Core into a Real Business ScenarioA proof of concept wiring SAP AI Core's Claude deployment directly into ABAP with no CAP layer between them: two SM59 HTTP destinations, a hand-written OAuth 2.0 client-credentials exchange, and a regex to unwrap Claude's system/messages response envelope. Most of the effort goes into a system prompt that constrains the model to return one fixed JSON schema of filter fields, which ABAP deserialises with /UI2/CL_JSON and exposes through a RAP custom action so a Fiori search field can drive an OData V4 filter.PranayGaroo, published 2026-06-04

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.Katsiaryna_Darapeika, published 2025-02-04

CAP in the age of AI #3 - from MCP to A2ACAP in the age of AI #3 - from MCP to A2AThe 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.published 2026-08-21
CAP in the age of AI #6 - vector embeddingsCAP in the age of AI #6 - vector embeddingsVector 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.published 2026-10-09
CAP in the age of AI #7 - vector embeddings wrap-upCAP in the age of AI #7 - vector embeddings wrap-upThe 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.published 2026-10-16
Capturing Background Job Errors in SAP Using the Application Log (SLG0/SLG1)Capturing Background Job Errors in SAP Using the Application Log (SLG0/SLG1)Walks 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.bhuvaneswarg, published 2026-08-26
CCM - Calculate Key FiguresCCM - Calculate Key FiguresExplains how the Clean Core Measurement (CCM) project turns ABAP Test Cockpit findings into the Technical Debt Score shown on its Clean Core Dashboard: messages from the ABAP_CLEAN_CORE_READINESS check are weighted by severity level (B/C/D) and summed per object, while the object's overall classification follows its highest message level rather than the point total.

CDS Associations & JoinsCDS Associations & JoinsA Devtoberfest 2026 session from SAP's performance and scalability team on what an ABAP CDS association becomes on SAP HANA, taken as an excerpt from their internal performance training. The CDS edge rests on the three ways an association is used: a path expression and an explicit join both put a left outer join into the generated view, while exposing the association leaves the view without one and adds the join only for a query that asks for its fields, which the session calls join on demand. The data modelling edge is the advice that follows and the demo under it — cardinality written as precisely as the data allows, because the optimiser trusts it, shown with a view whose missing cardinality let SELECT COUNT(*) prune the join and return 18 rows where selecting the columns returned 56, plus the left-hand, right-hand and left-outer-to-inner rewrites that correct cardinalities make possible.SAP Developers, published 2026-10-12
Claude Code via MCP: Poor man's Joule, or a practical tool?Claude Code via MCP: Poor man's Joule, or a practical tool?The author drives Claude Code against a live ABAP system through vibing-steampunk, an ADT-to-MCP bridge that locks and unlocks objects on the agent's behalf so the model can concentrate on the change: extending an ALV report, turning its SELECT into a CDS view, and answering ad-hoc questions over the report's own data. Where Claude got it wrong — a RAP scaffold missing the fields RAP's locking mechanism needs, ORDER as a reserved word — the piece asks where that knowledge would go as a Skill, and concludes Skills' filesystem basis has no home in a system reached only through MCP.k1000, published 2026-03-08

Clean Core IndexClean Core IndexDescribes 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.patrick_weber11, published 2025-08-15
Clean Core maturity and the new Extensibility LevelsClean Core maturity and the new Extensibility LevelsSets out SAP's Clean Core Level concept, the successor to the 3-Tier Development Model, which grades extensibility by how upgrade-safe it is rather than by where it runs: Level A covers on-stack extensions on released RAP and CDS views plus side-by-side apps on BTP, Level B covers upgrade-stable classic APIs listed in the Cloudification Repository, Level C covers internal-object use flagged through SAP's Changelog for SAP Objects, and Level D covers direct modifications and implicit enhancements that ABAP Test Cockpit checks must block. Choosing between an on-stack and a side-by-side implementation is left to the SAP Application Extension Methodology, and the official Level classifications are filed under SAP Note 3578329.EmilianoAyub, published 2025-12-19
Clean Core清洁核心概况介绍Clean Core清洁核心概况介绍Explains 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.ArthurYang, published 2025-11-10
Cloud-Native with ABAP Cloud – The Transactional Outbox PatternCloud-Native with ABAP Cloud – The Transactional Outbox PatternImplements 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.published 2025-11-12
