ABAP AI SDK
SAP's reuse library for calling a large language model from ABAP code, powered by Intelligent Scenario Lifecycle Management and reaching the models in the Generative AI Hub; delivered with SAP BTP ABAP environment, SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public and Private Edition and SAP S/4HANA.
A business application in ABAP that wants a model call, an invoice classified or a text summarised, needs the call, the connection and the configuration, and the ABAP AI SDK is SAP's library for the first while Intelligent Scenario Lifecycle Management holds the other two. It is delivered with the release: SAP BTP ABAP environment, SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, and Private Edition and on-premise as of release 2025 by standard delivery, with releases from 2021 supported through Transport-based Correction Instructions under SAP Note 3513374. The models are in the Generative AI Hub on BTP, so the SDK is the application's half of LLM integrationLLM integrationCalling a language model from application code with the tenant, destination and credential handling already solved instead using an SDK call with a hand-rolled key.SAP and community, narrow by design and SAP Joule for Developers, ABAP AI capabilitiesSAP Joule for Developers, ABAP AI capabilitiesSAP's AI for ABAP development in ADT for Eclipse and VS Code: chat, code completion, explain, test and CDS generation, RAP logic prediction, and since June 2026 an agentic mode over the ADT MCP Server, metered in AI units through the ABAP AI Hub Service on BTP.sap official, abap is the developer's, a different product with a different licence.

One of the three language-model providers the `10` package ships, `Z2UI5_CL_SMPS_LLM_ISLM`, calls the ABAP AI SDK instead of HTTP of its own, and activates only where SAP ships the SDK.

- How to implement business AI capabilities in ABAP CloudHow to implement business AI capabilities in ABAP CloudA Devtoberfest 2026 session (ABA-32) on embedding AI in an ABAP Cloud application and on making SAP Joule aware of what that application can do. The first demo implements two features of a RAP travel app with the ABAP AI SDK: a determination on an uploaded receipt that sends the image together with the allowed categories and transaction types to a model reached through an intelligent scenario, then writes the extracted description, category, currency and amount back to the expense entity; and a recommendation function, triggered by a side effect on the trip title, that proposes a trip type with a score the Fiori UI sorts the proposals by and leaves the business user to accept — which is LLM integration from ABAP code. The second demo builds a capability for SAP Joule in the Joule Studio code editor in VS Code, with a scenario that extracts a trip title from the user's intent and calls an OData service in the ABAP backend through a BTP destination, deploys it and asks the Joule test UI for the trip's details; the session states that agents reach ABAP only over governed remote APIs — OData, SQL and MCP — and that automatic grounding of custom OData services in the knowledge graph is upcoming rather than available.published 2026-10-05Fabian Fellhauer, YouTube — SAP Developers playlists
- 🟣 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 2026-09-24SAP Developers, YouTube — SAP Developers playlists
- 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 DevelopersSAP Developers, YouTube — SAP Developers playlists
