🔴 Your Agent Wants to Call SAP. Now What?🔴 Your Agent Wants to Call SAP. Now What?Devtoberfest 2026 session INT-23, on what belongs between an agent and an SAP system. A solution advisor and an enterprise architect point Joule Desktop extensions at MCP servers built on API Management inside SAP Integration Suite, and ask it for business partners, orders and line items from an S/4HANA demo system; asked for the ten largest customers it answers from a sample of 200 orders rather than reading the whole table. They then open the API proxy behind it, where a spike arrest policy caps the backend at ten calls per second and the MCP server is configured to expose only the GET resources of the business-partner API so that an agent cannot create one, which is where the edges to Serve your application over MCP and Rate limiting hold. For totals across all sales orders they send the agent to SAP Business Data Cloud instead of the transactional system, since it aggregates and is read-only, and back through Integration Suite for writes such as journal entries.SAP Developers, published 2026-09-30
🟣 AI Eating Brains! How I Fed Mine to Joule Work Desktop🟣 AI Eating Brains! How I Fed Mine to Joule Work DesktopDevtoberfest 2026 session AI-22. Mathias Kemeter connects his Obsidian note vault to Joule Work Desktop with VaultGate, a local HTTP MCP server he wrote in his spare time because the desktop's sandbox accepts HTTP MCP servers and not stdio ones, and because he wanted the vault reached through Obsidian's own command line rather than by direct file access. The demo builds a Space of management tasks from notes and mailbox together, has the assistant pick up a conventions file in the vault without being told where the reporting rules are, finds a conflict the notes never name by semantic search over local embeddings, and appends a task to a sprint note behind a write confirmation, which is where the edges to Joule Work and Agent workspaces hold. The second half is about the guardrails he had AI choose for the project it then had to live inside: tests and coverage, type safety, static checks, dependency and secret scanning, blocking on commit, on push and in CI.published 2026-10-01
🟣 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

Adapting SAP Joule for Purchase Order Creation from an Existing Purchase RequisitionAdapting SAP Joule for Purchase Order Creation from an Existing Purchase RequisitionA custom Joule Agent and Joule Skill, built in Joule Studio, classic edition to extend SAP Joule past its built-in Purchase Order display and change features: a buyer's single sentence naming a Purchase Requisition number becomes a created Purchase Order, with the skill wrapping the Purchase Requisition and Purchase Order OData V4 APIs as Action Packages reached through two destinations. The author anchors the agent's success condition to a PurchaseOrderNumber in the skill's output rather than an HTTP status code, and reports that the Purchase Requisition item structure does not map one-to-one onto the Purchase Order creation payload.jonathanvi59, published 2026-08-19
Agentic AI on BTP: a Multi‑Agent App with Pydantic AIAgentic AI on BTP: a Multi‑Agent App with Pydantic AISplits a single CAP/TypeScript agent that had grown to juggle five BTP MCP servers behind one bloated tool list into btp-multiagent-app, a Python and Pydantic AI rewrite where the Cloud Foundry and BTP Core MCP servers each get a dedicated specialist agent, with an audit log specialist scaffolded but left disabled, behind an orchestrator whose only tools are delegation calls to those specialists, which is the agent-tooling pattern the piece works through. Each specialist authenticates to its MCP server over Streamable HTTP with OAuth 2.1, and a shared module centralises the SAP AI Core GenAI Hub model setup behind two credential layouts, one for local runs and one for the Cloud Foundry service binding, the LLM integration side of the rewrite. Tool lists per agent drop from well over a hundred to a dozen or two, and routing failures become separable from tool-misuse failures by reading the trace.published 2026-05-03
Agentic AI on BTP: a Single Agent with LangGraphAgentic AI on BTP: a Single Agent with LangGraphA CAP TypeScript agent puts a LangGraph StateGraph in front of AzureOpenAiChatClient from @sap-ai-sdk/langchain, reaching SAP AI Core's Generative AI Hub, and lets its tool-calling loop draw on five deployed MCP servers — OData MCP Proxy, CI MCP Server, AI Core MCP Server, BTP MCP Server and BTP CF MCP Server — through @langchain/mcp-adapters' MultiServerMCPClient. Because agent, servers and APIs share one XSUAA tenant, the chat service forwards the signed-in user's own JWT instead of a service account, so each downstream server enforces that user's own authorizations. Past roughly a hundred combined tools the single prompt slows down and stops separating concerns, which is why the author's next post splits it into one specialist agent per MCP server behind an orchestrator.published 2026-05-03
AI-assisted SAP development with MCPAI-assisted SAP development with MCPA Devtoberfest 2026 session (UI-41) that traces AI-assisted SAP development from pasting code into a chat window to coding agents with built-in connectors, and sorts the MCP servers around SAP development into SAP's own, the community's and the hosted ones, where the agent cannot change what the server allows. Four demos follow: GitHub Copilot alone explaining an ABAP report from a Git repository, @ui5/mcp-server reading an OpenUI5 sample app and converting it to TypeScript, mcp-sap-docs grounding Terraform files for a BTP subaccount the presenter had not written before, and arc-1 with Copilot in Eclipse tracing why a title longer than 40 characters is rejected and proposing the DDIC-allowed length instead. It ends on a skill that migrates an SAP Gateway project on an ECC system to RAP on S/4HANA step by step, and on a rule Marian Zeis gives for servers written for internal use: keep them read-only, because what the agent is short of is context.published 2026-10-16
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

API Composition: Seamless Enterprise Data Access for Developers and AI AgentsAPI Composition: Seamless Enterprise Data Access for Developers and AI AgentsAPI Composition (formerly Graph, a capability of API Management) curates business data graphs from existing SAP and non-SAP API providers, so a query can navigate and expand relationships across systems through one composed API rather than hand-written integration code. Palak walks through combining SAP S/4HANA warehouse-stock data with Everstream Analytics risk data into one API, then exposing that composed API as an MCP server so an AI agent calls it with the same semantic context — the scenario behind API Management's MCP servers coverage.published 2026-07-27
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

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

Autonomous Diagnostics on Kyma Unplugged: Goose + LiteLLM + KRO + SAP AI Core in ProductionAutonomous Diagnostics on Kyma Unplugged: Goose + LiteLLM + KRO + SAP AI Core in ProductionAn in-cluster autonomous diagnostic pipeline on Kyma Unplugged (open-source Kyma, noted to also run on SAP BTP, Kyma runtime): a Goose agent with kubectl access calls SAP AI Core through a LiteLLM proxy, and most of the post is about the quirks of that route — drop_params silently swallowing unrecognised parameters and beta headers, streaming that has to be off when tools are attached, and prompt caching that sits on the Orchestration V2 API rather than the foundation-model path the LiteLLM provider hits. A second Node.js proxy reaches that API, and the author reports caching unconfirmed at production scale, which leaves the roughly $0.004 per static run a target rather than a measured figure. Spend metrics reach SAP Cloud Logging over OTLP through Kyma's Telemetry MetricPipeline while the health analysis itself lands in Kubernetes custom resources read in Busola, and the stack is declared as KRO Resource Group Definitions applied with one Terraform command.quovadis, published 2026-07-09

Be the First to Understand Joule Work's Agentic ThinkingBe the First to Understand Joule Work's Agentic ThinkingA Devtoberfest 2026 session on the agent harness behind agentic thinking in Joule Work: generic operating-system tools in a gVisor-isolated sandbox instead of hand-wired domain functions, a react loop, a warm pool of sandboxes torn down after each task, tenant-separated skill loading, and placeholder tokens the agent never sees swapped for real credentials at the egress path. A skill is a folder with a SKILL.md carrying metadata and instructions, and where it reaches a system, an SAP connectivity JSON that declares each connector by ORD ID with its guardrails — GET allowed by default, POST, PUT, PATCH and DELETE requiring human approval, everything else blocked. The demo uploads a cost-centre skill through the skills view, then has agentic thinking delegate over A2A through Agent Gateway to a custom agent built in Joule Studio, whose MCP tools read cost centres from an S/4HANA Cloud system, and ends by turning the result into a PDF; the Joule Studio trace is what shows the tool call actually happened.SAP Developers, published 2026-10-15

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

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

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

Getting there means learning that HANA's fuzzy .search() matches one word but not a full sentence, fixed by splitting the query into terms and merging the per-term hits, and that provisioning SAP HANA Cloud hits a database-level free-tier quota rather than an HDI-container one, with a stopped instance needing to be resumed first.

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

Building MCP Servers with SAP Integration Suite: What to Design, Not Just How to ConnectBuilding MCP Servers with SAP Integration Suite: What to Design, Not Just How to ConnectArgues that the tool design, not the connection, is the hard part of putting an API in front of an agent. Works one request — create a customer — through eight endpoint-shaped tools, where the agent carries ids between calls and rebuilds the business rules each run, then through a single intent-shaped create_customer that hides the sequence; and says what separates the two: a business operation for a name, parameters a caller can supply without a lookup, the rules in the server rather than the prompt, and a description written for an agent choosing a tool. The SAP Integration Suite half is short — three creation paths, an iFlow behind the API artifact when a tool has to cross systems — and it closes on a checklist to run before publishing.published 2026-07-07
Building your knowledge graph on SAP HANA CloudBuilding your knowledge graph on SAP HANA CloudDevtoberfest 2026 session DAT-11, in which two enterprise architects explain what a knowledge graph is and then build one on SAP HANA Cloud. The first half sets the join across three relational tables against an ontology of classes and predicates, the subject-predicate-object triple written as a turtle file, and a SPARQL query over it, and argues that the chain of relationships is what makes a recommendation traceable back to its reasons. The demo, taken from a Discovery Center mission, curates the ontology and the RDF files for an accounts receivable scenario in VS Code, ingests the triples into HANA Cloud with SQL and walks the resulting graph outward from a customer; that is the graph, spatial and document data edge. It closes by separating three things that share the name: the HANA Cloud knowledge graph engine, SAP Knowledge Graph as the data, and the knowledge graph in SAP Business Data Cloud.SAP Developers, published 2026-09-22
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

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
Centralized Error Handling in SAP Cloud IntegrationCentralized Error Handling in SAP Cloud IntegrationBusiness integration flows in Cloud Integration route their runtime errors to a shared Central Error Logger flow through an Exception Subprocess and a ProcessDirect adapter, instead of each flow handling failures on its own. The logger normalises the incoming error data — flow name, message ID, correlation ID, timestamps — and formats it into an HTML email sent through a Mail Receiver Adapter. The author validated the same logger flow, unchanged, against a second, more complex business flow with routers and multiple email notifications.vishaladhikari, published 2026-03-27

Combining AI Agents with the power of SAP HANA embedded ML (part 1)Combining AI Agents with the power of SAP HANA embedded ML (part 1)Devtoberfest 2026 session DAT-12, the first of two parts, in which Vitaliy Rudnytskiy does a data scientist's work against the embedded machine learning of SAP HANA Cloud by talking to an agent. The session first takes an agent apart into its LLM, its tools, its memory and the loop between them, then stacks the Predictive Analysis Library under the hana-ml Python wrapper and that under the HANA AI toolkit, whose tools an agent calls from plain English in a notebook to preview a sales refunds table, split it into train and predict tables, run a time-series check and train an AutoML forecast, keeping what it decided in Markdown memory files. That is the agent tooling edge; the same toolkit is then started as an MCP server over stdio and over streamable HTTP and reached from a coding agent and from Joule Work's desktop, which is where the live demo partly fails and the failure is shown.published 2026-09-22

How I Use AI for Development and Why Context MattersHow I Use AI for Development and Why Context MattersPart one of the AI ABAP development series traces a move from pasting ChatGPT output and error messages back and forth to tools that search, read docs and inspect files themselves, and holds that the context around a model decides more in real projects than benchmark results do. In SAP work the grounding comes from mcp-sap-docs, which brings SAP Help, GitHub repositories, style guides and DSAG guidelines into the session, and context for changing a class also means the tables it uses, the classes it calls and similar implementations.

How to Build Application Jobs in SAP Business AI Platform, ABAP environmentHow to Build Application Jobs in SAP Business AI Platform, ABAP environmentA 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.published 2026-09-28

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 2026-10-05

How We Make Tabular Predictions in 2026 with TabPFNHow We Make Tabular Predictions in 2026 with TabPFNA Devtoberfest 2026 session, AI-32, on why a table needs a model of its own: a language model reasons its way to a plausible number, while a tabular foundation model takes the table as context in one forward pass and learns from its features statistically. That is predictive models from both ends — a scikit-learn-shaped fit and predict in a notebook over a heart-disease data set, predicted class probabilities and SHAP values for which features drove the outcome, then the same model reached as an MCP tool by a coding agent that is asked which current customers are most likely to churn. The presenter is from the lab that publishes TabPFN; the Q&A puts it beside SAP's own tabular foundation model, which she says she has not used.SAP Developers, published 2026-10-08

Implementing Dynamic Subaccount-Based Routing in SAP CAP with SAP BTP DestinationsImplementing Dynamic Subaccount-Based Routing in SAP CAP with SAP BTP DestinationsWhy environment variables are the wrong place for backend endpoints in a CAP application, and what replaces them: cockpit destinations resolved at runtime, with the subaccount or instance identified as the request is handled. The argument is about redeployment — an endpoint kept in the environment means a deploy every time it moves — and the shape it produces is one codebase serving several landscapes without a build per landscape.Dnyaneshwar Salve, published 2026-03-18
Insights of Cloud SDK, CAP, XSUAA, SSH and other BTP topics from 2021Insights of Cloud SDK, CAP, XSUAA, SSH and other BTP topics from 2021A year in review, and one section in it is the reason it is here: "CAP isn't the solution for everything" — the author's point being that a pure UI5 or Fiori application does not need a CAP service wrapped around it, and that an approuter or the HTML5 Application Repository may be the better answer. The XSUAA section is a complaint about complexity rather than a guide, which is also worth having on the record.dr_vup, published 2021-12-30
IntegrAItion: Event-Driven IntelligenceIntegrAItion: Event-Driven IntelligenceA Devtoberfest 2026 session, INT-33, whose line is that agents fail because they are not informed enough rather than not clever enough, and that events are how they get informed: what an event is, the source-broker-consumer split, notification against data events, and topic filtering as the thing that decides which agents are woken at all and what that costs in tokens. It covers Event Mesh as the concern — topics, subscriptions, filters and queues — and SAP Integration Suite, advanced event mesh as the product, down to its event portal and catalogue, the mesh and cluster managers and distributed tracing. The closing demo sends an S/4HANA product-defect event through the mesh to wake an agent in Joule Studio, which fetches what it still needs over MCP and reports to a person the next morning.SAP Developers, published 2026-10-07

Integrating and Extending JouleIntegrating and Extending JouleSAP's reference architecture for SAP Joule across SAP cloud applications: a request is checked against a Scenario Catalog of the applications' skills and a Knowledge Catalog answered by retrieval-augmented generation, combined with the user's roles and history, sent to an LLM available through the generative AI hub, and, where a Joule function is needed, turned into a call to the backend. Its identity page is the authentication path: each user sits in the Identity Directory of Cloud Identity Services with a Global User ID, Identity Provisioning synchronises role assignments into SAP Build Work Zone, whose navigation service decides which functions a user may call, and the Destination service exchanges the user's token to call a function in the user's name. Its extension page covers Joule Studio in SAP Build, where Joule skills automate rule-based tasks over APIs and AI agents plan and reason with models and document grounding from SAP AI Core, the ground agent tooling covers; a later Joule Studio page describes a managed Joule Studio Runtime on the SAP Business AI Platform, which has no entry here.published 2026-03-16

Meet Joule Studio and Build your First AI AgentMeet Joule Studio and Build your First AI AgentA Devtoberfest 2026 session from the product manager of Joule Studio, walking one agent through the whole path the tool defines: an intent, the problem statement and goals a coding agent derives from it, the business context it takes from the SAP knowledge graph, and the solution type it proposes with a stated intent fit. The demo is a collections agent that drafts dunning emails: the product requirements document names the metrics and the human-in-the-loop review, the technical specification lists the artifacts to build — the MCP tools among them — and the build is followed by a business test run against business partner 10001, technical unit tests, and deployment to the managed runtime, where the agent and its MCP server appear as deployed assets. Two points shape how it is used rather than what it produces: every asset is a file, editable in the web editor or in the code view and pushable to git, and the same solution can be built from local pro-code tools; n8n workflows are stated as delivered out of the box inside the studio.SAP Developers, published 2026-09-24

Named-User Attribution Across BTP Subaccounts: A Two-Hop IAS Token Exchange for Cloud IntegrationNamed-User Attribution Across BTP Subaccounts: A Two-Hop IAS Token Exchange for Cloud IntegrationA central BTP application that manages Cloud Integration across subaccounts with client_credentials collapses every user into one technical service principal: target subaccounts' role collections are bypassed and the audit log names a service key instead of a person. The post works through a two-hop exchange — an IAS app-to-app hop, then the target subaccount's XSUAA jwt-bearer hop — that carries the calling user's own identity across the subaccount boundary through a shared Cloud Identity Services tenant, so the target subaccount enforces the user's own role collection and records their identity in the audit log. It walks through the IAS app-dependency setup, the AppRouter and SAP Destination service configuration the exchange needs, and states the pattern applies to any XSUAA-protected service in a separate subaccount, not only Cloud Integration.agnissh, published 2026-08-24

The demo creates an MCP server in a design package from an API already deployed on the tenant, exposes two of its 300-odd resources as tools, attaches authentication and quota policies on a policies tab, and publishes the deployed endpoint as an AI product in Developer Hub of API Management, where an agent subscribes and receives a token, URL, key and secret; the calls then show up in monitoring, in message processing logs and in the analytics dashboard, which is the MCP exposure and the tool governance the edges rest on. Three AI features inside Cloud Integration follow: a content migration agent that converts a PI/PO Java mapping into a Groovy script and generates a second integration flow for its lookup, memory profiling during a flow simulation, and root-cause analysis on a failed message processing log.SAP Developers, published 2026-10-07
Principal Propagation from BTP Web App to S/4HANA via SAP Integration SuitePrincipal Propagation from BTP Web App to S/4HANA via SAP Integration SuiteWalks through configuring principal propagation from a BTP web app, through SAP Integration Suite and Cloud Connector, to an on-premise S/4HANA system, so the backend receives calls as the logged-in user rather than a shared service account. The BTP Destination service uses OAuth2JWTBearer to exchange the user's Cloud Identity Services JWT for an Integration Suite token, and the iFlow's OData V2 receiver adapter reaches S/4HANA through Cloud Connector with Principal Propagation authentication. The Cloud Connector Subject Pattern builds the outbound certificate's CN from the token's user_name claim, which is populated from the IAS email rather than the sub claim, so identity resolution on S/4HANA hinges on that email matching a resolvable logon name.Joni, published 2026-07-10

Frames RFC support as a bridge for organisations still modernising rather than a recommendation to build new RFC-based integrations, and notes the exposed BAPIs inherit the server's existing authentication, rate limiting and IP filtering.

SAP BAIP, ABAP environment – How to build partner solutions and get them certifiedSAP BAIP, ABAP environment – How to build partner solutions and get them certifiedA Devtoberfest 2026 session on the two ways a partner ships an ABAP Cloud solution built on SAP BTP ABAP environment, which the session calls the ABAP environment of SAP Business AI Platform: software delivery, where an add-on product is published with the solution ID from SAP Store onboarding and the customer discovers and deploys it into their own system, and service delivery, where the partner operates the same add-on as a multi-tenant SaaS and a new version is deployed rather than published again. That is the ABAP environment edge; the static analysis edge rests on the quality steps shown in the landscape portal, where the Manage Continuous Testing app released with 2608 runs an ATC check variant against a configured system on a recurrence pattern, beside test product version builds and managed test tenants.

Its central point is that the Kafka offset must be committed only after the pipeline has processed the message successfully, with a worked table of which failure scenarios (missing Confluent magic byte, invalid schema ID, payload over the configured limit) withhold the commit versus let it through, to avoid poison-pill loops and silent message loss.

SAP BTP Cloud foundry Job Scheduling for CAP based projectSAP BTP Cloud foundry Job Scheduling for CAP based projectWalks through binding the SAP Job Scheduling service's trial instance to a CAP application's own custom action endpoint, so the service calls it on a configured interval and keeps a log of each run. The action itself is ordinary application code — here, sending an email through a third-party library — and the trial subaccount the author used could only run the job once, not on a repeating schedule.sunojmichael1, published 2021-03-15
SAP BTP Platform Technical User for CTMS IntegrationSAP BTP Platform Technical User for CTMS IntegrationWalks through creating a technical user in Cloud Identity Services (IAS) as a custom identity provider, adding it to a subaccount's org, space and role collections, and switching a Destinations entry's authentication to OAuth2Password with the Cloud Foundry login endpoint as token service URL and an origin property naming the custom IDP. The technical user lets CI/CD pipelines, API calls and transport automation authenticate without human credentials, keeping service accounts separate from people for audit and access control.Marudhu999, published 2026-03-09

SAP BTP XSUAA Security Configuration Comparison: Attribute-Based vs. Authority-Based ApproachesSAP BTP XSUAA Security Configuration Comparison: Attribute-Based vs. Authority-Based ApproachesTwo shapes of the same xs-security.json set against each other, with the resulting JWT printed for both. The consequence for application code is what makes it worth reading: under the attribute-based configuration a CAP handler reads req.user.attr.department, and under the authority-based one it does not, because the attribute is not there. Carries a migration guide between the two.rajeshkputumbaka, published 2026-02-18
SAP Cloud Integration (CI/CPI) - Reusable Script Collection Pattern for Sensitive Data MaskingSAP Cloud Integration (CI/CPI) - Reusable Script Collection Pattern for Sensitive Data MaskingOpens with the question compliance teams ask about Cloud Integration, whether an integration team based outside Europe with Message Monitoring access can read the personal data in a logged payload, and answers that in most standard configurations it can. The pattern against it is a reusable Groovy script collection plus one global variable holding the masking rules: a script near the start of an iFlow AES-encrypts the original payload into a header or property and replaces values in the body by value pattern first and field-name keyword second, a second script restores the original just before the sender, so a Log Payload step anywhere in the flow captures the masked body while the target system still receives the real data. The post names its own limits, that pattern-based masking is heuristic and that CPI trace can capture the payload before the scripts run, and grounds the pattern in GDPR Articles 5(1)(f), 25, 32 and 44-49, reading the EDPB's Guidelines 05/2021 to mean that access from a country without an EU adequacy decision, uncovered by Standard Contractual Clauses or another valid transfer mechanism, can itself constitute a cross-border transfer.AdarshRao, published 2026-05-25
SAP Codejam on Event Driven Build ProcessSAP Codejam on Event Driven Build ProcessA hands-on CodeJam walkthrough of an event-driven flow: a Business Partner creation event from a simulated S/4HANA Cloud system is published to SAP Advanced Event Mesh, where the author configures topics, queues and subscriptions and forwards it through a REST Delivery Point to SAP Build Process Automation, which runs a business process with a human approval step and an asynchronous callback to a third-party system. The event producer stays unaware of its consumers, with SAP Build acting purely as an orchestrator reacting to events.Sharathmg, published 2026-02-03
SAP Datasphere Integration Patterns: Lessons Learned from Two Years of ImplementationsSAP Datasphere Integration Patterns: Lessons Learned from Two Years of ImplementationsTwo years of production SAP Datasphere integrations across SAP and non-SAP sources, settling on Replication Flows over remote access for high-volume Finance analytics because remote queries added latency at query time, then tuning the copy with Datasphere-side partitioning, source-side CDS view optimisation and Cloud Connector sizing. For file-based and Kafka sources, SAP Integration Suite iFlows did work a direct connection could not — flattening nested JSON, PGP decryption and orchestrating the SAP Ariba extraction built on SAP's own BTP Procurement Data Extractor content.saikrishna_kalivarapu2, published 2026-08-17
SAP Document AISAP Document AISAP's reference architecture for SAP Document AI, first as SAP composes the service on BTP for document extraction: OCR, pretrained models, customer-defined schemas and LLM calls through SAP AI Core and its Prompt Registry in one pipeline, with tenant-isolated persistence in SAP HANA Cloud, PostgreSQL and an object store. Its scenario pages then lay out a solution in three layers: intake through Outlook and SharePoint inbound channels, the workspace UI, the Joule Work mobile app or the upload API; classification and extraction with a confidence score per field, automatic confirmation above a threshold and review of the rest in the workspace; and posting through outbound channels, directly to a REST API, through an SAP Integration Suite flow, or through a CAP service that maps the fields and calls SAP S/4HANA over OData. Enrichment beyond the service's own master data lookup is left to a CAP application or an Integration Suite flow triggered from an outbound channel, and direct API posting leaves error handling, retries and monitoring to the application.published 2026-06-03
SAP Integration Suite + MCP: A Practical Architecture for AI Agents and SAPSAP Integration Suite + MCP: A Practical Architecture for AI Agents and SAPLays out the runtime chain for exposing S/4HANA APIs to an AI agent through SAP Integration Suite: the agent calls a tool on the MCP Gateway, which is built from a governed API Artifact, which still runs on Cloud Integration for mapping, routing and error handling before reaching the backend. It states that the API-artifact approach requires the Integration Cell runtime rather than the normal CPI message-processing runtime, an OAuth-secured REST or OData artifact on OpenAPI 3.0.0-3.0.3, and an entitlement that is service-plan dependent (citing SAP Note 2903776) — so the architecture question is whether the landscape already has the right MCP entitlement, runtime and API foundation.aayushaggarwal, published 2026-09-02
SAP Integration Suite: Intelligent Integration with AI AdapterSAP Integration Suite: Intelligent Integration with AI AdapterThe AI Adapter adds generative AI as a receiver step inside a Cloud Integration flow, connecting through either AICore-GenAIHub — a single API onto SAP AI Core's Generative AI Hub and its foundation models — or Custom-OpenAI-Rest, a plain REST call out to a provider such as OpenAI. SAP Integration Suite starts the call from the iFlow and feeds the model's response into the next step, which is the mechanics behind the sentiment-analysis, summarisation and routing use cases the piece lists without walking through any one of them.meena_choudhary, published 2026-01-28
SAP Job Scheduling Service: 🔧 Generate Your Own Client Library from OpenAPI SpecSAP Job Scheduling Service: 🔧 Generate Your Own Client Library from OpenAPI SpecA tutorial on generating a type-safe client library for the SAP Job Scheduling service's REST API from its OpenAPI specification, using the OpenAPI Generator CLI to target Node.js, TypeScript, Java, Python, Go or C#. It walks through OAuth 2.0 client-credentials authentication and the generated client's Jobs API, listing, creating and reading jobs with their cron schedules, and lists what the service's error statuses (400, 401, 404, 409, 429, 503) mean to a caller. It states that the official @sap/jobs-client will be deprecated and tells readers to use a generated client for now.DenisDuev, published 2026-05-04

SAP Joule implementation in an S/4HANA private cloud 3 system landscapeSAP Joule implementation in an S/4HANA private cloud 3 system landscapeWalks through enabling SAP Joule across a three-system S/4HANA Private Cloud landscape (DEV, QAS, PRD) rather than the common single-system setup: separate BTP subaccounts for the non-production systems, a shared Cloud Identity Services tenant, and catalogs and roles transported from DEV through QAS to PRD. Covers single sign-on for Joule by setting Microsoft Entra ID as the corporate identity provider in SAP IAS, so authentication flows through Entra ID without the user existing in the IAS store, plus principal propagation through the Cloud Connector into the production backend.Arunrajj, published 2026-01-21
SAP Joule: Invoice Agent for Faster Supplier Invoice Release in SAP S/4HANA Accounts PayableSAP Joule: Invoice Agent for Faster Supplier Invoice Release in SAP S/4HANA Accounts PayableWalks through building an Invoice Release Agent in SAP Joule: a custom OData service surfaces supplier invoices whose S/4HANA Flexible Workflow approval is overdue, the agent ranks them by invoice value, aging, payment tenor or a combined score, and a Joule Skill calls the standard SAP AP Invoice OData API to release them, re-prioritizing the remainder after each action. It sets out the detect-prioritize-act loop and the four ranking criteria in enough detail to rebuild the pattern, and leaves authorization, auditability and segregation-of-duty controls to the reader's own design.idc, published 2026-08-11

SAP MDG Cloud Ready Mode: 5 Solution Patterns, Zero BADIs: How We implemented 5 typical requirementsSAP MDG Cloud Ready Mode: 5 Solution Patterns, Zero BADIs: How We implemented 5 typical requirementsA field report from an 80%-complete SAP MDG-BP Cloud Ready Mode implementation, showing five requirements it met without BAdIs or modification: business-partner context and the MDG UI shown inside the My Inbox app, rule-based multi-step approval routing with exclusive-choice nodes, agent determination through BTP role collections, and role-specific Fiori App Variants that give Finance Experts only bank-detail fields while Approvers get full write access. Each pattern works the same way underneath — a BTP Workflow service task reads business-partner attributes over OData into the workflow context, and a user task, route or app variant reacts to it — built with key-user extensibility or SAP Business Application Studio rather than custom ABAP.steffen_ulmer, published 2026-06-01
SAP-RPT-1.5 Is Now Generally Available: More Accurate Predictions, Better Explainability, What's NewSAP-RPT-1.5 Is Now Generally Available: More Accurate Predictions, Better Explainability, What's NewAnnounces general availability of SAP-RPT-1.5, the next release of SAP's foundation model for predictive models over tabular enterprise data: in-context classification and regression with no training step, now with stronger accuracy on high-cardinality columns, a maximum API batch of 512 rows (up from 128), and an "explain by example" mode that surfaces the historical rows that most influenced a prediction rather than ranking feature importance alone. Two variants ship, a default model and a -large model recommended past 100 columns or where accuracy is the priority, and the post previews a coming "tabular orchestration" workflow, targeted for general availability in August 2026, that is meant to select the relevant context rows from millions of historical records automatically.RanjeetKr, published 2026-08-14
SAP's API Policy on AI Agents: What It Prohibits, Allows, and Leaves OpenSAP's API Policy on AI Agents: What It Prohibits, Allows, and Leaves OpenReading SAP's API Policy v.4.2026a and its FAQ against the reference architectures, the piece narrows the widely repeated claim that SAP bans AI to what Section 2.2.2 actually restricts: an agent planning and chaining API calls outside an SAP-endorsed route, closed off further by Section 3's block on bypassing API Controls through custom code. It compares the endorsed and allowed paths — the MCP Gateway on SAP Integration Suite reaching S/4HANA and ECC through RFC-based back ends under a 15-tool, 200,000-token limit, SAP-provided MCP servers through Joule Studio, the A2A protocol, customer-operated MCP servers allowed under FAQ Question 56, and the ADT MCP Server, whose 18 tools work only on development artifacts and are documented as not intended for productive use. It leaves open whether Section 2.2.2 covers ABAP code that calls a model from inside the system, since enforcement is defined at the API-traffic level rather than by a list of tools.published 2026-08-31
