How to subscribe or fetch data from solace to CPI using AEM Adapter : part-5publishedCloses a series on event-driven architecture with Solace by detailing the subscriber side of an iFlow in Cloud IntegrationCloud IntegrationBuilds and runs integration flows that process, route and map messages between cloud and on-premise systems, SAP and non-SAP, through prebuilt adapters; available only under an SAP Integration Suite plan.sap official, btp: an advanced event mesh adapter feeds an exception subprocess, and a Groovy step classifies each failure as recoverable, left to Solace's own retry, or non-recoverable, answered with a custom property that tells Solace to stop retrying before the message reaches an escalation layer. The escalation layer names email, ServiceNow and Loggly as destinations without explaining any of them.
Migration Journey from MuleSoft to SAP Integration Suite (CI)publishedMaps MuleSoft Anypoint's error handling onto SAP Integration SuiteSAP Integration SuiteSAP's integration service on BTP: Cloud Integration for orchestration, API Management in front of it, and an MCP gateway that serves a managed API to agents.sap official, btp: the Global Error Handler and MuleSoft's built-in retries become Exception Subprocesses with scripted Groovy retry logic or JMS-based retry, since Cloud Integration has no automatic equivalent. MuleSoft's searchable logger text becomes Content Modifier headers and Groovy-scripted Message Log entries, correlated by application message ID and correlation ID for traceability across complex interfaces. The mapping is drawn from the author's own migration project across assessment, development and validation phases, and is explicitly flagged as not an SAP- or MuleSoft-approved design.

OData entity as a governed query surface for agents, not a toolpublishedAn OData entity, generated from the annotations a service already carries, as the surface an agent queries over SAP data: filterable, selectable and sortable fields, authorisation injected on the server side, and a bound query cost, instead of the entity as a tool.

#BTP #SAPCAP: Quirky Nuggets (N03-N04)publishedTwo unrelated findings in one post, which is the format of the series: the OData operators tried against a CAP service — with a schema of deliberately awkward types to try them on — and undeploying database artifacts, which is the half people hit in anger. Numbered N03 and N04 of a run that continues either side.
Dynamic OData from "any" API through SAP BTP KymapublishedPutting an OData face on a third-party API by way of Kyma, so the SAP side of a landscape can consume something that was never built for it. The word dynamic is doing work in the title — the shape is not modelled in advance.
Exposing Calculation View with Dynamic Client via OData APIpublishedGetting a HANA Cloud calculation view — built in Business Application Studio and deployed to an HDI container, which is the recommended way to build native HANA artifacts — out through an OData API. The gap it fills is the one between HANA-native development and a service a client can call, which CAP does not cover for artifacts it did not generate.

Covers the resulting server's configuration (Source, Tools and Prompts, with no Resources section for this source) and the two scopes an RFC-based server's policy adds beyond an API-sourced one, API.invoke and ESBMessaging.send, plus the RFC receiver adapter used at runtime. Demonstrates the flow with a purchase-order scenario where an AI client calls BAPI_PO_CREATE1 and BAPI_PO_GETDETAIL1 as MCP tools.

CAP in the age of AI #3 - from MCP to A2ApublishedThe episode that finishes @cap-js/mcp@cap-js/mcpA CAP plugin that serves an @mcp-annotated service over MCP with three generated tools, describe, query and call_action, and writes its endpoint into the local agent's configuration in development.sap official, cap with authorisation and then crosses to agents.
@requires and @restrict are the same annotations CAP already has, and the plugin reads them to filter the tool list and the describe output per user and per request, so a model is not told about entities the caller cannot reach — where the OData metadata of the same service lists every exposed entity regardless.

SAP Integration Suite + MCP: A Practical Architecture for AI Agents and SAPpublishedLays out the runtime chain for exposing S/4HANA APIs to an AI agent through SAP Integration SuiteSAP Integration SuiteSAP's integration service on BTP: Cloud Integration for orchestration, API Management in front of it, and an MCP gateway that serves a managed API to agents.sap official, btp: the agent calls a tool on the MCP Gateway, which is built from a governed API Artifact, which still runs on Cloud IntegrationCloud IntegrationBuilds and runs integration flows that process, route and map messages between cloud and on-premise systems, SAP and non-SAP, through prebuilt adapters; available only under an SAP Integration Suite plan.sap official, btp 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.

Building MCP Servers with SAP Integration Suite: What to Design, Not Just How to ConnectpublishedArgues 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.

A demo built against an SAP ECC backend shows an MCP client discovering and invoking several read-only BAPIs from natural-language prompts, with no custom wrapper code.
HANA AI Toolkit — Local MCP ServerpublishedAn MCP server that turns the hana-ml Python library into governed tools an agent can call against a HANA Cloud instance, shipped in the hana-ai toolkit and exposed over stdio, SSE and streamable HTTP. Its one firm rule is attributable execution: an audit module writes the MCP-side identity — agent, model, session, tool, redacted arguments — into the HANA connection before any SQL runs, and fails the call if that write fails. A worked example of governance on an MCP tool surface, from SAP's data side rather than CAP's.

cds up folding those steps into one command by a day.Bridging Python and SAP HANA: Inside the sqlalchemy-hana Open-Source DialectpublishedA 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 HANASAP HANASAP’s relational database platform, which stores application data and executes SQL and SQLScript in the database, available on-premise and as the managed service SAP HANA Cloud.sap official, btp. 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.
Building your knowledge graph on SAP HANA CloudpublishedDevtoberfest 2026 session DAT-11, in which two enterprise architects explain what a knowledge graph is and then build one on SAP HANA CloudSAP HANA CloudThe managed database under most of this: CAP's default target, the store Datasphere and Analytics Cloud sit on, and a service with plans and components.sap official, btp. 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 dataGraph, spatial and document dataStoring and querying data that is not plain rows, such as a network of relationships, a geometry or a JSON document, in the database that already holds the rows instead of in a separate store per model. Free-text search over entities is search; similarity over embeddings is retrieval-augmented generation.SAP only 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 CloudSAP Business Data CloudSAP's umbrella over the data estate: installed intelligent content and data products, a governed catalog they are published through, and a path out to SAP Databricks.sap official, btp.

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 toolingAgent toolingBuilding an agent into your own application — the tools it may call, the state it keeps between turns, and the framework it runs in. Distinct from MCP servers, which expose an application to somebody else's agent, and from agent guidance, which is knowledge handed to a coding agent.SAP and community, unassessed 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.

[BTP HANA Cloud Database] : How to access HANA Cloud Database & HDI Container in BTPpublishedGetting at the database your application already deployed to, which sounds trivial until the HDI container is the only thing that has credentials for it. Guidance for the case where the account is already configured and the question is only how to look inside.
2024/01最新版！Productivity Toolsを使ったCAPバックエンド開発②~HANA Cloud編~publishedIn Japanese, and the second of a pair — database connection through to calling the API from outside, with authorisation in between. The author dates the screenshots explicitly and warns that the UI may have moved since, which is the right disclaimer for a click-through guide.
Building a CAP App with Fiori Integration – Part 1: Environment & HANA Cloud SetuppublishedA trial account taken from nothing to a CAPM project with a HANA Cloud instance behind it. Everything here is prerequisites, which the author says outright — the application is in the parts that follow.
Configure an SAP CAP Application to Connect to an SAP HANA Cloud Database in Another Global Account or SubaccountpublishedThe case the tooling does not cover: the database is in a different global account, so there is no HDI container to bind and
cds deploy cannot do its usual job. Written for exactly that, and it says so in the subtitle — without HDI.Create a CAP Application with SAP HANA Cloud from Scratch and Deploy to Cloud FoundrypublishedThe whole lifecycle in one post rather than a series — model, service, HANA binding, build, deploy. Useful as a single reference for the order things have to happen in, which is the part that is easy to get wrong when it is spread over six posts.
Deploying CAP services with the in-memory SQLite databasepublishedIn-memory, deployed to Cloud Foundry — so the data is gone on restart, on purpose. For a service whose datastore does not need to survive anything, which is a narrower case than it sounds and a real one.
Distributed Resiliency of SAP CAP applications using SAP HANA Cloud (Multi-Zone Replication)publishedResilience defined the way an operator would — failures happen in a complex landscape and should go unnoticed by the user — and then what multi-zone replication on HANA Cloud means for the CAP application in front of it.
Extend SAP SuccessFactors on SAP BTP with CAP - Deploy to SAP HANA CloudpublishedThe deployment instalment of the author's SuccessFactors extension series — the project already exists and the imported service is already modelled, so this is only the move onto HANA Cloud. Depends on the two posts before it and says so.
Fullstack CAP Application with HANA Cloud (Decoupled Architecture) [Part-3]publishedThe cloud database appears: a HANA Cloud instance created on BTP and mapped to a Cloud Foundry space. No application code — this is the part where the platform has to be right before the next part can connect to it.
Fullstack CAP Application with HANA Cloud (Decoupled Architecture) [Part-4]publishedThe switch from SQLite to HANA and the first deploy of the back end to Cloud Foundry — the point in the series where the persistence stops being a file and the build starts producing HDI artifacts.
How to create an API to run a HANA Cloud Stored Procedure in Cloud FoundrypublishedReaching past CDS to the database's own machinery — built-in algorithms, SQLScript procedures and functions — and putting an API in front of them. Long, and it is the case where the model is not where the logic belongs.
Hybrid testing using PostgreSQL on SAP BTP, hyperscaler optionpublishedA short note rather than a guide — the author says they came across the feature reading someone else's post on PostgreSQLPostgreSQLA relational database. For CAP it is the production database when the answer is not HANA, reached through an adapter that translates CDS queries into its SQL. with Kyma. Hybrid testing against a real PostgreSQL instance, which until then people assumed meant HANA.
Lets Deep dive into CAPM and HANA Cloud --> HANACappublishedShort, and framed as what the author does day to day on BTP rather than as a tutorial: where CAPM meets HANA Cloud and which pieces have to agree.
Part 1: Creating and Deploying a SAP CAP Application with SAP HANA on SAP BTP (Cloud Foundry)publishedOpens with the observation the whole series rests on — CAP is usually demonstrated locally, and the interesting part starts when it is deployed. Part one of the run that continues into PostgreSQLPostgreSQLA relational database. For CAP it is the production database when the answer is not HANA, reached through an adapter that translates CDS queries into its SQL. and Work Zone.
Run and Deploy SAP CAP (Java) with PostgreSQL on SAP BTP Cloud FoundrypublishedSuperseded by its own author: the post now opens with a notice that @sap/cds@sap/cdsThe CAP Node.js runtime, which compiles the CDS model, serves the services declared in it, answers generic requests before any handler runs, and loads every cds-plugin.sap official, cap 7.0.0 brought native PostgreSQLPostgreSQLA relational database.

Kept because that notice is the record of when the community adapter stopped being the answer.
Run and Deploy SAP CAP (Node.js or Java) with PostgreSQL on SAP BTP Cloud FoundrypublishedBoth runtimes in one walkthrough, and it stops on schema evolution — which is the reason to read it rather than one of the several other PostgreSQLPostgreSQLA relational database. For CAP it is the production database when the answer is not HANA, reached through an adapter that translates CDS queries into its SQL. posts here, since that is where the PostgreSQL story diverges from HANA's and the deploy stops being automatic.
SAP BTP Showcase - Use SAP Cloud Application Programming to do Native Development on HANA CloudpublishedThe fifth of a seven-post showcase, and the one where CAP is used to reach HANA-native artifacts rather than to avoid them. Long, and it sits inside a series whose other parts are about Data Warehouse Cloud and CI/CD.
SAP CAP Lessons Learned: Run a CAP app using SQLite on SAP BTP - Cloud FoundrypublishedSQLite past the point it is meant to go — deployed, not local. Written as a lesson learned rather than a recommendation, and it pairs with the author's own note that SQLite is single threaded.
Setting Up PostgreSQL for SAP BTP Development: A Practical GuidepublishedOpens with the premise the rest of this bucket mostly assumes away — not every BTP application needs HANA Cloud — and then sets up PostgreSQLPostgreSQLA relational database. For CAP it is the production database when the answer is not HANA, reached through an adapter that translates CDS queries into its SQL. on the hyperscaler option. Part one of a series that continues into XSUAA.
SFSFとHANA Cloudを使用するCAPのアプリケーション開発publishedIn Japanese. A hands-on taking data between SuccessFactors and HANA Cloud through a CAP application — the connection setup, the data and service models, then read and write logic, and a Cloud Foundry deploy. Long enough to carry its own table of contents.
Sharing SAP HANA Cloud instance to multiple subaccounts and creating HDI containerspublishedOne HANA Cloud instance, several subaccounts, an HDI container created from each — the arrangement that keeps a landscape from paying for a database per subaccount. Written against a CAP project, so the container mapping is shown from the side that has to consume it.
Simple steps to deploy your CAP project to HANA cloudpublishedWritten from the far side of a failed deploy — the author says these are the troubleshooting steps that ended up working, not a designed procedure. Short, and honest about being a record rather than a recommendation.
SQLite as database for a multi-target (/productive) CAP ApplicationpublishedOpens with "Not recommended but possible", and then names the two cases where it is the right call anyway: a showcase, and a landscape with no HANA Cloud available. The caveat is the content.
Connect SAP CAP (Node.js) to On-Premise/Private PostgreSQL using SAP Cloud ConnectorpublishedAn end-to-end route from a CAP Node.js application on Cloud Foundry to a PostgreSQLPostgreSQLA relational database. For CAP it is the production database when the answer is not HANA, reached through an adapter that translates CDS queries into its SQL. database that is never made publicly reachable, over BTP Connectivity and the Cloud Connector using a TCP destination and SOCKS5. The part worth having is that it covers the deployer as well as the server: the generated PostgreSQL deployer has to reach the same private database to deploy the CDS model, and a guide that only connects the runtime leaves you with a schema you cannot install.
SAP HANA Cloud as an Esri GeodatabasepublishedSAP's design for running an Esri ArcGIS Enterprise geodatabase inside SAP HANA CloudSAP HANA CloudThe managed database under most of this: CAP's default target, the store Datasphere and Analytics Cloud sit on, and a service with plans and components.sap official, btp, so that geometries and SAP business data sit in one database and are joined in a HANA calculation view, which is the spatial part of graph, spatial and document dataGraph, spatial and document dataStoring and querying data that is not plain rows, such as a network of relationships, a geometry or a JSON document, in the database that already holds the rows instead of in a separate store per model.

It traces three personas: an analyst in ArcGIS Pro building query layers over that view, a developer whose CAP@sap/cdsThe CAP Node.js runtime, which compiles the CDS model, serves the services declared in it, answers generic requests before any handler runs, and loads every cds-plugin.sap official, cap application models spatial types such as ST_Point in CDS, and an analyst using a Fiori app on top of such an application. The deployment advice stops at placement: ArcGIS Server and HANA Cloud go in the same region and availability zone, because Esri's certified architectures allow under 5 milliseconds of network latency between them.
Integrating Using Google Cloud Storage Adapter (GCP Authentication & adapter config)publishedWalks through connecting SAP Integration SuiteSAP Integration SuiteSAP's integration service on BTP: Cloud Integration for orchestration, API Management in front of it, and an MCP gateway that serves a managed API to agents.sap official, btp's Google Cloud Storage adapter to a bucket: creating a GCP service account with the Storage Object Admin role, generating its JSON or P12 key, converting it into a key-pair alias, and using that alias and the service account email in the adapter's authentication. It covers configuring the receiver adapter's upload operation (directory, object name, content type, and override, ignore or fail handling for an existing file) and the sender adapter's read, including post-processing to archive, delete or keep the object after an iFlow fetches it.

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 environmentSAP BTP ABAP environmentSAP's ABAP runtime on BTP: ABAP systems developed in the ABAP Cloud model on SAP HANA Cloud, for cloud apps, OData services and side-by-side extensions of SAP S/4HANA.sap official, btp.

Sending Emails from SAP CAP Applications with Any SMTP ProviderpublishedWalks through sending mail from a CAP application with no dedicated mail service: create an SMTP destination for a Gmail account in the SAP BTP cockpit, bind it to the Cloud Foundry app, and call the sap-cf-mailer npm package from a CAP service handler naming that destination.

This part sets up the business problem; the propagation itself is in the parts that follow.
Connect to Public Cloud API in Node.js via Authorisation CodepublishedThe authorisation code flow rather than client credentials, which is the harder half: a service key, an XSUAA instance bound to the CAP app, and a destination, with the author saying plainly that this was challenging and they hope it saves somebody the same time.
Consume Remote Services in a Full-Stack CAP ApplicationpublishedExtending the Developer's Guide application with a remote S/4HANA service — connectivity, importing the Business Partner API, and running against it. SAP publishes this as four separate paths: mock server or real S/4HANA Cloud, times Cloud Foundry or Kyma. One entry covers all four, because the difference between them is which backend and which runtime, not what you learn.
Consuming data from SAP Datasphere in SAP BTP CAP ApplicationspublishedDatasphere as the source a CAP application reads from — the case for it being that Datasphere already unified the SAP and non-SAP data, so the application does not have to. From a real project.
Extend SAP SuccessFactors on SAP BTP with the SAP Cloud Application Programming ModelpublishedTwelve tutorials, about two hours, building a side-by-side extension of SuccessFactors on BTP. The spine is remote services: importing the SuccessFactors OData service definitions into a CAP model, then treating them as entities the extension reads and writes through, rather than as an API called from a handler. Indexed as one entry because the parts only make sense in order.
Fullstack CAP Application with HANA Cloud (Decoupled Architecture) [Part-5]publishedThe consequence of decoupling: with the back end live on its own Cloud Foundry route, the front end needs a BTP destination to reach it rather than a relative path. Short, and it is the join the architecture creates.
Part 3: Architecting Complex Real Life Business Scenario on SAP BTP with ease [ Targeting Multiple backend S/4HANA Systems utilizing Principal Propagation ]publishedThe final part, and the one with the most CAP in it — the service consuming the propagated destinations, and what the handler sees. Read the three together; the series is one piece.
Part2: Architecting Complex Real Life Business Scenario on SAP BTP with ease [ Targeting Multiple backend S/4HANA Systems utilizing Principal Propagation ]publishedThe middle part: the destinations and the trust that make principal propagation work against several backends rather than one, which is where the configuration stops being a copy of the tutorial.
Use SCP CF Destination service in NodeJs locallypublishedReading a destination from a laptop, where the environment variable the destination service normally provides does not exist. A small gap with a real cost, since the alternative is deploying to test every change to a remote call.
Implementing Dynamic Subaccount-Based Routing in SAP CAP with SAP BTP DestinationspublishedWhy 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.

Generating PDF on BTP CF using CAP and PuppeteerpublishedA headless browser rendering the PDF, which is the answer people reach for when the document is really a web page. The Cloud Foundry part is the difficulty: Puppeteer needs a browser in the buildpack, and that is what the post is actually about.
Using Custom Actions to display PDF from SAP BTP Forms service into a CAP SAPUI5 applicationpublishedA requirement that arrived after the application was finished — render a PDF from the record currently open on an object page — and the join it needed: the Forms service bound to the CAP application, a custom action on the service, and a button on the object page header calling it.

IntegrAItion: Event-Driven IntelligencepublishedA 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.

SAP Advanced Event Mesh – Manage Advance Event Mesh with API’spublishedMaps the API surface of SAP Advanced Event Mesh: the REST API(v2) for administering the cloud environment and its event broker services (with legacy v0/v1 noted as discouraged), SEMP(v2) for provisioning and operating a single event broker, and the open protocols and standards it supports for consuming events, among them JMS, OpenMAMA, REST, AMQP 1.0, MQTT and WebSocket. Covers how each API authenticates — bearer tokens with scoped permissions for REST API(v2), username/password or OAuth2/certificate-based for SEMP(v2) — and where to find the connection details and reference documentation for each.
SAP Event Mesh Architecture PatternspublishedNine architectural patterns for wiring producers and consumers through queues, topics and webhooks: single-subscriber point-to-point delivery, fan-out to multiple subscribers, filtering several event types into one subscriber, domain-scoped topic subscriptions, an aggregator that bundles related events, a multi-stage enrichment pipeline, scatter-gather over parallel requests, a dead-letter queue for poison messages, and pushing events to an HTTP webhook. Each pattern states its motivation, a pros-and-cons pair, when to use it and example queue or topic names.

Designing Event-Driven Applicationsparts, areas, edges, explains revisedThe record states what its source draws around and between the parts (docs/concepts/reference-architectures.md §9.2): SAP cloud applications, SAP BTP and the third-party landscape as areas, the extension application the readme's flow names, and the event flow from an SAP cloud application to the hub and from a third-party broker over the bridge to SAP's event services. The checker's reading of the first draft: the bridge's SAP end now rests on the two sentences that name advanced event mesh and the Event Mesh capability as SAP's event brokers; SAP BTP is a zone of SAP's cloud, since the readme names no subaccount, and the two capabilities stand beside Integration Suite rather than within it; and the piece no longer explains async-processing, which is in-process work its own summary sets aside.
SAP Codejam on Event Driven Build ProcesspublishedA 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 MeshSAP Integration Suite, advanced event meshAn event streaming, event management and monitoring platform for event-driven architecture, offered within SAP Integration Suite.sap official, btp, where the author configures topics, queues and subscriptions and forwards it through a REST Delivery Point to SAP Build Process AutomationSAP Build Process AutomationSAP's low-code and no-code tool for business processes: graphical process models, drag-and-drop forms, decision tables and robotic process automation bots, with dashboards over running process instances.sap official, btp, which runs a business process with a human approval step and an asynchronous callback to a third-party system.

Selects fields and expands associations with $select/$expand against an EDMX from the API Business Hub, and works around the OData V2 adapter's lack of JSON support by falling back to the HTTP adapter with an XML-to-JSON converter. Flags the trade-off: the pattern needs no backend change beyond activating the API, but the polled payload has to stay aligned with whatever event format the ERP pushes on change.
Migrating from ASANWEE to ASAAEMEE: From SAP Event Mesh to SAP Advanced Event MeshpublishedA migration walkthrough for switching an SAP ERP or S/4HANA on-premise system from classic SAP Event MeshEvent MeshManaged queues and topics over AMQP, MQTT and a REST gateway, and the bus SAP's own applications publish their business events to.sap official, btp to SAP Advanced Event MeshSAP Integration Suite, advanced event meshAn event streaming, event management and monitoring platform for event-driven architecture, offered within SAP Integration Suite.sap official, btp: new RFC destinations to the broker's REST, handshake and token endpoints, trusting its certificate, activating the AEM business configuration set, and re-pointing the NetWeaver Add-On for Event Enablement's outbound object and dynamic topic mapping at the new instance.

[Blog Post] SAP Event Mesh - Consuming S4 events simultaneously in CAP-based applications and SAP Integration SuitepublishedOne S/4HANA event, two consumers at once: a CAP Java application and SAP Integration Suite. Late in a long Deep Dive series and written as such — the queues, the S/4HANA connection and the Integration Suite side were all established in earlier posts, so this is the part where they meet.
[Blog Post] SAP Event Mesh – CAP based implementation of SAP Event Mesh in a Single-Tenant ScenariopublishedThe instalment of the Deep Dive series where the framework arrives. The earlier posts consumed Event MeshEvent MeshManaged queues and topics over AMQP, MQTT and a REST gateway, and the bus SAP's own applications publish their business events to.sap official, btp over its REST API, so this one is explicitly a comparison: the same thing through CAP's messaging abstraction, with the three flavours — local, file-based and a real broker — named before the broker one is built.
CAP - Specifying the queues to be consumed from SAP Event MeshpublishedWritten against the edge of the convention rather than the convention. CAP creates one queue per application and names it for you; this is the case where the queue already exists, belongs to someone else, or there is more than one of them. The oldest Event MeshEvent MeshManaged queues and topics over AMQP, MQTT and a REST gateway, and the bus SAP's own applications publish their business events to.sap official, btp post indexed here, and the only one about taking the naming back.
Event Driven Architecture with Event Mesh - Part-1publishedContinues the author's own CDS entity-relationship example rather than starting a fresh one, which is the point of it — the same model gains events. Concepts first, then a message client and queue on BTP, then a Postman check that the queue works before any CAP code is written, and finally the emit from a CAP REST service.
Event Driven Architecture with Event Mesh – Part-2publishedPart 1 published a message and stopped there; this closes the loop by giving it somewhere to go. A REST API built in Integration Suite is registered as a webhook on the Event MeshEvent MeshManaged queues and topics over AMQP, MQTT and a REST gateway, and the bus SAP's own applications publish their business events to.sap official, btp queue, and the chain is run end to end — CAP to Event Mesh to Integration Suite to Twilio — so the consumer side and the webhook configuration are what this adds.
Event-Driven Multi-Tenant Architecture on SAP BTP with CAP and SAP Event MeshpublishedThe two topics that are usually written about separately, taken together — because a shared broker is where tenant isolation stops being automatic. It starts from why microservices are decoupled at all, places Event MeshEvent MeshManaged queues and topics over AMQP, MQTT and a REST gateway, and the bus SAP's own applications publish their business events to.sap official, btp among the four broker services BTP offers, and then works through what changes when the publisher and the consumer are multitenant.
How to use a CAP application to manage DMQ messages on SAP Advanced Event MeshpublishedA CAP application built for the failure path rather than the happy one. Messages that land in a Dead Message Queue are deleted for good when their TTL expires, so this pulls them out first and holds them in quarantine, where a Fiori elements UI lets someone inspect a payload, correct it and reinject it. An operations tool, and a rare write-up of what to do after delivery has already failed.
Implementing Event-Driven Architecture in CAP Java using SAP Event MeshpublishedPublish and consume from the Java stack, which most of the Event MeshEvent MeshManaged queues and topics over AMQP, MQTT and a REST gateway, and the bus SAP's own applications publish their business events to.sap official, btp writing on the community does not cover. The MTA declaration and the credentials come first, then the emit and the handler, then the two sections that make it worth keeping: error handling with retries, and securing the events with OAuth.
Integrating SAP S/4HANA Invoicing with KSeF Using SAP Event Mesh and CAPpublishedA concrete regulatory deadline rather than a demo topic: every Polish invoice has to pass through KSeF, the national e-invoice platform, and this proposes the route — S/4HANA business events onto Event MeshEvent MeshManaged queues and topics over AMQP, MQTT and a REST gateway, and the bus SAP's own applications publish their business events to.sap official, btp, a CAP application consuming them and talking to KSeF. Short, and offered as an example to argue with.
Publish events from CAP Node.js applications to Event Mesh of Integration SuitepublishedThe smallest complete example:
cds init, a service with one function, cds.connect.to('messaging') and an emit to a topic. Deliberately scoped — the Event MeshEvent MeshManaged queues and topics over AMQP, MQTT and a REST gateway, and the bus SAP's own applications publish their business events to.sap official, btp setup is skipped and the subaccount is assumed to be the same one — so what remains is the handful of lines on the CAP side and the binding that makes them reach the broker.Designing Event-Driven ApplicationspublishedSAP's guidance for building applications on event-driven architecture with BTP services. It sets out a two-part strategy: SAP Cloud Application Event HubSAP Cloud Application Event HubDistributes the business events SAP cloud applications publish to the other SAP cloud applications in a landscape, with subscriptions managed in its own UI and no topics or queues to configure.sap official, btp for events between SAP cloud applications and BTP, and the SAP Integration SuiteSAP Integration SuiteSAP's integration service on BTP: Cloud Integration for orchestration, API Management in front of it, and an MCP gateway that serves a managed API to agents.sap official, btp family for dedicated event brokers in hybrid landscapes. Its sub-pages then cover EDA patterns, design considerations and AWS and Azure IoT integration.

From opportunity to decision: Intelligent Credit Checks with AI Adapter in SAP Cloud IntegrationpublishedDevtoberfest 2026 session INT-12, in which an integration consultant builds two scenarios around the AI adapter in Cloud IntegrationCloud IntegrationBuilds and runs integration flows that process, route and map messages between cloud and on-premise systems, SAP and non-SAP, through prebuilt adapters; available only under an SAP Integration Suite plan.sap official, btp. The first integration flow is triggered by a Salesforce opportunity event, reads that customer's history from S/4HANA over its OData APIs and calls a sales agent through the AI adapter, which writes a credit status and a credit rating band back onto the opportunity for the sales representative to act on; the second calls an operations agent from an exception subprocess and raises a Jira ticket carrying the suggested resolution, the related past tickets and the average resolution time recorded for the issue. The session places the adapter among the HTTP, Open Connectors and application-specific adapter routes, names its SAP Generative AI Hub, OpenAI and Claude variants, and gives the build effort as roughly 50 to 60 hours for the OData calls against the adapter configuration's two tabs.
SAP Cloud Integration chamber of horrorspublishedA Devtoberfest 2026 integration-track session that goes through anti-patterns in Cloud IntegrationCloud IntegrationBuilds and runs integration flows that process, route and map messages between cloud and on-premise systems, SAP and non-SAP, through prebuilt adapters; available only under an SAP Integration Suite plan.sap official, btp iFlows: scripts that re-implement flow steps or make external calls, the ESB_Messaging.send role on every sender channel, default flow-step names, dependence on undocumented platform internals, code that rewrites what the Groovy and Java libraries already hold, XML namespaces stripped to simplify XPath, HTTP calls between iFlows on one tenant where ProcessDirect would stay inside it, externalised parameters too few or too many, and MPL attachments left switched on in production. Each one comes with how to spot it — long scripts, jar files for SFTP communication, the design guidelines and upgrade readiness checks, or a rule in the presenter's own CPILint run locally or in a pipeline — and that pass over flow steps, sender roles, adapters and the message processing log is what the Integration flowsIntegration flowsMoving and transforming messages between systems in middleware instead of in application code: an integration flow with its adapters and mappings, and the runtime it executes on. Reaching a remote system from application code is destinations, and brokering events between systems is Event Mesh.SAP only edge rests on. The questions afterwards cover the GitHub integration in Cloud Integration, the absence of an official MCP server for building iFlows, and whether generated code shifts the choice between mapping, XSLT and scripting.

The adapter is published as a community demo and not SAP-certified or production-validated; Part III covers building the SAP ADK project itself.

The v1.1.0 release adds mutual TLS client-certificate authentication against the broker, fixes an OSGi classloader bug where a redeployed bundle's static registry lost track of a still-open relay socket from the previous classloader (fixed with a JVM-wide System-property registry instead), replaces infinite retry loops on fatal configuration errors with a fail-fast stop, corrects two offset-handling bugs in timestamp-based message recovery, adds a parallel-consumer option, and drops a planned OAuth2 strategy because no tier of the tested broker services (Confluent Cloud, Redpanda Cloud, Aiven) exposed it for testing on a free plan. The author reports the release validated across 3,000,000 messages over four simultaneous listeners (PLAINTEXT, SASL, SASL_SSL, mTLS) on an SAP BTP Trial tenant with zero failures, closing the adapter's Consumer side before a planned Producer adapter.

Resend HTTP messages with configured pause and fixed max iteration followed by error handlingpublishedBuilds a retry pattern for a Cloud IntegrationCloud IntegrationBuilds and runs integration flows that process, route and map messages between cloud and on-premise systems, SAP and non-SAP, through prebuilt adapters; available only under an SAP Integration Suite plan.sap official, btp HTTP Receiver call by splitting the request-reply step into its own local sub-process, which loops on the response code — up to a fixed five iterations, each after a configured pause — and routes to an exception sub-process that attaches the message processing log through Groovy once the count is exceeded or another error occurs. The design is the author's own alternative to the platform's retry pattern and inbuilt HTTP Receiver Adapter retry option, built for cases where neither applies; SAP Event Mesh and SAP Advanced Event Mesh are named only as the queue-based alternative the author considered and set aside.
How to Configure Retry Mechanism in SAP BTP CI/IS to Handle Only Connectivity Errors when using AEMpublishedShows how to configure a Cloud IntegrationCloud IntegrationBuilds and runs integration flows that process, route and map messages between cloud and on-premise systems, SAP and non-SAP, through prebuilt adapters; available only under an SAP Integration Suite plan.sap official, btp iFlow with an AEM sender so only connectivity errors trigger a retry: a Groovy script reads the CamelHttpResponseCode header and looks it up in a value map, and a router then sends a transient failure such as a 408 timeout down the retry path, where the retry limit set in AEM applies, and an error needing manual intervention, such as a 401, down a path that ends the flow at once and emails the team. It applies only to receiver adapters that return CamelHttpResponseCode, among them HTTP, SOAP, IDoc and OData. It builds on an earlier post of the author's, which this one does not name, where an email goes out after the final retry attempt.

It also maps a sender's actual business system name to an alias held in the Partner Directory, so the same XI and IDoc scenario definitions run across DEV, QA and PRD stages without converting names when transporting between them.
SFTP File Level Checks in SAP BTP Cloud IntegrationpublishedFor an SFTP flow in Cloud IntegrationCloud IntegrationBuilds and runs integration flows that process, route and map messages between cloud and on-premise systems, SAP and non-SAP, through prebuilt adapters; available only under an SAP Integration Suite plan.sap official, btp that an external party triggers, the post recommends polling with SFTP Poll-Enrich rather than relying on the Sender SFTP adapter and its built-in scheduler, and because Poll-Enrich polls one file per trigger, the design is a Main flow whose Looping Process Call repeatedly invokes a Local Integration Process that holds the Poll-Enrich step. On top of that design, it adds four router conditions, each checked against
SAP_PollEnrichMessageFound, CamelLoopIndex, CamelFileName or CamelFileLength: no file found on the first poll, no more files left mid-loop, more than one file present when exactly one should be processed, and an empty file, each letting the flow terminate or raise an exception instead of failing on an unhandled read.End-to-End Error Handling with General Splitter and Local FlowspublishedA Cloud IntegrationCloud IntegrationBuilds and runs integration flows that process, route and map messages between cloud and on-premise systems, SAP and non-SAP, through prebuilt adapters; available only under an SAP Integration Suite plan.sap official, btp iFlow splits an incoming XML payload with the General Splitter, calls an OData service in parallel for each part and gathers the results, then hands a failed call to an Exception Subprocess, where a Process Call reaches a Local Integration Process that calls a separate exception-handling iFlow over ProcessDirect. In that second flow a Content Modifier puts the interface ID and the stack trace into message headers and the tenant, flow and message ID into exchange properties, a Groovy script saves the message as a plain-text log attachment, and the Mail adapter sends the stack trace as an email; the failure itself is provoked by removing the https prefix from the OData URL. Each step is given with its own configuration, from the splitter's XPath and batch size to the ProcessDirect address format and the headers the exception handler sets.

${file:ext} expression, and uses a Router to send XML files on to a second SFTP server while any other extension, or a missing XML file, triggers an alert. The alert is a Mail adapter step authenticated against Gmail's SMTP server with an app password, so the piece covers an adapter, a router condition and a mail step as parts of one flow.Improving Exception Handling using Generative AI in SAP Cloud Integration (SAP CI/CPI)publishedWires an Exception Subprocess in Cloud IntegrationCloud IntegrationBuilds and runs integration flows that process, route and map messages between cloud and on-premise systems, SAP and non-SAP, through prebuilt adapters; available only under an SAP Integration Suite plan.sap official, btp to send a failed iFlow's caught exception text to Google GeminiGoogle GeminiGoogle's generative AI models, called over the Gemini API with a key Google bills to whoever holds it.

A Content Modifier holds the API key and the prompt as externalised properties, which the post says is what lets another model be put in their place, and a closing Groovy script writes the extracted fields to custom headers and log attachments and rebuilds them as an XML error response. The exception-subprocess wiring is given step by step and so is the Gemini call with its request format, which is why the piece sits on integration flowsIntegration flowsMoving and transforming messages between systems in middleware instead of in application code: an integration flow with its adapters and mappings, and the runtime it executes on.

New Pipeline for Cloud Integration features with version 1.0.11publishedVersion 1.0.11 of the Process Integration Pipeline package for Cloud IntegrationCloud IntegrationBuilds and runs integration flows that process, route and map messages between cloud and on-premise systems, SAP and non-SAP, through prebuilt adapters; available only under an SAP Integration Suite plan.sap official, btp changes two defaults the post says require attention. The "tilde option", which built a partner ID by joining the sender system and interface names, is now switched off: a message whose partner ID cannot be resolved through an alternative partner goes into an error that is resolved by fixing the Partner Directory entry and restarting the message, instead of being constructed under an ID that may not exist there and left on the first JMS queue with no way to correct its partner ID header. Keeping the old behaviour means setting the externalised parameter CustomXPid_SwitchOffTilde to false in the five generic flows that call the partner-ID script; the default inbound processing queue also moves from PIPQ01 to PIPX01 in the generic XI and IDoc inbound flows, so those messages go to the integrated messaging runtime rather than the fully decoupled pipeline.

Exploring SAP Salesforce Adapter - retry mechanism with JMS queuepublishedBuilds a retry design for Salesforce update failures in Cloud IntegrationCloud IntegrationBuilds and runs integration flows that process, route and map messages between cloud and on-premise systems, SAP and non-SAP, through prebuilt adapters; available only under an SAP Integration Suite plan.sap official, btp on SAP Integration SuiteSAP Integration SuiteSAP's integration service on BTP: Cloud Integration for orchestration, API Management in front of it, and an MCP gateway that serves a managed API to agents.sap official, btp: a Parent iFlow triggered by a Salesforce push topic calls a Child iFlow, whose Exception Subprocess routes specific Salesforce errors to a separate JMS Retry PD iFlow over a ProcessDirect target address. The retry iFlow stores the failed payload in a JMS queue (Enterprise Edition), retries up to five times with exponential backoff, moves exhausted messages to the dead-letter queue, and mails the Application Maintenance team; the author notes the queue's 10 GB size limit and that polling may pause under load.
New CI Pipeline Restart Extension features: supporting new Pipeline package and improved Restart JobpublishedA restart extension for Cloud IntegrationCloud IntegrationBuilds and runs integration flows that process, route and map messages between cloud and on-premise systems, SAP and non-SAP, through prebuilt adapters; available only under an SAP Integration Suite plan.sap official, btp pipelines, in version 1.0.1: a Value Mapping or a technical-ID prefix check resolves which pipeline stage a failed message belongs to, so a custom receiver IFlow copy can be linked to the right stage even when its ID does not follow the standard naming, and a Generic Job Profile restarts every scenario resolved through the Alternative Partner approach instead of only the interfaces named in a fixed list. A new RestartJobLog parameter stores each run's log as a Message Processing Log attachment, in the database, or via a custom IFlow, and a companion "Pipeline API – Restart Job Log" Integration Flow retrieves that log or the Restart Job's own MPL details.

This package, published on SAP Business Accelerator Hub, replaces that path with Data Store entries written through the pipeline's custom exception-handling exit, a scheduled Restart Job Integration Flow, and two optional HTTP APIs for on-demand restarts and Data Store management. Entry names encode the partner ID, the pipeline stage, the message ID and a retry count, so messages can be filtered and restarted by scenario instead of moved one by one in the queue monitor.

Once those two are in place, SAP Build lists the exposed BAPIs and RFCs for use in an action.
The ECC-to-CAP Starter KitpublishedA Devtoberfest 2026 session that builds a CAP service and a Fiori elements list report over an SAP ECC gateway service, on the argument that the CAP project, its contract and its UI survive a later move to SAP S/4HANA while the APIs behind them change.

Meet Joule Studio and Build your First AI AgentpublishedA Devtoberfest 2026 session from the product manager of Joule StudioJoule StudioSAP’s managed development environment for building custom agents, applications and workflows from business intent, in six phases from intent and specification to deployment on an SAP-managed runtime.sap official, umbrella, 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.

Custom Joule Agent for SAP Ariba SLP - Building an AI Agent for Supplier Registration ApprovalpublishedBuilds a Joule Studio agent that reviews SAP Ariba SLP supplier registration tasks: four custom skills bind to Ariba's API (pending tasks, task detail, questionnaire answers, post a decision), each needing a precisely configured BTP destination and action, and the agent's own Expertise, Instructions and Additional Context sections carry the domain knowledge, the step order, and the scoring rubrics that decide approve, deny or deny-with-resubmit.

SAP Agentic AI in Practice: Building the SAP Exception Log Triage Agent (Part 3 of 6)publishedPart 3 of a six-part series builds a router agent that classifies incoming SM21 system log errors and SM37 job failures, delegates each to a specialized sub-agent built with LangGraph's create_react_agent, and correlates findings across both logs into a single severity score and escalation list. State moves through a typed dict shared between the router and its sub-agents, with tools that query SAP HANA tables directly; a reactive on-demand mode sits alongside a scheduled monitoring loop that compares error counts to a baseline and escalates automatically past a threshold. The router-plus-sub-agent split carries forward to Part 6, where the same router coordinates the assessment agents built in the series' other parts.

Opens with a section on libraries and workflows — which framework does what, and what is left to you — before any code.
Building an LLM Agent using CAPpublishedThe argument is that CAP is already most of what an agent framework wants — services, handlers, a typed model — so the agent is built inside it rather than beside it. AI Core through sap-ai-sdk, then Langchain for the agent and its tools. Long, with a TLDR at the top for people who want the shape without the walk.

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 workspacesAgent workspacesGiving people a workspace to direct agents, retain the context of a task and interact with its results across connected applications. This is the user-facing experience around agents; building their logic belongs to Agent tooling, and controlling their calls belongs to Tool governance.SAP only hold.

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 StudioJoule StudioSAP’s managed development environment for building custom agents, applications and workflows from business intent, in six phases from intent and specification to deployment on an SAP-managed runtime.sap official, umbrella, 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.

Describing the schema is shown to carry real judgment — what a missing end date should become, what a vague field name like "number" costs the model, who in a company should decide these things — and the piece argues that preparing for a project is chiefly a business task of writing down knowledge that otherwise stays in people's heads.

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.
🟣 Enable Your AI application to Run on Multiple Models to Ensure Resilience and CompliancepublishedDevtoberfest 2026 session AI-21. A cross product owner on the SAP AI CoreSAP AI CoreSAP's AI service on BTP: the runtime for AI assets, and through the Generative AI Hub inside it the access to foundation models, the orchestration service with its templating, masking, filtering and grounding modules, the Prompt Registry and Document Grounding.sap official, btp 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 managementPrompt managementKeeping the prompts an application sends to a model as templates with placeholders, stored and versioned apart from the code that calls them, so a change of wording is not a deployment.

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.
How to implement business AI capabilities in ABAP CloudpublishedA 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 SDKABAP AI SDKSAP'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.sap official, abap: 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 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 from ABAP code.

Unlocking Tabular Foundation Models: From Experimentation to ProductionpublishedA Devtoberfest 2026 session (AI-41) on taking tabular prediction from a playground to a deployment. It sets tabular foundation models against a model trained per use case and against language models reading rows as text, explains in-context learning as examples plus the rows whose target column is missing, and tries SAP RPT 1.6 on a train-delay dataset in the RPT playground, including the column and row importance it returns with the prediction. The same prediction is then rebuilt on SAP AI CoreSAP AI CoreSAP's AI service on BTP: the runtime for AI assets, and through the Generative AI Hub inside it the access to foundation models, the orchestration service with its templating, masking, filtering and grounding modules, the Prompt Registry and Document Grounding.sap official, btp, where the tabular orchestration service plays the part the orchestration service plays for language models: a data destination, a table artifact with its CSN schema and a scenario configuration registered once at design time, after which a predict call passes only the query rows, the scenario configuration and a context-selection strategy. The last demo runs those same calls in natural language through the aicore-skillsaicore-skillsFour agent skills for SAP AI Core, published as a plugin inside SAP's AI Skills Library: admin resources, the deployment lifecycle, the foundation models in the Generative AI Hub, and the Context Registry behind tabular prediction.sap official, btp plugin in a coding agent, and one of them only resolves once the agent is told which scenario configuration to use.

Agentic AI Security & GovernancepublishedNames seven threat categories agentic AI introduces beyond ordinary application security: prompt injection, excessive agency, supply-chain and model-integrity compromise, memory poisoning, improper output handling, resource abuse and agent-to-agent communication poisoning. Its answer is a defence-in-depth structure of security controls, input validation, privilege management, supply-chain checks, memory segmentation, output validation, execution quotas, secure communication, paired with governance and oversight: audit logging, explainability, human-in-the-loop review, fairness assessment and continuous monitoring. States the reason plainly: an agent decides, chains actions across turns, keeps memory between them and can act on real systems, a different risk profile from a single request-response call. That is the authorisation and audit-trail question tool governanceTool governanceControlling what an agent may call, with which authorisations, and leaving an audit trail of what it did.

An approach to secure multiple integrated SAP CAP java applications with a common XSUAA service instancepublishedOne XSUAA instance across several CAP Java applications that call each other, rather than one per application. Short, and written from inside SAP Labs as something the author tried — the value is the shape of the arrangement, not a walkthrough.
Authorization Management Service in SAP Cloud Identity ServicepublishedStates the direction of travel plainly — BTP moving authorization management from XSUAA to AMS inside SAP Cloud Identity Service — and then explains what a policy is, which is the unit that replaces a scope. Split between authorization for Cloud Identity itself and for custom business applications, and it is the concept post the CAP Java write-up refers back to.
Enabling Authorization Policies in SAP Cloud Identity Services - IAS with AMS/CAPpublishedAuthorization policies defined in Identity Authentication and consumed by a CAP application through AMS — the configuration half of the move away from XSUAA scopes, from the identity service's side rather than the application's.
How to get authenticated user information with CAP in three different ways – Using the XSUAA APIpublishedThe third of three approaches the author sets out, and the one that returns the most: going to the XSUAA API directly rather than reading what CAP already put on the request. Depends on an earlier post for the project setup, so it starts mid-stream on purpose.
Insights of Cloud SDK, CAP, XSUAA, SSH and other BTP topics from 2021publishedA 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.
SAP BTP XSUAA Security Configuration Comparison: Attribute-Based vs. Authority-Based ApproachespublishedTwo 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.SAP Job Scheduling Service + Cloud Application Programming Model application (CAP) + SAP Authorization and Trust Management Service (XSUAA)publishedCalling an unsecured endpoint on a schedule is trivial; this is the same thing once the endpoint is protected. The interesting part is the caller — the Job Scheduling Service is not a person, so CAP's pseudo-roles are where the post spends its time, and
$XSSERVICENAME has to match the scheduler's own instance name.Securing CAP Applications with SAP Cloud Identity Services and AMSpublishedIdentity Authentication and AMS together as the current answer for a CAP application — authentication, single sign-on and the identity lifecycle on one side, policies on the other.
Understanding security approaches in SAP CAP using XSUAA in node.js flavor and MTA.publishedThe long version, from the MTA project outward: what the deployment descriptor has to contain, how the authentication flow actually runs, and then the npm modules doing the work — @sap/xssec@sap/xssecToken validation and security context for XSUAA and IAS.sap official, cap and @sap/xsenv named and explained rather than left as dependencies. Old, and the module names have moved on, but the flow it draws has not.
Using Postman for API Testing with XSUAApublishedA way to get a JWT without routing traffic through the approuter and picking the token out of it. The author walks the alternatives first — redirect through the router, intercept the token — and says what is wrong with each, before requesting the token from the service directly.
Why developers should care about credential-types for xsuaa?publishedRotating secrets, argued from a habit rather than a feature: the author names the practice implicit in many beginner tutorials — lifting a secret out of a binding to use it elsewhere — and notes CAP has features that make it unnecessary in development. Then the three credential types side by side, configured on a CAP application's uaa resource in mta.yaml and through a deployment extension.
XSUAA Based Authentication - Using Managed ApprouterpublishedOne half of a pair published the same day, both starting from capire's list of authentication kinds and then going end to end on XSUAA. This is the managed approuter route, where the platform runs the router and the application supplies configuration rather than a module.
XSUAA Based Authentication - Using Standalone ApprouterpublishedThe other half: the same end-to-end XSUAA setup with an approuter you deploy and own. Published alongside the managed version, and the two are worth reading together because the difference between them is the whole decision.
XSUAA Local TestingpublishedAdding XSUAA to a CAP project two ways, and then the part that is usually missing: getting the authorisation to behave on a laptop rather than only after deployment. The default authentication mechanism is the easy half; testing it without a landscape is the reason this exists.
Dynamic authorisation with user attributes in SAP CAP and AMSpublishedThe same argument as the XSUAA-to-AMS piece, opened from a concrete failure: an acquisition puts 500 users on sales data restricted by division, and role-based access control answers it with Sales_Manager_EMEA, Sales_Manager_APAC and so on until the roles multiply past managing. Attribute-based authorisation replaces the set with one policy carrying a restriction, and the post walks through defining it in AMS against Cloud Identity Services. The clearest statement of role explosion among the three AMS pieces here.
From XSUAA to AMS: Architecting S4HANA CAP Extensions with Policy-Based AuthorizationpublishedWhy scope-based authorization runs out, argued from enterprise extension work rather than from the documentation: XSUAA handles roles well, but real requirements are business-context restrictions — country, company code, organisational unit — and expressing those as scopes does not scale. The migration to policy-based authorization is presented as an architectural move for S/4HANA extensions rather than a configuration change.
Securing a CAP Node.js App with SAP AMS on BTP Cloud FoundrypublishedThe end-to-end version: a CAP Node.js project from cds init, role-based access through the Authorization Management Service and Identity Authentication Service, and an MTA deployment to Cloud Foundry. The prerequisite list is the useful part to read first — HANA Cloud, an IAS tenant and an AMS entitlement — because it says plainly what this path costs before you are three steps into it.

#SAPCAP: Win Customer Trust using Data Privacy and Protection Services on BTP - Part 1publishedFirst of a three-part series on designing a CAP application on BTP that uses the platform's data privacyData privacyDoing what the law requires with personal data — knowing which fields are personal, answering a subject's request about them, and deleting them when the reason for holding them expires.SAP only services, and this part is the vocabulary before any of it: personal data, the rights a data subject has under GDPR, and the data controller and processor distinction, worked through an order-confirmation SMS example. It names four BTP services: SAP Personal Data ManagerSAP Personal Data ManagerA BTP service that finds data subjects, tells them which of their personal data an application or service stores and uses, and handles their requests about it.sap official, btp, SAP Data Retention ManagerSAP Data Retention ManagerA BTP service that holds residence and retention rules for applications' personal and transactional data, and triggers blocking, deletion, archiving and destruction.sap official, btp, SAP Data Privacy IntegrationSAP Data Privacy IntegrationA reuse service whose APIs an application calls for its data privacy duties: retention rules and deletion at the end of purpose, reports of the personal data held, and anonymisation of unstructured data.sap official, btp and SAP Audit Log serviceSAP Audit Log serviceIngests compliance audit data from BTP services and applications and keeps it for ninety days by default; retrieval and longer retention are separate services.sap official, btp. Only the first is described, as a service running in the Cloud Foundry environment that finds data subjects across one or more applications and services, makes requests on an individual's behalf about their personal information and forwards them for handling, and notifies individuals which of their personal information is being used or sends them a copy of their record by email; the CAP-side annotations and PDM's own application features follow in Part 2#SAPCAP: Win Customer Trust using Data Privacy and Protection Services on BTP - Part 2Walks through wiring a CAP service to SAP's Personal Data Manager (PDM) on BTP: entity, key and field-level @PersonalData annotations that mark data subjects and personal fields, the @PersonalData.IsPotentiallyPersonal / IsPotentiallySensitive distinction that drives audit logging, and the @Communication.Contact annotation PDM needs to search for a data subject.

SAP Cloud Integration (CI/CPI) - Reusable Script Collection Pattern for Sensitive Data MaskingpublishedOpens with the question compliance teams ask about Cloud IntegrationCloud IntegrationBuilds and runs integration flows that process, route and map messages between cloud and on-premise systems, SAP and non-SAP, through prebuilt adapters; available only under an SAP Integration Suite plan.sap official, btp, 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.

On the masking options, which the author says he confirmed with SAP AI Core product management, anonymization discards the original value and pseudonymization keeps it reversible; DPI recognizes person names, email addresses and phone numbers, plus custom entities defined by regex, which leaves commercially sensitive non-PII such as a revenue forecast or a project codename to pass through unless someone writes a pattern for it, and whether that data is covered at all is one of three answers the post marks as still pending. The "no training" assurance for third-party providers is read as contractual rather than technical, and models hosted and managed by SAP, Mistral among them, are named as a path other than a US-hyperscaler-hosted one.

The author's lessons learned tie the setup to the identity service's own constraints: the subaccount needs a Connectivity Plan and must share the Cloud Identity Service tenant's region, and on the ABAP side an IAS group lands as a Business Role rather than in SUGR, with the Login Name mapped to SU01's user field.
How to handle “usernames”, “Global User IDs” and “external IDs” in your landscape?publishedExplains what a username, a Global User ID and a SCIM2 external ID each are and when to use them: the username is the mutable attribute a person authenticates with, the Global User ID is the correlation attribute SAP uses when the same user must be identified between the applications they are provisioned into, and the external ID is mutable, defined by the client and optional within SCIM2. Argues against deriving any of the three from personal data, because they appear in read-only log files and other traces, some applications do not allow an ID change at all, and DevOps staff with access to those logs would otherwise see personal data they are not allowed to see. Recommends generating values without personal data, in uuid format, for technical integrations such as SAML or OIDC flows and SCIM-based replication, and keeping attributes like an email or display name for logon aliases and for what a user interface shows; notes that Cloud Identity ServicesCloud Identity ServicesIdentity Authentication and Identity Provisioning as one tenant: the login, the user store or the federation to a corporate identity provider, and the provisioning of users into whatever sits behind it.sap official, btp already generates the SCIM ID and Global User ID in uuid format for each record.

CAP on Kyma - Deploy your CAP apps to SAP BTP, Kyma RuntimepublishedThe post that superseded the author's own earlier one, written for cds and cds-dk 6 when Kyma deployment became something the tooling did rather than something you assembled. The current reference of the several Kyma posts here.
Deploy a Full-Stack CAP Application in SAP BTPpublishedFive tutorials taking the Developer's Guide application from running locally to running on BTP — preparation, the deployment itself, role assignment, and integration with Build Work Zone. Published twice, once for Cloud Foundry and once for Kyma, with the same shape and different descriptors; indexed once, because the second is the first with the runtime swapped.
Deploying a CAP Application to SAP Cloud Platform, Kyma runtime & connecting an iOS apppublishedKyma when it was new on the platform, taken from a CAP application through deployment to a native iOS client on the other end.

Exploring Application Frontend Service: Deploying the UI of an MTA ApppublishedApplication Frontend Service, which arrived in May 2026 and overlaps the HTML5 Application Repository without replacing it. The post is careful about the difference — single-tenant, stand-alone, and no Work Zone integration yet — which is what you need to decide between them.
Fullstack CAP Application with HANA Cloud (Decoupled Architecture) [Part-6]publishedThe last part: the Fiori application built and deployed into the HTML5 Application Repository, separately from the service it talks to.

The new way to consume Service Bindings on Kyma RuntimepublishedService bindings on Kyma, which had until then been a Cloud Foundry idea — how a BTP service reaches a workload in Kubernetes, and what changes for an application that expects VCAP_SERVICES.
The fastest way to a deployable CAP app on SAP BTP Cloud FoundrypublishedThe gap between an application that runs locally and one that runs deployed — binding, bundling, the database connection, authorization — treated as the problem rather than as setup. Since updated for cds up, which is the shortest answer the core now offers, and the post carries that update inline rather than leaving the original standing.
Tips for running CAP nodejs in SAP BTPpublishedDeliberately not a summary of capire: the author says up front that nothing here repeats the documented best practices, and the subject is configuration for running cloud-natively rather than correctly. Examples target Cloud Foundry, with the claim that they hold for Kyma too.
Architecting Multi-Region HA/DR resiliency patternspublishedPatterns for running BTP applications across regions when the default multi-availability-zone resilience is not enough: DNS-based load balancing across regional endpoints with Azure Traffic Manager, Route 53 or Cloud DNS, replication of data and configuration between regions, and the fundamentals of single-region versus multi-region resiliency in its sub-pages. BTP services are multi-AZ by default; a multi-region setup is something the customer architects, and this is SAP's description of how.
DevOps with SAP BTPpublishedHow SAP frames a delivery pipeline for applications on BTP Cloud Foundry: continuous integration through the SAP Continuous Integration and Delivery service and its pipeline templates for CAP and Fiori, transport and change management across environments, and a section on reasonable alternatives for teams with existing CI infrastructure. Culture first, tools second, and explicit that the setup differs on other BTP environments.

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.

Superseded by a newer version of this post; the quota math, custom-field steps and deprovisioning sequence here still hold.

It walks through fixed per-space roles, a shared multi-space role using a terms query, and a single dynamic role that substitutes ${user.roles} into the filter so the match is against the caller's own groups, then lists operational pitfalls — wildcard index patterns breaking Dashboards, DLS roles that also hold write access creating log entries nobody can read back, and match queries against a .keyword field being non-deterministic where term queries are exact.

SAP Cloud Logging Serviceでコンテナメトリクスを監視するpublishedIn Japanese. Container metrics for a CAP Node.js application into SAP Cloud Logging Service, and the reason it exists is that the obvious route does not apply: Spring Boot Actuator covers the Java side, and Node has no equivalent, so the author reaches for Telegraf instead. The procedure is deliberately independent of application logic — bind the instance, add a startup script and a config file — so it works against an application you already have.

Multitenant SaaS Application using CAPparts, areas, edges revisedThe record states what its source draws around and between the parts (docs/concepts/reference-architectures.md §9.2): the provider and consumer subaccounts, the users and API clients, and the flow of subscription, data and authentication as the architecture page states it. On the checker's reading of the first draft: only the application is placed in the provider subaccount, since the page places nothing else there; the registration with the SaaS Provisioning service is the stated direction, not events the service raises; and API Management's policies are stated with no path, so no arrow.
Building a SaaS Multitenant Application Using SAP CAP Framework — Without a DatabasepublishedMultitenancy with the database taken out, which is a useful way to see what is left: the approuter and its tenant host pattern, the XSUAA instance in shared tenant mode, and the SaaS Registry binding that makes a subscription happen. Everything here is subscription lifecycle and routing, so the parts that are usually entangled with HDI container provisioning are visible on their own.
Building SaaS Products on SAP BTPpublishedAn architecture essay rather than a build, written against SAP's own ABAP Cloud Partner Reference App material and explicitly extending it. Part one of a pair; the second is where the hard problem is.
CAP multitenancy with Work ZonepublishedA gap in the tooling and the manual edit that closes it.
cds add portal wires the Portal service, which is deprecated; Work Zone supports multitenancy but has no equivalent command. The author runs the portal command anyway and then rewrites the resource and module config in mta.yaml to point at Work Zone. Short, and honest that it is a workaround rather than a supported path.Designing a Multi‑Tenant Solutions on SAP BTP – Architecture and Prototype WalkthroughpublishedWritten back from a delivered project, and it lists the constraints that shaped it rather than the features that showcase it — several customers, strict data isolation, central lifecycle management, and operations kept simple.
Multitenant MTA: providing a Cloud Portal Service with FIORI apps to subscriber accountspublishedFiori applications reaching a subscriber's own launchpad, which is the part of multitenancy the runtime does not do for you. The author's motivation is that the information exists but is scattered across documentation, and this puts it in one place.
Multitenant SaaS applications on SAP BTP using CAP - The Reloaded Version!publishedAn announcement rather than a tutorial, and it is the one that changes how the rest of the series should be read: the Cloud Foundry and Kyma code lines and their documentation were merged into a single sample, so the runtime becomes a choice inside one repository instead of a fork in the reading path.
Multitenant SaaS applications on SAP BTP using CAP? SAP BTP, Kyma Runtime!publishedThe Kyma counterpart to the Cloud Foundry Tried-and-True series — the same SaaS application, the same requirements, a Kubernetes runtime underneath. The two code lines were later merged, which the Reloaded post announces.
Multitenant SaaS applications on SAP BTP using CAP? Tried-and-True!publishedThe opening post of the Cloud Foundry series, and the one that states the shape of the whole thing: a sample built out of a partner co-innovation project with BCG, then delivered in three graded versions — Basic, Advanced, Expert Features — against a fictional partner's requirements. Read it for the motivation and the map; the implementation is in the three that follow.
Multitenant SaaS apps on SAP BTP using CAP? Tried-and-True! – The Advanced VersionpublishedWhat the basic version leaves out and production needs: central user management, and reaching an on-premise S/4HANA from a subscribed tenant. Framed as a step towards production readiness rather than as production itself, which is the honest reading — the Expert Features post is where the rest of that distance is covered.
Multitenant SaaS apps on SAP BTP using CAP? Tried-and-True! – The Basic VersionpublishedThe version deliberately bounded by what a trial or pay-as-you-go account can hold — the authors point out a PAYG owner can run it for nothing on free-tier services. Scenario first, then the architecture diagram, then a component-by-component walk through what each service in it is for.
Multitenant SaaS apps on SAP BTP using CAP? Tried-and-True! – The Expert FeaturespublishedThe last of the four, and the one carrying the features that are optional until they are not. Each is written up as a self-contained tutorial in the sample repository rather than inline, so the post is a guide to which of them applies to your landscape.
SaaS Self-Onboarding and One-Domain Concept in SAP BTP, Kyma Runtime using CAPpublishedTwo requirements that only appear once a SaaS application has customers: subscribing a tenant end-to-end without the provider doing it by hand, and serving every tenant from one domain instead of one host per subscriber. Kyma runtime, and the post is a summary pointing at an Expert Feature tutorial in the sample repository — it says so itself, offering a one-minute read as the entry point.
Simplifying SaaS Self-Onboarding Automation using Terraform in Kyma and Cloud FoundrypublishedSelf-onboarding automated with Terraform across both runtimes rather than one, which is the point — the same subscriber flow described for Kyma and for Cloud Foundry side by side.
Using the Terraform Provider for SAP BTP to simplify Subscriber Tenant OnboardingpublishedSubscriber onboarding expressed as infrastructure rather than as a runbook — the BTP Terraform provider doing the account-side work that a SaaS provider otherwise does by hand for every tenant. Part of the same author's multitenancy series.

It is decided once, before anything is built, and narrows the artifacts in almost every capability downstream: most sharply in caching and anything else holding state in process.SAP and community, narrow by design takes on BTP.
Setting Up Alerts for SAP Cloud Integration Using SAP Alert Notification ServicepublishedWalks through wiring SAP Alert Notification service for SAP BTPSAP Alert Notification service for SAP BTPA BTP service with one API for publishing alerts and subscribing to them: built-in events about BTP resources and an application's own, delivered to a communication channel or monitoring tool.sap official, btp to a Cloud Integration tenant: creating the service instance and its OAuth2 service key, adding an email action and a subscription on the CPIIntegrationFlowExecutionFailure event, then deploying SAP's standard alert-notification iflow, which polls the Message Processing Logs API for failures. The author tests the setup by deploying a deliberately failing iflow and confirming the alert email arrives.

ui5_version_diff tool added to mcp-sap-docsmcp-sap-docsAn MCP server over seventeen cloned SAP documentation repositories — ABAP keyword docs, capire, OpenUI5, Cloud SDK, BTP — searched with BM25 and prebuilt embeddings fused by reciprocal rank fusion.independent, cap, 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@ui5/mcp-serverSAP's MCP server for UI5 development: ten tools that scaffold an app or a card, read the project in front of the agent, and run the linter and the manifest validator against it.sap official, ui5, 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-1From SEGW and Legacy UI5 to RAP with ARC-1Three ARC-1 skills, run in Cursor with Composer-2 against a deliberately rough demo on an S/4HANA 2023 trial system, turn the SEGW service ZDEMO_MIG_PROJECTS_SRV into a managed, draft-enabled RAP business object published as OData V4, replace its ApproveProject function import and its direct UPDATE ... COMMIT WORK with the action approve_project written in EML in local mode, and rebuild the freestyle UI5 JavaScript app once in UI5 TypeScript and once as a Fiori elements list report and object page driven by metadata extensions. What the published transcripts add is how the agent got there: it found the generated MPC class names and the custom logic in DPC_EXT only by reading the system, the skills made it print the extracted model and stop for confirmation before writing, and @ui5/mcp-server, mcp-sap-docs and @sap-ux/fiori-mcp-server each had their own job beside it. The demo is small on purpose, and the post says a productive SEGW service that calls BAPIs, carries custom authorisation logic or supports deep inserts is not solved with one prompt.published 2026-05-11, from SAPUI5 1.84.59 to 1.147.2, the diff range held 985 deprecations and 961 What's New entries, and the lintingLintingCatching in the editor what would otherwise be caught at deploy time, or not at all — problems in source code and models and in the project's configuration, found by rules rather than by review.SAP and community, narrow by design 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.Finally: An MCP Server for ABAPpublishedAnnounces the ABAP variant of mcp-sap-docsmcp-sap-docsAn MCP server over seventeen cloned SAP documentation repositories — ABAP keyword docs, capire, OpenUI5, Cloud SDK, BTP — searched with BM25 and prebuilt embeddings fused by reciprocal rank fusion.independent, cap, published at mcp-abap.marianzeis.de for GitHub CopilotGitHub CopilotAn AI coding assistant built into GitHub, with agents that can use external tools and MCP servers.'s Agent Mode in ADT for Eclipse, which the post names as the trigger, with ABAP knowledge still a recurring problem in the models.

From Concept to action: Hands-On with the CAP Operator and the Partner Reference ApplicationpublishedThe CAP Operator applied to a real application rather than a sample of its own — SAP's Partner Reference Application, taken from plugin integration through containerisation to custom resources. The transition to CRDs is the part that repays attention: it is where the deployment stops being an mta and becomes Kubernetes.

Build an AI-assisted known error database with SAP Integration SuitepublishedThe AI adapter in SAP Integration SuiteSAP Integration SuiteSAP's integration service on BTP: Cloud Integration for orchestration, API Management in front of it, and an MCP gateway that serves a managed API to agents.sap official, btp builds a known error database for integration support: runtime exceptions are captured, analysed by a model, matched against past incidents, and a resolution is proposed, so the base grows with each case. SAP's abstract names the adapter and the four steps, and claims shorter troubleshooting time without a figure.

API Managed IntegrationpublishedSAP's reference architecture for API-managed integration, which puts the API Management capability of SAP Integration SuiteSAP Integration SuiteSAP's integration service on BTP: Cloud Integration for orchestration, API Management in front of it, and an MCP gateway that serves a managed API to agents.sap official, btp in front of business applications as API proxies that intercept each call to apply security policies, transformations and governance and to collect usage metrics. SAP defines it as a pattern that complements the other integration patterns, and draws three routes behind the proxy: a managed API forwarded to its provider for simple transformations and protocol adaptations, the Graph capability exposing data from several sources as one connected API, and Cloud Integration for mediation beyond API Management's scope, with the edge integration cell runtime for managing APIs in a customer-managed Kubernetes environment. SAP states that it delivers no predefined scenarios for this pattern, so the proxies and policies are the customer's or partner's to build.
