[Part – 2] Enrich CAP based Services with Behaviors using AnnotationspublishedThe second half of a two-part walkthrough of CAP's behavioral annotations, following on from access control and input validation in the first part. This post works through @cds.autoexpose, @cds.api.ignore, @cds.persistence.exists/skip, @cds.on.insert/@cds.on.update and the @odata.Type/@odata.singleton mapping overrides, all shaping how a CDS model is projected into a service, which is data modellingData modellingDefining the shape of data before anything serves it: entities and their types, how they relate, and the projections and views that services and applications consume.SAP and community, unassessed.

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.Database connectors
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.Database connectors
CAP-level Data FederationpublishedA Devtoberfest 2026 session (CAP-31) on letting one CAP application read another's data as if it were local. The modelling half is the same for both answers, which is why the two technical edges hold: the provider defines an API service and exports it with CDS export as an npm package carrying the model, mock data and translated texts, the consumer imports it and puts consumption views on top, and only then is it wired either as service-level replication that copies the rows into local tables each time the server starts, or over the SAP HANA synonyms that cds-federation-synonymscds-federation-synonymsAn experimental CAP plugin for CAP-to-CAP data federation over SAP HANA synonyms, so one project reads another's tables without the rows being copied.sap official, cap generates, with HDI grants on the provider side and a service replacement that redirects each synonym from its mock table to the provider's container. It is worked through on xflightsxflightsA reuse package serving master-data entities (Airlines, Airports and Flights) as a service that other CAP applications compose into their own data model.sap official, cap and xtravelsxtravelsA travel-booking application built on the master data that xflights publishes, composing another package's schema into its own rather than owning master data itself.sap official, cap, including the local run where CDS watch mocks the imported service from the CSV files inside the package.Data federation

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.Database connectors

DRY CAP – Making Sustainable Solutions Through PluginspublishedA Devtoberfest 2026 building-apps session on packaging the things you would otherwise write twice, from in-house API clients and shared data models to validation logic, as a CAP plugin. The presenter builds one live: a cds-plugin.js next to package.json is what makes CAP notice the plugin at all, an index.cds carries a reusable user context and service that the consuming application projects into its own and protects there, and the plugin registers an Express middleware at a chosen step of the bootstrap to put user properties on the request. A feature-flagging plugin his team already uses closes it, and the whole walkthrough is the edge to Plugin authoringPlugin authoringWriting a package that extends a framework or runtime rather than an application that uses it — a reusable extension loaded by its host, and the question you arrive at once solving a problem twice makes you want to solve it once for everyone.SAP only.Plugin authoring
SAP BDC in Business AI Platform: Contextualize and ReasonpublishedA Devtoberfest 2026 session (DAT-31) that places 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 as the contextualise-and-reason pillar of the SAP Business AI Platform, between the build pillar of Joule Studio and Integration Suite and the govern pillar of AI Agent Hub. It covers data products described with open resource discovery and core schema notation metadata, a data product creation agent that assembles a derived data product for overdue billing documents from the billing document and customer products and shows its lineage and fields; the data products a line-of-business application brings being readable by Joule without a BDC subscription; and the SAP-managed knowledge graph that maps business entities and their relationships for agents, held as graph 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.

SAP HANA Data Lake Files (HDLF) Basic FunctionalitiespublishedA Devtoberfest 2026 data-track session on SAP HANA data lake files, the managed object store 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 that is provisioned from HANA Cloud Central, priced per API call and per stored gigabyte, and reached with the same REST API whichever hyperscaler it runs on. Two product managers set up an instance with its IP allow list, client certificates and trusts, then upload, list, read and delete files over the WebHDFS REST API and the HDLFS command-line utility — the Object storageObject storageStoring application files as objects in a bucket or container backed by a cloud storage service.

@cap-js-community/commonprovides[capability:local-development] revisedcapability:local-development curation on 2026-10-15. The edge rested on a link with no quoted sentence, and the README states both halves a reader needs: the apps in the app folder with a ui5.yaml come from the file system and everything else is proxied to the remote repository, with the configuration file in the approuter folder as the prerequisite.Caching
@dxfrontier/cds-ts-dispatcherprovides[typescript-patterns] revisedThe edge said only that the package answers the capability. It now says what it contributes — decorators binding handlers, the three layers its documentation recommends, injection between them and the draft decorators — and states the four comparison facets the capability declares, each on the README sentence it rests on.TypeScript patterns
@dxfrontier/cds-ts-repositoryprovides[typescript-patterns] revisedThe edge carried no sentence. It now says which half of the arrangement the package answers, names the two ways its own documentation shows it being used, and states the persistence value of the capability's layers facet. draft_events is left unstated on purpose: BaseRepositoryDraft reads and writes the draft entity, which is not a place to handle the draft events, and stating the flag here would make the two look like the same fact.TypeScript patterns
@neoimpulse/cap-js-bootstrapprovides[capability:local-development] revisedcapability:local-development curation on 2026-10-15. The edge was a bare reference: the one capability this package answers carried no sentence and no source, which rule 10 does not allow. The package's own npm text names what it starts, cds watch per service and the router through cds bind --exec, and is quoted in its own language. Read through registry.npmjs.org because npmjs.com refuses the fetcher.Local development

@sang2x/captoolsprovides[capability:local-development] revisedcapability:local-development curation on 2026-10-15. Its own command description states that it writes the resolved VCAP_SERVICES into default-env.json, which is the documented difference against cds bind, where only the place the credentials can be fetched from is stored on the machine. Stated as a fact about the file, with the consequence for a project named in when_not_to_use rather than as a judgement on the tool.Local development
@sap/cds-dkprovides[capability:local-development] revisedcapability:local-development curation on 2026-10-15. The edge named the hybrid profile without naming cds bind, and the capability's new comparison columns need the sourced answers here: the parts of the local stack this starts, that it binds cloud services, and that only the location of the credentials is stored on the machine, which is the difference against a helper that writes them into a file.Generators
cap-handler-frameworkprovides[typescript-patterns] revisedThe edge carried no sentence while the artifact's own description carried the detail. It now says what the package contributes to this capability — method names as the binding, the generated index the service reads, the separate draft hooks and the shared context — and states handler_binding, dependency_injection and draft_events on the README sentences they rest on. The layers facet is left unstated: the feature list read today names no layer above the handlers.TypeScript patterns
cds-plugin-handlersprovides[typescript-patterns] revisedThe edge carried no sentence. It now says how the plugin decides where a handler goes, which is by folder and file name rather than by a decorator, and states the handler_binding and layers values of the capability's comparison, each on the README sentence it rests on. dependency_injection and draft_events are left unstated: the README mentions neither.TypeScript patterns
cds-plugin-typescriptprovides[typescript-patterns] revisedThe edge carried no sentence. It now says what the plugin does at build time and that it says nothing about the arrangement of the code it compiles. Whether the edge belongs on typescript-patterns is an open editorial question recorded with the capability's review: capire now ships a cds build task for TypeScript in @cap-js/cds-typer, which puts this plugin beside the core's toolchain answer rather than beside the arrangement options. No facet values are stated, because the capability's four facets ask about the arrangement and the README answers none of them.TypeScript patterns
cds-routing-handlersprovides[typescript-patterns] revisedThe edge carried no sentence. It now says what the package binds and where it stops, and states the handler_binding and layers values of the capability's comparison on the README sentences they rest on. No lifecycle field was added: the README read today carries no statement by its maintainer about the package's end, and the predecessor sentence in the one-liner is another author's reading, already attributed as such.TypeScript patterns
cds2typeslifecycle, provides[typescript-patterns] revisedThe edge carried no sentence. It now says what the tool produces and that it says nothing about the arrangement of the code around it. Whether this edge belongs on typescript-patterns at all is an open editorial question recorded with the capability's review: generating types from a model is the typing concern, and this pass does not move the edge.TypeScript patterns
com.sap.cds:cds-maven-pluginprovides[capability:local-development] revisedcapability:local-development curation on 2026-10-15. The edge said the goal rebuilds and restarts and left out that whether it restarts or reloads depends on Spring Boot Devtools, and that on Windows it does not work without them, which is the difference a reader on this flavor meets first.Generators
dev-approuterprovides[capability:local-development] revisedcapability:local-development curation on 2026-10-15. The capability now compares its options by the part of the local stack each one starts, and this package's own description states the part. Nothing was entered for the two flags: the registry page carries no README, so whether it resolves a cloud binding itself is not stated anywhere read here.Local development
Local developmentcore coverage, coverage by flavor, framing by flavor, facets revisedNine options answered this capability with nothing to compare them by, and they are not variants of one tool: the first question a reader has is which part of the local stack an option starts. The two flags separate the hybrid-testing helpers, where cds bind states that only the location of the credentials is stored on the machine and @sang2x/captools states that it writes the resolved VCAP_SERVICES into default-env.json.Local development

First Java Cap ApplicationpublishedA step-by-step walkthrough of a first CAP Java project: com.sap.cds:cds-services-archetypecom.sap.cds:cds-services-archetypeA Maven archetype that generates a new CAP Java project: a Spring Boot service with a starter CDS model, wired to the CDS Maven plugin for its build.sap official, cap scaffolds the initial Maven project, and the domain model is then rewritten in the db folder with entities, the cuid and managed aspects, associations, compositions and a CodeList, so a hand-coded event handler serving a single entity gives way to a service that CAP's generic persistence handling serves without custom code. It deploys that model to SQLiteSQLiteAn embedded SQL database engine used as a selectable local cache store by CAP caching plugins. for local development — cds deploy --to sqlite, then a Spring profile pointing at the generated database file — and ends by adding an index.cds so the model and service can be published as a reusable npm module.Data modelling

Working through that on the bookshop example leaves nothing to argue about except the plumbing, which is the point — what a cds-plugin is, where it hooks in, and why packaging it beats copying it into the next project. Vinícius Barrionuevo credits this post as the thing that gave him the idea for sap-cap-sdm-plugin, and it is hard to read the plugin ecosystem in this graph without it.published 2023-04-30, showing the same mechanism on CAP Java: a plugin ships as its own Maven artifact with an event handler and a
CdsRuntimeConfiguration implementation, registered through the JDK's ServiceLoader rather than any CAP-specific wiring. The walkthrough builds a cds-emoji-plugin-java jar that decorates @emoji-annotated fields on read, installs it to the local Maven repository, and adds it as a runtime dependency to a cds init --add java bookshop application.
