Reading Between the Lines: Under-Documented Fiori Elements Capabilities in SAPUI5 1.149Reading Between the Lines: Under-Documented Fiori Elements Capabilities in SAPUI5 1.149Reads SAPUI5 1.149's framework source, not its release notes, to show Fiori Elements shifting side-effect refresh, AI field placeholders and multi-user drafting from controller extensions into what the backing service annotates. Event-driven SideEffects push over a WebSocket channel through @cap-js-community/websocket, while Draft handling gains ABAP RAP's live field locking on CAP Node.js through Sören Leibach's own cap-collaborative-draft plugin. Both rest on Fiori annotations such as Common.SideEffects and CollaborativeDraft.enabled, which the frontend reads rather than requiring a manifest flag.published 2026-07-09
Real-Time Architecture in SAP CAP: Mastering Asynchronous Jobs, Gateways with WebSocketsReal-Time Architecture in SAP CAP: Mastering Asynchronous Jobs, Gateways with WebSocketsThe other half of the author's own industrial-data post: mass ingestion is only useful if the screen keeps up, so background jobs push progress to the UI over WebSockets instead of the user reloading. Written from a mission-critical case rather than a demo.rgadirov, published 2026-03-12

MCP Servers are the New Z-TablesMCP Servers are the New Z-TablesA single CAP service exposed as three overlapping MCP servers tools, queried by the same prompt nineteen times, returned the same tool every time — evidence, the author argues, that tool selection rests on the resemblance between a prompt and a tool's description rather than on any binding a where-used list could enumerate before retiring it. It contrasts that setup with @cap-js/mcp, which exposes a whole service as three generic tools instead of one per operation, and quotes the adapter's own beta documentation admitting no rate limiting, audit logging, input validation or approval workflow, and no use as a gateway to SAP Application APIs. From there it names four small Tool governance practices it has adopted: an owner recorded in the tool's own metadata, logging every invocation, deprecating inside the description, and exposing fewer tools.published 2026-08-21

API Composition: Seamless Enterprise Data Access for Developers and AI AgentsAPI Composition: Seamless Enterprise Data Access for Developers and AI AgentsAPI Composition (formerly Graph, a capability of API Management) curates business data graphs from existing SAP and non-SAP API providers, so a query can navigate and expand relationships across systems through one composed API rather than hand-written integration code. Palak walks through combining SAP S/4HANA warehouse-stock data with Everstream Analytics risk data into one API, then exposing that composed API as an MCP server so an AI agent calls it with the same semantic context — the scenario behind API Management's MCP servers coverage.published 2026-07-27
Graph on Integration Suite: Simplifying Multi-API Data Retrieval with Unified Business Data GraphGraph on Integration Suite: Simplifying Multi-API Data Retrieval with Unified Business Data GraphA hands-on walkthrough of Graph, the API Management feature of SAP Integration Suite also called Business Data Graphs, which exposes several OData APIs as one connected data model behind a single OData V4 or GraphQL endpoint. It covers enabling the capability and its Graph.KeyUser and GraphNavigator.Viewer role collections, creating BTP destinations and a service key for an S/4HANA system, then building a Business Data Graph over the Sales Order and Business Partner APIs so a mirrored SoldToParty association returns both in one call, in place of the two OData requests a Cloud Integration Content Enricher would otherwise merge.published 2026-01-09

Automate BTP Custom Domain certificates using Let's EncryptAutomate BTP Custom Domain certificates using Let's EncryptCertificate lifecycle management as an application: a CAP backend, a Fiori elements UI, the Custom Domain service, Cloud Foundry routes and the Job Scheduler, so requests, renewals and cleanup stop being manual. Part two of the author's BTP Toolbox.Ben, published 2026-03-19
From Concept to action: Hands-On with the CAP Operator and the Partner Reference ApplicationFrom Concept to action: Hands-On with the CAP Operator and the Partner Reference ApplicationThe 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.ChristianWeiss, published 2026-05-21
