Build Your AI Agent prototype for free using SAP CAP, LangChain and Ollama cloud
A CAP Node.js service action calls an Ollama-hosted model through LangChain's ChatOllama, with the API key read from a .env file instead of any destination or credential binding — the hand-rolled-key route SAP's own SDK call exists to avoid. The same handler then builds a LangChain agent with createAgent and one mock tool, so a question about restaurants triggers a tool call and any other question does not, independent of the @cap-js/agents@cap-js/agentsSAP's own CDS plugin for building agents inside a CAP service, wired to audit logging and telemetry through peer dependencies rather than leaving observability to the author.sap official, cap plugin's A2A-served harness.

Building Code-Based AI Agents on the BAIPBuilding Code-Based AI Agents on the BAIPA Devtoberfest 2026 session on writing the agent yourself rather than configuring one, which is the agent tooling edge: an agent is a model with tools, skills, memory and context around it, and the session reads the code of one built in CAP as a LangGraph state graph, with an agent node that calls the model, a tools node holding the MCP clients, and the edge between them looping until no tool is needed. It then shows the shorter route, a CDS service annotated for the agent protocol with its instructions and skills in an agent.md file. SAP AI Core carries both, with the CAP service in front of it as middleware so the credentials never reach the browser, and that is what cap-agent-ui5-webui is demonstrated against: added as a dependency, it gives the annotated service a UI5 chat interface that can be deployed rather than only previewed. A Python multi-agent application on Cloud Foundry, where an orchestrator delegates to per-stack specialists so no single model sees every tool, closes the session.published 2026-10-09
How to implement business AI capabilities in ABAP CloudHow to implement business AI capabilities in ABAP CloudA Devtoberfest 2026 session (ABA-32) on embedding AI in an ABAP Cloud application and on making SAP Joule aware of what that application can do. The first demo implements two features of a RAP travel app with the ABAP AI SDK: a determination on an uploaded receipt that sends the image together with the allowed categories and transaction types to a model reached through an intelligent scenario, then writes the extracted description, category, currency and amount back to the expense entity; and a recommendation function, triggered by a side effect on the trip title, that proposes a trip type with a score the Fiori UI sorts the proposals by and leaves the business user to accept — which is LLM integration from ABAP code. The second demo builds a capability for SAP Joule in the Joule Studio code editor in VS Code, with a scenario that extracts a trip title from the user's intent and calls an OData service in the ABAP backend through a BTP destination, deploys it and asks the Joule test UI for the trip's details; the session states that agents reach ABAP only over governed remote APIs — OData, SQL and MCP — and that automatic grounding of custom OData services in the knowledge graph is upcoming rather than available.published 2026-10-05
CAP in the age of AI #5 - agents wrap-upCAP in the age of AI #5 - agents wrap-upThe agents topic closed out on what sits around the agent rather than inside it, now that the documentation has moved into capire. The chat preview's session is persisted in the database rather than kept in memory, traces go out through @cap-js/telemetry to a self-hosted MLflow under the OpenTelemetry conventions for generative AI, and the panel is explicit that @agent reuses the MCP adapter's code programmatically without serving an MCP endpoint. It ends in the xtravels sample, where a travel agent delegates to a hotel-service sub-agent and reaches a separately started flight service over MCP through the service binding CAP resolves anyway. Earlier in the hour the same agent answers from a model running on the presenter's laptop, reached as an OpenAI-compatible endpoint.published 2026-10-02
What's in Daniel Hutzel's brain?What's in Daniel Hutzel's brain?A Devtoberfest 2026 session in the building-apps track, in which Daniel Hutzel and DJ Adams work through what the CAP team is building for agents. A bookshop gets an MCP endpoint beside its OData one from a single annotation, with the plugin writing the coding agent's configuration itself; in the xt-travels sample five services that know nothing about each other are served over MCP and an agent does the orchestration the hand-built UI and its value helps used to do. Hutzel then annotates a service as an agent so the ReAct loop and the choice of model move into the CAP service, and finally drops MCP for a skill that teaches the agent CQL instead, which is where the edges to Serve your application over MCP, Agent tooling and Agent guidance come from. The mechanism under all of it, a plugin file in the package root and event handlers that can be added to any CAP service, is the edge to Plugin authoring.published 2026-10-02
🟣 Enable Your AI application to Run on Multiple Models to Ensure Resilience and Compliance🟣 Enable Your AI application to Run on Multiple Models to Ensure Resilience and ComplianceDevtoberfest 2026 session AI-21. A cross product owner on the SAP AI Core team gives the reasons an AI application ends up on more than one model — a model down at the hyperscaler, a data centre that is not allowed to run it, a version being deprecated — and runs a joke app that answers from Gemini 2.5 Flash in EU10 and from Claude 4.5 Haiku in Asia-Pacific. The walk through AI Core's parts is where the edges hold: prompts kept as templates in the prompt registry, imported through the launchpad and the APIs or synced as YAML from a git repository (Prompt management); the evaluation service scoring one prompt across up to four models per run on built-in or model-as-judge metrics, and the prompt optimizer generating variants against one metric (Agent evals); and the orchestration service harmonising the providers behind one message format with a priority-sorted fallback list (LLM integration). The session also states where a metric has to be designed rather than picked: an exact-JSON match scores an email generator at zero, so the joke app's custom metric judges topic and family-appropriateness instead.SAP Developers, published 2026-10-01
Real Pro-Code Development with Joule StudioReal Pro-Code Development with Joule StudioA Devtoberfest 2026 AI-track session that runs one agent build across both of Joule Studio's paths. Playing a procurement manager, one presenter states the intent in the browser, answers the clarifying questions, watches the fit-gap analysis name the S/4HANA APIs the use case needs, and pushes the intent and requirements document to GitHub; the other clones it and carries on in a terminal, logging in with the jl command line against her landscape URL and running its init command to fetch Joule Studio's skills for OpenCode. From there the coding agent writes the specification, the discovered API specifications, the MCP translation and the agent's Python file with its model configuration and evaluation scenarios, which is the edge to Agent tooling; the skills themselves, which SAP says not to edit but which a developer may add to, are the edge to Agent guidance.SAP Developers, published 2026-10-01
What an AI infra engineer sees when opening SAP's AI stack (1/3): the model gatewayWhat an AI infra engineer sees when opening SAP's AI stack (1/3): the model gatewayA first look at SAP AI Core's Generative AI Hub from someone who builds gateways outside SAP for a living: the orchestration service harmonizes provider calls onto one API (a model name string switches providers, and SAP Note 3437766 carries the current model list, token rates and deprecation dates), runs a fixed, non-reorderable module pipeline — templating, masking through SAP Data Privacy Integration, grounding, content filtering, then the model call — and retries down an ordered fallback list whose entries can each carry their own model and rules. It places @sap-ai-sdk/orchestration among the official JavaScript, Java and Python SDKs, and notes SAP's own LiteLLM provider as a way to put a different gateway in front of it.amishkush, published 2026-09-30
CAP: The Road Ahead - Simplicity in an AI EraCAP: The Road Ahead - Simplicity in an AI EraDevtoberfest 2026 session CAP10, from the head of SAP's Cloud Application Programming Model: forty minutes of live building rather than slides, on the argument that the cheapest code in an AI project is code nobody has to generate. Claude Code builds an invoice-matching workspace from cds init onwards, and each step is one the framework answers rather than the agent: a 42-line domain model that @sap/cds serves as OData and Fiori elements with a status flow, data privacy and change-tracking annotations that produce audit log entries in the console and would reach the SAP Audit Log service once deployed, an imported S/4HANA supplier data product, and semantic matching from a local embedding model after @cap-js/ai is added. The last three steps are annotations: @mcp beside @odata turns the service into an MCP server that a second Claude session queries through @cap-js/mcp, an agent annotation adds the A2A protocol with an agent card and an audit log entry for the agent task, and a skill file gives the agent the matching policy.SAP Developers, published 2026-09-25
🟣 Bring AI into Your ABAP Applications with ISLM: Build, Integrate, and Consume AI Natively🟣 Bring AI into Your ABAP Applications with ISLM: Build, Integrate, and Consume AI NativelyDevtoberfest 2026 session AI-11, from the product manager and product owner of Intelligent Scenario Lifecycle Management: ISLM as the place an AI use case is registered, deployed and operated inside an SAP S/4HANA system, and what has been added to it for generative AI. The demo builds a custom scenario end to end — an intelligent scenario of type generative AI, a connection to SAP AI Core, a GPT-5 mini model, an orchestration flow template that configures data masking, input and output filtering and translation into the user's logged-in language, then prompts with a grounding query over five companies' return-policy documents — and consumes it from an ABAP report through the ABAP AI SDK, which calls the orchestration API and returns the summary as JSON. Two newer pieces follow: SAP RPT, the relational pre-trained transformer for tabular prediction, called with context rows and query rows and answering with a confidence value and no training step; and system-triggered agents, where an application job in the ABAP system starts a billing-creation agent that reaches S/4HANA OData APIs as tools through the agent gateway with principal propagation. The closing availability matrix states the generative AI capabilities for on-premise and private cloud from the 2021 release, with SAP notes to implement on lower ones.SAP Developers, published 2026-09-24
Meet Joule Studio and Build your First AI AgentMeet Joule Studio and Build your First AI AgentA Devtoberfest 2026 session from the product manager of Joule Studio, walking one agent through the whole path the tool defines: an intent, the problem statement and goals a coding agent derives from it, the business context it takes from the SAP knowledge graph, and the solution type it proposes with a stated intent fit. The demo is a collections agent that drafts dunning emails: the product requirements document names the metrics and the human-in-the-loop review, the technical specification lists the artifacts to build — the MCP tools among them — and the build is followed by a business test run against business partner 10001, technical unit tests, and deployment to the managed runtime, where the agent and its MCP server appear as deployed assets. Two points shape how it is used rather than what it produces: every asset is a file, editable in the web editor or in the code view and pushable to git, and the same solution can be built from local pro-code tools; n8n workflows are stated as delivered out of the box inside the studio.SAP Developers, published 2026-09-24

The @cap-js/mcp plugin for Node.js and com.sap.cds:cds-adapter-mcp for Java reach general availability, serving describe, query and call tools over existing CAP authentication and authorisation.

Combining AI Agents with the power of SAP HANA embedded ML (part 1)Combining AI Agents with the power of SAP HANA embedded ML (part 1)Devtoberfest 2026 session DAT-12, the first of two parts, in which Vitaliy Rudnytskiy does a data scientist's work against the embedded machine learning of SAP HANA Cloud by talking to an agent. The session first takes an agent apart into its LLM, its tools, its memory and the loop between them, then stacks the Predictive Analysis Library under the hana-ml Python wrapper and that under the HANA AI toolkit, whose tools an agent calls from plain English in a notebook to preview a sales refunds table, split it into train and predict tables, run a time-series check and train an AutoML forecast, keeping what it decided in Markdown memory files. That is the agent tooling edge; the same toolkit is then started as an MCP server over stdio and over streamable HTTP and reached from a coding agent and from Joule Work's desktop, which is where the live demo partly fails and the failure is shown.published 2026-09-22
Governance at Scale: Why a Clean Core Is What Makes Agent Governance EnforceableGovernance at Scale: Why a Clean Core Is What Makes Agent Governance EnforceableClosing a six-part clean-core series, the post argues that SAP's two agentic-AI governance mechanisms only work against a documented tool surface: MCP Gateway in SAP Integration Suite auto-translates API specifications into MCP tool schemas augmented with natural-language semantics, carrying forward existing authentication, authorization and rate limiting into the agentic layer, while AI Agent Hub, built on SAP LeanIX, discovers and runs verification assessments on agents, LLMs and MCP servers before the resulting badge is read by Joule Studio or SAP Integration Suite to decide what is trusted. Its argument holds the mechanisms up against an undocumented internal interface, where the auto-generated schema and the verification badge have nothing real underneath them, and against a consolidated CAP service exposing only released APIs, where both do.DEEPA_DORAIRAJ, published 2026-09-21
September 15th: What's New on developers.sap.comSeptember 15th: What's New on developers.sap.comThomas Jung walks through a week of changes aimed at agentic consumption of developers.sap.com itself: the hosted MCP server gains a published .well-known/mcp.json manifest, curated tools (search_tutorials, get_tutorial_step with a Markdown format option, search_channels), and a listing in the ORD catalog beside its OData, REST and GraphQL APIs. It also documents the site's existing A2A endpoint for the first time and ships a way to turn a tutorial into an installable, cryptographically signed AI Skill with a generated verification script, both concrete instances of agent tooling; separately, five broken GraphQL example queries were fixed and the full SDL is now served, and new sitemap.md, llms.txt fixes and ORD entries round out the site's own metadata publishing.published 2026-09-15
CAP in the age of AI #4 - more on agentsCAP in the age of AI #4 - more on agentsAsking a human first, and telling the agent how to behave. Ordering a book through @cap-js/agents happens without a question being asked; the human-in-the-loop annotation on the action turns the same request into an approve-or-reject step, which the episode follows down to the A2A status update that stores the task in an input-required state in the database — A2A itself being JSON-RPC 2.0 over HTTP with server-sent events for the stream. The rest is instructions on disk: an agents.md in the service's own folder removes the question about how many copies to order, a skill under a skills folder is advertised by its description and read only when the agent decides the case applies, and either file makes the plugin build a deep agent instead of the plain one.published 2026-09-11

The post walks through what shipping the CAP plugin and the be.wl.ai control library in one npm version buys — a client and server contract that cannot drift — then lists the eleven controls by group, shows the two-line configuration that activates each half, and notes that this version is actually deployed on BTP behind both a standalone approuter and Work Zone. It closes on the demo repository, written with no library source in it as the test that the package stands alone.published 2026-08-31

SAP's API Policy on AI Agents: What It Prohibits, Allows, and Leaves OpenSAP's API Policy on AI Agents: What It Prohibits, Allows, and Leaves OpenReading SAP's API Policy v.4.2026a and its FAQ against the reference architectures, the piece narrows the widely repeated claim that SAP bans AI to what Section 2.2.2 actually restricts: an agent planning and chaining API calls outside an SAP-endorsed route, closed off further by Section 3's block on bypassing API Controls through custom code. It compares the endorsed and allowed paths — the MCP Gateway on SAP Integration Suite reaching S/4HANA and ECC through RFC-based back ends under a 15-tool, 200,000-token limit, SAP-provided MCP servers through Joule Studio, the A2A protocol, customer-operated MCP servers allowed under FAQ Question 56, and the ADT MCP Server, whose 18 tools work only on development artifacts and are documented as not intended for productive use. It leaves open whether Section 2.2.2 covers ABAP code that calls a model from inside the system, since enforcement is defined at the API-traffic level rather than by a list of tools.published 2026-08-31

CAP in the age of AI #3 - from MCP to A2ACAP in the age of AI #3 - from MCP to A2AThe episode that finishes @cap-js/mcp with authorisation and then crosses to agents. @requires and @restrict are the same annotations CAP already has, and the plugin reads them to filter the tool list and the describe output per user and per request, so a model is not told about entities the caller cannot reach — where the OData metadata of the same service lists every exposed entity regardless. The second half annotates a service with @agent from @cap-js/agents, which serves it over A2A with an agent card and a chat preview, runs first against a mocked response and then against SAP AI Core bound with cds bind and a hybrid profile, and reuses the MCP adapter's tools rather than defining new ones.published 2026-08-21
Building a Pro-Code Agent on SAP BTP — Part 2: The Agent (LangGraph + GenAI Hub)Building a Pro-Code Agent on SAP BTP — Part 2: The Agent (LangGraph + GenAI Hub)Part 2 of a three-part series builds a separate, non-CAP Node/TypeScript agent that calls the Part 1 CAP service's MCP tools and reasons through SAP AI Core via @sap-ai-sdk/orchestration, using LangGraph's createAgent ReAct loop for provider-agnostic model calls across GPT, Claude and Gemini deployments. It explains why the tool's Zod schema and model-facing description are the agent's actual contract, the gotcha between a foundation-models deployment and an orchestration-scenario one, and how edge-case testing replaced date inference with a server-computed daysOverdue field after the agent wrongly called a delayed order 'on schedule'.rodfior, published 2026-08-20

It covers CAP's default JWT/XSUAA authentication in production, what a test deployment needs to get past it, and the cf push, mbt build and environment wiring that run both apps as separate Cloud Foundry containers.

Building Durable AI Agents - Announcing the cds-langgraph-persistence PluginBuilding Durable AI Agents - Announcing the cds-langgraph-persistence PluginThe announcement, and the argument behind it. Treating an agent as a software architecture rather than a model with tools makes a list of production requirements — identity, authn and authz, multitenancy, persistence, event-driven flows, scalability, observability, CI/CD — and the author's point is that CAP already answers most of them for BTP, which is what makes LangGraph inside CAP Node.js worth doing. The post then narrows to one of those requirements, durability, and the checkpointer that supplies it. Written from a year of building agents next to real business systems rather than as a framework tour.merbinjanselm, published 2026-07-15

Autonomous Diagnostics on Kyma Unplugged: Goose + LiteLLM + KRO + SAP AI Core in ProductionAutonomous Diagnostics on Kyma Unplugged: Goose + LiteLLM + KRO + SAP AI Core in ProductionAn in-cluster autonomous diagnostic pipeline on Kyma Unplugged (open-source Kyma, noted to also run on SAP BTP, Kyma runtime): a Goose agent with kubectl access calls SAP AI Core through a LiteLLM proxy, and most of the post is about the quirks of that route — drop_params silently swallowing unrecognised parameters and beta headers, streaming that has to be off when tools are attached, and prompt caching that sits on the Orchestration V2 API rather than the foundation-model path the LiteLLM provider hits. A second Node.js proxy reaches that API, and the author reports caching unconfirmed at production scale, which leaves the roughly $0.004 per static run a target rather than a measured figure.

Most of the effort goes into a system prompt that constrains the model to return one fixed JSON schema of filter fields, which ABAP deserialises with /UI2/CL_JSON and exposes through a RAP custom action so a Fiori search field can drive an OData V4 filter.PranayGaroo, published 2026-06-04

AI-native North Star architecture — Platform LayerAI-native North Star architecture — Platform LayerThe platform layer of SAP's North Star architecture, the chapter that says where agents run and what a developer builds them with. It names an AI Golden Path built on the SAP Cloud Application Programming Model, the ABAP Cloud development model with RAP and the SAP Fiori design system, and a managed agent runtime on SAP BTP that is designed to provide software development kits for building agents in any framework, an agent sandbox, container-hosted execution, a skills registry and continuous evaluations, which is the ground agent tooling covers. Agents are extended without changing their code through four patterns, the first of them tool extensibility through the Model Context Protocol, the concern MCP servers is named for; the process-layer chapter adds that a pro-code path with a standardised agent SDK and a prompt-driven path through the Joule Studio solution produce the same code artifact on the same runtime.

Agentic AI on BTP: a Single Agent with LangGraphAgentic AI on BTP: a Single Agent with LangGraphA CAP TypeScript agent puts a LangGraph StateGraph in front of AzureOpenAiChatClient from @sap-ai-sdk/langchain, reaching SAP AI Core's Generative AI Hub, and lets its tool-calling loop draw on five deployed MCP servers — OData MCP Proxy, CI MCP Server, AI Core MCP Server, BTP MCP Server and BTP CF MCP Server — through @langchain/mcp-adapters' MultiServerMCPClient. Because agent, servers and APIs share one XSUAA tenant, the chat service forwards the signed-in user's own JWT instead of a service account, so each downstream server enforces that user's own authorizations. Past roughly a hundred combined tools the single prompt slows down and stops separating concerns, which is why the author's next post splits it into one specialist agent per MCP server behind an orchestrator.published 2026-05-03

What Happens to Your Data When You Enable SAP's AI Features?What Happens to Your Data When You Enable SAP's AI Features?Traces where a prompt goes when Joule, the Generative AI Hub or the orchestration service calls a third-party model through SAP AI Core: the prompt and the business context around it travel to a model such as GPT-4o, Claude or Gemini for inference, and masking through SAP Data Privacy Integration is an optional orchestration module rather than a default, so with no masking block in the @sap-ai-sdk/orchestration client config nothing is masked. 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.jaripie, published 2026-04-23
Custom Joule Agent for SAP Ariba SLP - Building an AI Agent for Supplier Registration ApprovalCustom Joule Agent for SAP Ariba SLP - Building an AI Agent for Supplier Registration ApprovalBuilds 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. The author contrasts this with an earlier hand-wired flow on SAP Build Process Automation, where every connection, variable and error path had to be designed and wired manually.Giancarlo-Martinez, published 2026-04-07
SAP Agentic AI in Practice: Building the SAP Exception Log Triage Agent (Part 3 of 6)SAP Agentic AI in Practice: Building the SAP Exception Log Triage Agent (Part 3 of 6)Part 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.DEEPA_DORAIRAJ, published 2026-04-06

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

Improving Exception Handling using Generative AI in SAP Cloud Integration (SAP CI/CPI)Improving Exception Handling using Generative AI in SAP Cloud Integration (SAP CI/CPI)Wires an Exception Subprocess in Cloud Integration to send a failed iFlow's caught exception text to Google Gemini's generateContent endpoint over the HTTP adapter, then parses the response in Groovy for a user-friendly error message, the likely causes, the steps to try and an HTTP status code to return to the sender. 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 flows and on LLM integration.AdarshRao, published 2025-07-20

ABAP AI SDK powered by ISLM - How to implement your own AI use cases in ABAPABAP AI SDK powered by ISLM - How to implement your own AI use cases in ABAPA Devtoberfest 2026 ABAP-track session (ABA-44) on the ABAP AI SDK: an intelligent scenario development object holds the model and its version, so the ABAP code asks for an API, sends a prompt and reads the completion with its token counts and finish reason, and swapping the model is a change to that object rather than to the code. Four demos go through the ABAP line by line — a bare completion, a system prompt with the temperature set to 0.2, tool calls where the model asks for order details and the result goes back into the message container, and a JSON response schema that returns category, severity and goodwill as fields a program can act on — and a fifth replaces the API with the SDK's own mocks so unit tests run with no network call, which is what the LLM integration edge on the ABAP door rests on. The closing availability matrix separates base scenarios, available across SAP S/4HANA on-premise, private edition, public cloud and the SAP BTP ABAP environment, from the orchestration service and SAP RPT, shown for on-premise and private cloud with transport-based correction instructions back to release 2022 and not yet for the public cloud editions.SAP Developers
