Intelligent App Development at Scale: SAP Fiori Elements + ABAP Development Tools for VS CodeIntelligent App Development at Scale: SAP Fiori Elements + ABAP Development Tools for VS CodeA Devtoberfest 2026 session (UI-33) that builds a RAP service and the SAP Fiori elements app over it from one VS Code workspace, with a coding agent driving two of SAP's MCP servers. The ABAP Development Tools for VS Code edges hold on the demo itself: its virtual file system keeps the ABAP package beside the Fiori project, the ADT MCP Server inside it creates, changes and activates the ABAP objects, and a version not yet released publishes the service binding from the agent instead of by hand. The @sap-ux/fiori-mcp-server edge covers its generators and the three-step workflow it uses for changes — list the functionality available for the application, ask for its JSON schema, then execute it — and the agent guidance edge rests on the skills the Fiori team publishes beside it, on the session's account of what a skill adds that a server does not, and on the analytical chart demo where a skill orchestrates both servers in one task.SAP Developers, published 2026-10-09
ABAP Development Tools for VS CodeABAP Development Tools for VS CodeA Devtoberfest 2026 session on ABAP Development Tools for VS Code: where the extension sits after the ABAP Workbench and ABAP Development Tools for Eclipse, the ADT language server both editors share, and what the releases since May 2026 cover. The demo installs the extension, creates a destination, opens, creates and activates objects, runs ATC and ABAP Unit, and names the object types, domains among them, for which a developer still goes to Eclipse or SAP GUI. It also opens the extension's settings to turn on the ADT MCP Server and shows the tools a chat can call, with the object search and source code search tools listed as planned.published 2026-09-28
News from Custom Code Migration: ECC to SAP S/4HANA Powered by Agentic AINews from Custom Code Migration: ECC to SAP S/4HANA Powered by Agentic AIA Devtoberfest 2026 session (ABA-23) on what SAP has added to the ECC to SAP S/4HANA custom code migration tools, demonstrated across a live ECC and an S/4HANA system. The first half stays deterministic and explains static analysis in that process: the custom code migration app's scoping over ABAP test cockpit findings, an explain of a legacy report and of an S/4HANA simplification finding, and transferable quick fixes exported from the app and applied on the ECC system through the SAP GUI ATC transaction before conversion. The second half runs the S/4HANA custom code migration agent in ABAP Development Tools for Eclipse: GitHub Copilot drives the ADT MCP Server's ATC and quick-fix tools in a loop, SAP Joule for Developers, ABAP AI capabilities produces the AI code proposals behind it, and only the high-confidence ones are written into the code, the rest left as comments in one transport request.published 2026-09-28
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
ABAP development tools for Visual Studio Code: Version 1.1 releasedABAP development tools for Visual Studio Code: Version 1.1 releasedVersion 1.1 of ABAP development tools for Visual Studio Code adds two tools to the extension's local ADT MCP Server: a unified, git-like diff for a transport request, and a runner for ABAP Test Cockpit checks, both meant for an agent to call rather than a person to click through. Both are new instances of what agent access to your code already covers for ABAP — reading and acting on a real system through ADT — reaching now into a transport's changes and a check run rather than only source and objects.thomasalexander_ritter, published 2026-07-21
The Future of ABAP is Here: VS Code ADT, Zero-Config MCP, and AI Co-pilotsThe Future of ABAP is Here: VS Code ADT, Zero-Config MCP, and AI Co-pilotsA walkthrough of ABAP Development Tools for VS Code's general-availability release: connecting to an on-premise or BTP ABAP system, editing classes, CDS and RAP objects, and turning on the extension's built-in ADT MCP Server. Enabled, it lets a co-pilot such as GitHub Copilot or SAP Joule for Developers, ABAP AI capabilities read code, trace dependencies, and run ABAP Unit and ATC checks against the real system rather than guessing from training data.lpodile, published 2026-06-01
Joule for Developers with SAP BTP ABAP Environment-Setup GuideJoule for Developers with SAP BTP ABAP Environment-Setup GuideA step-by-step setup guide for SAP Joule for Developers, ABAP AI capabilities under its Q2 2026 limited-promotion licence: creating a BTP subaccount, adding ABAP environment and HANA compute-unit entitlements, enabling Cloud Foundry, configuring trust to Cloud Identity Services, creating the ABAP environment instance and assigning the developer role, then pointing ABAP Development Tools for Eclipse at the new system. It walks through the resulting Joule chat, predictive code completion, explain, ABAP Unit and CDS test-generation features inside a newly created ABAP Cloud project.YASHLAL, published 2025-09-11
OData to outcomes—Build AI-enabled SAP Fiori apps using SAP Fiori elementsOData to outcomes—Build AI-enabled SAP Fiori apps using SAP Fiori elementsA Fiori elements app built through SAP's MCP servers: the OData V4 service comes from the MCP server for RAP, which the atlas holds as the ADT MCP Server, or from @cap-js/mcp-server for CAP, and the UI from @sap-ux/fiori-mcp-server, with annotations and actions added before the app is tied to SAP's AI features. Agent access to your code on both the service and the UI side; SAP's abstract names the servers and the steps and says nothing about which AI features or which agent host. A TechEd 2026 session (Thursday 29 October, Berlin), presented by Benedikt Schoelch, Sebastian Steinhauer, Sebastian Werner and Stefan Engelhardt, written here from SAP's abstract; the recording is not yet published.
Level up app development: ABAP Cloud model innovations and Joule solutionLevel up app development: ABAP Cloud model innovations and Joule solutionThe ABAP RESTful application programming model, in SAP's abstract, generates multi-node business objects and adds event-driven side effects, collaborative draft, background processing and analytical tables, with the SAP Joule for Developers, ABAP AI capabilities add-on used to speed development up. The generated business objects are the transactional model concern; the abstract names each feature and says nothing about how it is used. A TechEd 2026 session (Thursday 29 October, Berlin), presented by Anne Keller, Carine Tchoutouo Djomo, Frank Jentsch and Marina Blank, written here from SAP's abstract; the recording is not yet published.
Strategy for agent-led development in ABAPStrategy for agent-led development in ABAPSAP Joule for Developers, ABAP AI capabilities moving ABAP development in ADT from AI-assisted to agent-led, across greenfield work and the migration and modernisation of existing solutions: SAP's strategy session for its ABAP AI add-on. The abstract states the direction and names no feature or release date. A TechEd 2026 session (Tuesday 27 October, Berlin; also ST124V, virtual), presented by Alexander Rother and Sonja Lienard, written here from SAP's abstract; the recording is not yet published.
Agent-led custom code migration: From planning to mass adaptationAgent-led custom code migration: From planning to mass adaptationThe Custom Code Migration Agent in SAP Joule for Developers, ABAP AI capabilities, applied to moving custom code from SAP ERP Central Component to SAP Cloud ERP Private: the abstract describes a toolchain that starts with planning in SAP Cloud ALM and ends in mass remediation by the agent, with newer custom code management features shown alongside. Which findings the agent remediates, and how far it goes without a developer, the abstract does not say. A TechEd 2026 session (Tuesday 27 October, Berlin), presented by Marco Matha and Olga Dolinskaja, written here from SAP's abstract; the recording is not yet published.
Migrate and modernize your custom code using RISE with SAP and agentic AIMigrate and modernize your custom code using RISE with SAP and agentic AIThe Custom Code Migration Agent in SAP Joule for Developers, ABAP AI capabilities, shown on the RISE with SAP path that moves custom extensions from SAP ERP Central Component to SAP Cloud ERP Private: the abstract says the agent adapts the code through MCP tools and the AI for ABAP features in the custom code tools, and that the adapted code is then reworked along the clean core approach, the concern ABAP Cloud readiness covers. Which MCP tools, and what the clean core step changes in the code, the abstract leaves open. A TechEd 2026 session (Tuesday 27 October, Berlin), presented by Hitesh Bindal, Ingo Braeuninger, Jonas Helin of GitHub, Olga Dolinskaja and Thomas Fiedler, written here from SAP's abstract; the recording is not yet published.
SAP BAIP, ABAP environment: Monitoring and troubleshootingSAP BAIP, ABAP environment: Monitoring and troubleshootingMonitoring and troubleshooting a side-by-side application written in the ABAP Cloud model on SAP BTP ABAP environment, which SAP's title calls SAP BAIP, ABAP environment, and which the abstract files under a clean core strategy at level A: the environment's technical monitoring tools for the monitoring half, and ABAP Development Tools for Eclipse for the troubleshooting half, the debugging concern. The abstract names the environment and the Eclipse tools, leaves the monitoring tools unnamed, and does not say what is shown of either. A TechEd 2026 hands-on session (Thursday 29 October, Berlin), presented by Frank Jentsch, Robert Werlich, Steffen Siegmund and Wolfgang Woehrle, written here from SAP's abstract; the recording is not yet published.
