Agentic Loop with Joule for Developers and ADT MCP ServerAgentic Loop with Joule for Developers and ADT MCP ServerA Devtoberfest 2026 session from SAP's ABAP AI team that generates a RAP issue-tracker application by prompting a coding agent. It covers what SAP Joule for Developers, ABAP AI capabilities now ships as MCP tools and which assistants can reach an ABAP system's virtual filesystem, then does the setup twice: turning on the ADT MCP Server and pasting the Joule side-by-side tenant link in ABAP Development Tools for VS Code, and again in ABAP Development Tools for Eclipse, where the custom agent becomes custom instructions. The demo's subject is the guardrails around the loop — an agent.md of phases and human checkpoints, skill files cloned from a GitHub repository for naming, ATC compliance and UI annotations — run through GitHub Copilot until the generated objects are activated, unit-tested and in a transport.SAP Developers, 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
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.
