ARC-1 with Joule Studio: Bringing Real ABAP System Context into JouleARC-1 with Joule Studio: Bringing Real ABAP System Context into JouleBrings the same BTP-deployed ARC-1 endpoint into Joule through a Joule Studio, classic edition agent configured with Anthropic Claude Sonnet 4 and two MCP servers, ARC-1 and mcp-sap-docs, for work that starts in SAP where the previous part started in Microsoft 365. Two read-only showcases carry the ABAP Cloud readiness edge: a clean core check of one class that reports it is not released, uses USR02 and BUT000 directly and has no ATC findings, and a modernisation backlog for package ZSD_LEGACY which, as that package did not exist, grouped 28 ZSD* objects into risk buckets instead. The route through SAP Integration Suite API Management or a future MCP gateway is presented as a target architecture and not yet a productive setup, because Joule Studio's documentation requires streamable HTTP destinations and does not support MCP servers that need interactive OAuth user authorisation.published 2026-05-06

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.
The journey with clean core continues for SAP Cloud ERP PrivateThe journey with clean core continues for SAP Cloud ERP PrivateClean core in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition as it stands in 2026: what is new in extensibility, new capabilities in the dashboard for the RISE with SAP Methodology, how AI helps make custom code compliant with clean core, and new guidance on data, integration and clean core in relation to SAP's API policy. The edges are to Extensibility, the concern the session is about, and to ABAP Cloud readiness, the concern behind making custom code compliant; the abstract names no tool for either and the dashboard is not held here.

Transitioning Architectures from SAP NetWeaverTransitioning Architectures from SAP NetWeaverA community contribution from Glencore, an SAP customer, on what replaces NetWeaver-based products as their standard maintenance ends in 2027: the scenarios where NetWeaver-era solutions fall short — integration with cloud-based landscapes, extensibility — and the successor options per use case, pointing at SAP's product availability matrix and note 1648480 for the official successors. Customer-authored, so the framing is a migration decision rather than a product description.published 2025-08-02
Building a Terraform onboarder for SAP Business AI PlatformBuilding a Terraform onboarder for SAP Business AI PlatformA Terraform-driven onboarder the speakers' team built after onboarding one customer onto a generative AI solution in SAP Business AI Platform took five systems and two days by hand each time: what was automated with Terraform, what was kept manual on purpose, and the count of over 100 customers the abstract reports since. The onboarder covers the account provisioning concern; the abstract does not say which systems the five are or whether the Terraform Provider for SAP BTP is the provider behind it.

Use change and deployment management in an ABAP environment with confidenceUse change and deployment management in an ABAP environment with confidenceSAP Cloud Transport Management with SAP Cloud ALM as the governed way to move changes from a cloud-optimised ABAP environment into production: the abstract says the session sets out the process, where it differs from classic transport mechanisms, the current state of every content type it carries, and an outlook on deploying agents through it, which is the transport management concern on the cloud side. What each content type covers, and when agent deployment arrives, is not stated.

CAP is important because it's not importantCAP is important because it's not importantAn essay rather than a technique: what CAP actually is, what it gives you, and the case for treating it as foundational precisely because it is not the interesting part of an application.

Neither is described beyond its name, so what the tooling converts and what Edge Integration Cell runs is not stated.

Monitor your AI agents with the SAP Cloud ALM solutionMonitor your AI agents with the SAP Cloud ALM solutionObserving AI agents with SAP Cloud ALM, which SAP's abstract says is now part of the SAP AI Agent Hub: agent telemetry integrated with application data into one view across agents and the systems they run beside, the telemetry concern read from the operations side. Neither SAP Cloud ALM nor the AI Agent Hub is an atlas entry, and the abstract states the integration as a promise and names no signal or tool.

SAP Cloud Logging Serviceでコンテナメトリクスを監視するSAP Cloud Logging Serviceでコンテナメトリクスを監視するIn Japanese. Container metrics for a CAP Node.js application into SAP Cloud Logging Service, and the reason it exists is that the obvious route does not apply: Spring Boot Actuator covers the Java side, and Node has no equivalent, so the author reaches for Telegraf instead. The procedure is deliberately independent of application logic — bind the instance, add a startup script and a config file — so it works against an application you already have.kyoneo, published 2024-03-26
Multitenant SaaS Application using CAPMultitenant SaaS Application using CAPSAP's reference architecture for a multitenant SaaS application on BTP built with CAP: one deployment serving many tenants with logically separated data, the subscription and onboarding flow, and the BTP services the design leans on. Written for partners and line-of-business teams building on BTP, and it is SAP's own side of the shape multitenancy takes on BTP.published 2025-01-31

Before You Upgrade S/4HANA: Static UI5 Checks with MCPBefore You Upgrade S/4HANA: Static UI5 Checks with MCPA UI5 version upgrade checked against one app by pairing two MCP servers: the ui5_version_diff tool added to mcp-sap-docs, which reads a bundle from ui5-lib-diff downloaded once at setup and filters it by version range, change type, library or query text, and @ui5/mcp-server, whose get_project_info, get_version_info, run_ui5_linter and run_manifest_validation say what the app uses and what fails. Run with a ui5-versions-upgrade.md skill on the legacy app from From SEGW and Legacy UI5 to RAP with ARC-1, from SAPUI5 1.84.59 to 1.147.2, the diff range held 985 deprecations and 961 What's New entries, and the linting and manifest validation narrowed that to findings in this app, among them jQuery.sap.require, synchronous bootstrap, the sap_belize theme, sap.m.MessagePage and an old manifest _version. The checks read the source in a local checkout and never the deployed app, so the report is a first pass: a changelog entry is not proof that a workaround can be deleted, and the app still has to be run and tested.published 2026-05-20
Building an Enterprise-Ready SAP AI Agent with Open SourceBuilding an Enterprise-Ready SAP AI Agent with Open SourceA self-hosted chat agent for SAP systems: LibreChat as UI and orchestrator with Entra ID sign-in and SharePoint connected, a local LLM through Ollama, and two MCP servers, mcp-sap-docs for public documentation and the ADT MCP server vibing-steampunk for the system itself. The ADT server runs in its read-only mode under a technical user with display authorisations only, so the agent can find a function module and pull its source, or locate a RAP business object with its behaviour definition and projection view, but cannot change anything. Two workflows show it, explaining what BAPI_DISPUTE_CREATE does in one system and planning a RAP action from a PDF specification, where the generated ABAP is copied into Eclipse by hand; the full setup is in the marianfoo/llm-client-sap-system-integration-sharepoint repository.published 2026-03-03
Enhancing cyber resilience through AI-enabled tabletop exercisesEnhancing cyber resilience through AI-enabled tabletop exercisesAn AI-enabled platform that generates incident response tabletop exercises, evaluates them and improves them over time, built on cybersecurity frameworks, incident response documentation, system architecture and historical incident data, and producing a scenario and an ideal response model for each. The platform has no entry here and the abstract names nothing the atlas holds; the edge is to Documentation only because the abstract names incident response documentation as an input, which is not the concern of documenting your own project that the capability covers. A TechEd 2026 hands-on session (Tuesday 27 October, Berlin), presented by Cedric HEBERT, Colleen Hebbert, John Bauer and Slim TRABELSI, written here from SAP's abstract; the recording is not yet published.
Finally: An MCP Server for ABAPFinally: An MCP Server for ABAPAnnounces the ABAP variant of mcp-sap-docs, published at mcp-abap.marianzeis.de for GitHub Copilot's Agent Mode in ADT for Eclipse, which the post names as the trigger, with ABAP knowledge still a recurring problem in the models. Documentation irrelevant to ABAP was removed from the SAP docs server and the ABAP Keyword Documentation, the DSAG ABAP Development Guidelines and the ABAP Style Guide were added, with search reaching past the local index to SAP Community posts and SAP Help. Copilot in Eclipse is where the post puts the weight, because SAP Joule for Developers, ABAP AI capabilities in Eclipse is not available for S/4HANA on-premise systems; an update of 2026-02-05 adds Software Heroes as an online source and an abap_feature_matrix tool that checks feature availability across releases and ABAP Cloud, and the server runs hosted or locally with Node or Docker.published 2026-02-04
How I Use AI for Development and Why Context MattersHow I Use AI for Development and Why Context MattersPart one of the AI ABAP development series traces a move from pasting ChatGPT output and error messages back and forth to tools that search, read docs and inspect files themselves, and holds that the context around a model decides more in real projects than benchmark results do. In SAP work the grounding comes from mcp-sap-docs, which brings SAP Help, GitHub repositories, style guides and DSAG guidelines into the session, and context for changing a class also means the tables it uses, the classes it calls and similar implementations. Agentic autonomy is a slider set per project, with the time saved on typing moved into planning and review, and the post stops before ABAP: SAP's MCP servers for UI5, CAP and Fiori (@ui5/mcp-server, @cap-js/mcp-server, @sap-ux/fiori-mcp-server) sit in off-stack work that git and pipelines already gate, and the harder ABAP case is left to the next part.published 2026-04-20

Build a Business Application Using CAP for JavaBuild a Business Application Using CAP for JavaThe Java counterpart to the Node.js path — eight tutorials, around two and a half hours, from a generated project to a running service. Worth having indexed separately rather than folded in with the Node.js one: the runtimes diverge most in exactly the places a first application touches, and following the wrong path is a slow way to find that out.SAP

Develop a Full-Stack CAP Application Following SAP BTP Developer's GuideDevelop a Full-Stack CAP Application Following SAP BTP Developer's GuideThe eight-part path SAP's own Developer's Guide prescribes: a CAP service, Fiori Elements over it, custom logic, authorization, tests, and the preparation deployment needs. It is the closest thing to an official answer to 'what does a whole CAP application look like', which is why it sits under reference applications rather than under any one of the capabilities it touches.SAP
Extending SAP Sales and Service Cloud V2 Using CAPExtending SAP Sales and Service Cloud V2 Using CAPAn extension target that does not run on BTP at all — Sales and Service Cloud V2 sits directly on hyperscalers — so the separation between core and extension is enforced rather than encouraged.
