abap-cloud-guiabap-cloud-guiA report-style programming model for abap2UI5: one class produces a selection screen with a WRITE list or an ALV grid, running as a UI5 app on ABAP Cloud as well as on NetWeaver 7.02.independent, abap
Report-style programming model for abap2UI5 on ABAP Cloud
Not a way to run existing reports unchanged: a report is rewritten as a class, and `CALL SCREEN`, dynpro modules, batch input, `SUBMIT` and native SQL are refused by the converter rather than mapped. Not an SAP GUI in the browser either: the programming model is classic and the screens are UI5, and the README points at abap2UI5-addons/sapgui for SE16N or SM37. Output has gaps the README names — ALV cells show dates and times as the model carries them rather than in the user's format, print is a text file because ABAP Cloud has no spool, and value tables for F4 are read on premise only.

SAP's list of released APIs for SAP Cloud ERP with successors
It is a catalogue of SAP's objects and not a reading of your code: it states that an object is not released, never that you used it, and the finding is the ATC check's. For SAP Cloud ERP Private the files exist for feature pack stack releases only, with no update per support package, so a system between two stacks is checked against its stack's file.

Modernization Agents for SAP on AWSModernization Agents for SAP on AWSAWS's suite of agents for SAP modernisation work: custom ABAP converted for S/4HANA, PI/PO interfaces moved to Integration Suite, BW objects moved to SAP Datasphere, deployed into a customer's own AWS account and reached only after registration.partner, abap
AWS agents for ABAP, PI/PO and BW modernisation work
There is nothing to clone here: "Access is provided through a registration page. Once registered, you will receive access to the GitHub repository containing the agents, deployment guides, and documentation", and that repository answers 404 to anyone who has not registered, so neither the agent code nor the deployment guides can be read before the form is filled in. AWS states the agents are published as an unsupported solution, with customers responsible for testing and securing the code before deploying in production, and that they are intended for non-production SAP environments rather than production systems. The documentation link in the README is still a placeholder.

MCP server answering whether SAP objects are released for ABAP Cloud
It answers about the object catalogue, not about your code: nothing here reads your system, so it will tell you a table is not released and not that you used it. That check is ATC's, and this is what makes ATC's answer actionable.

050: Clean Core Measurement (Preview)050: Clean Core Measurement (Preview)Walks through Clean Core Measurement (CCM), an open-source tool for tracking ABAP Cloud readiness across a system landscape: a dashboard showing Cloud Ready and Upgrade Stable status and a Technical Debt Score per system, runs recorded under administration, and a process area where custom APIs not released by SAP can be documented and excluded from the score. Reporting breaks the score down to individual objects, the unreleased APIs behind them, and which team or product cluster carries the most outstanding work.Björn S., published 2026-08-03
ABAP development under the Clean Core paradigm: From BAPIs to BO and CDSABAP development under the Clean Core paradigm: From BAPIs to BO and CDSSAP's Level Based Clean Core classification (2025) grades ABAP APIs A through D by cloud readiness, and this piece uses the S/4HANA Cloudification Repository's own count — of 3,847 BAPI function modules for SAP Cloud ERP Private, only 23 are Level A — to show how much Classic API (Level B) code needs to move to RAP business objects instead. A worked Bank Master example matches each BAPI to its EML statement or ABAP CDS SELECT equivalent, and states when that move is actually required: mandatory once on SAP Public Cloud, optional but advisable on Private Cloud/On-Premise as BAPIs stop gaining new fields.published 2026-05-21
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

CCM - Calculate Key FiguresCCM - Calculate Key FiguresExplains how the Clean Core Measurement (CCM) project turns ABAP Test Cockpit findings into the Technical Debt Score shown on its Clean Core Dashboard: messages from the ABAP_CLEAN_CORE_READINESS check are weighted by severity level (B/C/D) and summed per object, while the object's overall classification follows its highest message level rather than the point total. Covers where the calculation can be tuned — configurable weights, an exemption process, and additional metrics for documented but unreleased API use — and how the resulting score and classification drive the object list and per-object processing views.Björn S., published 2026-08-05
Clean Core IndexClean Core IndexDescribes a company-built KPI, the Clean Core Index, that scores existing custom ABAP code by object type — reports, function modules, SAPScript/Smartforms, ATC S/4 readiness-check findings, user exits and modifications — each weighted by a severity the author sets for redesign effort and upgrade risk, with counts read off CDS views built for the purpose. The index is the author's own definition rather than an official one and does not by itself certify public-cloud readiness, but tracking it weekly shows where custom code still blocks a move to ABAP Cloud and lets progress be read per module or per object type.patrick_weber11, published 2025-08-15
Object Release State in Cloudification Repository Viewer for Clean Core ExtensibilityObject Release State in Cloudification Repository Viewer for Clean Core ExtensibilityWalks through the five release states the Cloudification Repository Viewer assigns to an object — Released, Deprecated, Classic API, Not to be Released, and No API — and what each means for ABAP Cloud readiness: the clean core level it maps to and the ATC check priority it triggers. Explains why the same object can carry two states at once, such as a Classic API that later also becomes Released, and why the check has to be run against the specific release being developed on rather than assumed to hold across releases.PrasanthPadmanabhan, published 2026-03-20
Recommendations for Wrapper Interface DesignRecommendations for Wrapper Interface DesignWalks through designing a wrapper interface that encapsulates a classic BAPI (BAPI_USER_GET_DETAIL) behind a C1-released interface, so the code released for ABAP Cloud stays limited to types and structures ABAP Cloud can actually access. Covers when a non-released SAP structure can still be referenced safely, when it cannot, and how the API_CONSISTENCY and API_COMPATIBILITY ATC checks catch the difference before an upgrade breaks it.kaidehmann, published 2026-06-25
Taking Control of Clean Core: When to Use Project Kernseife in addition to Standard SAP ToolsTaking Control of Clean Core: When to Use Project Kernseife in addition to Standard SAP ToolsWalks through how SAP's standard path classifies custom ABAP extensions into Clean Core Levels A through D, running ABAP Test Cockpit against the Cloudification Repository's release status for each SAP object an extension touches, then feeding results into the RISE with SAP Methodology Dashboard in SAP Cloud ALM. Contrasts that with Project Kernseife, an open-source custom ATC check that lets a team override SAP's classification with project-specific rules, define its own successor objects (including custom wrappers), and expose a Score and Potential Score per finding through a CDS view for prioritizing cleanup — at the cost of owning and maintaining that classification. States which situations favor each: Kernseife where the standard rules are too rigid for the project's reality, the standard dashboard where cross-system comparability and low maintenance effort matter more.LBretschneider, published 2025-11-04

How to Build Application Jobs in SAP Business AI Platform, ABAP environmentHow to Build Application Jobs in SAP Business AI Platform, ABAP environmentA Devtoberfest 2026 session on the application job framework in the cloud ABAP environment, built from the repository objects outwards: a class implementing the new application job interface, whose public attributes become the parameters and select options, the application log object it writes to, a job catalog entry that lays out sections, groups and value helps, and a job catalog template that works like a report variant. The demo schedules and monitors runs in the Application Jobs Fiori app, starts a job from a RAP action through the scheduling API under a job user of its own, and debugs one through the template's run-for-testing entry. It closes on the alternatives for work that should not be a job — the background processing framework for short-running work, and RAP events consumed locally or sent over the event mesh — which is the async processing this session covers for SAP BTP ABAP environment.published 2026-09-28

SAP BAIP, ABAP environment – How to build partner solutions and get them certifiedSAP BAIP, ABAP environment – How to build partner solutions and get them certifiedA Devtoberfest 2026 session on the two ways a partner ships an ABAP Cloud solution built on SAP BTP ABAP environment, which the session calls the ABAP environment of SAP Business AI Platform: software delivery, where an add-on product is published with the solution ID from SAP Store onboarding and the customer discovers and deploys it into their own system, and service delivery, where the partner operates the same add-on as a multi-tenant SaaS and a new version is deployed rather than published again. That is the ABAP environment edge; the static analysis edge rests on the quality steps shown in the landscape portal, where the Manage Continuous Testing app released with 2608 runs an ATC check variant against a configured system on a recurrence pattern, beside test product version builds and managed test tenants. The second half walks through the SAP Integration and Certification Center process and the three BTP certification options open to an add-on product.SAP Developers, published 2026-10-12

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

It still crashes with features.odata_new_adapter turned off to use the old OData parser, so it is the new OData adapter, like the REST adapter before it, that answers an uncaught error with a 500 instead of taking the process down.Dinu, published 2024-09-06

Never as the figure a billing decision rests on: the repository states this is not a replacement for the official billing documents, that the information it provides is purely indicative, and that it recommends verifying against the official BTP Cockpit usage reports. It is published as a sample or reference implementation and says it is not intended for production use without review, testing and hardening.

Never as the figure a billing decision rests on: the repository states that the tool is provided as-is, is not covered by SAP Support, is not a replacement of the official billing documents you receive from SAP, and that the information it provides is purely indicative. Its daily delta is also an approximation over a 24-hour period rather than a hard data point for the consumption on that day, because some services report usage only the day after it happened.

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. Spend metrics reach SAP Cloud Logging over OTLP through Kyma's Telemetry MetricPipeline while the health analysis itself lands in Kubernetes custom resources read in Busola, and the stack is declared as KRO Resource Group Definitions applied with one Terraform command.quovadis, published 2026-07-09

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. A closing section names what stays unfinished by design — a long-lived AI Core service key, no authentication on the BTP destination, no principal propagation — as the gap between this MVP and a production posture.rodfior, published 2026-08-20

It then restricts the service with @restrict (READ granted to a Viewer role, full access to Admin) and adds OData Capabilities restrictions plus @odata.draft.enabled so a Fiori elements client renders create, update and delete without UI code. It closes by adding a UI module with the SAP Fiori Generator, wiring an approuter via cds add approuter to forward the auth token, and updating the SAP Authorization and Trust Management service instance with the generated redirect URI before redeploying.archisman92, published 2025-05-10

SAP CAP Lessons Learned: Quick deployment with manifest and cf pushSAP CAP Lessons Learned: Quick deployment with manifest and cf pushShows a shortcut for testing CAP behaviour that only shows up on SAP BTP: a manifest.yml scoped to the service module (path: gen/srv, the service's bound BTP services), generated quickly with cds add cf-manifest, then cds build -- production followed by cf push to send just that module. This partial deployment skips the database and UI, so the author notes it can skip usual build tasks and any other change still needs a full MTA build and deploy.LucasMagriniRigo, published 2025-01-07
SAP CAP Lessons Learned: Run a CAP app using SQLite on SAP BTP - Cloud FoundrySAP CAP Lessons Learned: Run a CAP app using SQLite on SAP BTP - Cloud FoundrySQLite past the point it is meant to go — deployed, not local. Written as a lesson learned rather than a recommendation, and it pairs with the author's own note that SQLite is single threaded.LucasMagriniRigo, published 2024-12-30
SAP CAP With Prostgres Serice in BTPSAP CAP With Prostgres Serice in BTPA step-by-step walkthrough of a CAP bookshop project on @cap-js/postgres, provisioning PostgreSQL on SAP BTP, hyperscaler option's trial plan through mta.yaml, building the MTA archive and deploying it to Cloud Foundry by hand, then inspecting the deployed database with pgAdmin over an SSH tunnel. It updates an earlier post by Mike Zaschka on the same topic to the package CAP now ships by default, though the manual build-and-deploy sequence it shows predates cds up folding those steps into one command by a day.satya-dev, published 2025-03-30

Simple steps to deploy your CAP project to HANA cloudSimple steps to deploy your CAP project to HANA cloudWritten from the far side of a failed deploy — the author says these are the troubleshooting steps that ended up working, not a designed procedure.

Speed up deployment for CAP using TurborepoSpeed up deployment for CAP using TurborepoImpatience as a method: minutes of waiting on MBT and cf deploy sent the author looking for alternatives. It is fair to MBT first — a wrapper doing the whole deployment in one go, creating services and applications along the way — before showing what Turborepo changes about the build half. The trade it makes is explicit rather than assumed.published 2024-12-06

SQLite as database for a multi-target (/productive) CAP ApplicationSQLite as database for a multi-target (/productive) CAP ApplicationOpens with "Not recommended but possible", and then names the two cases where it is the right call anyway: a showcase, and a landscape with no HANA Cloud available. The caveat is the content.Christopher_Ketzler, published 2024-07-05

The fastest way to a deployable CAP app on SAP BTP Cloud FoundryThe fastest way to a deployable CAP app on SAP BTP Cloud FoundryThe gap between an application that runs locally and one that runs deployed — binding, bundling, the database connection, authorization — treated as the problem rather than as setup. Since updated for cds up, which is the shortest answer the core now offers, and the post carries that update inline rather than leaving the original standing.published 2025-02-13
The Future of Continuous Delivery for SAP Cloud SDK and SAP Cloud Application Programming ModelThe Future of Continuous Delivery for SAP Cloud SDK and SAP Cloud Application Programming ModelA direction note on the Continuous Delivery Pipeline that Cloud SDK and CAP projects were expected to start from, written by someone on the inside as its future was being decided. Dated 2020, so read it for what was being weighed rather than for what to run — and as one of the few places the reasoning behind a tooling direction was written down at all.published 2020-11-23

Tips for running CAP nodejs in SAP BTPTips for running CAP nodejs in SAP BTPDeliberately not a summary of capire: the author says up front that nothing here repeats the documented best practices, and the subject is configuration for running cloud-natively rather than correctly. Examples target Cloud Foundry, with the claim that they hold for Kyma too.published 2023-06-21

Using Github Actions to Deploy a CAP App (MTA)Using Github Actions to Deploy a CAP App (MTA)Walks through a GitHub Actions workflow that deploys a CAP project's MTA to SAP BTP, Cloud Foundry: secrets and variables for the BTP credentials, a push-triggered job that checks out the repository, installs Node.js, runs npx mbt build and then cf deploy against the target org and space, plus an optional test job and a note on reusable workflow templates. Written because capire's own CI/CD guide is Docker-based and the linked sample is marked broken, so this fills the gap with the plain cds add mta / mbt build / cf deploy sequence driven by a pipeline instead of a terminal. That sequence is exactly what cds up, beta since @sap/cds-dk 8.9.0 (March 2025), now runs as one command, so the pipeline mechanics still hold but the three manual build-and-deploy steps it scripts are no longer the only way there.Christopher_Ketzler, published 2024-08-26
从BTP Launchpad里的sapui5应用里调用部署的CPI IFLOW从BTP Launchpad里的sapui5应用里调用部署的CPI IFLOWA short follow-up to the author's earlier post on calling a deployed CPI iflow from a standalone-router SAPUI5 app, adjusted for the case where the app runs inside the BTP Launchpad: the fetch call is built from the launchpad component's own base URI, and the app's xs-app.json approuter route maps a /cpi/* path to a destination that fronts the CPI iflow runtime, with XSUAA authentication on the route. It also walks the MTA build and cf deploy commands used to push the app, scaffolded with generator-easy-ui5, to BTP.Jacky_Liu1, published 2023-06-13
