SAP CAPv7 - Node.js Highlights and ExperiencesSAP CAPv7 - Node.js Highlights and ExperiencesAn account of upgrading a 100+ table CAP Node.js project from v6 to v7, working through breaking changes in @sap/cds 7: event handlers now always receive an array, service paths move under /odata/v4/... unless serve_on_root is set, and cds-serve replaces cds run. It goes deepest on the GraphQL plugin, @cap-js/graphql: the /graphql endpoint it serves, Composition results wrapped in a nodes connection, and offset-based pagination reached through OData's top and skip rather than GraphQL's own limit and offset.published 2023-08-03
AI-assisted full stack development using model context protocol serversAI-assisted full stack development using model context protocol serversMCP servers in Visual Studio Code used to configure, query and change a full-stack application built with CAP, CDS and OData: the agent access to your code concern, a coding assistant reading and changing the project it works in. The abstract names no server, so neither @cap-js/mcp-server nor any other is attached, and it does not say which changes are made. A TechEd 2026 session (Thursday 29 October, Berlin), presented by Sergio Guerrero, written here from SAP's abstract; the recording is not yet published.
Consume Remote Services in a Full-Stack CAP ApplicationConsume Remote Services in a Full-Stack CAP ApplicationExtending the Developer's Guide application with a remote S/4HANA service — connectivity, importing the Business Partner API, and running against it. SAP publishes this as four separate paths: mock server or real S/4HANA Cloud, times Cloud Foundry or Kyma. One entry covers all four, because the difference between them is which backend and which runtime, not what you learn.SAP
Exposing Calculation View with Dynamic Client via OData APIExposing Calculation View with Dynamic Client via OData APIGetting a HANA Cloud calculation view — built in Business Application Studio and deployed to an HDI container, which is the recommended way to build native HANA artifacts — out through an OData API. The gap it fills is the one between HANA-native development and a service a client can call, which CAP does not cover for artifacts it did not generate.published 2023-10-04
Extend SAP SuccessFactors on SAP BTP with the SAP Cloud Application Programming ModelExtend SAP SuccessFactors on SAP BTP with the SAP Cloud Application Programming ModelTwelve tutorials, about two hours, building a side-by-side extension of SuccessFactors on BTP. The spine is remote services: importing the SuccessFactors OData service definitions into a CAP model, then treating them as entities the extension reads and writes through, rather than as an API called from a handler. Indexed as one entry because the parts only make sense in order.SAP
OData entity as a governed query surface for agents, not a toolOData entity as a governed query surface for agents, not a toolAn OData entity, generated from the annotations a service already carries, as the surface an agent queries over SAP data: filterable, selectable and sortable fields, authorisation injected on the server side, and a bound query cost, instead of the entity as a tool. SAP's abstract sets this against the MCP gateway in SAP Integration Suite, where exposing an API is the easy part and getting an agent to pick the right one is not, which is the tool governance concern read through OData.

SAP Fiori elements and the age of AI: Build apps that are future readySAP Fiori elements and the age of AI: Build apps that are future readyBuilding SAP Fiori elements apps so they work with AI and fit SAP's next products: the abstract names AI-assisted development, OData and annotation design, and intent- and action-ready semantics that keep an app secure, discoverable and upgrade safe. Annotation design is the Fiori annotations concern and the OData service under it the other; the atlas holds no entry for SAP Fiori elements itself, and the abstract names no tool, annotation or version.

Edge Integration Cell : Design, deploy and manage APIsEdge Integration Cell : Design, deploy and manage APIsWalks through creating an API artifact in API Management on the customer-managed Edge Integration Cell runtime, including the option to generate the artifact by importing an OpenAPI specification rather than from a URL or by hand. It then attaches an Authentication policy and a Quota step capped at four calls per minute, deploys, and shows both the resulting 401 and the quota-breach error in the Monitor logs. The author frames it as the first of a series on Edge Integration Cell's policies.published 2023-11-15

Also shows gating the Swagger UI behind a user-defined environment variable so it is served in development and QA subaccounts but excluded from the production deployment on Cloud Foundry.

Agentic CAP: Build MCP servers and enterprise AI agentsAgentic CAP: Build MCP servers and enterprise AI agentsCAP applications become AI agents over the Model Context Protocol and the Agent2Agent protocol, which is the serve your application over MCP concern, and SAP AI Core is the LLM integration through which AI is embedded in a CAP app, with recommendations from the SAP-RPT-1 model as the abstract's example. The abstract names the two protocols and the one model and does not say which packages carry them. A two-hour TechEd 2026 session in a hands-on room (Tuesday 27 October, Berlin), presented by Daniel Hutzel, Daniel Schlachter, Marc Huber and Sami Lechner, written here from SAP's abstract; the recording is not yet published.
CAP Node.js Expert Session #6 - The MCP AdapterCAP Node.js Expert Session #6 - The MCP AdapterDaniel Schlachter and DJ Adams add @cap-js/mcp to a bookshop service, inspect its describe, query and action tools, and query the catalogue through an AI agent. The session distinguishes this runtime adapter from the development-time MCP server and demonstrates automatic registration of the running service with a local agent. The recording describes the adapter as beta in July 2026, with read-only queries and writes through unbound actions.
Configure an MCP Server Created from an HTTP EndpointConfigure an MCP Server Created from an HTTP EndpointDocuments configuring API Management’s HTTP-source MCP server tools, resources, prompts and policies. Resources are selected from GET operations and have URI templates/content types; prompts define User/Assistant messages with optional arguments, alongside MCP policy configuration.

MCP Server — SAP Integration SuiteMCP Server — SAP Integration SuiteSAP's own page for the MCP Server artifact in SAP Integration Suite, and where the gateway that runs it is described: MCP clients and API clients reach the same backends through two gateways that share security, traffic management and multi-protocol connectivity. Sets out the three primitives a server may expose — tools derived from API operations with an input and output schema, resources addressed by URI for context rather than action, and prompts as reusable interaction patterns. Says availability depends on the Integration Suite service plan, and points at the three creation paths as separate pages.
Model Context Protocol (MCP)Model Context Protocol (MCP)Frames the Model Context Protocol as the answer to an M-times-N integration problem: one shared protocol turns M agents and N tools into M plus N connections, and one server can be called by any compliant agent. On SAP BTP its implementation section lists an SAP MCP Hub as a no-code way to expose enterprise tools, SAP Integration Suite's MCP Gateway as what it calls the governed path for exposing SAP and non-SAP APIs as MCP-compliant tools, custom SDK-based servers, SAP's MCP servers for development, and an MCP adapter for CDS as a CAP plugin marked coming soon. That is the ground MCP servers covers; for security it points at a separate page.

Third-Party MCP Server Access to SAP Solutions on BTPThird-Party MCP Server Access to SAP Solutions on BTPDescribes external MCP servers and custom servers on BTP, assigning their operators responsibility for authentication, scoped identity, API limits, logging and lifecycle. The permitted use remains conditional on the SAP API Policy, while SAP Integration Suite and Joule Studio are described as SAP-provided paths. Hosting a server on BTP does not automatically supply its governance controls.Dhawal Joshi, Harut Ter-Minasyan, Mirko Günther
SAP Event Mesh: S4 HANA On-Prem and SAP CI(BTP IS) through WebSocket and WebhooksSAP Event Mesh: S4 HANA On-Prem and SAP CI(BTP IS) through WebSocket and WebhooksA step-by-step walkthrough of wiring Event Mesh to publish and consume events between an on-premise S/4HANA system and Cloud Integration, contrasting persistent queues (one subscriber, kept until consumed) against unpersisted topics, and WebSocket's AMQP transport against webhook delivery for the same queue. Two tested findings support it: a queue consumer running in continuous consumption mode receives a message ahead of a webhook on the same topic, and a message stays queued and is retried (almost 8770 times in under a minute, in the author's test) until the consumer processes it successfully.FarooqAhmed, published 2023-10-03

Data Product Governance in SAP Business Data CloudData Product Governance in SAP Business Data CloudA Devtoberfest 2026 data-track session (DAT-41) on data product governance in SAP Business Data Cloud, released as an MVP: every data product belongs to a domain, a consumer puts one in a cart and raises an access request with a purpose, a target location and acknowledged terms and conditions, and a data steward's approval becomes an access agreement recording who uses which data product where. The demo runs both sides in the BDC cockpit — domains, access management and data product management for the steward, catalog, cart and request for the consumer, with Databricks as the target workspace — and that is what the Cataloguing and lineage edge rests on. It also states the current limits: one default domain until custom domains and subdomains arrive, auto-approved requests for space copies, transports and intelligent content, stewards who cannot yet revoke an active agreement, and an install step still done by hand after approval.SAP Developers

The Full Picture: Federating, Replicating, and Caching Remote Data in CAP — Part 1The Full Picture: Federating, Replicating, and Caching Remote Data in CAP — Part 1Part one of two, and the concepts half: terminology, what CAP already does, and what a project still has to write. It fixes a vocabulary — federation is the umbrella for making remote data part of your model, delegation forwards each request to the remote at query time, replication is a scheduled copy into the local database, and caching is an option on either rather than a third strategy — which collides with CAP's own, since what this series calls replication is what the CAP-level Data Federation guide calls federation. From the ground the Service Integration guide covers, it lists what is left to hand-write: cross-service $expand, navigation filters across the boundary, write forwarding, timeouts and retries, then scheduling, delta detection, backoff, a guard for two app instances sharing one schedule, idempotent writes, and knowing whether the last run succeeded. That list is why the edge to cds-data-federation holds: the second half maps it onto @federation.delegate and @federation.replicate and says which package carries which part — annotations in cds-data-federation, the scheduled engine in cds-data-pipeline, response caching through cds-caching — so it is the design rationale for the annotations, not the API reference. The gap list and the plugins answering it come from the same person who maintains them; cap-replication-demo and SAP's xtravels sample are cited as the hand-written form of the same work. Part 2 is announced as a walkthrough of a demo application and is not covered here.

#BTP #SAPCAP: Quirky Nuggets (N01-N02)#BTP #SAPCAP: Quirky Nuggets (N01-N02)Walks through two CAP gotchas: the on/before/after phases of custom event handlers, shown with an after handler whose edits only reach the result when the handler returns an object or array, never a primitive; and the @assert.unique annotation, which builds a database uniqueness constraint from the model. For Input validation, the catch is that once the constrained property is nested, @assert.unique must name it by its model dot path (assignment.type) rather than the flattened column data modelling compiles it to (assignment_type).published 2023-06-05

SAP Event Mesh: S4 HANA On-Prem and SAP CI(BTP IS) through WebSocket and WebhooksSAP Event Mesh: S4 HANA On-Prem and SAP CI(BTP IS) through WebSocket and WebhooksA step-by-step walkthrough of wiring Event Mesh to publish and consume events between an on-premise S/4HANA system and Cloud Integration, contrasting persistent queues (one subscriber, kept until consumed) against unpersisted topics, and WebSocket's AMQP transport against webhook delivery for the same queue. Two tested findings support it: a queue consumer running in continuous consumption mode receives a message ahead of a webhook on the same topic, and a message stays queued and is retried (almost 8770 times in under a minute, in the author's test) until the consumer processes it successfully.FarooqAhmed, published 2023-10-03
Unlock composable business using SAP Integration Suite, advanced event meshUnlock composable business using SAP Integration Suite, advanced event meshSAP Integration Suite, advanced event mesh as SAP's product for event-driven, real-time and loosely coupled integration between SAP and third-party systems, which the abstract ties to composable business architecture. The session is about that product and the Event Mesh concern it answers; the abstract states the positioning and no feature, topic or protocol, and a speaker from CCB Management Services is listed without a stated case.

Build an integration scenario from scratch with AI assistance at every stepBuild an integration scenario from scratch with AI assistance at every stepBuilds an integration scenario in SAP Integration Suite from nothing and takes it through design, deployment, optimisation, monitoring and resolution with AI assistance at each step, which is the Integration flows concern worked end to end. The abstract names the phases and the kinds of help, development, analysis, troubleshooting and continuous improvement, and no feature or tool that gives them.

Edge Integration Cell - what's new?Edge Integration Cell - what's new?A Devtoberfest 2026 integration-track session (INT-41) on Edge Integration Cell, the runtime of SAP Integration Suite a customer runs on their own Kubernetes cluster while design, configuration and monitoring stay in the cloud tenant. It names what the customer has to provide — a supported Kubernetes platform, SAP HANA or PostgreSQL, Redis or Valkey as data store, a load balancer — then the Edge Lifecycle Management cockpit with its monthly rolling updates, the inbuilt and the external Cloud Connector options and why a DMZ placement calls for the second, and the adapters available only on Edge: RFC sender, NFS, OFTP2 and UNF. The demo deploys an OFTP-to-file flow to the Edge runtime and shows the same flow rejected when its runtime profile is switched to cloud, which is where the Integration flows edge holds.SAP Developers

Rethinking security for modern SAP solution landscapesRethinking security for modern SAP solution landscapesWhere risk goes when clean core moves custom logic out of SAP S/4HANA: into integration flows, CAP extensions, ABAP Cloud code and platform configuration, told through real attack stories, then scanning code, modelling attack paths, adding security gates to CI/CD pipelines and automating safely with Terraform. The scanning edge is to static analysis, the atlas's concern for security findings in ABAP code; the abstract lists the four surfaces and the four practices and describes none of them.

SAP Cloud Integration chamber of horrorsSAP Cloud Integration chamber of horrorsA Devtoberfest 2026 integration-track session that goes through anti-patterns in Cloud Integration iFlows: scripts that re-implement flow steps or make external calls, the ESB_Messaging.send role on every sender channel, default flow-step names, dependence on undocumented platform internals, code that rewrites what the Groovy and Java libraries already hold, XML namespaces stripped to simplify XPath, HTTP calls between iFlows on one tenant where ProcessDirect would stay inside it, externalised parameters too few or too many, and MPL attachments left switched on in production. Each one comes with how to spot it — long scripts, jar files for SFTP communication, the design guidelines and upgrade readiness checks, or a rule in the presenter's own CPILint run locally or in a pipeline — and that pass over flow steps, sender roles, adapters and the message processing log is what the Integration flows edge rests on. The questions afterwards cover the GitHub integration in Cloud Integration, the absence of an official MCP server for building iFlows, and whether generated code shifts the choice between mapping, XSLT and scripting.SAP Developers

#BTP #SAPCAP: Quirky Nuggets (N05-N06)#BTP #SAPCAP: Quirky Nuggets (N05-N06)On SAP BTP, Cloud Foundry Runtime, a one-shot PostgreSQL db-deployer app can be restarted by the platform's default port-type health check inside its 60-second timeout, re-running the deploy and duplicating data in the PostgreSQL database; setting health-check-type to process or http, via cf commands or the app's mta.yaml parameters, avoids it. In CAP, a remote service's entities are imported and consumed through cds.connect.to and queried via a projection, but its functions and actions cannot be projected: they must be redefined in the consuming service's own interface, with the handler forwarding the call to the remote proxy.published 2023-07-27

Patterns for using LLMs in ABAP developmentPatterns for using LLMs in ABAP developmentLars Hvam compares eight ABAP development setups: assistance in SE80 or Eclipse, virtual files and MCP over ADT, a centrally managed MCP service, sandboxes, local Git, Git with read-only system context, and temporary ABAP systems for development and CI. The overview describes where source changes, review and system access happen, including abapGit synchronization and abaplint checks. It is dated March 2026; its risk, cost and autonomy ratings are the writer’s assessments.

From confident to correct: AI search results you can actually trustFrom confident to correct: AI search results you can actually trustHow SAP LeanIX designs its AI search agents so that a result does not need checking in the UI: agents that adapt to each customer's own workspace model, with ambiguous queries and silent errors at scale as the two problems the talk takes on. The atlas holds no entry for SAP LeanIX itself; the SAP LeanIX MCP Server is the nearest entry, and the abstract names neither it nor any mechanism behind the agents, so the edge rests on the product name alone.

MCP Gateway in Practice: Architecture, configuration, and hands-onMCP Gateway in Practice: Architecture, configuration, and hands-onA Devtoberfest 2026 integration-track session (INT-21) on the MCP gateway of SAP Integration Suite: curated enterprise APIs served to agents as MCP tools over JSON-RPC, behind the authentication, authorization and traffic policies an API artifact already carries, with the existing API layer left in place. The hands-on half composes S/4HANA plant, material-stock and supplier data with a non-SAP location-risk source into one business data graph, downloads its OpenAPI specification, creates an MCP server artifact with tools, prompts and a surge-protection policy over that endpoint, and publishes it as a product in Developer Hub of API Management, where an agent developer subscribes and gets OAuth credentials. An MCP client then asks for 15 brake pads and ranks plants by stock, location risk and distance from Walldorf, which is what the agent access to your systems edge rests on; the Q&A covers principal propagation to the backend, how errors reach the model, and which Integration Suite editions carry the gateway.SAP Developers
