Building an Attachment Upload and Download Solution Using UploadSetwithTable ControlBuilding an Attachment Upload and Download Solution Using UploadSetwithTable ControlThe successor control to UploadSet posts the file in one request by default, and against CAP that is wrong: the record has to be created first and the content put to it afterwards. The author states the two-step shape plainly and notes it may not apply to an ABAP backend, which is the kind of boundary that usually goes unsaid. Written during a proof of concept for a reusable attachment component, and it carries the problem they hit with the control.published 2025-03-13
Configure Journal Entry Posting Approval from Store Template in Build Process AutomationConfigure Journal Entry Posting Approval from Store Template in Build Process AutomationWalks through deploying SAP's Journal Entry Posting Approval template from the SAP Build Process Automation Store against an on-premise S/4HANA system that has no Secure Network Connection: destinations for S/4HANA via Cloud Connector, for SAP Document Management service, integration option to hold the approval's supporting documents, and for the BPA service and its SMTP mail. It then swaps the template's SNC action groups for basic-connection BAPI calls and deploys the approval's UI5 applications so the task lands in My Inbox, with a Desktop Agent registered to run the unattended document-check and document-post automations.published 2025-01-28

AI-assisted SAP development with MCPAI-assisted SAP development with MCPA Devtoberfest 2026 session (UI-41) that traces AI-assisted SAP development from pasting code into a chat window to coding agents with built-in connectors, and sorts the MCP servers around SAP development into SAP's own, the community's and the hosted ones, where the agent cannot change what the server allows. Four demos follow: GitHub Copilot alone explaining an ABAP report from a Git repository, @ui5/mcp-server reading an OpenUI5 sample app and converting it to TypeScript, mcp-sap-docs grounding Terraform files for a BTP subaccount the presenter had not written before, and arc-1 with Copilot in Eclipse tracing why a title longer than 40 characters is rejected and proposing the DDIC-allowed length instead. It ends on a skill that migrates an SAP Gateway project on an ECC system to RAP on S/4HANA step by step, and on a rule Marian Zeis gives for servers written for internal use: keep them read-only, because what the agent is short of is context.published 2026-10-16
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
Beyond copilots: Agentic development with SAPUI5Beyond copilots: Agentic development with SAPUI5Devtoberfest 2026 session UI-12, from the SAPUI5 team, on the year of work behind UI5/plugins-coding-agents: what a model produces for UI5 without help — outdated concepts, framework versions a decade old, generic JavaScript rules, code that does not run — and the two ways they chose to close that gap, an MCP server in September 2025 and skills packaged as plugins once agents began reading them. Three plugins are demonstrated live in Claude Code: the everyday one scaffolds an Oktoberfest tents application in about four minutes, the TypeScript conversion plugin rewrites an existing JavaScript project and reconfigures its build with the types and the transpile task, and the modernisation plugin takes a ten-year-old application through staged migrations, applying UI5 Linter's automatic fixes where they cannot break the app and the model where they can, then running the tests. @ui5/mcp-server is still the path for the parts that need a server, and the plugins are installed from the Claude Code and GitHub Copilot marketplaces rather than a UI5-hosted one.SAP Developers, published 2026-09-25
Evaluating SAP’s new MCP servers: UI5, CAP, and Fiori tools in practiceEvaluating SAP’s new MCP servers: UI5, CAP, and Fiori tools in practiceSomeone trying SAP's three new MCP servers rather than repeating the announcement. It sets the official positioning first — MCP as the bridge from coding assistants to SAP tooling across Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, Cline and Claude Code, with best-practice scaffolds and BTP-aligned guardrails — and then reports what using them is actually like. The rare kind of post that tests a vendor claim.published 2025-09-04
From SEGW and Legacy UI5 to RAP with ARC-1From SEGW and Legacy UI5 to RAP with ARC-1Three ARC-1 skills, run in Cursor with Composer-2 against a deliberately rough demo on an S/4HANA 2023 trial system, turn the SEGW service ZDEMO_MIG_PROJECTS_SRV into a managed, draft-enabled RAP business object published as OData V4, replace its ApproveProject function import and its direct UPDATE ... COMMIT WORK with the action approve_project written in EML in local mode, and rebuild the freestyle UI5 JavaScript app once in UI5 TypeScript and once as a Fiori elements list report and object page driven by metadata extensions. What the published transcripts add is how the agent got there: it found the generated MPC class names and the custom logic in DPC_EXT only by reading the system, the skills made it print the extracted model and stop for confirmation before writing, and @ui5/mcp-server, mcp-sap-docs and @sap-ux/fiori-mcp-server each had their own job beside it. The demo is small on purpose, and the post says a productive SEGW service that calls BAPIs, carries custom authorisation logic or supports deep inserts is not solved with one prompt.published 2026-05-11

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
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.

Guidance, not access: these are instructions handed to an agent, and what the agent can then read of your project comes from [@ui5/mcp-server](artifact:ui5-mcp-server) or the editor. A modernisation workflow that runs autonomously across a codebase is also a thing to point at a branch rather than at main.

Bring "developers.sap.com" Into Your Dev Environment: SAP Developer Context for AI Coding AgentsBring "developers.sap.com" Into Your Dev Environment: SAP Developer Context for AI Coding AgentsDevtoberfest 2026 session FA-11: a tour of the rebuilt developers.sap.com by the team that runs it, from the administration screens behind the home page to the agent interfaces in front of it. The site is a CAP application on SAP HANA Cloud and SAP BTP, open-sourced in full, and the half of the session that places it here is how its content reaches an agent: every tutorial is also served as markdown, a coding agent is detected and given that version instead of the HTML, a well-known agent card advertises what the site offers, and SAP Developers MCP answers questions about tutorials, news and a reader's own completion history in Claude Code and Joule Desktop, over OAuth or a personal access token. Behind the answers sit two things working together: a knowledge graph in the HANA database over 1400 tutorials and 11,000 concepts, and SAP AI Core for the Joule interactions and the embeddings, with the agent harness written for the site rather than taken off a shelf. Where neither MCP nor A2A is available, the same content is published as skills.SAP Developers, published 2026-09-25
Bringing SAP themes to any web app with coding agentsBringing SAP themes to any web app with coding agentsA Devtoberfest 2026 session from SAP's UI theme designer team, in two halves. The first is how an SAP theme is built: seven reference tokens, the main tokens that carry the semantics, component tokens such as the emphasized button background, and derived tokens for states like hover — the inheritance chain that makes theming hard to follow by eye, and the reason a custom theme always derives from an SAP base theme. The second installs SAP/ui-theme-designer-plugins-for-coding-agents in Claude Code and has it apply SAP design tokens to a login screen built with a non-SAP component library, then make the page themeable from a theme root and a theme URL parameter; the design-tokens skill npm-installs the theming content to read current parameter values, and the help skill fetches the UI theme designer help pages at query time. The presenters state the skills are not limited to SAPUI5 and run in any coding agent that reads skills.SAP Developers, published 2026-09-25
Github Copilot VSCode - My Own SAP Development RulesGithub Copilot VSCode - My Own SAP Development RulesOne developer's rule files for Copilot, split by concern rather than kept as one prompt: CAP backend rules, UI5 frontend rules, Jest testing rules and Bruno collection rules, each with a scope narrow enough that an agent cannot read it two ways. The CAP file covers reusable types, managed data, soft-delete behaviour and service conventions; the UI5 file covers naming, view constraints and where annotations may live. It is the rule-file half of agent guidance rather than the skill half — nothing is packaged or published, and the value on offer is the shape of the split.radu_simen, published 2026-02-05
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
UI5 Plugins for Coding Agents: Now Supporting GitHub CopilotUI5 Plugins for Coding Agents: Now Supporting GitHub CopilotUI5/plugins-coding-agents renames itself from "UI5 Plugins for Claude", since the plugin concept — skills, MCP server, guidelines — was always agent-agnostic, and with v0.1.3 adds GitHub Copilot support alongside Claude Code through Awesome GitHub Copilot. Three skills join the ui5 plugin: ui5-best-practices-integration-cards for UI Integration Card manifest and binding rules, ui5-best-practices-opa5, which uses a TestRecorder to inspect the running app's control tree and generate waitFor snippets, and ui5-best-practices-tables, a selection guide across UI5's table controls.

In the samples the model selects the tool and does not generate the interface, the prebuilt kind of generative UI, and the subject is the server side of MCP servers: register the resource, link it from the tool's _meta.ui.resourceUri, return text content as a fallback beside structuredContent, call callServerTool() only for tools of the server that owns the app, and send a message to the host when another server such as ARC-1 has to act. It stops at the host, whose support differs by client and whose iframe sandbox is not a complete security model, and Joule support for MCP Apps could not be verified at the time of writing.published 2026-07-13

It is text processing, not an agent: there is no tool calling, no retrieval and no conversation. It needs SAP AI Core, and the backend half needs [@sap-ai-sdk/orchestration](artifact:sap-ai-sdk-orchestration) installed alongside it — an optional peer, so a frontend-only install stays lean.

How to consume UI5 custom libraries in BAS or VS CodeHow to consume UI5 custom libraries in BAS or VS CodeConsuming a custom UI5 library from a UI5 application locally, using yarn workspaces to resolve the dependency instead of adjusting the project before every deploy. The post is honest about its own history: the author had asked the question on SAP Community, found a workaround that needed a pre-deploy edit, and only later learned the workspace approach that removes it. Generator-based setup throughout, and 2021-vintage — yarn workspaces, generator-ui5-library and generator-easy-ui5.published 2021-04-06
UI Composition with Application Frontend ServiceUI Composition with Application Frontend ServiceWhy shared UI code is hard, and what Application Frontend changes about it. The piece first lays out the three usual answers and what each costs — copying files at development time and repatching every consumer, publishing an npm package and rebuilding every consumer, or hosting the code separately and paying for it in CORS and session handling, or in an extra network hop through a server-side proxy. It then shows a fourth that only this service can do: runtime server-side composition without the hop, configured through routes in the consuming application's xs-app.json, across three cases — a reusable application embedded in a consumer, and two further composition shapes. Read alongside the generator, which scaffolds the mta.yaml, xs-app.json and zipper configuration this model needs.Vadim Tomnikov, published 2026-05-18

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 Secure SAPUI5 Applications: Best Practices for DevelopersBuilding Secure SAPUI5 Applications: Best Practices for DevelopersA developer-facing rundown of secure coding habits for SAPUI5 apps: typed bindings and custom formatters to reject bad input before it reaches a handler, encodeHTML() instead of rendering untrusted HTML, keeping tokens and URLs out of local and session storage, and CSRF token handling on the ODataModel. It sets up linting with ESLint and an eslint-config-ui5 rule set to catch unsafe DOM access, eval calls and unused imports as part of CI, alongside the same input validation instinct: reject invalid input early rather than trust the backend to catch it.Manisha_19, published 2025-12-10

A ChatGPT-like chat app built with modern SAP technologies (CAP, SAPUI5) – Part 3/3A ChatGPT-like chat app built with modern SAP technologies (CAP, SAPUI5) – Part 3/3The SAPUI5 frontend of the sample, and mostly an argument for writing UI5 in TypeScript: ES imports in place of sap.ui.define, a class with real private members in place of the underscore convention, and the service types generated from the CDS model copied into the UI package, so one IChats interface types the OData object the controller reads. The second half is structure — a formatter class and a singleton LayoutManager called from the XML view through core:require, a confirmation helper taking a callback, a dialog class resolving a promise, a generic createEntity<T> on a service class — all of it to keep every controller under 100 lines. What it says about arranging a UI5 app holds whatever model sits behind the chat; the tooling around it is of its date, and the post calls UI5's TypeScript support experimental.published 2023-02-27

(Part 2 of 3)The middle part of three, and the one about SAP: where TypeScript is supported across a side-by-side extension on BTP, as of July 2023. It says the SAP Cloud SDK already generates OData clients as .ts files and UI5 ships types for its controls and modules, the ground of TypeScript support in UI5, while CAP offers standard types and the new @cap-js/cds-typer generates types for a service, which is typing, with the caveat that running cds-ts commands could overwrite what cds-typer generated.MikeDoyle, published 2023-07-05
UI5 Views, Reimagined: Type-Safe TSX for a Modern Dev ExperienceUI5 Views, Reimagined: Type-Safe TSX for a Modern Dev ExperienceA Devtoberfest 2026 session on @ui5-community/jsx-runtime, the incubation project that lets a UI5 view be written as TSX: XML-like markup that the TypeScript compiler checks against the control's own types and a Babel plugin turns into the constructor calls UI5 already makes. The edge to the runtime rests on the session's own description, which gives the project's documentation site as the session's documentation. The TypeScript support edge holds because that is the session's subject — per-property checking, completion on every attribute, renames that carry through a view, and typed event objects that remove the casts — alongside what stays unchanged: string and expression bindings, controllers, routing and i18n, and XML views living beside TSX ones in the same app. The build edge rests on the setup, where ui5-tooling-transpile is given the JSX transform in ui5.yaml; the walkthrough then builds a bookshop app on a CAP OData service and names what is still missing, UI flexibility and native HTML among it.published 2026-10-09

Four hard limits decide it before taste does — 300 requests per second per subaccount, ten retained versions per application, 100 MB per application and 400 MB for the deployment archive.

UI5 custom control that runs an abap2UI5 app inside a host app
The page and the [abap2UI5](artifact:abap2ui5-abap2ui5) service have to share an origin: an `endpoint` that resolves to another origin is refused, and abap2UI5 rejects a POST whose `Origin` names another host. A host that routes by the URL hash, such as a Fiori elements app or an app with a UI5 router, needs abap2UI5 1.146.0 or later, because 1.145.0 clears the host's hash after every roundtrip.

It also works through the alternative v4.ODataModel change-buffer pattern (updateGroupId, submitBatch) and explains why Fiori elements' annotation-driven, live OData V4 interactions resist offline replay.

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

From SEGW and Legacy UI5 to RAP with ARC-1From SEGW and Legacy UI5 to RAP with ARC-1Three ARC-1 skills, run in Cursor with Composer-2 against a deliberately rough demo on an S/4HANA 2023 trial system, turn the SEGW service ZDEMO_MIG_PROJECTS_SRV into a managed, draft-enabled RAP business object published as OData V4, replace its ApproveProject function import and its direct UPDATE ... COMMIT WORK with the action approve_project written in EML in local mode, and rebuild the freestyle UI5 JavaScript app once in UI5 TypeScript and once as a Fiori elements list report and object page driven by metadata extensions. What the published transcripts add is how the agent got there: it found the generated MPC class names and the custom logic in DPC_EXT only by reading the system, the skills made it print the extracted model and stop for confirmation before writing, and @ui5/mcp-server, mcp-sap-docs and @sap-ux/fiori-mcp-server each had their own job beside it. The demo is small on purpose, and the post says a productive SEGW service that calls BAPIs, carries custom authorisation logic or supports deep inserts is not solved with one prompt.published 2026-05-11

Agentic UI Extensibility: The Next Chapter of SAPUI5 FlexibilityAgentic UI Extensibility: The Next Chapter of SAPUI5 FlexibilityA Devtoberfest 2026 session on SAPUI5 flexibility: a recap of key-user adaptation as deltas that survive an upgrade, then a lab preview in which Joule works through a pasted list of adaptation requests inside the key-user tooling — moving a section, adding one through embedded content, saving and activating a version — and writes a handover prompt when a request is outside what a key user may change. The developer half pastes that prompt into VS Code, where a coding agent generates an adaptation project through MCP tools, picks up the key-user changes already made, reads the base application's metadata and the UI5 documentation, writes the XML fragments and controller extensions for a new table column and a supplier dialogue, and restarts the editor to verify both appear. The agentic parts are unreleased; what the session shows as already available is the adaptation project for Cloud Foundry in VS Code, role-specific adaptation on Cloud Foundry from SAPUI5 1.146, views in variant management loaded when the manage-views dialogue opens rather than at startup, and the redesigned key-user adaptation mode with its change highlighting and version dialogue.SAP Developers, published 2026-10-16
