TRANSCRIPT

[Intro] This is the SAP Developer News for November 20th, 2025.

[Tom] Hey, everybody. Welcome from the TechEd on Tour. We're here in Singapore today for a CodeJam, our second to last stop on the TechEd on Tour. Next week, we'll be in Bangalore for the big TechEd event there. Everybody looking forward to that? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, right now we're here in the SAP offices of Singapore. And if you see behind us, there is Ella, the robotic barista, making Rich a hot chocolate right now. So we're enjoying the comforts of the SAP office and looking forward to seeing everybody in Bangalore next week. So until then, we'll see you there. See you there. Bye. Bye.

[Antonio] Hola, SAP developers. In case you missed it, there is a new CAP plugin in town. the Advanced Event Mesh Plugin. You can leverage this new plugin to easily connect your CAP application with SAP Integration Suite Advanced Event Mesh and start publishing or consuming events. Check out the plugin documentation to find out more about how to set up this plugin. I'm including the links in the description. Happy eventing!

[DJ] The conference season is very much in full swing, keeping us developer advocates busy. From organizing and running Devtoberfest through giving the Developer Keynote and running the Developer Garage at TechEd in Berlin and lots more and now many of the team are playing a major role in the On Tour part of the event with a stop in Sydney one in Melbourne and now as you've seen from an earlier item in this very news episode one in Singapore on their way to Bangalore. Over on this side of the world we have coming up the SAP UK and Ireland user group conference Connect. It's a great event it's happening from Sunday the 30th of November through Tuesday the 2nd of December that's right It's like a family reunion lots of discussions take place learning is shared and friendships are made. I'm very honored to be there, I'm running two sessions a hands-on workshop on modeling with CAP's CDS and also a tech talk on local first development with CAP. If you're attending Connect, come along and say hello in fact come to the sessions - the only thing you need to bring is your curiosity. See you there!

[Mamikee] The latest SAP BTP ABAP Environment release 25.11 is here, and it has been available since November 15th. And it's packed with upgrades across ADT, RAP, Fiori, business configuration, integration, and more. So here's a few highlights you don't want to miss. First, big feature drops across the tooling. In ADT, you now get Ghost Text Keyword Completion as the new default. A new editor for email templates. You can create custom email templates using the Maintain Email Template apps and full business configuration set editing right inside ADT. Plus, macOS users, the graphical call timeline for ABAP traces is now supported. In RAP, you can now log base change documents as business events using the new syntax to READ ENTITY, with changes to inspect change operation and define global side effects that refresh UI properties automatically with a single keystroke. Now, this was only a handful of updates. For the full list of updates, read the blog post in the description below.

[Anja & Michael] Welcome here in Berlin TechEd 2025 on site it's so great we handed over from the Devtoberfest now we're here and a lot of TechEd tour stops will join. I'm very happy to have you here, I know that you joined the Devtoberfest and not just joining you did win the Devtoberfest. It's so amazing so what was your experience what did you like, what was your highlight of that? Devtoberfest was incredible. The opportunity to experience the different areas of SAP and to become exposed to those areas was incredible. Having a focus on web technologies, but being exposed to the other services that I was not exposed to prior was very eye-opening and made me a really deep, deep dive into those areas. So I was able to draw some insights that I could reflect back into my work at my work camp. And that's great and now being here on site being on TechEd so what did you ... was thinking or wishing for and what is your highlight here? Oh I was wishing for more and I got more more than that um it was really incredible because it was non -stop sessions um hands-on road mapping um in so many different areas it was uh morning to evening of of of consuming information that I can take back and be empowered with. So I'm very excited to go back and share what I've learned this week. Thank you so much. Thank you.

Great summary, thanks Birgit!

Just wanted to share that there's a blog post exploring Status-Transition Flows, in case anyone wants to dig in a little more: A simple exploration of Status-Transition Flows in CAP.

Re: The Re-emergence of Community in the SAP Ecosystem

2025-12-14T15:05:53.188000+01:00

Nice post, Chris, and yes, I agree with your observation (also shared by Ben) about the classic "hallway track" and how the interstitial conversations are often the most valuable. I think the catalyst for such ad hoc get-togethers was the length of time it's been since the previous in-person event in Europe; folks were just pulled together by the magnetism of being able to reunite, but then stayed talking to share experiences that they've not been able to do (for whatever reasons) online over the past few years. And face to face always trumps virtual when it comes to talking.

Your comments remind me of the un-conferences I've been to in the past, flavours from which were in the Community Theatre in Berlin, which I'd love to see take an even bigger role and presence next time.

Re: A Wish for CLI-Based ABAP

2026-01-21T10:01:42.709000+01:00

I enjoyed this post, Mattias.

Ironically, when I first started working with SAP software, the code didn't live in the database, nor was it edited in Web browsers. First, the Web didn't exist back then, and second, this was R/2, where the code was S/370 assembler and lived in partitioned datasets, which we accessed via terminal-based facilities such as ISPF, and edited them in there too (typically using a ROSCOE-based editor). While there was a command line, this was in the TSO facility, but we lived in the panel-based ISPF world for most of the working day.

Anyway, I digress. I guess what I wanted to say is that I agree that managing source code as text, and using the power of the shell and command line based tools, is -- at least for me -- the ultimate in developer productivity, efficiency and power. I've long declared "The Future Is Terminal!" as a sort of tongue-in-cheek expression, but there is truth in that declaration too.

My working life has seen the assembler based SAP work, with batch jobs being the prominent method of execution, and JCL being (almost) as important as the assembler-based programs they managed, through the rise of ABAP and the monolith, with the inextricable link between database, code, and data dictionary, editors from TM38 thru SE38, SE80 (and siblings SE24 etc) and Eclipse + ADT, and now the desire to move back to the "dialtone" of text and command line, a dialtone that has persisted for over half a century in the form of Unix, a form that -- like it or not (and I do like it) -- is the very basis of our cloud environments.

Re: Celebrating Open Source: SAP's Role at FOSDEM 2026

2026-02-11T15:07:48.687000+01:00

As a long-time FOSDEM participant over the decades, and of course someone who has been active in both the SAP developer community, this is fantastic to see! Kudos to all involved.

On the link with teaching kids to code, I have been involved in many initiatives in the past, one of which was Young Rewired State, a UK-wide event which SAP sponsored in 2013 (https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aqmacro.org+young+rewired+state).

I'm glad to see the theme -- of equipping the next generation with the skills they need -- continue.

Improving the SAP Community together, one comment at a time

2026-02-17T16:21:05.951000+01:00

As a Developer Advocate, I have the privilege of working with some amazing colleagues in that team, but also in the wider Developer and Community Relations organisation. For the size of the community, it's a small group, and the folks are working hard to keep the wheels on the bus and rolling in the right direction. But they can only do so much. In this post, I want to highlight a challenge for us all, and how we can, again, collectively, tackle it together.

The challenge

I'm talking about content quality, which to a greater or lesser degree has for a long time been a topic of debate both in the questions area and also the blog post area. My relationship with the SAP Community platform goes back to day 1, with SDN.

Actually, it goes back to well before that - creating and running the first online SAP community in 1995, and co-creating the SAP Developer Network has caused me to never stop caring for and worrying about those platforms, the people, and the content.

Blog post quality

The quality of some blog posts on the SAP Community platform could be better. I know it. You know it. We all know it. The number of people like you and me who worry about this sort of thing is far outweighed by the larger number of folks that make up the entire community.

Over time various folks have attempted to help educate folks so that they create better content. Here are some posts from me on this topic:

These attempts have worked, but only to a certain extent. Not only that, but we have AI content generation to contend with too. While used appropriately, and with thought, this approach can produce great results. But it can also produce poor content, especially when the human component in this equation is not entirely engaged with the purpose and process. Moreover, the ease with which poor content can be produced is astounding. And so the problem has got worse over time, and I can only see that progression accelerating.

The SAP Community belongs to us

Like you, seeing blog posts that don't belong makes me sad and frustrated. So, what should we do in this situation?

Report important issues to the moderators

Well, first, there's a decision to be made. Does the blog post break the important parts of the Rules Of Engagement? What are the important parts? Well, a bit of common sense will help. Does it defame, injure or harass? Is the content illegal? Report it to the moderators.

Feel empowered to call other issues out yourself

In other cases, don't report it. Use your voice publicly, by attaching a comment to the post, explaining briefly what you consider inappropriate, or just plain incorrect. Encourage your fellow SAP Community members to upvote your comment if they agree.

Use the power of the collective, the power of the shared heart, to highlight, educate, and yes, if you want to think of it in this way, to shame the author into adjusting or removing the post and changing their ways.

This is how society works. And the SAP Community platform is an online society. So feel empowered to treat it as one. Call the person out. Gently, politely, firmly, however you see fit. You be the judge - we're all adults here. Don't treat it as a kindergarten and go to the teacher whenever you dislike something.

Why? Because the teachers are in short supply. The moderators behind the scenes are working flat out on an ever increasing load of reports. Some that I would definitely class as important, but many, many others that I'd class as trivial and inappropriate.

Celebrate good posts

Calling out bad posts like this is important. Upvoting such call-out comments is also important.

But as well as calling out bad posts, remember to celebrate good ones by adding comments of praise or encouragement. Or just upvote them. That is the least you can do, it only takes a second.

The power of filtering and natural selection

Calling out poor content by leaving a comment helps educate, even gently admonish, if needed. But upvoting and adding multiple positive comments helps even more, not only to highlight good content, but also to feed the filter mechanisms that can surface content that you want to see, controlled in part by you.

Final thoughts

Thanks for reading this far. Here's a TL;DR (yes, I know it should go at the top, but think of it as the call to action instead).

Stop reporting poor quality content, and similar transgressions. Call the authors out yourself. Everyone is a member, and everyone is a moderator. And if we moderate ourselves with respect, honesty and firmness, we just might turn this giant sea-going cargo ship towards a better quality future for the community platform that belongs to all of us.

Thanks as always @Marian_Zeis for your thoughts; it is perfectly fine to disagree - like I said in my post, we are all adults here, and disagreements are often how we learn and grow too. I understand your frustration and giving up the fight is not an unusual path to take, I get it, and the community is bigger than just the content on any given platform - for example, publishing on one's own blog (like you and I do) is a great way to grow oneself and find one's own voice, and grow the community as a whole too.

Beyond encouraging folks to acknowledge good posts, my primary concern is doing something about the avalanche of moderator reports that I think are (a) inappropriate and (b) causing such a load on @AnnePetteroe & the team which means they have no time to do anything else.

Even if some of the community start doing this, it may make a difference. Turning the giant cargo ship is no mean feat, and will take a while. But I think it's worth a try.

Re: Improving the SAP Community together, one comment at a time

2026-02-19T10:03:11.948000+01:00

@Sandra_Rossi I feel your frustration. Self-moderation by the community is not an exact science. And I'm afraid situations similar to this will become more common. AI generation is the perfect storm, being a tool that can be massively useful, but massively easy to abuse, and, given the FUD that is being perpetrated by everyone and their dog, is one that also naturally divides opinion and is the cause of much passion, positive and negative.

Re: Improving the SAP Community together, one comment at a time

2026-02-20T12:51:56.086000+01:00

@gyoung thanks for a great comment. I do take issue with your phrasing "relying on their customers (?) to support internal moderating capacity". The SAP community has always been about, for, and owned by the community. Not customers specifically. Not partners. Not any group in particular. And a community of this scale, like other communities, must almost by definition be based on collective efforts.

I do salute you for the well structured and well thought out content of your comment, unfortunately the people like you and the rest of the folks involved in the comments to this post, people who care, are in the minority - or so it seems to me (as always, and as stated in my bio online (such as at https://www.linkedin.com/in/djadams/), opinions online like this are all my own).

I think trying to curate accurate content here on this platform for LLMs is an impossible task. The problem is far bigger than any given platform, and the platforms themselves, and even the communities that exist on the platforms, cannot be tasked with solving that problem.

Re: Improving the SAP Community together, one comment at a time

2026-02-20T12:58:03.345000+01:00

@Marian and @Sandra_Rossi I hear you. Believe me, I hear you. There is no easy solution, that is for sure. I cannot force anyone to do anything, and I would completely understand you stepping away from the platform, or at least from throwing in the towel with respect to trying to make this a better place.

As @AnnePetteroe says, there is a lot of discussion internally about this; I am not part of it to any large degree (yet?) but perhaps that will change.

All I can say is - it's not over until it's over.

[Mamikee]
Hey everyone, we're kicking off this year's SAP Developer Challenge with a topic that's very close to home, ABAP. With AI dominating conversations across the tech world, we thought this month would be the perfect time for our community to explore Joule for Developers. SAP Joule for Developers brings embedded AI capabilities to SAP Build and ABAP, helping you accelerate app and extension development, reduce development costs, and boost overall developer productivity. Now, for this challenge, we'll be using the basic trial offering for SAP Build, which includes an SAP BTP ABAP environment with Joule for Developers. Here's how it will work. So in week one, we'll focus on setting up your ABAP instance from the basic trial in ADT and start exploring some of Joule' key capabilities as the weeks go on. The challenge will run for four weeks starting Monday, March 2nd and ending March 23rd. But don't worry, we'll keep submissions open until the end of the month for anyone running a little behind. Now, to count toward the overall monthly challenge, make sure you complete and submit each week's task. Week 1 drops on the SAP Community on Monday, March 2nd, so get ready, and we can't wait to see what you build.

At the recent SAP Now AI event I attended, most of our customers showcased their AI implementations using the Retrieval Augmented Generation, or RAG, approach. RAG grounds generative AI applications in private business data, delivering accurate and trustworthy responses. SAP Business Technology Platform supports three RAG patterns, as outlined by my friend Lyuba Nakryyko from the BTP Center of Excellence. First, custom RAG with SAP HANA Cloud Vector Engine. Best suited for structured text, such as product descriptions or service notes. This method converts data into semantic embeddings within SAP HANA Cloud, enabling context-aware responses from large language models. Second, Knowledge Graph Engine in SAP HANA Cloud is optimized for structured data with complex relationships, such as supply chains or bills of materials. It maps entities and their relationships, translates queries into precise data retrieval operations, and feeds relevant facts to the language model. Third, Managed Document Grounding, a turnkey solution for document-based Q&A, for example on PDFs, in SAP AI Core. It automates document processing and retrieval, integrating smoothly with SAP Joule or Generative AI Hub for rapid deployment. Each pattern caters to different data types and structured text, structured relationships, or document repositories, enabling you to choose the approach that best fits your business and technical needs. Lyuba's article on SAP Community is linked in the description. Also in the description, you will find a link to SAP CodeJam topics, which explore hands-on opportunities covering these different approaches in SAP Business Technology Platform. The closest SAP CodeJam events will be held in Brazil in April, and sign -ups are already open. Sim, amigos. Estamos a caminho. Até logo.

Hey, folks. Rich Heilman here. Long time. No see. I had to bribe Sheena and Shilpa this week to allow me to do the news piece, so here goes. That's right, folks, it's that time again. SAP BTP ABAP Environment 2602 has been released with more ABAP goodness for all of our ABAP developers out there. Nora Klemp from ABAP Product Management has posted a blog post outlining all of the new features. Some notable new features include Collaborative Draft, which allows developers to create applications which leverage draft capabilities across business objects. Recommendations is another cool feature that enhances the dropdown list or value helps with recommendations on what the value could or should be based on context and some AI magic. Lots of other new features as well, including a new My Home Page as the landing page for ABAP systems, which will have additional features added in over time. For more information on all this ABAP good stuff, please check out the link to Nora's blog post and get all the details today. See you next time, friends. Bye for now.

Hola, SAP Developers. As usual, many things happening in the integration space. And I just want to share with you some of the highlights in case you missed them. In Cloud Integration, there are many new adapters. Microsoft Outlook, Zendesk Receiver Adapter, Bamboo HR Receiver Adapter. There's also a new version of the Shopify Adapter that supports OAuth 2 client credentials. Related to Groovy Scripts, you can now upload Groovy Script 1.x and 2.0 in the Script Collection artifact and in the integration flow. When you optimize Groovy scripts with AI, you can now get a review report and download the original script. In API Management, we can now discover and publish events from Advanced Event Mesh in Developer Hub. I'm including the relevant links in the description, so make sure to check them out. Hasta luego!

[DJ]
It's always worth keeping an eye on the What's New for SAP Business Technology Platform facility on the SAP Help Portal for upcoming features and releases. Something that will likely be of particular interest for us all is the very recent general availability of the SAP Audit Log Viewer for SAP BTP in the cockpit. It's available for audit logs at the global account, so you can look at entitlements and assignments made, for example, And also, you can look at the creation and deletion of subaccounts. And talking of subaccounts, it's also available for all subaccounts too. You don't need any entitlement or subscription to the corresponding service to use it. Check out the documentation. Links in the description.

[Shilpa]
Did you know you can search the CDS View entity by the annotations used? Choose the annotation. Now, this is the annotation indicating extensibility enabled. Choose Get Various List from the context. Choose the required object types, apply filter to restrict the search. Use control space to get the options. And click Finish. The Various List is opened in the search view and displays the search result as a list. Similarly, you can also choose the value of annotation and repeat the same. Here I have selected the authorization check annotation with value as check. So these are the CDS views which has the authorization marked as required. Not just the annotation, you can also search the usage of view entity in the similar way. Choose the view entity and select get where used list. Now this result gives the list of CDS view entity where it has been used.

Hey folks, it's Rich Heilman and Witalij here in Las Vegas for SAP Insider
2026. Today we did a two-hour hands-on session on Joule Studio, which was good.
Lots of good questions and tomorrow we're going to repeat that and we're going
to do a Joule for Developers in SAP Build and a Joule for Developers ABAP
edition as well where we'll show everyone how to use Joule to speed up their
development process. And you did a hands-on session this morning. Yes and I did
a session on how to use SAP HANA Cloud Vector Engine Capabilities to build the
Joule augmented generation. Lots of people are talking about agents right now
but a lot of customers are doing RAG based AI applications so it was good to
refresh this content and as well to mention that we still keep investing in
some of the capabilities in SAP HANA Cloud Vector Engine like for example the
very recent new encoder model. Cool very cool yeah so we got a couple more
hands-on sessions and I think we're gonna get out here and get on to the next
one. So, bye for now.

Hola, SAP developers. There is a new edition available for SAP Integration
Suite, which includes lots of goodies. This is the new Enhanced Edition. From
an AI perspective, it includes features that were only previously available in
the Premium Edition. For example, iFlow generation using natural language,
script optimization to analyze, refactor, and optimize Groovy or JavaScript
scripts, API anomaly detection, and API traffic prediction to help you manage
your APIs. Apart from that, you also get access to the entire suite of
integration capabilities, an advanced event mesh broker for your event-driven
architecture scenarios, SAP Document AI to turn unstructured data into
structured data, the alert notification service for monitoring, transport
management service to move artifacts across landscapes without manual exports.
So, lots of stuff. Make sure to check out Tricia's blog post on SAP Community
to get all the details. Hasta luego. Hello, everyone.

The February release of Capire documentation (*CAP) is out. First, we have an
exciting update. Live queries in the documentation. Yes, you have heard that
right. You can now run CDS queries directly in your browser. You can view the
query results along with the corresponding SQL statements. You can also edit
the query by typing in the box, making it your own personal playground to
experiment with, and no setups required. Coming to Node.js updates. Parallel
GET calls are now supported in the OData $batch request. For draft-enabled
entities, calculated elements can now be reliably used for values display in
the UI or for information in the UI behavior. Starting with @cap-js/sqlite
version Node.js SQL implementation by setting cds.requires.db.driver to node.
Coming to Java updates, important changes include using a reference as a value
for substring prefix or suffix in the contains startsWith or endsWith functions
is now rejected. Performance improvements have been made for requests related
to Fiori Draft list report "All" filter, deletion of inactive drafts during the
draft activation, and hierarchical selects. Tooling updates includes a new
query mode in cds REPL is available via the .ql command. CAP now supports
version 10 of ESLint. And for the Cloud Foundry, cds up can now be adjusted
using MTA extensions. For more details, visit the Capire documentation. Links
will be included in the description.

If you use the SAP Business Technology Platform, and more specifically, if
you're using the btp CLI or the Terraform providers to help you manage your
resources there, then your feedback is sought. The team has a couple of
feedback surveys open right now, running through April as well, so it's still a
little bit of time. One feedback survey for the btp CLI and the other for the
Terraform providers. This is a great opportunity for you to provide your
opinions and share with the team how you're using the tools and also where you
see room for improvement. Links to both surveys, which, as I mentioned, are
running sort of through April, are in the description. After this news episode
finishes, why not grab a coffee and head over and give your opinion right now.
Thanks.

Did you know that you can configure an AI orchestration flow in AI Launchpad
and use it to configure the orchestration client from the SAP Cloud SDK for AI
within a CAP project? It allows you to configure templating, content filtering,
data masking, grounding, and more. You can download the configuration and read
it from file into your orchestration client or directly paste the JSON string
from AI Launchpad into your project. At any point, you can upload the
configuration back to AI Launchpad to make changes or directly change the
config inline of your project.

Hey, friends. Rich Heilman here, and I'm joined by Thomas Young behind the camera. And we're here in Sao Paulo, Brazil at the SAP offices, and we're doing an SAP CodJam today on Joule for Developers, ABAP Developers, having a lot of fun getting through the exercises. Once we go back, I'll show them some more fun stuff. And yeah, it's been a great time so far. And here's the rest of my friends from Brazil. What's up folks! There you are in the second part of the CodeJam Roadshow here in Brazil and Ale talks a little more. So, yesterday and today we are in São Paulo and tomorrow we will be in Londrina, Paraná. And in the coming days as well ... This Friday we're going to have two simultaneous events, one in Curitiba and the other in Ribeirão Preto. And after that, we will meet on Saturday in Campinas for the SAP Inside Track. Come join us.

[Tom]
Friend of the show, Oliver Graeff, recently posted about an upcoming free webinar called The Art and Science of SAPUI5 in SAP Build. This webinar on April the 15th, which we've offered twice that day to accommodate more time zones, We'll cover information about how to develop SAPUI5, Fiori, and all things UI inside the SAP Build environment. So if you're interested, check out the registration information and all the other details in the show notes. And while we're on the subject of user interfaces, Oliver also posted about recent updates to the UI5 and Fiori Roadmap Explorer. So what a better way to prepare for the upcoming webinar than to check out all the latest that's been published in the Roadmap Explorer.

[DJ]
We just wanted to let you know that there's a recent new series an expert session series over on the SAP Developers YouTube channel the topic is CAP Node.js and we have special guest Daniel Schlachter from the CAP enablement team there are three episodes so far you can watch the replays of those and subscribe to get notifications for the upcoming episodes in this series. See you online Fridays at the usual time in the chat for these expert session Premieres.

[Nora]
Did you know that you can use Generative AI Hub on SAP AI Core to build state-of-the-art AI agents with LangGraph? Now the cool thing is that AI Foundation has a lot of integrations with langchain. Now I'm going to show you how that works using the Python SDK. So up here you can see that I'm using the create_react_agent which is a pre-built AI agent from LangGraph and instead of using LangGraph to initialize the models as well, I'm going to use the Gen AI Hub SDK to initialize a model in a way that the LangGraph agent is going to understand it. So now over here you can see that I am here initializing my model. You can use any of the over 40 models that we have available in Generative AI Hub to power your agent here. So this is going to be your agent's brain, right? And then down here, when I actually initialize the actual create_react_agent from LangGraph, I'm going to hand over the LLM that I just initialized using Generative AI Hub. And then you can hand over any tools that you like. So here I'm, for example, using Playwright browser tools so that my agent can access the browser. But you can really use any tools you want and add them to your LangGraph agent here and try it out.

🇵🇱 Hands-on with CAP CDS

2026-04-15T15:44:47.976000+02:00

This CodeJam gives you a thorough grounding in CAP CDS modelling.

In this hands-on workshop you'll become familiar and comfortable with the key features of CDS modelling, primarily focusing on the Conceptual Definition Language (CDL), the predominantly declarative domain-specific language (DSL) in the CDS family. You'll explore the different concepts that make CAP such a compelling framework for today's world of AI, where concision, correctness and the imperative to write less code is at the forefront of everyone's mind.

No prior experience is required, and this workshop is suitable for non-developers as well as developers. All you need is curiosity and a desire to learn!

This is an in-person event only (not virtual) and is on Thu 21 May 2026 in Kraków, PL, kindly hosted (including lunch & refreshments) by GE HealthCare, thank you very much! (See below for specific arrival instructions).

⚠️Note that capacity for this CodeJam is 30 people, so please ensure you use the RSVP links on this page accordingly.

The instructor is Developer Advocate DJ Adams.

There are essential prerequisites that must be completed by every attendee, before arriving at the event location.

Specific arrival instructions: After entering the building, please sign in with your name at the journal. Then turn right and proceed to the 2nd floor, where reception will issue your guest badge."

[INTRO]
This is the SAP Developer News for April the 16th, 2026.

[DJ]
If you're in the Silicon Valley area in June and are interested in the intersection between AI and UX, then there's an event just for you. It's on the 11th of June at the SAP AppHaus in Palo Alto, and it's an in-person event only. It's for developers, architects, and technical consultants, and it's all about the AI functionality being built into the SAP Fiori elements framework. There's AI for business users and AI for application developers. The event page has an agenda for the day, which is currently tentative, but it gives us a good idea of the format and content. There's also a link on there for registration. Anyway, check it out. Link in the description.

[Mamikee]
We have an important update for SAP BTP ABAP environment users. We're offering a free pre-upgrade option for release 2605, giving customers and partners the chance to test their existing applications ahead of the standard upgrade, which is planned for May 16th and 17th. Now some of the key milestones have already passed. Planned new features were announced on April April 13th, and pre-upgraded systems are scheduled for upgrade on April 17th, which means teams already participating should now be focused on regression testing and validating their custom-built apps. Now, looking ahead, Hot Fix Collection 2 is planned for April 30th, and any issues found during testing should be reported by May 1st using component BC-CP-ABA. Now, the goal is simple. help make the upgrade a no-event and avoid day one surprises. You can read more in the link below.

[DJ]
Fiori elements based UIs are great, but sometimes it's hard for us to grok how they can be controlled and configured, which is mostly through annotations, which are organized in vocabularies, expressed in metadata, which is usually in the form of XML. So any help is welcome. And in that context, we wanted to point you to a great blog post by SAP community member Mio Yasutake, who takes time to explain these topics in great detail, how things fit together based upon samples and documentation for UI5 and in the context of CAP and RAP-based services. There's lots of detail and it's well worth a read. Thanks Mio! Also if you want more detail to complement this then we have the OData deep dive mission over on the tutorial navigator and in there there are specific tutorials on metadata vocabularies and annotations ready to go as well. Happy learning!

[Antonio]
Hola, SAP Developers! Two quick updates for Edge Integration Cell and Cloud Integration users. First, the local OData APIs for Edge Integration Cell just got better. You can now authenticate using Client ID and Client Secret. More secure, easy to automate. Now, a quick reminder that there are many APIs in Edge Integration Cell that you can use. Monitoring APIs, for example, to track message processing. and management APIs for message stores, data stores, JMS brokers, and variables. These are perfect for building custom dashboards or for automating operations or integrating with your existing monitoring tools. Now, in Cloud Integration, we have AI-assisted error resolution. When your integration flow fails, you can now use AI to analyze the error, get root cause suggestions, and even get remediation steps. So it's like having an integration buddy next to you. which can save time debugging and gets you back on track faster. So check the links in the description for full documentation on both features. ¡Hasta luego!

[Nora]
Did you know that you can compare foundation models right in AI Launchpad? So just jump over to Generative AI Hub in your AI Launchpad and open the model library. And then here you can click on Leaderboard. And now you see all the models that we have available here. and over here you can see the different scores so the HELM score for example tells you how well the model performed in a multiple choice exam across a variety of topics the chatbot arena score tells you how well the model performed in a head-to -head against different AI models and then the AIRBench refusal rate and the AIRBench discrimination bias refusal rate tells you how well the model is handling harmful or biased requests and then all the way over here you have the output and input token cost and the context window size. Now this really helped me to find the right model for my use case depending on cost and context window size and performance overall. I honestly usually don't go to the leaderboard, I head directly to the chart because here you can very easily compare the models.
