[Intro] This is the SAP Developer News for December 26th, 2024.

[Tom] 2024 has been another stellar year for the SAP developer community. And we're so fortunate to have this wonderful community and to be able to bring you all the content that we do. Looking back of the year, we see major achievements on the product side for developers in the form of new AI code generation tools. That's going to continue to enhance developers' lives by allowing us to focus more on the things that we love doing and really improve our productivity. On the in-person events side, we continue to see great in-person experiences return to the community. We had the tech ed on tours, the idea of bringing a tech-ed experience to more locations. And we already have the announcement for 2025 of a TechEd in-in-person experience in Europe. It's going to be in Berlin, but at the same time we're going to still offer the free tech ed virtual online experience and we're going to have tech in on tour locations. One of them's already been announced in the form of ASUG Tech Connect will take place the same week as TechEd Berlin. There's going to be more locations announced in 2025 as well to be on the lookout for that.

I want to give a big shout out to our team, the development. Advocator advocates. They do so much hard work that you see and tons behind the scenes to bring you activities like Devtoberfest, all the hard work on TechEd, CodeJams, the monthly developer challenges, and of course all the content that we produce here on the SAP Developers YouTube channel. All that's going to continue in 2025 and we have some great new ideas that we can't wait to bring you around new experiences for developer challenges, bring CodeJams to more locations that we haven't been to in recent years. I can't wait to get back out there and see some of these, some of these places and communities that we haven't had a chance to interact with in person. And of course, we're already starting work on Devtoberfest for 2025. And we'll continue to enhance that experience that so many of you enjoy through, enjoy, and have given us great feedback on. So whatever you celebrate this time of year, the New Year, the New Year, the New Year's, whatever other holidays, I wish you well, have good times with your family, and we can't wait for a very exciting 2025.

[Nora] Hi there. This is actually the second review I'm recording right now because the first one was so long because there was so much that happened this year. But I can't really post 10 minutes of review alone because the other developer advocates also want to say something. So I'm going to try this a little bit shorter. And I mean, you all know I can speak fast, so I'm going to speak fast. try really hard to speak as fast as possible and not faster than necessary. First of all, we have a lot of new content which we gathered throughout the year on the SAP Developers YouTube channel, especially in the SAP AI playlist. Obviously also in all the other playlists, but I want to highlight the AI one because I'm proud of all the new content we have there. So check that out if you're interested in AI at SAP.

Then I was extremely excited to meet a lot of you first online because of the developer challenge. and May on AI. And then in person, I finally got to travel again this year, which was awesome. The first two events actually had to do with my baby. So I took my baby to Las Vegas to the SAP Insider event. First of all, a huge thank you to my manager and also to the SAP Insider hosts because they were extremely accommodating and just awesome with me having my baby along. He was just, I think, the youngest participant SAP Insider has ever seen. And he was very well-perceived. And he also did a very great job. He was super cute and just went along with everything and that was really, really nice. And then I took him to Barcelona as well. And then the first event I got to do without him was actually Sapphire. So I'm super happy that I got to meet so many of you in person. I got to meet the Devtoberfest winner, the Devtoberfest winners from last year. And ASUG TechConnect, which was awesome. I have never met like so many people from the community.

Then we also created a new Generative AI Code Jam. So make sure to check out all the CodeJam topics and see if there's anything that you like. We already started planning new CodeJams for next year. And I just love meeting you, especially at CodeJams, because it gives us so much more time to talk about all the new topics and everything. And we also had the AI day again during Devtoberfest, obviously, with a lot of cool sessions there, where we especially covered all the new features that are available, like the HANA Knowledge Graph Engine or in the orchestration service of Generative AI Hub, which I'm very excited about and all the new models that are available. There are so many Large Language models that we offer via the Generative AI Hub on SAP AI Core and you should definitely check it out. I'm super grateful for this year and how everything worked out. It was a lot of fun to meet you all and to just be able to join so many hands-on sessions this year. I think at the ASUG TechConnect we had like 90 people in our hands-on sessions, which was just awesome. And I also enjoyed all the other TechEd on tour stops. And obviously, TechEd Virtual was great to host the community to be part of the developer keynote. Yeah, so I'm very excited for next year as well. And Nico and I are planning something great, so stay tuned. And I hope I see you at some of the co -champs or TechEd and Tour Stops next year.

[DJ] So we're coming to the end of year, which means an opportunity to look back over that year. So from a personal perspective, that's another year for me living on. and working from this narrowboat home. I've seen a lot of canals, covered a lot of miles over the last 12 months, and now I'm in this lovely Marina for my traditional three -month state over winter. From a work perspective, being on a global team but home-based means the ultimate combination of focus, collaboration and flexibility. Even when the team has been spread out around the world, for most of the time, we've remained really close and had some great collaboration. When we have had opportunities to work together in person at various events throughout the year, I've always been proud to stand shoulder to shoulder to shoulder with each and every one of my colleagues. We've worked on some great stuff, some new topics, but also the traditional usual suspects such as developer challenges, CodeJams, the developer keynote, of course, and who could forget, the world-famous, Devtoberfest.

And with this year's foray into the new TechEd on tour, we've had more opportunity to work together in various places around the world, to deliver hands-on-tour, we've had more and run the developer garage for folks at everyone to try out tutorials. And talking of everyone, that's you, by the way, one of the favorite things for me this year has been to see you all join, rejoin and participate in our live streams that we run throughout the year.

And talking, of course, about the hands-on SAP dev show, where we have many different series, different topics and so on, but the core, what remains throughout the consistent, fantastic aspect of these series is you, the chat, the opinions, the questions, the conversations that you have with me, but also have with each other and the fact that you keep coming back time and time again, engaging your curiosity and, along with me, learning by doing. That's what we do on that show, right? So in summary, for me, I've been very lucky. It's been a great year. And one of the things that I'm looking forward to the most, to be honest, it sounds a little bit boring, but there we go. That's just me. I'm looking forward to essentially more of the same. Running more live streams, learning more stuff with you. online, together, live. So, I wish you happy holidays and look forward to seeing you online at a YouTube session near you soon. Bye for now. Cheers, DJ.

[Witalij] For many reasons, 2024 will always stand out as a memorable year for me. It was the year many transitions from talking. the talk to walking the walk in the relation of AI. The growing popularity of artificial intelligence fueled interest in machine learning, now often referred as a narrow AI. This year, I traveled across Europe to present getting started with machine learning using SAP HANA at 14 CodeJams. The topic resonated so well that we already have requests for 2025. Next year, I'll introduce a new topic for the CodeJam series called Leverage the vector engine and knowledge graph capabilities of SAP HANA Cloud in AI applications. In June, the developer challenge online explored SAP HANA's Multimodal capabilities, particularly its vector engine already. So stay tuned for more updates.

Our team also supported the SSAP TechEd program. A highlight for me was the developer keynote where I presented augmented reality, showcasing the potential of emerging technologies. Additionally, I joined the SAP TechEd on tour, collaborating with SAP user groups across the Americas, the UK and Ireland, strengthening the connections through in-person learning. For those unable to meet in person, I hope you joined Met Thursdays during Devtoberfest, where Nora and I focused on ML, AI, and data or med. Meeting people face-to-face was especially rewarding. After a four-year break, we brought. brought SAP inside tribe back to Vrozov, with nearly 100 participants, including guests from Turkey and Germany. I also presented at SID in Vilnius, Munich, Porto, as well as some smaller SAP meetups in Poland, including Katowice, Wooch, Gdaunzny. As 2024 comes to a close, I'd like to wish you calm and restful end of the year. May 2025 bring peace. And remember, Astrobu de Dali, Zalegli, Zalj, or what comes next is up to you.

[Nico] Hi everyone and welcome to the SAP Developer News. 2024 is almost over and I would like to take this opportunity to look back at some of the highlights for this year. So my personal highlight was definitely Code Connect earlier in the summer, including UI5Con and REcap. It was great to meet many of the developers out there in the community, talk to them, get feedback on our work as SAP developer advocates as well as on the SAP technologies in general. Another big highlight definitely was SAP TechEd Virtual because I got to meet the whole team in person which usually only happens once a year and it was great fun to work on the demos, work on the keynotes and also to just chat on the side and just get together as a team. Another highlight are always the CodeJams. It's just great to be on the road and meet many of you out there in the community. and talk about SAP tech, and we plan to do many more next year. And speaking of next year, we have big plans and we can't wait to get it started. But first, wish you a happy holiday season and have fun. See you next time. Bye-bye.

[Shrini] I'm at SAP Insight Track in Bangalore, and this is one of the last events for me this year. This year, I was part of 16 billion cap coat gems. at various locations in India along with my colleague, Rekha and Ajay, including a build and cap code jam at Tbilisi, Georgia, where I met Daniel for the first time. Among the various first this year, like the first build developer challenge, first SIT session, first Devtoberfest session, first virtual ticket on Heildelberg, Germany. It was a year to remember. I hope it was a great year for you as well and looking forward to what 2025? has in store for us. I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

[Rekha] Hello everybody. As we approach the end of year 24, I am delighted to present you with my year and review. From the month of Jan till August, I conducted eight SAP Build CodeJams across wonderful Indian cities like Bangalore, Pune, Mumbai, Mumbai, Kolkata and Ahmedabad. Seven with my colleague. Shrinvarsan won with Sheena. It was a great opportunity to meet and share SAP build knowledge with customers and partners and also learn from them about their businesses. In July, SAP Insight Track, SIT was held at SAP Labs Bangalore. I presented a session on AI Chatbot with SAP Build apps with Shrinivasan and it was well received. I also conducted developer challenge on SAP BUILD Apps organized Devtoberfest 2024 contest where I learned about all the latest products and features of SAP, BTP and also presented a session. During September, I traveled to Heidelberg, Germany for SAP TechEd virtual event and met the entire Developer Advocacy team members. It was a pleasant get-together. Towards the end of October, I and my colleague Daniel conducted to SAP Build one in Austria, one more in Switzerland. I met Daniel for the first time and it was a pleasant experience conducting CodeJams together. Mid of November, I traveled to Copenhagen Denmark for TechEd on tour SAP Insider event. I was hosting SAP Developer Garage with colleagues DJ Antonio, Kevin where I had some interesting conversations with colleagues and customers in order to understand how SAP is helping them in their daily businesses. I must say that 2024 was a fun-filled year with enriching experiences and I'm super excited for the new year 2025. I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a prosperous new year. Thank you.

[Shilpa] Hello everyone! Shilpa Shankar here I'm doing a walk-and-talk inspired by DJ and Josh from the lovely SAP campus in Bangalore It's that time of the year where we reflect on what a fantastic 2024 was. For me, three things stands out. Firstly, SAP CodeJam. The team in India delivered 26 CodeJams in covering in almost all the major cities in India. This is truly phenomenal for the team which has started a year bag. Thanks to you, the SAP Community and an amazing host in making this happen. Secondly, the ABAP Developer Challenge in the month of August on topic of ABAP. Thank you to SAP community, we got over 600 replies in the 4-week challenge. For me, personally, this was the best way to interact with you guys. Lastly, SAP TechEd. It's truly a celebration for us where we get to meet most of all the team members like an annual get-together. We had developer keynote deconstructed where some cool stuff was shown. In all of these, one thing is common. ABAP. I love ABAP. Don't we all? So with this, happy holidays and let us make 2025 an even better fantastic year. Take care.

Transcription

[Intro] This is the SAP Developer News for January 2, 2025. Happy New Year!

[Antonio] Hello, SAP Developers! 2024 was a very exciting year in the integration space. Proof of that is that there have been a total of 282 updates in SAP Integration Suite this year alone. There are two new capabilities, the Dataspace and EventMesh capabilities. The integration architecture guide was recently updated. Edge Integration Cell is now supported in more platforms. for example GKE and Red Hat OpenShift. API Business Hub is now known as the developer hub. In cloud integration, we now have design guidelines checks in iFloos. The pipeline lab concept was introduced and it has significantly evolved. Lots of new adapters available for SAP cloud integration and the migration tooling is now pattern -based instead of template base. In the event-driven space, EventMesh is now part of the SAP integration suite. The SAP Event Broker is now known as SAP Cloud Application Event Hub and we can configure their connectivity with cloud integration. We can now leverage the SAP Application Interface framework to send events to advance event mesh and many more updates.

Personally, I had the opportunity to meet many SAP developers, customers and partners at different in-person events, be it as part of our CodeJams, networking events, SAP Inside Tracks, or Take It On Tour. Definitely the highlight for me there was the CodeJam road show we did with Josh in Latin America. Seuro, organized another in 2025. Virtually, interacting with many via the SAP community. I hosted a Code Challenge focusing on cloud events. I did a few live streams, but not as many as I would like. Also, being part of SAP TechEd Virtual, and also, organizing the Devtoberfest 2024 integration track. Last, presentedly, not least, I got to work on a unique project, which was publishing an SAP Press eBite, focusing on developing event -driven integrations with SAPBTP, published on the 14th of November. What can I say? It was an eventful year, but I'm already looking forward to 2025 and sharing some of the new cool projects we're working on. Ciao.

[Josh] Hey everybody. It's Mr. Bluebeard, Josh Bentley, and I wanted to reach out to you at the end of this holiday season to say, I am not traveling right now. I did a lot of traveling this year, and I was super appreciative of it. And that's really the highlight of what I wanted to say while I'm actually making my bathroom a proper color, blue. So see what's going on there? And we're going to tile the bottom. So it's going to look nice when it's done. That's what I'm doing at the end of the year. Taking a few days off, relaxing, recharging, and reflecting. So the 3Rs, Recharging, Reflecting. I just made that up. I basically am going to sit here and paint, and when I get a little frustrated to have a project's going, I'm going to remember how lucky I am to get to be a developer advocate for SAP, talk about thing like SAP build, and when I'm not building tile or building something in my house, I'm building apps. And I got to do that with Antonio in Latin America, my first time down there. So we got to go to great four different Code Jam locations. We did eight co-GEMs down there and a few stomptish. And then I got to go to Europe, of course, to do tech ed. And then we did Tech Ed on tour in Florida and then jump down to Australia. Also my first time down there. So amazing time getting to be a part of this SAP community. And what's really cool is that I don't care really where the geography is, where it is in the northern hemisphere, the southern, eastern, west. It doesn't matter because it's all about the people. It's about you guys. I got pain on my fingers. It's about you guys, the SAP community. And it doesn't matter where we are, as long as we're together and we're interacting and I can talk to you about code. You can talk to me about code or just what's going on in your life. It's really nice to be a part of this community. So I'm now going to spend the next four hours naming each and every one of you. I've met this. No, just kidding. This is a short two-minute video. I'm going to get back to working here in the house and take off a lot of days the rest of the year. I hope you all have a great holiday season. And I can't wait to see you next year. Bye.

[Sheena] Hello everyone. As 2024 comes to a close, I want to celebrate some of the major milestones I achieved this year. My journey as a developer advocate in 2024 was very exciting. I kicked off the year with an ABAP Cloud CodeJam in Mumbai, followed by several code jams across India alongside my colleague, Shilpa. This year brought me closer to the community through several events like SAP Insight Track, the Abab Developer Challenge, the SAP TechByte series and Devtoberfest. In SAPPTICPi series, we have covered all that you need to know about ABAP data services. In September, September, I had the privilege of organizing the ABAP track for one of the most awaited events, Devtoberfest. It featured many great sessions led by the experts and the response from the community was truly overwhelming. Then in October, I traveled to the beautiful city of Heidelberg, Germany, to participate in my first SAP TechEd virtual event. I got the opportunity. to present a developer keynote session together with my amazing colleagues, Shilpa, Rich and Ritali. It was also a fantastic experience to meet my colleagues from around the globe. I hope your 2024 was equally exciting and let us look forward for even more exciting activities in 2025. Till then, wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

[Michelle] 24 was such a great year as I got to do so many incredible things. and meet incredible people while doing it. I got to go to my childhood dream country of Australia, not just once, but twice, to present and meet all the folks attending the mastering SAP event in April and at the SAUGX conference after TechEd. Everyone there was so friendly and excited about SAP that I would gladly fly the 22 hours it takes to get there every opportunity. I was even able to turn one of those into a two-week vacation to explore beautiful Australia and I got to snorkel at the Great Barrier Reef, which was awesome. I also got to hang out with the amazingly talented and knowledgeable Devtoberfest 2023 winners at the ASUG Tech Connect event in Florida and at Disney World. It was all part of their reward for reaching Nirvana in Devtoberfest last year, and I'm grateful to be such a big part of it. It was so fun to be able to sit down and get to know these folks over a few days and chat all about SAP technologies. It was also fun to go on a roller coaster at Disney, which was not a work perk I ever expected to have. Finally, I being able to have. terrified of heights, was able to jump out of a plane because one of my insanely brave go -workers does it as a hobby. I got to ask him a million questions about it, including if they could push me out of the plane, which didn't end up being a problem because I had the tallest instructor as my tandem buddy, so my feet weren't even touching the plane when we got out.

[Ajay] This year, as an SAP developer advocate was wonderful for me, and these are just a few of the highlights. I got to travel the world, present, and meet wonderful members of our community. I know next year is going to have even more in -person events and I can't wait to meet everyone there and present on topics I'm so passionate about. Happy Holidays, Happy New Year, and as always, happy coding. Hello everyone, Season's greetings. As we approach the new year, let's reflect on the past year. I had the privilege of meeting many of our SAP developer community members during 10 in-person code jam sessions across Kolkata, Kohamvatur, Hyderabad and Bengaluru. I am very grateful to ask for CodeJam hosts for making this in-person event possible. We look forward to reaching more regions and developers next year. I had a person of meeting some of you at SAP Inside Track events where I also presented a session on SAP Cloud Application Programming Model. Later in September and October, we were focused on organizing SAP Devtoberfest event and virtual SAP TechEd. A big thank you to all our Devtoberfest presenters and participants for making it a resounding success. Many of you personally expressed your appreciation for the format and accessibility of Devtoberfest sessions. We hope to make it even better next year. Finally, I got to meet SAP community members and developers at SAUG-X TechEd on tour in Melbourne. It was pleasure to connect with so many of you at Developer Garage, hands-on sessions and mini stamp dish in Australia. Wishing you all, Merry Christmas and a very happy end to the year. and looking forward to seeing you soon next year.

[Kevin] We're in the last months of the year, which to me is always a beautiful time of quietness, learning and reflection. I'm trying to take the time to look back on the year. My son turned one and he learned to speak and I visited my dad in Grandmont, California. But there were a lot of great moments at work as well. For me, what stood out the most was Devtoberfest in Recap. Both events gave me the chance to connect and interact with our development community, the most and I also saw all my colleagues again. I had a great discussion with smart developers and even found some new friends. With SAP's AI portfolio growing rapidly, I've decided to create a brand new CodeJam covering the AI service development with CAP and SAP Charter to the AI Hub, which to me is not only interesting, but also gives you a great opportunity to learn this great new technology. I'm excited to see what the new year brings and I hope I'll see you on one of my co-jams. I wish you all so quiet times, time with family and friends, time to reflect and be mindful. See you all in 2025.

[Rich] Hey folks, Rich I'm in here and I have my best little boy, Sully, and my best little girl, Sage, here with me as well. And of course, my beautiful wife, Shauna behind the camera. Thanks, baby. I just wanted to take a couple minutes and reflect on 2024 and share some of the highlights. from the year. The developer advocates team had a really great year, and we really do appreciate your support, so thank you for that. Some highlights for me. We, of course, did the Code Jam Roadshow through Europe with Thomas, starting, or stopping through Romania, Germany, France, and Spain. It was a really great trip, and we had a chance to talk with so many of you face -to-face was really great. After that, my focus was really on tech-ed planning and supporting Devtoberfest, which was a really great. was an entire team effort. Our team worked closely with internal colleagues to build out a fantastic Devtoberfest agenda and the response from all of you was huge. So thank you for that. And of course, the whole team dropped into Heidelberg to host the TechEd virtual, which was awesome. I had so much fun with everyone involved. The developer keynote deconstructed was dialed in as usual. The Tech Ed on tour stops around the world. The last couple months of the year have been, I was a whirlwind. And I think a lot of us are a little relieved that it's over. So we're resting up and getting ready to do it all again next year, all for you, our developer community. So with that, I leave you with Happy Holidays, Happy New Year, and I'll see you in 2025.

[Daniel] I'm here in Kanandawa along the lake in upstate New York, where it's quite called, I must say. And I just want to look back at 2020. and say it was an amazing year. I got to be all over the world doing code jams at beating all kinds of interesting people and helping you learn SAP build. And I'm looking forward to an amazing 2025 with a dozen more code jams, tech cad, Devtoberfest, and more. And I want to wish all of you an amazing 2025 full of peace and happiness where all your dreams come true. And I finally want to especially thank my colleagues by fellow developers. Advocates who really, really helped me in all kinds of ways. And I want to wish them, I want to wish my fellow developer advocates, a wonderful 2025. We're full of success and excitement and I don't know what to say now. And in 2025, I want to wish all of my developer advocate colleagues who've done so much for me, an amazing year. And I hope we get to work together even. more. Take care.

[Intro] This is the SAP Developer News for January 9th, 2025.

[Thomas] Welcome everybody to the developer news in 2025. We've got more of the same great little newsbytes coming your way every week. We want to keep you up to date on what's going on in the SAP world for all of our developer ecosystem. But we also have some great new things planned for this year. We're going to continue with the CodeJams, of course. We want to bring up. Bring more road shows to areas that we've not been able to visit in the past couple years. We also will continue the TechEd on Tour, bringing the TechEd in-person experience to more locations near you. Be on the lookout for some of those locations announced probably about mid-year because most of that will happen in the fourth quarter of this year. And we've got some fun new things planned for the developer challenges this year as well. Already by mid-January, so in another week or so, you'll be able to try out the new SAP Community Escape Room Challenge. Can't wait for you to see what fun that's going to be. We've got some other great new things planned as well. We've got some new CodeJams on advanced topics that we're working on, and we'll continue to bring you all the same great experiences on the SAP developers YouTube channel that you've come to expect. So we look forward toa great 2025 with you.

[Witalij] During the holiday season, I celebrated my birthday on December 23rd. And the SAP HANA product team marked the occasion with a special surprise for me and every one of you, the Q4, 24 release of a SAP HANA Cloud. This release brings a host of features designed to benefit data scientists, developers, and AI engineers alike. The Q42024 release introduces native multi-tenancy at the database level. This allows customer data to be managed in database tenants that share the same database instance while remaining logically separated. Multi-tenancy capability ensures enterprise-grade qualities at the tenant level, including customer-specific encryption, recovery, and resource isolation. With every quarterly release, the SAP HANA Cloud predictive analytics library, or PAL, has been enhanced with new embedded machine learning AI and NLP functions. Key highlights of this release include the introduction of text analysis and text authorization, as well as expanded support for vector data as input for additional machine learning functions such as classification and regression. Among the new calculation view features, the graphical expression editor null offers vector functions as well, such as causal similarity to calculate the similarity between the vectors, as well as the function to create a vector embedding from the text, using the vector embedding function obviously. The new SPL plan advisor enables the identification of performance issues in deviating SQL statements. It detects and optimizes SQL performance by comparing execution engine plans. By automatically testing and comparing execution performance across different plans, the advisor recommends and applies optimized execution plans for improved SQL performance. As always, be sure to check the blog posts from SAP Product Managers for all the details. Links are provided in the description. Wishing you a peaceful 2025. Bye. Bye.

[DJ] 2024 was a great year for SAP and the Open Source Program Office and their activities. They've just published the Open Source Program Office and their activities. the SAP Open Source Report 24, which has some great insights as well as listing many of their accomplishments. And having read that report myself, I come away with the key concepts being all about people, community, commitment and collaboration. Basically, it's all about working together in the ecosphere. Anyway, there's a blog post from Ulrika about. the report and also the report itself linked both in the description. Happy reading.

[Nico] Hi everyone and welcome to the SAP developer news. You would like to point your attention to a cool video from the UI5 core team about the UI5 Web Components 2.x release, including the new popover API, new AI components, and the enhanced toolkit. So go check it out and hope to see you soon.

[DJ] We just wanted to let you know that right now we're running a new three-part live stream series on the Hands on SAP Dev show on our YouTube channel, all about CAP Node.js plugins. We had part one last week, which was all about understanding how the plug-in mechanism works. Part two is this week where we learn to all about understanding how the plug-in mechanism works. introspect our service in the CDS repel and the final part three is next week where we actually use the knowledge we've gained in the first two parts and write our plugin. Anyway, there's a link to a series post in the description to this video. In that series post there are links to the live streams, the replays and also to the accompanying blog posts. See you online. Thank you.

[Intro] This is the SAP Developer News for January 16th, 2025.

[Daniel] SAP Build Apps has just released a new flow function that lets you upload documents to the BTP Document Management Service, the document information extraction service, or any service that requires a binary upload. Minko, a developer at SAP Build Apps, created the HTTP Destination and request flow function, which takes a multi-part request body and lets you specify a destination, both of which enable you to upload to the services. He has written two blogs, one on using it with DMS and one on using it with DMS, but I want to point out that I've just released three short videos on how to use this flow function with build apps and DMS, and I want to point out that I've just released three short videos on how to use this flow I've released an entire application that lets you navigate through a DMS repo. So it will list all the documents in the root or any folder in the DMS repo, let you upload documents, let you create folders, and let you delete folders and documents. All you need to do is attach your destination to your DMS repo. And I want to point out that we also have a playlist dedicated just to the document management service. It has videos on setting up DMS, unrelated to SAP Build, as well as how to use it with process automation, and build apps. Links to all of that content are in the description.

[DJ] While most of us were taking some time off over the holiday period recently, the CAP team has kept on working and put out another regular monthly release. December 24 of this. As usual, there are plenty of highlights, some of which I want to bring to your attention here. There are so many I've actually got a list and a read through. Got some notes. And this also sees CAP Node.js at 8.6 and CAP Java at 3.6. Okay, so what have we got? There are changes and improvements in the CDS language and compiler area, specifically For example, a completely rewritten CQN specification using TypeScript declaration files, which in turn brings about improved documentation and also some Intellisense operations that are also improved. There's a new beta feature where foreign key elements of managed associations can be explicitly annotated. Moving to the Node.js flavor of CAPs specifically, there are new compiler related life cycle events. They're also in beta. There are some enhancements to CDS Env. These enhancements relate to source formats and profile-specific endv files. And CDSQL has some enhancements. And these enhancements bring about a more robust operation in general and also some new functions for CQN object construction. In the OData arena, there are also some additions and improvements relating to the OData containment feature, and also a move to allow query option-based provision of function parameters, which some of you, I'm sure, will enjoy. In the Java flavor of CAP, there are some important changes in the area of NPM build plugin support, and also the new Calaisi plugin for the document management service is now open source. Last but not least, in the tools area, there are many enhancements to the CDS REPL. Some of you may have seen these enhancements sort of take shape over the course of the first six episodes of the art and science of CAP, a live stream series that we ran recently with the one and only Daniel Hutzl. So I'll put a link to that also in the description to this item, as well as the link to this December 2024. for Capphire release notes, but also for TypeScript developers out there, you can now just use CDS watch to start the server and it will automatically detect a TypeScript project and under the hood it will run CDSTSX for you. There's also more, even more, in this December 2024 release, but I'll leave it to you to go and check out the release notes in Capphire. Until then, see you online.

[Rich] Hey friends, Rich Heilman here. I just wanted to stop in a bit and let you know about the Joule ABAP Developer Capabilities Early Adopter Program for Customers and Partners. That's right, do you want to check out the Bleeding Edge technology helping ABAP developers become more efficient developers? If so, then go to the Influence. site and register for the early adopters program. Registration started on January 15th and will end on February 15th the same day we plan to release to customers. So again, if you are ready to get your hands dirty with AI and using Joule within ADT to help you with ABAP development, then please sign up for this excellent opportunity to try it out, give us some feedback, and make the product better for all. Thanks to ABAP developers, and we'll see you. See you soon. Bye for now.

[Sheena] You might have noticed that when a field is defined as Read Only for updates in a Draft-enabled application, it cannot be edited after an initial value is provided. Andre Fischer in his latest blog post explains how to achieve the editing of such fields in Draft using the dynamic feature control option. For this, just replace the statement read-only update with features instance in your behavior definition. Then in your behavior implementation method, verify whether an active instance of the entity already exists. If yes, the field will be made read only, however, if no active instance exists, the field will remain editable. Please note that this is applicable only when an object is being created as a draft and has not yet been persisted. Check out the details and sample code in the blog post link provided in the description.

[Nico] Hi everyone and welcome to the SAP Developer News. We have some updates in the Fiori and U5 area that we want to put your attention to. First of all, the SAP Fiori Innovation Day happens on February 5th in Silicon Valley. Definitely check it out if you're in the area. AI is going to be a hot topic, there's going to be a partner session, hands -on sessions and an outlook from the Fiori team on what's to come in the future. Check out the link to register in the future. the description of this video. And also related to Fiori, more UI5. The 2025 Roadmap is out now. Go check it out. If you're interested in UI5, there's some interesting items on there, and go follow. All right, check it out. Hope you see you soon. Bye.

[Intro] This is the SAP Developer News for January 23rd, 2025.

[Riley] The annual SAP Developer Insight Survey is live now. This is the sixth annual running of the survey for us. If you've taken it before, you'll see many familiar questions, things that we use to track trends over time. There's also a deeper exploration this year of topics like generative AI for developers and also developer enablement. In the description section below, you're going to do that. to find two links. The first is actually a link to last year's report. If you haven't looked at that yet, I think you'll find the results interesting. The second link, of course, is to this year's survey. It will take about 12 to 15 minutes of your time to complete. The survey is going to be open for about six weeks. At the end of that time, we'll go off and analyze the data and produce a report that we'll share with you. So I look forward to seeing your comments at the point that we do that. In the meantime, dive into the links, explore it, and we appreciate your feedback. It's important because it helps us shape the programs that we use within the community for 2025. Thank you.

[DJ] Good morning. Storm Éowyn is on its way. It's already bitterly cold. It's starting to rain and the winds are gathering. But I've just got time before I got on my run to tell you about the grassroots annual SAP Tech Conference of the year. That is, of course, Code Connect. Happy way again this year, in the usual place, certainly unruped, in Germany, near Walldorf. In the usual time of year, it's the first full week in July, and we have two usual suspect one-day conferences, the awesome recap and the amazing UI5con, and Code Connect is joined this by a new conference HANA TechCon. So we're also planning to run a couple of CodeJams on the Monday, the first day of the Code Connect week. So let us know if you're interested in those too. For those traveling from afar, there's also an early bird ticket application process. Anyway, all the links are in the description. I'm going to be there and I hope to see you there too.

[Thomas] Hey, I wanted to tell you about the new release of the SAP Cloud SDK for AI. This is a great tool for JavaScript developers to be able to build your own custom AI orchestration services and interactive applications. In this new 1.6 release, we see the inclusion of image recognition in the orchestration service, as well as screaming. capabilities in the orchestration client. So if your JavaScript developer looking to get started with SAP AI capabilities, be sure to check out this new release of the SAP Cloud SDK for AI. AI.

[Daniel] SAP Build Process Automation is introducing a new type of process step. Wait for an API call. The step lets you pause a process automation. and then let an external system call an API to resume it. When you add this type of step to your process, you are creating a new trigger. But instead of this trigger creating a new process instance, it merely resumes an existing instance that had already been paused by the step. The idea is to allow process automation to integrate with external systems and let those systems take over part of the process and then signal back to the process instance that it has finished. It seems like it'll open up a world of possible integration scenarios with process automation. I've written a blog on how to use it, step by step, and I will leave a link to the blog post in the description.

[Antonio] Holla, SAP developers. Did you know that there is a new interest group in SAP community which focuses completely on the integration topic? This is our place to share and connect with a collaborative community of integration developers. Now, what are you waiting for? Go and join a new group. I'm including the link in the description.

[Thomas] I'd like to tell you about a new edition into the certification experience, particularly for SAP build low code no code certification. SAP is adding a new hands-on practical portion of the certification experience. This is a free learning course that comes with system access to allow you to execute exercises to get hands-on practical experience. This is part of a new effort by SAP to bring more practical capabilities and testing as part of the certification experience. So check out the links in the show notes for the addition to the certification, the particular certification that's involved, as well as the free experience learning journey that you can take to get ready for that certification.

[Intro]This is the SAP Developer News for January 30th, 2025.

[Shrini] Hello SAP developers. I hope many of you got a chance to watch the webinar yesterday on the new SAP Build features released in Q4 2024. There were updates on product-specific highlights on tools such as SAP Build Process Automation, build code, build apps, and WorkZone with some cool demos on the new features. Here are some of my favorites. The design time UI in build apps has been redesigned allowing for a more intuitive user experience. Different pages in an app are easily accessible via drop down. Less frequently used tasks are positioned under app settings. Preview and publish options are now more prominent. In the process automation, now you can create and manage process variants. Process variants allow a variant template developer to create processes with pre-configured settings and a variant management user, usually a business configuration expert can modify the template variant to suit his needs which changes like change or order of variance, modify the start condition, release and deploy variants, etc. In WorkZone standard edition, the integration of Joule is a game changer. Joule in WorkZone provides answers and insights from any connected system via prompts, eliminating the need to switch between different tools and user interfaces. Note that this feature is not available in the free trial. Joule integrated in SAP Build Code, now it's seamless migration of SAP UI5 applications from JavaScript to TypeScript. SAP Build Code has an adaptation editor tool which is a new tool for extending SAP UI5 applications. It replaces the SAP UI5 Visual Editor. There are many more features. release in the last quarter, do check out the webinar recording and the blog post explaining all the features, the link to which are in the description below.

[Thomas] My colleague, Shri has already brought you some of the news about SAP build enhancements that were released in January of this year. I want to do a little breakout there on specific enhancements for SAP build code. Of course, build code is part of SAP build build and a little bit. bit of the news was covered in his segment, but for professional developers, I want to give you a little additional information. First of all, in SAP Build Code, we see the new project overview. This is to really replace the project Explorer and give you a better visualization of your project and in particular match up the structure to what you're seeing when you're using the storyboard editor. Next, we see improvements when working with remote function calls. There we've added the ability for the run configuration to be updated automatically as well as support both basic and principle propagation. Next, we see the inline editing for CDS entities. This allows you to edit entities and their attributes without having to switch between the graphical editor and the text or code-based editor. And we see the deprecation of Java tools for SAP WebIDE Now, this is an important note because this has to do with the deprecation of the SAP Java BuildPack version 1. Now, that deprecation is going to take place in June of 2025, and at that time, the older tools in the SAP Web IDE for Java development will also be deprecated. Now, this just means that you need to be using the SAP Business Application Studio, which we recommend that you use anyway. So by June 2025, please plan on moving your CAP Java and other Java-based, uh, tooling-based projects to the business application studio. And finally, the last item has to do with the Joule code generative, uh, capabilities in SAP build code. We see the agent, uh, are the, Joule assistant going multi-agent with the latest enhancements, particularly we see this in the CAP, new project generation. And now what you can do is you can give it a robust description of what you want in your entire CAP application to do, and in a single prompt, it will respond by both generating the application, generating sample data, and generating application logic for what you described. This used to be several different calls and interactions that you'd have to have with the Joule assistant and now, with it being multi-agent, you can do that in all one prompt. So look for all these enhancements in SAP Build Code. And of course, the blog post are all in the links to the show note of this episode.

[Kevin] The January 2025 cap releases right around the corner and we got some great release notes for you. The new CDS parser replacing ANTLR is almost done. With the new parser, you will get reduced installations and faster parsing, as well as improved code completion. And with the new release, you will also be able to use enum symbols when defining a default value. More enum symbols support will come in the future. And on the Java side, you can now use predicates as select items to evaluate Boolean expressions on the database. Odata v401 allows you to invoke functions using implicit parameter aliases, and this invocation style is now also supported by the CAP Java runtime. And CDS debug has been extended for Java, so you can easily debug local and remote Java applications. And lastly, I want to mention that IntelliJ has now SAP CDS language support. There are even more great news about the upcoming release, and you can read all about them in detail on the CAP release page.

[Josh] Hey there, it's Mr. Bluebeard, and I hope you are enjoying the blue sky. It is very windy and cold. outside today, so I came inside to talk to you about Blue Sky, not that Blue Sky, but about the social media site, Blue Sky. SAP is getting more and more active on Blue Sky. We've got the SAP community there. They've had a great feature called starter packs. So if you don't want to follow just the SAP community site, but also a bunch of individuals within other groups, you can quickly grab a starter pack for something like the SAP mentors, champions, developer advocates, or you can just continue to follow individuals. I've got an account there along with a bunch of other people that are inside of those other groups. It's just a great place where information can go and live freely. It was started by some people that started at different social media site years ago. And this is just basically a reboot of a place to go for short, micro -blogging, links, pictures, videos to things you care about. So follow accounts like the SAP community or maybe the UI5 group if you're into that. So there are more and more groups popping up every day. And Blue Sky is not just a song by a great band called ELO Right, DJ? It's a great place to go and share information. We'll see you there. Bye.

Re: Wrap up and Winner announcement . did I miss it?

2025-01-30T21:47:42.195000+01:00

I'm afraid we haven't yet been able to publish the winner details as we are still in the process of legal validation of all the winners. Just one left to go, so hopefully we are close to being able to share that info.

Re: SAP Codejam 2025 in Herne

I've recorded and connected this with an expert on the team. They will be in touch to discuss further logistics.

Re: CodeJam in Royal Eswatini Sugar Corporation (Eswatini)

2025-02-11T21:38:41.486000+01:00

We don't have any experts that can conduct CodeJams in this region. There is an outside chance that we might have an event with South Africa user group later this year and could possibly combine with this request. But nothing is confirmed yet. I can place this in the backlog and contact you if something looks possible. But right now I can't commit to this location.

Re: SAP CodeJam 2025 in Krakow, Poland

2025-02-11T21:48:13.946000+01:00

I believe you've already been in touch with Kevin about this request. I'll enter an issue in our tracking board and connect it with him to ensure it's all being planned. Thanks.

Re: Hosting CodeJam in Krakow, Poland

2025-02-11T21:55:00.726000+01:00

I've recorded your request and assigned an expert. We have two recent requests for Krakow, Poland. Although different topics. Perhaps we can combine them into a single trip for one expert. The expert will be in touch to discuss logistics.

I'm afraid not. The CodeJam is designed to be an in person experience and doesn't translate well to virtual. For virtual learning we have materials available on learning.sap.com, developer tutorials on developers.sap.com, and of course many videos on the SAP Developers YouTube channel.

Transcription

[Witalij, Nora and Sheena] Namaste! Greetings from Kolkata, where we had first two SAP CodeJams of our ML/AI tour. Nora, what did we do today? We have the Generative AI CodeJam today, where we use the Python SDK of Generative AI Hub, and we also used the orchestration service of Generative AI Hub. we also implemented a retrieval-augmented generation use case, and we even looked into AI agents. What did we do yesterday? Yesterday we had more fun. More fun than today? I'm kidding. Just wanted to check that we are still alive at the end of these two days, and luckily we are. So yesterday we focused on HANA embedded machine learning, and basically we were going through several cycles of training the machine learning model with the best parameters. And I think that the feedback was great both yesterday and today, but this is not the end of our show. So, Sheena, where are we going next? Yeah, we are heading out to Pune to conduct another AI CodeJam at Bloomberg. And we are not stopping there. We are coming back to Bangalore and conducting two other CodeJams on ML and AI at TCS. So see you soon. See you. Bye.

[Shilpa] Hi, Nora and Witalij. Welcome to India and I'm glad you're having some great CodeJams here. While you're on the way to the next CodeJam, I want to talk about the March developer challenge on your behalf. So with that, hello SAP developers. A new escape room in the SAP community escape house has been unlocked and it's the AI room. If you want to try your hands on the Generative AI hub on SAP AI core, learn how to use orchestration service and SAP HANA vector engine, then do check out the challenge. The room will be unlocked until the end of March. Check it out, have fun and escape the room.

[DJ] The developer advocates run a live stream show called Hands on SAP Dev, as I'm sure some, hopefully many of you already know. Recently, we've been running a series called the Art and Science of Cap with Daniel Hutzel, where we've discussed and talked about and dug into in great depth lots of different influences that have shaped CAP its design. from an art and science perspective. One of these influences is functional programming. And there was chat in the most recent episode, that's part 10, as to whether we should also do some functional programming episodes in general, not specific to CAP. Some folks in the chat during the live stream, let me know that they would like to see some of these episodes. If you want to see some sessions on functional programming from us, then let us know in the comments. Thanks.

[Josh] It's a long way from Philly to Heidelberg. It's also a long way back from Heidelberg to Philly. Luckily, we've got our best. Well, we've got this guy on it. Oh, sorry, Josh.

[DJ] Code Connect, the annual conference for SAP technical practitioners around the world is taking place again in July. First of all, we have a warm-up in the form of a CodeJam, two CodeJams in fact. Then we have UI5Con, followed by reCAP, followed by HANA TechCon. Now, for these three conferences, UI5Con, reCAP and HANA TechCon, there's currently a call for proposals, talks, talk submissions. But the call for proposals is ending shortly, March the 10th. So get your submissions in to one, two or all three of these one-day conferences. The possible session types are many unvaried, short talks, long talks, demos, workshops, hands-on sessions, all sorts of different possibilities. So check out the CodeConnect website, wave and jump to each of the individual. conferences and find the call for proposals submission forms. Good look and I'll see you there.

Re: Can you pass sy-subrc as parameter in class constructor?

2025-04-28T17:33:18.527000+02:00

Personally, I'd use the intermediate variable. sy-subrc's value gets changed so easily and so often. Even doing pass by value as you are, maybe sy-subrc's value is actually getting changed by the start of the call of the constructor even before the parameter is assigned. If you really need a stable sy-subrc value, then copy it to a local variable as you are doing. That's the only way to assure it stays at that particular value state.
