how to start learning SAP - trainings, courses

2025-09-25T14:56:46.352000+02:00

Hi everybody,

I’m new here and I have a question. I want to learn SAP and am new to this technology. Yes, I know it’s pretty tough with a lot to learn. But I want to do it because I want to change my profile. My background is data warehouse development, data modeling, and ETL development. Here I want to pivot instead of diving deeper into AWS or Azure cloud; I want to learn SAP, maybe SAP BTP and Cloud.

What do you think? Are these good topics for the future and with my background? Is there anyone here who can offer advice on which courses and trainings to start with for an introduction?

SAP, AI, and Cloud: A New Era of Enterprise Systems

SAP Today: A Technical Perspective

When we talk about SAP today, it’s no longer just about ERP. The platform now integrates with AI, machine learning, and cloud technologies. For example, SAP S/4HANA supports real-time analytics. Instead of waiting hours for batch reports, finance and operations teams can work with live data and speed up decision-making.

Integration is another key area. Many organizations run multiple systems: CRM, HR, supply chain, and more. SAP BTP (Business Technology Platform) provides a framework that lets these systems communicate. That reduces data duplication, cuts manual steps, and gives more reliable outcomes.

There is also a notable shift toward sustainability and compliance. SAP includes capabilities to track carbon footprints, manage ESG data, and meet global reporting standards. This is now a requirement in many industries, and the platform provides tools to handle the related complexity.

From a technical view, the migration path is important. Moving from ECC to S/4HANA is not just a technical upgrade it requires rethinking processes. Many organizations use the migration to automate workflows, add predictive analytics, or connect IoT devices to ERP. It is as much transformation as it is technology.

In short, SAP is evolving beyond an ERP backbone into a digital core covering analytics, integration, compliance, and automation. The convergence of SAP with AI and cloud-native apps will continue to deepen this role.

Connection Issue Between SAP BTP Trial and S/4HANA On-Premise via Cloud Connector

2025-10-20T14:07:04.600000+02:00

Hi All,

I’m currently configuring the connectivity between our SAP BTP free trial account and our S/4HANA on-premise system using the Cloud Connector. After completing the setup, I tried to validate the connection between the cloud and on-premise systems, but I encountered an error.

Upon checking the related SAP Note, it seems that the issue might be due to a possible spelling mistake in the host name or a connectivity issue with the internal host.

I have verified that the internal hostname and port are correct, and I also checked in SICF in on-premise system to ensure the correct internal host and port are maintained. However, the connection is still not working. I’m using an HTTPS connection.

Could you please help me resolve this issue?

BTP trial account

2025-11-03T18:00:18.456000+01:00

Hello SAP Community,

I want to share my strong disappointment regarding the recent changes to the SAP BTP Free Tier/Trial accounts. These restrictions are making it very difficult for new developers and learners to use the platform.

1. The Deployment Block

The biggest issue is stopping the deployment of apps in BTP for free.

BTP is a platform for running apps. If we can't deploy our prototypes and completed tutorials, we can't truly learn how the platform works end-to-end.
This is a major setback for anyone trying to get hands-on experience and makes BTP far less accessible for the community.

2. Request to Restore Memory

I also want to request a return to the older, more generous limits:

Please restore the allowed memory limit to 4GB. The current reduced memory quota is too small for many real-world development examples and makes the platform feel unusable for meaningful learning.

I urge the SAP BTP team to reconsider these decisions.

A truly usable free tier is an investment in the future of the BTP developer community. Please restore the ability to deploy applications and give us back the 4GB of memory.

Thank you for listening.

Issue with CDS Join for SD & FI Documents for Custom IRN RAP Application

2025-11-19T17:19:32.704000+01:00

Hello Expert,

I am working on a custom RAP based Fiori Elements Application for IRN and E-Way Bill Generation. Currently, we generate the IRN using the SD Document Type based on the CDS view I_BillingDocumentBasic.

As per the new requirement, we also need to include FI Documents, so we are using the CDS view I_JournalEntryItem. Our objective is to retrieve DG and DR documents using a UNION ALL, but we are facing an issue where some required fields are not appearing. I have attached a Code of the CDS view which we have Developed.

Could anyone guide us on what might be causing the join issue or how we can achieve this requirement in our custom IRN application?

We have created two CDS views one is a join of the FI and SD document CDS views, and the another is the Backend CDS view used for IRN Generation where we fetch the Document Type.

Please find the attached First CDS view which has Join logic for both the SD and FI Document CDS views.

Minecraft 1.21.124 Bedrock Edition Android Gestión de Recursos en la Nube y Latencia S3

2025-12-01T05:44:56.134000+01:00

Referencia del caso técnico y discusión original: ***REMOVED BY MODERATION***

Hola comunidad tecnológica. Mientras investigaba sobre la optimización de entrega de contenido estático para aplicaciones móviles de alto tráfico en entornos Android, me encontré con un escenario interesante de configuración en AWS que podría ser relevante para quienes gestionamos integraciones híbridas.

El caso de estudio se centra en la distribución de paquetes de actualización (específicamente identificados como la versión 1.21.124) y los conflictos que surgen entre las políticas de acceso público de S3 y la distribución de CloudFront.

Análisis de la Infraestructura 1.21.124

Al intentar desplegar recursos pesados para clientes Android, la configuración presenta desafíos que se asemejan mucho a lo que vemos en SAP BTP cuando gestionamos grandes volúmenes de datos no estructurados. He estructurado los puntos clave que se discuten en el enlace superior:

Sincronización de Datos: Problemas de latencia al conectar el bucket S3 con la aplicación cliente en tiempo real.
Permisos de Acceso: Conflictos en las ACL (Listas de Control de Acceso) que bloquean la descarga de archivos esenciales.
Optimización de Carga: Necesidad de invalidar la caché de CloudFront para asegurar que la versión 1.21.124 se despliegue correctamente sin errores 403.

Detalles de Configuración y Rendimiento

Para mantener la estabilidad del sistema bajo carga, se destacan los siguientes parámetros técnicos que deben ser revisados:

Validación de Origen: Asegurar que el OAI (Origin Access Identity) esté correctamente vinculado.
Compatibilidad Android: Ajuste de headers HTTP para garantizar que el cliente móvil interprete correctamente los paquetes JSON.
Redundancia: Estrategias para evitar la caída del servicio durante picos de petición.

Discusión

Basándome en el enlace de AWS compartido al inicio, mi duda para los expertos aquí es: ¿Cómo manejarían ustedes esta validación de seguridad si estos activos estáticos estuvieran alojados en un entorno integrado con SAP Document Management Service? ¿Sería más eficiente mantener la política de bloqueo público estricta o utilizar URLs firmadas para este tipo de versiones?

Agradezco sus comentarios sobre esta arquitectura.

Custom logic for payment advice to add profit center

Unable to purchase any product in SAP Store as partner edge

2025-12-14T11:55:48.192000+01:00

Dear team,

We are currently unable to purchase any products as a partner, including Free Tier solutions, we have tried on multiple channels:

1. Purchase via SAP Discovery Center:

Add the product to an 'estimate'>
'Buy now' option>
Redirected to a 'Configure SAP Business Technology Platform', even trough we have an active SAP BTP account with many products, and our contract/license is valid on me.sap.com

2- When we try to purchase an SKU in me.sap:

Partnership>
Test, Demo & Development License>
Order Cloud License>
Select any product>
Buy now>
We get error:

'User (S-user) is NOT assigned to Buyer authorization S4M_BUYLIC. Please contact support. (Code: VAL_0004)'

'We are unable to process your order. Please contact support. (Code: DCPCPS_015)'

We have already opened multiple cases with Discovery Center support. After a delay of approximately five days, the only response received was a request to log in using an S-user with Super Admin role — which we already have and are using.

Please clarify the root cause and how this can be resolved.

BW on HANA →BW PCE (Lift & Shift): realistic split of SAP vs customer/partner Basis responsibilities

2026-01-07T12:58:29.592000+01:00

Hi all,

We are requested to support a BW on HANA 7.5 migration / lift to the private cloud edition.

I recently attended an SAP webinar about SAP Business Data Cloud and BW Private Cloud Edition. During the Q&A, I asked about the typical split of responsibilities and effort between SAP AG Basis and customer/partner Basis during a lift & shift migration of BW on HANA 7.5 to BW 7.5 PCE.

The answer was roughly “~70% SAP AG Basis, ~30% customer”, but the presenter also mentioned this was more of a rough estimate.

I would be interested in hearing practical project experiences from the community:

Which activities are typically handled by SAP AG (beyond infrastructure and system copy)?
Which activities realistically remain with the customer or a partner (e.g. preparation, cleanup, user/role validation, testing, cutover coordination)?
In projects where the customer had limited or no PCE experience, how important was a partner Basis/BW role to bridge the gap?
Does it suffice to plan for 1 Clinent / Partner Basis resource + 1 SAP AG Basis + 1 BW resource?
How long does it take to move a 3 tier BW system having ca. 2 TB in prod into the cloud targetting for only a 2-tier landscape (QA/DEV together and PROD)
Did you face any major issues with connections to other systems, performance, process chains, queries/ reports, roles / access after the lift to PCE?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience.

JSON Payload Download Implementation in RAP Application

2026-01-15T05:43:26.518000+01:00

Hello Expert,

I am currently working on a custom RAP (RESTful ABAP Programming Model) Application in SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud. In this application, we use an API to send data to an external portal.

Now there is a new requirement when the user clicks a button, the JSON payload that is used in the ABAP program for sending data via the API should be downloaded in JSON format.

For this purpose, I have already created a custom action in the Behavior Definition, and the button is visible in the Application. My question is how to implement the download functionality so that the same JSON payload used for the API call can be downloaded by the user in JSON format and Also, please explain how to implement the JSON download functionality in the RAP application with step by step guidance.

Thank you,

How to configure managed approuter to serve CAP endpoints?

2026-01-29T13:50:23.553000+01:00

Hi all,

I have a fullstack CAP cloud application along with a managed approuter. I am having some trouble getting the approuter to correctly point to my cap service (currently without a UI). Currently the approuter correctly points to my ui5 page (capbase) but my cap service (dev-capbase-srv) returns the error message

Cannot GET /

However, when I append the /odata/v4/catalog/Employees to my url I get a 401 unauthorized error. But I have tested this via postman by generating a bearer token and can then see the data displayed. But my question is why is my approuter not directing me to this service automatically without having to append the /odata/v4/catalog/Employee endpoint to my url: port4004-workspaces-ws-ak3uq.us10.trial.applicationstudio.cloud.sap/

Further information: I have a fiori list report generated in my app folder for this CAP employee service
my xs-app.json file is as follows:

{
  "routes": [
    {
      "source": "^/odata/v4/catalog/(.*)$",
      "target": "/odata/v4/catalog/$1",

Delete F4579 configuration

2026-02-16T13:30:51.518000+01:00

We created a SAP Business Configuration via the ADT generator, usable in F4579.

We now want to delete it.

If we look up the maintenance object via Open Object in Eclipse, this gives an error.

We tried deleting it via the TR, and via TADIR. This does not work: the configuration is still there in F4579.

Does anyone know how to do this?

How to setup Duplicate Checks on MDG Cloud Edition 2602?

2026-02-18T16:12:48.573000+01:00

Hi, I'm fairly new to MDG Cloud Edition and I can't find enough information online. Everything I find is either about on premise, private cloud or public cloud. The Cloud Edition page from sap is very high level, it doesn't go enough into details to be helpful.

Could someone explain the step by step to setup or configure Duplicate checks for Business Partners?
What are the possibilities there?

sp_iqindexinfo assertions

2026-03-04T21:43:02.393000+01:00

I would like to seek your guidance regarding the behavior of sp_iqindexinfo following recent changes in the dev branch.
On the dev branch, IQ_SYSTEM_TEMP is no longer returned from SYSIQDBFILE (change 7033387). After this change, I am encountering dbtest assertion failures related to DBSpPct while running cn_partition.tst.
Observed behavior:
Dev branch
• SYSIQDBFILE contains dbspace 16388 but no entry for 16385
• sp_iqclouddbspace() returns:

iqcn_user
IQ_SYSTEM_TEMP (HDLFS path present)

Master branch
• SYSIQDBFILE includes dbspace 16385
• sp_iqclouddbspace() returns only iqcn_user
Following this change, dbtest assertions from sp_iqindexinfo are failing, for example:
• DBSpPct for DBA.pt1dbsp9 = 20 (expected ≤ 19)
• DBSpPct for DBA.pt1.C2_FPdbsp4 = 36 (expected ≤ 30)
Based on my understanding:
• DBSpBlks represents total capacity in blocks
• IQ_SYSTEM_TEMP is managed separately in Cloud and its entry was removed from SYSIQDBFILE
• If TEMP capacity is not included in the denominator, DBSpBlks becomes smaller
• A smaller denominator results in a higher percentage, leading to assertion failures
I also reviewed change 5396042 but I was unable to clearly understand how DBSpPct limits are derived, particularly when IsDataLakeTest is true versus false.
Please provide your guidance on the following:

Should sp_iqindexinfo be adjusted to handle the absence of IQ_SYSTEM_TEMP in SYSIQDBFILE?
Are the dbtest DBSpPct limits expected to change due to this behavior?
What would be the recommended approach to debug this assertion?

Custom Business Configuration Sorting the Table using Non-KeyFields

2026-03-26T05:51:59.145000+01:00

Hi Experts,

I am currently using the Custom Business Configuration and have generated some entities. I am currently having issue sorting the table, I have tried using annotations like the one below in the Metadata Extension.

Seems like even with this, it is getting ignored and still sorts by key fields.

Scenario:

Operation - Keyfield	Counter - Keyfield	Country - Non-Keyfield
Flight	1	V
Flight	2	A
Flight	3	D

I want to be able to sort the table by default when opening the application by country which is not a key field and ignore the keyfields with the expected output:

Operation - Keyfield	Counter - Keyfield	Country - Non - Keyfield
Flight	2	A
Flight	3	D
Flight	1	V

In this case, the keyfields was set to hidden for user and will only see the country column, so users would want it to be sorted.

Does anyone have any work around on this?

ECS broke our RISE PCE WAF 2 and ECS cannot fix it

2026-03-31T14:03:24.712000+02:00

After 4 years in RISE PCE (Azure) we finally were requested by SAP to raise a ticket with ECS to migrate from WAF v1 to WAF v2.

it looks like ECS have hand crafted the configuration - its not via a defined terraform, bicep or arm template. the WAF v2 rules are in restricted mode and nothing really works...

Fiori tiles won't work; icon image are missing

ECS won't provide an export of the WAF config so we can compare and review - even though its our tenant and a shared security model.

you will have to forgive my ignorance in that as RISE PCE the WAF should have a defined security template that doesn't need any tweaking.

we already know SAP don't follow MS best practice for SAP on azure; or i would have had WAF v2 4 years ago.

Anyone got any suggestions i can bat back into ECS?

After moving to RISE with SAP, what changed the most in your operating model or delivery approach?

2026-04-21T17:31:46.838000+02:00

Moving to RISE with SAP is often framed as a technical shift, but in practice, it tends to change how teams actually work.

Things like ownership, decision-making, and even how delivery is structured don’t always stay the same. In some cases, processes become more standardized; in others, teams need to adapt in ways they didn’t fully expect.

If you’ve gone through that transition, what changed the most for you in your operating model or delivery approach?

How has RISE with SAP changed ownership across teams in your organization?

2026-04-28T17:32:18.191000+02:00

Since moving to RISE with SAP, things kind of shifted around. Stuff like infrastructure isn't really ours anymore as SAP handles most of that. We've been in the process of figuring out what we actually own.

We’re less involved in the technical operations and more focused on integration and making processes work across the business. At the beginning it wasn’t always clear who owned what, but over time it’s become more defined.

Curious to hear how others are navigating that shift, has it made things simpler or just different?
