This looks really interesting, but it should be for customers and partners as customers need to know this even more importantly than partners to ensure they manage their BTP landscape!

So with that in mind - 2-Tier is best provided you tightly control and standardise your non-prod usage (though I personally don't love replicated Dev and QAS role mapping to BTP with all different to Prod) - This will definitely avoid additional maintenance activities though!

e.g You could transform <AD Prod Group Name>_CISDEV to <AD Prod Group Name> in CIS groups to maintain similar mappings for BTP and only include _CISDEV groups in your Dev instance. Everything else would be mostly identical (except CIS tenant in BTP)

CIS best practice? If you don't have SuccessFactors (and need for a CIS tenant per SF instance), the recommendation is 2-tier (against 3-tier landscape), but I feel 3-tier might be better to minimise diff of prod, dev and qas for solutions over time and minimise people touching CIS. Thoughts?

Finally: An MCP Server for ABAP I built a community MCP server for ABAP so GitHub Copilot in Eclipse can pull in the right ABAP knowledge fast, including SAP Docs, SAP Community, and SAP blogs.

I released a ABAP MCP Server to use in Eclipse;

Really not talked about enough - and especially not necessarily understood by customers with BTP solutions...

Classic it depends argument anyway really... But I always want people to consider who supports it after the consultants leave... SAP internal support teams which are always too small to hire more people need to already do too much... So even a new node.js dev needs to do multiple SAP roles to exist

There's also a lot of nuance and different angles to consider that is way beyond this platform - for example if the developer is like your skill level with some SAP background on a public cloud ERP, then that's a different story altogether

Agree to disagree until there are actual useful consumable APIs on most customer systems...

Noting, this is from the perspective of a business who get consulting companies in to do the work integrated with SAP typically and they need to support it after they leave... Personally, I love CAP with Building Blocks/FE though V2 odata ERP backends still suck!

I call them an enterprise developer which are usually consultants and need to leave something behind the customer can support as they are not a software company (yet)... But that is very rare indeed...

But not understand BTP specifics, ERP, and Fiori!

A good set of arguments here... There is an argument of finding good modern and production hardened ABAPer's in the future but for now, it seems harder to find good modern and production hardened CAP'ers, especially who instil the practices to keep CAP safely running/patched!

One more - camera is actually worse than naked eye (movement is super fast) and covers half the sky!

Big week in Tassie - Big Aurora Australis show now and Foo Fighters on Saturday in Launie!

If you type windows key, then "text cursor" - In there, you can make it so much easier on a high resolution large screen to see the text cursor to edit text (like within cells in Excel)

Trying Boost Blue app on Android and nice to have a blue sky client that lets you scroll up from where you last read with number of unread shown

This is a good comment: Treat every response like it came from a very enthusiastic intern who might be brilliant but also might be making things up to avoid looking stupid.

Anyone deployed apps to Work Zone with the Business Solution approach having issues for the last few days in BTP right now (especially APAC region)? community.sap.com/t5/technolog...

Kind of love this (photo of my dog being photographed from above Tasmania in space)! Engineering is cool!

Under 2 seconds even in Australia!

Why is it so hard to get rid of US English as the default from Word and PowerPoint documents that keep coming my way?! #miniFridayRant

Questionable thought process when it comes to Carol's requests though!

AI Images can really help sell your presentation and tell a story while making it a little more fun (some way out of context and briefly explained samples from my recent presentation where I possibly went overboard)
