I miss the LA-Vegas roadtrip to TechEd but love the 2 hour only flight to get to #techedontour See all those joining in Sydney soon!

See you tonight (Tue 11th) for #SAPStammtischSYD Pumphouse Sydney from 7pm 🍻 Close to ICC, Town Hall, Central pumphouse-sydney.com.au/about-us @sapcommunity.bsky.social @yojibee.bsky.social @joshbentley.bsky.social @thomas-jung.bsky.social @jocdart.bsky.social @richheilman.bsky.social

The pre-olympics event - yep!

I reckon the recent AI failure shown on The Morning Show freaked a lot of Marketing folk when it comes to live - production ready AI demos

The fight is real!

Wait till next week - Aussie TechEd on Tour should step things up! We're not trying to win over people on LinkedIn as much (though the engagement on LinkedIn is honestly great if you just want "likes")

I do for my phone to avoid enterprise phone management and for secondary emails but not as nice as classic either

I gave the New Microsoft Outlook a good go for over a month, but yeah - Back to Classic - Feels like a slow web app that has been dumbed down...

Supercharged Local Open Source Joule for Consultants: Search Your Data & Code Joule for Consultants costs 250 € and mainly searches SAP Help, SAP Community and SAP for Me (Notes). That is useful, but it stops where real projects start: your own systems, codebase and sensitive d...

Have a better version of Joule for consultants open source and truly local with access to your own code and data.

The Morning Show latest episode had a good example today about usage of LLM AI in the enterprise 😜 though possibly included Unsupervised Learning in the mix!

This Devtober session was named badly but is really good around UI5 www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZyI... I'm really looking forward to mid-2026 for Building Blocks being released and a new push towards TypeScript in UI5. MCP demo is great with informative "instructions to LLM" - Early Days though....

When learning JAVA (before JAVA got really annotated and confusing), I had a book that taught me enterprise web development which was so much more detailed and allowed me to build a production solution - CAP/UI5 doesn't seem to have that perfect end to end enterprise app tutorial yet...

Simple is hard...

I'd forgotten how bad ABAP development without ADT and within CITRIX (where Ctrl-F2/F3 is overwritten with a Citrix command) is!

On hiding drafts - I realise annotating the list page with "Draft" might help (but also confuse a scenario we are trying to hide drafts), and also setting up a schedule to delete "Drafts" will help. IMO, Draft shoudl be marked as throw away if not reopened within n minutes if the connection is lost

Hiding Draft-Related Features in Fiori seems like a cool annotation feature, but bit of a worry that it saves the draft continously behind the scenes, hence if you close the browser and view the entries, it looks "active" to end user sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/sdk/#/topic/...

FYI - With some further fighting with AI - I finally got there (for now)....

FYI - Would be nice if they were in order next time as you can't filter out premiere so you have to scroll through them to see what you missed each day...

I still think they messed up by calling key user adaptation "Customizing" and development "Configuration"! And then killed it further by integrating it massively with BOPF (which some people strangely loved)

Cloudification repository has been updated now too (and yes - note the naming):

And maybe generic JDBC adapter...

Pretty sure Edge Integration Cell for SAP Integration Suite will take off after Quarter 1 next year when the (NFS) file adapter is released (rightly or wrongly File integration is here to stay for many customers): www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZ0B...

Nice to finally see what's new in S/4HANA Private Cloud Edition 2025 - help.sap.com/docs/SAP_S4H... - Unfortunate that documentation refer to it as (part of) "SAP Cloud ERP Private".

Has the "Clean Core Level Concept" been already renamed to the "ABCD Framework" or is this just a good individual move to replace an overly clumsy name? I suggest Clean Core ABCD framework FTW!

Great content (and available in 4k too) - Would be nice to add the mock of the service as a best practice in the demo as that is important for "testing in isolation" - at least so I've read and experienced the impact when not done.

I’m curious how many RAP objects in SAP actually support the allowNewCompositions extensibility option (allow you to add 0..n composition). It seems really powerful, but in Public Cloud I can’t figure out how to search for this annotation, and most of the obvious objects don’t seem to have it.

Guessing the example I was referring to was more a TechEd marketing one ironically, and that should be higher quality - and I really hope keynotes and online Keynote TechEd content also allow much higher resolution this year.
Most Devtoberfest videos are perfect the way they are using Zoom!

Multi angle is still in testing it looks like but would be excellent. And it's all about setting up a good workflow - DaVinci Resolve is excellent free tool for this and makes high quality content...YouTube takes care of the various formats automatically. Might investigate for you...

Mastering SAP Collaborate Session: "The Practicalities and Strategies for Implementing the Clean Core Level Concept in an ERP Cloud/BTP World"

Only a bit more than a month before I have to finalise this ever changing topic with my latest learnings and lessons learned. Plan is to make this about 50% developer focused and 50% IT Manager/Architecture/Functional focused.
