TRANSCRIPT

[Intro] This is the SAP Developer News for November 13th, 2025.

[Tom] Hey, everyone. We're coming to you from Sydney, Australia. This is our first stop on TechEd on Tour. We got some of the team that's here in Australia. Say hi, everyone. Hi. We'll be doing hands-on sessions from the event as well as the developer garage. We're here in the developer garage on the show floor. There's Anne. Josh, what do we have planned from the community side? So we've got a lovely community corner here as we're calling it. We're actually asked the people how they like to navigate our Community website, as well as just the outreach. Having a meetup last night, a Stammtisch. We've got to keep doing that. Once I get on tour, we've got a couple more spots for me to go into. Having a lot of fun meeting with people in person. Yeah, it's been great energy. The Stammtisch last night, what would you say, 70, 80 people there or so? a good turnout and uh we're all this is our second week on the road uh for for many of us we'll be heading to uh Melbourne and uh Singapore next week for some CodeJams and then on to Bangalore for the last stop for the TechEd on Tour so uh continue to tune in to the SAP Developer News for updates on what's going on with the TechEd on Tour and if you're in any of those cities we're coming to, we're looking forward to seeing you in the coming weeks. Until then, have fun, everybody. Bye.

[Riley] Howdy, developers. If you're interested in ABAP, there's a customer and partner roundtable session scheduled for next week. It's happening on November the 19th. The ABAP product team will be going over several new features related to the release of 2511. They'll also be going over new ADT features as well. A Q&A session will follow. You can find details in Iwona Hahn's blog post, which is linked to below. Thank you.

[Mamikee] As we heard at TechEd Berlin 2025, we're rolling out ABAP Development Tools for VS Code. Here's what's in the scoop now and where to read more. From ABAP Development Tools for VS Code, Everything You Need to Know blog post, The first wave targets ABAP Cloud only, not dynpro or web dynpro, and starts with RAP UI services so front-end and back-end RAP can work and live in one place. It's an early adopter drop with roughly a dozen plus object types and the core develop-test-debug loop. Now for work outside of RAP UI services, keep Eclipse ADT in the mix for now. We'll catch up to Eclipse one client release at a time. We're reusing the ADT code base and moving tool to the LSP. Editing is file-based, which is great for today's AI workflows, and Joule for Developers is planned for VS Code. You can also use VS Code's AI extension. Just note, the virtual workspace model means some extensions may have limits. Now, backend support aligns with Eclipse down to SAP NetWeaver 7.3. From the Introducing the Next Era of ABAP Development blog post, this puts VS Code inside the broader direction, modern tooling, plus AI-assisted development to boost productivity and make ABAP development feel at home with today's workflow. This post is the strategy view where the experience is heading and how AI features like Joule for Developers will evolve alongside the tooling. Now, you can read both of these blog posts in the link below.

[DJ] If you took part in Devtoberfest or caught some of the SAP TechEd content this year, then you may already be aware of SAP's adoption of the open Model Context Protocol, MCP, and the birth of open -source-based MCP servers for CAP, UI5, and Fiori development. Now is the perfect time to dig in and learn more and you're in luck because there's an SAP open source webinar on this very topic covering the three MCP servers I've just mentioned it's next week on Wednesday the 19th of November. There are three awesome big-brained experts David Kunz, Dominik Heim and Matthias Osswald and the webinar will cover the protocol itself and how these MCP servers can help. There'll be a live demo too, and you'll have a chance to ask questions. And it's free. Head over to the SAP Open Source webinars page to register. Link in the description.
