When embracing local-first development and using cds watch, we're actually using a convenience shortcut for:cds serve all --with-mocks --in-memory?That --with-mocks option for cds serve is described thus:--with-mocks Use this in combination with t...
In an earlier question in this challenge, we looked at the managed aspect in the context of common and reusable definitions. This aspect causes each entity to which it is assigned to gain four new elements thus:createdAt : Timestamp @cds.on.insert :...
When building our CDS model, we describe, amongst other things:typesaspectsentitiesservicesThe CDL for each of these objects is clear and simple. That's because of the intent behind the design of CDS as a whole, but also because there's a particular ...
The cds REPL is a powerful facility that helps us explore and debug. It's based on the regular Node.js REPL, which has a number of REPL-level commands:; node Welcome to Node.js v24.15.0. Type ".help" for more information. > .help .break Sometimes ...
At one level, the CDS family of languages cover definitions, queries and expressions, in the form of CDL, CQL and CXL respectively. Each of these languages have a human-readable form and a machine-readable form. For example, while CDL is the human-re...

When defining a service, it's common to expose targets that are related. The classic example might be books and authors:using bookshop as my from '../db/schema'; service AdminService { entity ListOfBooks as projection on my.Books excluding { price...
When modelling with CDS and its family of languages we have access to a wide selection of clean and concise declarative syntax. In the expressions area there are expressions (and in particular path expressions) and also a certain style of filter.Thes...
Within the CDS family of languages we have CXL, the CDS Expression Language. In the context of CDS models and queries, CXL brings the ability to use expressions for describing calculations, declaring conditions, and more, all of which enriches the CD...
Within the topic of security and data privacy and specifically within security, we have:Authentication: verification of a user's identityAuthorization: checking what level of access a given user hasIn other words, "who" a user is (authentication), an...
The "effective" configuration for a given project is made up from values that can be taken from a number of different source locations, shown here:There are built-in defaults, user-specific defaults, static and user-specific project settings and more...
At the CAP-level, support for multiple databases is available (SQLite, Postgres, HANA, H2). This support includes standard operators and standard functions, portable across the database runtimes. There are various functions in this set, across differ...
In domain modelling, we can have name prefixes for the components of our models. They're optional, but useful, especially if reusability is a factor. This prefixing can be defined with either the namespace or the context directives, or a combination ...
I need clarification on how the task-based outbox processing behaves in a horizontally scaled deployment with multiple application instances.
Among the CDS annotations for declaring constraints when modelling, there are a handful that can be used to drive behaviour and restrictions in Fiori UIs, by causing the generation of appropriate annotations in the service's metadata.One of these ann...
A set of common types and aspects is great, and our models are the better for using them. But what about actual data? There are some types, which are defined as associations to entities, and it would be useful to be able to have access to and load in...
CDS provides a set of common types and aspects for reuse in CDS models, so we can avoid reinventing the wheel each time. Moreover, we end up with concise models that are easier to understand, and our models are more interoperable.In this set, there's...
SAP Developer Challenge - CAP KnowledgeWelcome to the Developer Challenge for this month of June 2026. You can guess from the "CAP Knowledge" title of the challenge that it's about CAP, and specifically knowledge of CAP. What does that mean, and perh...
A write-up of ODATANO, a CAP plugin I've been building that exposes the Cardano blockchain as three OData V4 services.SAP records are trusted but mutable. Anchoring them as immutable proofs has traditionally meant Hyperledger Fabric, a consortium, an...
If you have worked with SAP BTP before, you are likely already familiar with the basics of SAP Cloud Application Programming Model (CAP) development, at least within a Trial Account. Rather than starting from the very beginning, this blog assumes a f...
Setting up CAP projects is repetitive, error-prone, and time-consuming.CAP Initializr eliminates all of that—so you can focus on building, not configuring.

This blog post describes how to create a CAP application that retrieves DMQ messages from SAP Advanced Event Mesh for quarantine. Retrieving DMQ messages from the message broker before their TTL ends safeguards messages from deletion and keeps the me...
45 minutes. That's how long it took to build a Customer Feedback & Complaint Management system on SAP BTP: 11 backend entities, 4 Fiori apps with 2,500+ lines of UI annotations, semantic coloring, and working navigation.It's not ready to ship project...
In this blog post I report on my recent experiments and findings on how to implement a semantic search in CAP Node.js. The goal for the search mechanism was to be able to find the item in an entity with the best semantic match based on a user query (...
