ABAP Custom Code Adaptation for SAP S/4HANA

As of August 2025, SAP introduced a new extensibility model, which categorizes extensions into four levels (A, B, C, and D) and provides rules for ABAP classic extensions to meet the clean core level qualifications, explained here: Clean core extensibility white paper.

For governance of ABAP clean core development, the ABAP test cockpit (ATC) now supports the clean core level concept with new ATC checks (see the blog post ABAP test cockpit (ATC) recommendations for governance of clean core ABAP development).

 

ABAP Channels Demos in AS ABAP Developer Edition

Using ABAP Push Channel – Web Socket implementation for ABAP – you can push in real-time any ABAP backend data changes to your Web UI and vice versa. With ABAP Messaging Channels your ABAP application can get notified about the processing status of other ABAP sessions and react without having to poll the database periodically for an updated status. And last but not least using both ABAP Push and ABAP Messaging Channels you can implement real-time collaboration.
For more information, see the following blogs: Introduction to ABAP Channels and ABAP Channels Examples , and also the  ABAP Connectivity Community.
