We have released new versions of the SAP Cloud SDK. In detail, the following components are now available in new versions:

• Java libraries in version 3.32.0


• JavaScript libraries in version 1.31.0


• Continuous delivery toolkit in version v44

In this blog post, we will walk you through the highlights of these releases. For a complete overview, visit our release notes for the Java libraries, for the JavaScript libraries, and for the continuous delivery toolkit. The release notes also include the change log of all our releases so far.
At the end of the article, you will find a set of instructions on how to update to the new versions.

Java Libraries: Release Highlights 3.32.0

You can update your dependencies of the SAP Cloud SDK for Java to version 3.32.0 and get the new version from Maven Central.

This release contains an updated OData client library to match the newest release 2011 of SAP S/4HANA Cloud. The SDK supports all OData services listed in the SAP API Business Hub.

We also released new pre-generated type-safe client libraries for the OData v4 services available in the latest RTC release 2020 of SAP S/4HANA On-premise.

Several further improvements are listed in the full release notes.

JavaScript Libraries: Release Highlights 1.31.0

The JavaScript libraries of the SAP Cloud SDK are now available in version 1.31.0.

Like for Java, the SDK for JavaScript also contains an updated client library for the newest release 2011 of SAP S/4HANA Cloud.

Starting with this release, most public methods using variable arguments also accept arrays as input.

We removed the dependency to rambda and save approx 2MB or 10% of the SDK size.

As usual, the full release notes contain a list of all improvements in this release.

Continuous Delivery Toolkit: Release Highlights v44

We have also released version v44 of our out-of-the-box continuous delivery offering consisting of a ready-made Jenkins server and a complete delivery toolkit.

In the recent releases we keep consolidating the configuration format in alignment with the related services offered on SAP Cloud Platform.

You can find further details in the complete release notes.

How to Update

Java libraries

To update the version of the SAP Cloud SDK Java libraries used in an existing project, proceed as follows:

• Open the pom.xml file in the root folder of your project.


• Locate the dependency management section and therein the sdk-bom dependency.


• Update the version of that dependency to 3.32.0.

With this, you are already done thanks to the "bill of material" (BOM) approach. Your dependency should look like this:

<dependencyManagement>

    <dependencies>

        <dependency>

            <groupId>com.sap.cloud.sdk</groupId>

            <artifactId>sdk-bom</artifactId>

            <version>3.32.0</version>

            <type>pom</type>

            <scope>import</scope>

        </dependency>

    </dependencies>

    <!-- possibly further managed dependencies ... -->

</dependencyManagement>

If you update from a version prior to 3.0.0, have a look at our migration guide.

If you are using the SAP Cloud SDK in a project of the SAP Cloud Application Programming Model, replace sdk-bom with sdk-modules-bom to only update the version of SDK modules, not further dependencies.
You can now recompile your project (be aware of the compatibility notes, though) and leverage the new features of the SAP Cloud SDK in version 3.32.0.

Of course, you can also generate a new project that uses version 3.32.0 from the start by running the Maven archetypes for Neo or Cloud Foundry with -DarchetypeVersion=3.32.0 (or RELEASE).

JavaScript libraries

To update the version of the SAP Cloud SDK JavaScript libraries used in an existing project, use the command npm update in the root folder of your module. Note that this will also update other modules, unless you explicitly specify which packages to update. If you want to check beforehand what will change, use npm outdated.

Continuous Delivery Toolkit

If you are using the pipeline with a fixed version (as recommended since v7), update the continuous delivery toolkit with the following command, that you run on the server hosting the cx-server:

./cx-server update image
