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.

Matt Harding @hardingmatt.bsky.social · 14d

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...

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.

It is nice to see the people and the content for more engagement. It's like a QR code was shared also and then the sap logo was added over the top making it useless... Maybe do multi angle for developers with large screens who want 4k?

Matt Harding @hardingmatt.bsky.social · 16d

1080p screen resolution is great but then you need to not shrink it down... Here's the one I saw. And with ADT, 720p it way too big...https://youtu.be/b9lmZHp2WaA?si=9oS098ZqE_LiEuWN

I think SAP need to pay for the license to record 4k video for TechEd/Devtoberfest - Seeing blurry computer screens of code isn't great for learning...That said, lots of good stuff coming our way!

And sorry to annoy those who prefer "an S.A.P...." but Sap RAP sounds cooler...

Matt Harding @hardingmatt.bsky.social · 21d

S/4 Public question: Can you extend a SAP RAP object beyond custom fields/objects with a 1..n selection (like a list of available colours)? Is there any way to do this without creating a developer extension of all related Fiori apps and repointing at the wrapped RAP object (if that is an option?)

Matt Harding @hardingmatt.bsky.social · 23d

It used to do it about 5 years ago too so surprised this feature is back!

SCN is doing that thing again where if you click on a link you've saved to an SCN blog and are not logged in, you lose the URL and it takes you to the home page (but at least the logon is reasonably fast I suppose)

Search by DDLA type or drill down on annotations - How could this be the first I've seen these tips (maybe wasn't in 2022 S/4)?
