Writing new integrations in ABAP *on stack* in 2025 is a lot like inviting people over to your house

Should you do it? Can you do it? Sure. Absolutely even.

But if you let too much come and go - you could have a real mess

Lots of anguish about H1-B n the US

Big shakeups are undoubtedly coming to US - based SAP projects because of it

It is very common for 80-90 percent of SAP roles on US projects to be a past or present immigrants from India

Even common in US govt and defense roles where US Citizenship is reqd

Since earlier this year I’ve been tinkering again with blockchain/digital asset integrations with SAP

Initial results of the MVP/Poc I have are looking good.

Even if you typically write off the web3 domain you should find it interesting - particularly if you like cryptography

You will see soon!

What’s an underrated non-technical green flag in SAP Basis admins?

I’ll start:
An obsession with Rube Goldberg machines

Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night from this nightmare from my past

It’s 2019 and the SAP S4 project I am on requires *every* REST API be created with SAP PI/PO

The EA banned oData services from consideration. Even the standard ones 😖😣

Randomly got some http 400 JSON serialization errors in a SAP CAP project this week

Double checked the payload and http handlers. No obvious flaws or issues

Updated all the node modules. Problem solved.

Not entirely sure why it worked - but I guess thats kudos to keeping apps up to date!

Here’s little issue I found with CAP and BTP destinations

If your destination has the property ‘HTML5.forwardAuthToken’ set to true - you are very likely to have issues using CAP’s native ‘cds.connect.to’

More cases than not - leave it off. Unless a specific oauth flow is mandatory

Hey

anybody here ever sent an RFC message to a kubernetes app on SAP BTP?

ABAP RAP and CAP Origin mythology

One day a pretty technical MD decided to build a little project in ABAP

All he wanted to do was to send a little POST body using a React frontend

After about 13 hours fiddling between ADT Eclipse crashing and SEGW doing bizarre things - things needed to change

2025 SAP BTP prediction

SAP’s Digital Currency Hub will have a bigger-than-ever presence at SAPPHIRE - as the incoming US admin is friendly to crypto

They will also debut a dog as their mascot!

One of the very simple reasons I now prefer CAP to building apps in ABAP is : cryptography

With CAP - you can easily integrate any kind of private keys for hashing, digitally signing, encrypting/decrypting, proving/verifying data

A big differentiator for building network-driven products in btp

I find it hilarious so many SAP influencers are speaking up so passionately AGAINST Hungarian notation so common in legacy ABAP code today

When I began my career in ABAP years ago - *not using* Hungarian notation as described by the TheHolyCompanyABAPStd2007.doc was grounds for public ridicule
