Transcript:

00:00:01.920 --> 00:00:06.080
This is the SAP Developer News
for January 11th, 2024.

00:00:09.280 --> 00:00:11.740
The Genitive AI Hub that was
introduced a decade last year,

00:00:11.740 --> 00:00:14.230
I'm sure you've all seen my use case
in the Developer Keynote,

00:00:14.920 --> 00:00:17.360
has been released at the end
of last year and is now generally

00:00:17.360 --> 00:00:18.860
available.

00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:21.320
There are multiple models
available in the Genitive AI Hub

00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:24.740
on AI Core already,
and you can see them in your SAP AI

00:00:24.740 --> 00:00:26.020
Launchpad.

00:00:26.020 --> 00:00:28.300
For example, we have the OpenAI GPT
models.

00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:31.180
We have the OpenAI text
embedding model,

00:00:31.200 --> 00:00:33.880
and we have the open source
Falcon model available.

00:00:34.360 --> 00:00:35.860
I know of some more to come.

00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:39.460
For more information, check out Hadi
Hares' blog post on the release

00:00:39.460 --> 00:00:40.960
of the generative AI Hub.

00:00:41.080 --> 00:00:44.240
And we also have a really
cool tutorial available already

00:00:44.500 --> 00:00:49.240
by Paul Pinard, where he gives you,
like he shows you how you

00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:52.600
can configure everything,
and he also shows you some very

00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:53.640
great examples.

00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:57.400
for example, text summarization,
translation, and sentiment analysis,

00:00:57.400 --> 00:00:58.720
and a couple more.

00:00:58.720 --> 00:01:02.200
And he also shows you how you can do
good prompting,

00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:05.140
for example,
a few-shot and zero-shot prompting.

00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:07.260
So there's a lot to learn,
make sure to check it out,

00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:09.380
and the links are, as always,
in the description.

00:01:11.440 --> 00:01:14.860
There are a couple of events
coming up later this month

00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:18.610
on the topic of the SAP Business
Technology Platform.

00:01:19.080 --> 00:01:22.660
First up is a session
in a new series,

00:01:22.960 --> 00:01:26.620
an Ask Me Anything series
all about SAP BTP.

00:01:27.100 --> 00:01:31.240
This first session on Wednesday
the 17th of January,

00:01:31.260 --> 00:01:34.220
which is next week if you're watching
this news episode right now,

00:01:35.380 --> 00:01:39.860
is all about enterprise automation
and features Stefan Schluchter

00:01:39.940 --> 00:01:41.440
and Manuel Namislo.

00:01:42.020 --> 00:01:46.480
Find out all about this session
and how to join in Mayara's blog

00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:47.980
post.

00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:53.840
Then on Thursday the 25th of January,
there's the first What's New with SAP

00:01:54.980 --> 00:02:00.300
BTP session of 2024,
which covers recent innovation

00:02:00.300 --> 00:02:05.260
highlights,
including document extraction premium

00:02:05.260 --> 00:02:07.720
edition,
edge integration cell with SAP

00:02:07.720 --> 00:02:11.670
integration suites,
and also the SAP BTP guidance

00:02:11.670 --> 00:02:15.290
framework for architects, developers,
and operators.

00:02:15.940 --> 00:02:20.840
Find out all about this session
and how to join in CC's blog post.

00:02:24.720 --> 00:02:28.480
Did you know that you don't have
to know everything about the SAP BTP

00:02:28.480 --> 00:02:29.860
cockpit?

00:02:29.860 --> 00:02:32.020
That's because we provide help on
every screen.

00:02:32.710 --> 00:02:35.110
Simply click the question mark
in the upper right hand corner

00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:37.270
and it will bring up
a contextual help

00:02:37.270 --> 00:02:40.650
menu that highlights different items
on the page that you're looking

00:02:41.150 --> 00:02:43.210
at to give you guidance on how
to fill in that information.

00:02:43.830 --> 00:02:46.960
If you go to a screen where it gives
you information but you need a little

00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:49.000
more help,
you may not just want to know

00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:51.400
about what it's talking
about for importing a destination?

00:02:51.420 --> 00:02:54.740
Do you want to look at more
documentation from outside on the SAP

00:02:54.740 --> 00:02:56.240
Help Document page?

00:02:56.580 --> 00:03:00.220
All within the SAP BTP Cockpit,
you can be guided to the help

00:03:00.220 --> 00:03:01.720
that you need.

00:03:04.020 --> 00:03:07.740
Hello everyone,
SAP has released SP09 of ABAP

00:03:07.740 --> 00:03:09.260
Platform Trial on Docker.

00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:13.560
I hope all of you remember that SAP
has made ABAP Platform Trial

00:03:13.620 --> 00:03:16.290
available on Docker during SP07.

00:03:17.140 --> 00:03:21.000
ABAP Platform Trial
is a downloadable ABAP platform

00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:25.860
on SAP HANA 2.0 for trying out
the ABAP language and toolset.

00:03:26.420 --> 00:03:29.260
It is extensively
pre-configured with SAP Fiori

00:03:29.260 --> 00:03:32.860
Launchpad, SAP Cloud Connector,
pre-configured backend

00:03:32.860 --> 00:03:36.620
and frontend connections, roles,
and sample applications.

00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:41.020
It can be used by developers to get
started with ABAP language and tools

00:03:41.320 --> 00:03:44.380
or to deep dive into the new features
of ABAP.

00:03:45.040 --> 00:03:47.680
The address remains the same,
but there is a change

00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:50.840
in the password,
which is mentioned in the blog post

00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:52.340
by Julie Plummer.

00:03:52.640 --> 00:03:56.580
You can also find the prerequisites
and other details in this blog post,

00:03:56.840 --> 00:03:59.390
so don't forget to check it out
and happy learning.

00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:02.440
Hello SAP developers,
I have some exciting news

00:04:02.440 --> 00:04:05.620
on the new enhancements
added to improve the usability

00:04:05.620 --> 00:04:07.600
in the SAP Build Process Automation
tool.

00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:12.360
Robin Kivit has written a blog
explaining the three key areas

00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:14.060
of improvements in the process
editor.

00:04:14.950 --> 00:04:18.040
First off,
let's talk about the process overview

00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:19.540
area.

00:04:19.880 --> 00:04:23.180
To make it easier for you
to understand complex processes

00:04:23.180 --> 00:04:26.080
at a glance,
the process layout is redesigned

00:04:26.080 --> 00:04:29.920
to use a vertical orientation,
which makes better use of your screen

00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:30.290
space.

00:04:30.290 --> 00:04:34.260
The side panel is now collapsed
by default and can be expanded

00:04:34.290 --> 00:04:38.260
by clicking on the information icon
for global process settings

00:04:38.940 --> 00:04:41.260
or the respective step
of the process.

00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:44.700
Next up is the ease of use aspect.

00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:49.220
Now, you can simply drag and drop
individual or group of steps

00:04:49.260 --> 00:04:52.300
to the desired position
and the process will automatically

00:04:52.300 --> 00:04:55.960
adjust itself while preserving all
the sensible data mappings.

00:04:56.380 --> 00:04:59.800
This is a huge time saver,
especially during the initial stages

00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:02.760
of development or when making
adjustments later on.

00:05:03.540 --> 00:05:06.970
A new go-to-step feature
is also introduced in the flow logic

00:05:06.970 --> 00:05:09.380
section,
which allows you to easily connect

00:05:09.380 --> 00:05:12.240
to upstream or downstream steps.

00:05:13.170 --> 00:05:17.660
In the guided building experience
area, in-app help can point you

00:05:17.660 --> 00:05:19.670
to specific elements on the canvas.

00:05:20.350 --> 00:05:22.980
This will help you quickly
understand the new functionality

00:05:23.220 --> 00:05:25.940
available to you
and the context-specific help

00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:27.660
while building a process.

00:05:28.200 --> 00:05:31.260
Additionally, a selection menu
provides a better view

00:05:31.280 --> 00:05:34.400
of the available options
when adding steps or flow

00:05:34.400 --> 00:05:35.900
logic controls.

00:05:36.100 --> 00:05:38.820
These layout and usability
improvements are already

00:05:38.820 --> 00:05:43.380
available as of January 7th
in certain regions and landscapes.

00:05:43.840 --> 00:05:46.220
They will also be made
available in more regions

00:05:46.440 --> 00:05:47.940
on January 21st.

00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:52.540
And if you are a first time user
of the build process automation tool,

00:05:52.960 --> 00:05:57.380
we highly recommend checking out
our new tutorial called build

00:05:57.380 --> 00:06:01.000
your first business process
using layout and usability

00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:02.720
improvements in the process editor.

00:06:03.860 --> 00:06:06.420
If you have already tried out these
new improvements,

00:06:06.820 --> 00:06:08.620
We would love to hear your feedback.

00:06:09.660 --> 00:06:13.760
There is an anonymous feedback survey
link in the description below for you

00:06:13.760 --> 00:06:15.260
to share your thoughts.

00:06:16.080 --> 00:06:19.980
Check out this blog post to learn
more about the enhancements

00:06:19.980 --> 00:06:22.920
and features planned for release
this year.

00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:25.060
Hello, everybody.

00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:29.040
I once again wish you all
a joyful New Year 2024.

00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:33.320

00:06:33.320 --> 00:06:34.820
SAP developer news.

Joule, SAP's new generative AI
copilot,

00:06:38.960 --> 00:06:43.300
a game changer that's going to change
the way we are interacting with SAP

00:06:43.300 --> 00:06:44.800
systems.

00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:48.560
You ask any logical questions,
and Joule gets back to you

00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:51.920
with the smart answers,

00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:53.040
decisions.

00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:57.520
Joule is now embedded
into the entire SAP Cloud portfolio.

00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:01.520
Joule product documentation
covering what is Joule,

00:07:01.760 --> 00:07:05.740
its initial setup, feature scope,
and capabilities

00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:08.380
including
security-relevant information is now

00:07:08.380 --> 00:07:10.420
available on SAP Help Portal.

00:07:11.140 --> 00:07:14.150
This is sure to enhance the developer
experience.

00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:16.700
Enjoy learning and take care.
