Q3-2024 release: SAP Business AI for IT and platforms
With the 2024 Q3 release, development teams can now automatically create integration flows in the SAP Integration Suite. All they have to do is describe the integration scenario. The tool then creates an integration flow with preconfigured connectors based on their description and input. This allows processes, services, applications, events and data to be quickly integrated into heterogeneous system landscapes, thereby increasing productivity. With over 3600 preconfigured integration flows, users can reduce the time required to design integrations to a third. With SAP Build Code, the SAP solution for code development using generative AI, applications can be developed up to 30 percent faster.
The integration of the Joule wizard, which is optimized for the development of Java and JavaScript applications, provides a ready-to-use environment for programming, testing, integration and application lifecycle management. Since the third quarter, development teams can also use Joule to generate code for integrated SAP S/4 Hana cloud services. This involves creating a full-stack application, then importing an external S/4 Cloud service and defining the data model and services with Joule. Development teams can also use Joule to extend the previously created data model by adding associations between the external SAP S/4 Hana Cloud entity and local entities and then deploying the external entity to a local service via a projection. Adding an association between the Books entity and the external entity with Joule in SAP Build Code Joule also supports the creation of custom logic for reading data from the associated external entity and performing other operations on the deployed external entity.
Another new feature is that the new language-based SQL console in SAP Business Application Studio is now used to generate Hana SQL statements when developing SAP Hana database applications. The statements are based on the requirements entered in natural language in a prompt that can be executed directly in the SQL console. The generated statement contains the correct Hana syntax. The new console can increase the productivity of development teams by up to 20 percent by reducing the learning curve for SQL and enabling efficient data retrieval through the use of natural language.
