23.05.23: ABAP Environment release 2305 23.02.23: DSAG ABAP developer day for Microsoft integrations with SAP’s engineering team |
Dear community,
Building on Frank’s “BTP ABAP Environment on Azure” release announcement we will take you on a journey of various Microsoft integration scenarios with ABAP over the coming weeks. Excited yet?🤩
Using the language flavor “ABAP Cloud” ensures you’re set for the future no matter in which deployment style you are in today. Plain cloud or “embedded” living next to your ERP – you choose. Below integration scenarios are inter-changeable.
All presented scenarios rely on the RESTful ABAP Programming Model (RAP) exposing an OData service.
Reproduce for free with BTP free tier, Azure trial, and M365 developer sandbox.
