🚀 SAP TechEd 2026: Agentic analytics & planning in BDC
Vision → Autonomous decision systems steered by humans (less prep, more strategy via Knowledge Graph + simulations)
Dropping Q4 ’26*: SAC agents that run full workflows
• Planning & Simulation Agent
• Insights Agent
• Narrative Agent
• Modeling Agent
• Data Action Design Agent
Joule gets plan/analytical powers. Agents sit on headless APIs.
*Subject to change #SAPTechEd #SAPBDC

SAC's AI-assisted prompt is live since the Q3 QRC and in Base AI, so no extra AI Units 👍 Place it beside a table to explain variances. Explore it before Joule and more agents land next QRC 🚀 #SAPAnalyticsCloud #BusinessAI #SAPBDC discovery-center-dev.cfapps.… community.sap.com/t5/technol…

If you've been destroying sand castles of other kids at the beach for years destroying sand castles in France is just another ordinary day.
If you've build a sand castle yourself and you see other people's sand castles being destroyed in France you feel their pain.

There's an oldschool 0-day Remote Code Execution in PHP, most likely patchable in a day.
Ánd 8 private keys of intermediate certificates have been leaked. Those are already patched in auto update systems. But we all know how many things don't auto-update...
BRACE FOR IMPACT!

During #SAP #BusinessObjects patching, "running command" can run in seconds or minutes. But it can also run for hours. Anyone know how to correct the behavior? See my question on @SAPCommunity.
