SAP Cloud ALM – What’s New in Week 4

SAP Cloud ALM continues into the new year with updates that focus on clarity, control, and data-driven insight.

The week 4 release introduces deeper transformation readiness in SAP Business Transformation Center, new data-focused KPIs and analysis capabilities in RISE with SAP Methodology, extended monitoring and validation options in Operations, and smarter automation and collaboration features in Implementation.

Together, these enhancements help teams make better decisions, keep systems clean and efficient, and manage transformations and operations with greater confidence and precision.

SAP Business Transformation Center – Modeling

The latest update in the SAP Business Transformation Center further strengthens data migration reliability by extending automatic checks to customer-specific standard texts. This enhancement ensures that important business content is not unintentionally left behind during transformation projects.

Automatic Detection and Migration of Customer-Specific Standard Texts

SAP Business Transformation Center now automatically detects and migrates customer-specific standard texts from the SAP ERP source system. These texts are identified via a new Unknown Standard Texts Check in the Manage Transformation Models app and are evaluated as part of the Transformation Model Readiness process.

If standard texts are found that are not part of the standard SAP ERP content, custom transformation objects are created automatically. These objects are included in the migration scope by default, but can be reviewed and explicitly included or excluded, giving teams full transparency and control before proceeding with data migration.

This check is tightly integrated into the overall Transformation Model Readiness status. A transformation model version can only be created once all readiness activities – including connectivity, unknown change documents, and unknown standard texts – are completed successfully. This prevents incomplete or inconsistent migrations and reduces the risk of rework later in the project.

TL;DR:

Customer-specific standard texts are now detected and handled automatically during transformation model readiness, ensuring no relevant texts are missed and giving teams clear control over what enters the migration scope.

RISE with SAP Methodology – System View, Customer Objects

The latest updates in the RISE with SAP Methodology area further strengthen transparency and insight into clean core adoption. With new dashboards, tabs, and deeper drill-down capabilities, teams can now move more seamlessly from high-level KPIs to detailed analyses of data efficiency and customer objects. These enhancements make it easier to assess technical debt, prioritize improvement areas, and steer systems toward long-term clean core compliance with confidence.

New Data Tab in System View

The System View dashboard in SAP Cloud ALM has been expanded with a new Data tab, adding data-focused KPIs to the clean core methodology. This update introduces the first data pillar, Data Volume Efficiency, helping teams better understand, monitor, and optimize data usage in their systems.

At the center is the Data Volume Efficiency score, which evaluates how efficiently data is managed in productive SAP S/4HANA and SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition environments. The score is calculated based on several dedicated KPI cards:

  • HANA Memory
  • HANA Disk
  • Unused Data
  • Redundant Data
  • Outdated Data
  • Custom Table Footprint

By combining these KPIs, the Data tab provides a clear, consolidated view of data growth and quality. This makes it easier to identify concrete follow-up actions – such as archiving, cleanup, or data deletion – to improve system performance, reduce costs, and keep landscapes fit for innovation.

The Data Volume Efficiency score and KPIs are available only for productive systems, and all technical prerequisites must be fulfilled for the cards to display data.

TL;DR:

The new Data tab in System View adds data-related clean core KPIs, enabling better visibility into data volume, clearer optimization priorities, and improved cost and system efficiency management.

New Customer Objects App

A new Customer Objects app is now available under the RISE with SAP Methodology page on the SAP Cloud ALM launchpad. This new dashboard provides a dedicated deep dive into extensibility and clean core compliance, building on the KPIs already available in the System View.

The Customer Objects dashboard allows teams to analyze customer-specific developments in much greater detail. It complements the high-level view with object-level insights, making it easier to understand where technical debt exists and which extensions require attention. Both the Customer Objects and Referenced SAP Objects table views include key information such as:

  • Clean Core Level
  • Technical Debt Score and Technical Debt Share
  • Level B, C, and D findings
  • Classification of objects
  • Total references

This level of transparency helps development, architecture, and operations teams prioritize remediation efforts, distinguish between upgrade-stable and critical extensions, and plan modernization steps more effectively.

TL;DR:

The new Customer Objects app adds a deep-dive view on extensibility, giving detailed insight into clean core levels, technical debt, and findings for customer objects – making it easier to analyze, prioritize, and modernize extensions.

Direct Access to Customer Objects from System View

Access to the Customer Objects deep-dive dashboard is now fully integrated into the System View of SAP Cloud ALM. This enhancement makes it easier to move from high-level clean core insights directly into detailed object analysis without switching context.

From the Extensibility tab in the System View, selecting the Level B Objects, Level C Objects, or Level D Objects cards now takes you straight to the Customer Objects dashboard. The data is automatically pre-filtered for both the selected system and the chosen clean core level, enabling a smooth drill-down from overview KPIs to object-level findings.

This tighter integration supports faster analysis of technical debt and extensibility risks, helping teams quickly identify which customer objects require modernization or corrective action.

Data is only displayed if the latest ABAP Test Cockpit (ATC) check results have been imported by a dashboard administrator. Without up-to-date ATC data, the Customer Objects dashboard remains empty.

TL;DR:

The System View now links directly to the Customer Objects dashboard, enabling one-click drill-down from clean core KPIs to detailed object analysis – pre-filtered by system and clean core level.

Operations – Job & Automation Monitoring, Integration & Exception Monitoring, Business Process Monitoring

Not Contains Filter Option for Monitoring and Analysis Filters

Filtering in Job & Automation Monitoring has become more flexible. A new Not Contains condition is now available for the Executed By and Scheduled By filters in Monitoring and Analysis view.

By adding an exclamation mark (!) before a value, operations teams can explicitly exclude jobs or automations based on who executed or scheduled them. This makes it easier to narrow down results, remove noise from large job lists, and focus on the executions that actually matter for analysis or troubleshooting in SAP Cloud ALM.

For example, filtering with !ABC for Executed By and !XYZ for Scheduled By will show only those jobs that were not executed by ABC and not scheduled by XYZ.

TL;DR:

Use the new Not Contains filter to exclude specific executors or schedulers and refine job and automation analysis more precisely.

Enhanced Category Selection in Generic Integration Monitoring Analytics API

The Generic Integration Monitoring Analytics API has been enhanced to support more flexible analysis scenarios. It is now possible to select up to five categories (messageType) within a single API call. Previously, each call was limited to just one category, often requiring multiple requests to retrieve a broader view.

This improvement reduces the number of API calls needed for analytics, simplifies reporting logic, and enables more efficient aggregation of integration data across multiple message types in SAP Cloud ALM.

To ensure stable performance, the API enforces a limit: if more than five categories are selected, the request returns a 412 response.

TL;DR:

The Integration Monitoring Analytics API now supports up to five categories per call, enabling more efficient and flexible integration analytics with fewer requests.

Business Process Monitoring KPIs for Commodity Expense Management and Foreign Exchange Risk Management for commodity businesses

  • Exposures Released
  • Exposures with Errors
  • Hedge Requests Canceled
  • Hedge Requests Pending Approval
  • Hedge Requests Sent for Trading
  • Hedge Requests Trade Completed
  • Open Hedge Requests

Note: These KPIs are not part of the standard end-to-end processes. To use them, first create a custom process and assign the relevant KPIs.

TL;DR:

New KPIs for commodity expense and foreign exchange risk management provide detailed visibility into accruals, settlements, exposures, and hedge activities – enabling stronger monitoring and faster issue resolution when assigned to custom processes.

Implementation – Features, Documents, Cross-Project Overview       

This week’s updates in the Implementation area focus on automation, integration, and efficiency across the project lifecycle. New APIs and workflow integrations improve how features, documents, and approvals are managed, while usability enhancements in analytics and cross-project views help teams find, filter, and act on information faster. Together, these improvements reduce manual effort and support more streamlined, scalable project execution.

Feature Status Updates via Features API

The Features API has been enhanced to allow teams to update the status of features programmatically. This enables tighter integration with external tools, automated workflows, and CI/CD pipelines, reducing the need for manual status updates in the UI.

Using the API, feature statuses can now be switched to the following states:

  • Not Planned
  • In Specification
  • In Implementation
  • In Testing
  • Successfully Tested
  • Deployed

One important exception remains: the transition from Successfully Tested to Ready for Production is intentionally excluded from the API and must still be performed directly in the Features app. This ensures an explicit review step before production readiness is confirmed.

This enhancement is particularly useful for teams aiming to automate release processes, synchronize feature status with development tools, or keep SAP Cloud ALM aligned with external delivery pipelines.

TL;DR:

The Features API now supports automated feature status updates for most lifecycle stages, enabling better integration and reduced manual effort – while keeping final production readiness under controlled review.

Integration of SAP Build Process Automation for External Approval Procedures in Documents

Document approvals in SAP Cloud ALM can now be extended with external workflow integration using SAP Build Process Automation. This new approval procedure allows document approval processes to run outside SAP Cloud ALM while remaining fully connected to the Documents app.

When external workflow integration is enabled, approval requests are handed over to SAP Build Process Automation, where approvers receive their tasks directly in their BPA inbox. Approval workflows can be tailored to organizational needs, including:

  • Single or multiple approvers
  • Parallel or sequential approval steps
  • Email notifications
  • Conditional logic based on document type or tags

Once the workflow is designed and deployed in SAP Build Process Automation, it can be connected back to SAP Cloud ALM and used seamlessly for document approvals.

TL;DR:

Document approvals can now be handled via SAP Build Process Automation, enabling flexible, customizable external workflows while keeping documents managed centrally in SAP Cloud ALM.

Faster Navigation in Process Hierarchy Assignment

The Process Hierarchy Assignment app now includes a search field, making it easier to work with large and complex hierarchies in SAP Cloud ALM.

Users can quickly find process hierarchy nodes by title or ID, reducing manual scrolling and speeding up cross-project assignments – especially helpful when managing extensive process structures across multiple projects.

TL;DR:

Search hierarchy nodes by title or ID in the Process Hierarchy Assignment app for quicker navigation and easier cross-project work.

Administration – Landscape Management

New clean-up option for obsolete customers and systems

Managing landscapes stays clean and accurate with a new clean-up option for obsolete customers and systems in SAP Cloud ALM. SAP Cloud ALM now automatically flags customer numbers and systems that are no longer part of the daily backend import and marks them clearly as obsolete with a red indicator in the Landscape Management tables.

This situation can occur for several reasons, such as changes to SAP Cloud ALM customer numbers, updates to customer numbers of managed cloud systems, removals from the SAP Corporate Group, or missing authorizations of the S-user used for landscape synchronization.

Using the Configuration view in Landscape Management, administrators can now permanently delete obsolete customer numbers, their related systems, and all associated assignments. In addition, individual obsolete systems can be removed selectively, provided they no longer have any active use cases. This helps keep the landscape lean, avoids confusion, and ensures that only relevant and actively used systems remain visible.

TL;DR:

Landscape Management now highlights obsolete customers and systems and allows administrators to safely delete them, keeping SAP Cloud ALM landscapes clean, accurate, and up to date.

Cross-Area Update – Increased Memory and API Data Transfer

To better support larger landscapes and more advanced monitoring scenarios, SAP Cloud ALM now provides significantly increased baseline resources per tenant. The available SAP HANA memory and monthly data transfer for outbound APIs have been expanded from 8 GB to 24 GB.

This increase applies equally to:

  • Base tenants included with Enterprise Support
  • Tenants provided via the SAP Cloud ALM tenant extension

The enhancement is effective for both existing tenants and all newly provisioned tenants, ensuring immediate benefits without additional configuration. With more memory and higher data transfer limits, teams can handle larger datasets, enable richer monitoring scenarios, and integrate outbound APIs more comfortably without hitting resource constraints.

TL;DR:

  • Upgrade History – Displays completed upgrade and update events over time.

Together, these KPIs help teams better understand how often systems are upgraded and how much downtime upgrades typically introduce. This insight supports more informed planning of future upgrades, improved maintenance scheduling, and clearer communication with stakeholders about system availability. 

Restrictions to note: 

In certain scenarios, these cards may appear empty due to technical limitations: 

  • For SAP S/4HANA systems, required historical data may be unavailable, even if lifecycle events (such as conversions or upgrades) have occurred. 
  • For SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud systems without lifecycle events yet, the information may also be unavailable. 

In these cases, no action or support request is required. 

TL;DR: 

Two new System View KPIs – Technical Downtime per Upgrade and Upgrade History – provide better insight into past upgrades and downtime, helping teams plan future upgrades more effectively. 

Operations – Business Process Monitoring, Business Service Management, Configuration & Security Analysis, Integration & Exception Monitoring

The latest updates in the Operations area focus on stronger governance, clearer insights, and easier system lifecycle management.

These restrictions apply across the Home, Monitoring, Configuration, and Alerting pages and complement existing access group settings within Business Process Monitoring. 

Custom Process Enhancements 

Working with custom processes is now more efficient and user-friendly. Processes can be copied to speed up configuration, KPI assignment provides additional attributes such as KPI ID and source (standard or custom), and custom process nodes can be pinned to the Home page as favorites for quick access. 

New KPI for SAP Revenue Growth Management 

A new KPI, Promotions Created, is now available for SAP Revenue Growth Management. Once the required setup steps are completed, the KPI is activated automatically. As it’s not part of the standard end-to-end processes, it must be assigned to a custom process to be monitored.

TL;DR: 

Business Process Monitoring now enforces landscape-based access control, offers richer and more reusable custom process handling, and adds a new KPI for SAP Revenue Growth Management – improving security, usability, and business insight. 

Impact Reassessment for Status Events – Business Service Management

Business Service Management now supports Impact Reassessment directly in the Event Calendar. This enhancement allows teams to reassess the impact of status events – such as disruptions or degradations – after detection and resolution, especially in cases where events were identified as false positives and notifications can no longer be changed. 

With impact reassessment, additional context can be documented in a text field, and the reassessment is treated as a status update for the event. Once updated, the changes are reflected consistently across the system, including the event’s end time, overview cards, the Event Calendar or tabular views, and the action logs. Any configured event actions are also triggered based on the updated information. 

TL;DR: 

Impact Reassessment enables teams to correct and document false-positive status events, with updates automatically reflected across calendars, dashboards, logs, and event actions. 

Enhanced Compliance Visibility and Check Transparency – Configuration & Security Analysis

Configuration & Security Analysis now provides clearer, more actionable insights into compliance status across both Data Stores and Validation.

The new metrics are also factored into the card color calculation, making compliance issues immediately visible. From the overview, users can jump straight to the relevant check results in the Validation app for deeper analysis.

At the same time, the Configuration & Security Analysis – Validation app now offers richer detail for each check result. Selecting an entry in the Check Results table opens a side panel with comprehensive information, including the check description, severity, related store and topic, and runtime context such as affected systems, configuration items, and values. Warnings and critical findings are clearly highlighted to support faster remediation.

TL;DR: 

Compliance status is now visible directly on overview cards, and detailed check insights are available in Validation – making it easier to spot issues quickly and understand exactly what needs attention. 

Central Clean-Up for Integration & Exception Monitoring

A new clean-up option is now available for Integration & Exception Monitoring directly from the Landscape Management app. Using the Clean-Up action, administrators can remove both configuration and collected monitoring data for a specific service or system in a single step. 

This option is available in the Actions column under Services/Systems à Supported Use Cases in Landscape Management. Once executed, the configuration for Integration & Exception Monitoring is deleted, all related monitoring data is removed, and the service or system is reset to a Not Configured state.

This enhancement simplifies lifecycle management, making it easier to retire systems, reset configurations, or clean up obsolete monitoring data without navigating multiple apps. 

TL;DR: 

Integration & Exception Monitoring configurations and data can now be centrally removed via Landscape Management, resetting services or systems to a clean, unconfigured state. 

Implementation – Retrofit, Features, Requirements, Test Execution, Test Preparation

The latest updates in the Implementation area focus on improving structure, traceability, and efficiency across projects. From stronger support for retrofitting and AI-assisted requirements, to enhanced testing, document handling, and project organization, these enhancements help teams work more consistently, reduce manual effort, and maintain better control throughout the implementation lifecycle. 

New app: Retrofit

A new Retrofit app is now available in SAP Cloud ALM, designed to support dual-track (n+1) development landscapes. The app enables the synchronization of changed objects – both customizing and workbench – from a maintenance development system into an implementation development system, helping teams keep parallel tracks aligned.

Retrofit is especially valuable in landscapes where maintenance and innovation run in parallel. Instead of manually moving transport requests between systems, the app detects differences automatically and supports controlled synchronization, including conflict detection when the same object has been changed in both tracks. This reduces risk, avoids overwriting changes unintentionally, and improves transparency in complex release scenarios. 

Currently, the Retrofit app supports CTS-managed landscapes and provides a structured way to manage ongoing maintenance fixes alongside new project developments – ensuring that system versions stay consistent over time without slowing down delivery. 

TL;DR: 

The new Retrofit app simplifies synchronization between maintenance and project systems in dual-track landscapes, helping teams manage parallel changes, detect conflicts, and keep releases aligned. 

Retrofit Integration in Transports – Features

Retrofit capabilities are integrated directly into the Features, making it easier to track retrofit relevance without leaving your current context. In the Transports section, a new Retrofit Status column shows the retrofit status of source transports. 

The status values are aligned with those in the Retrofit app and include an additional Not Applicable status for transports that don’t require retrofitting. This gives teams immediate visibility into whether a transport needs attention, helping them manage dual-track landscapes more efficiently. 

If retrofit isn’t configured for the landscape, the Retrofit Status column is hidden, keeping the interface clean and relevant. For users with the required authorizations, the header also provides a direct navigation link to the Retrofit app, allowing quick follow-up and deeper analysis when needed.

TL;DR: 

Retrofit status is visible directly in the Transports view, giving instant insight into which transports require retrofitting and enabling quick navigation to the Retrofit app. 

Smarter Requirement Creation and Reuse – Requirements

Two new enhancements in the Requirements area make it easier to create and manage requirements across projects, reducing manual effort while improving reuse and consistency. 

AI-Assisted Requirement Generation 

SAP Cloud ALM now supports AI-generated requirements based on existing project context. The AI uses inputs such as Fit-to-Standard workshop transcripts, solution processes, and related project documents to propose requirement content. This helps teams accelerate requirement creation, ensure better alignment with documented discussions, and reduce the risk of missing key points early in the project lifecycle. 

Move Requirements Between Projects 

Requirements can now be moved from one project to another. This is especially useful when scopes change, projects are restructured, or requirements need to be reused across initiatives. Instead of recreating content, teams can simply transfer existing requirements and continue working without losing history or context.

TL;DR: 

Create requirements faster with AI-generated content based on project documents, and move requirements between projects to support reuse and changing scopes. 

Enhanced Test Preparation and Execution with Evidence Support

Several improvements across Test Preparation and Test Execution make manual testing more structured, traceable, and audit-ready. During test preparation, test designers can now define which test actions require testers to provide screenshots as evidence during execution. This ensures a clear and verifiable record of what was tested and the actual results for critical steps.

On the execution side, this evidence concept is now fully enforced. For manual test cases, testers are required to upload screenshots for actions where evidence is mandatory, while still being able to add screenshots optionally for other actions. This new evidence handling replaces the former Comments field, providing a more consistent and outcome-focused way to document test results.

In addition, the generation of manual test cases from solution process flow diagrams has been refined. The activity sequence now more closely matches the order of solution activities in the diagram, reducing manual rework and making test cases easier to follow. Test cases can also be linked directly to relevant project documents, ensuring testers have the necessary context and guidance at hand during preparation and execution.

TL;DR: 

Define mandatory screenshot evidence in test preparation, enforce evidence capture during test execution, benefit from improved activity sequencing, and link relevant documents to test cases for clearer, more reliable manual testing. 

Administration – Landscape Management

The latest enhancements in the Administration area focus on improving system maintainability and clarity. Updates in Landscape Management help optimize memory usage while also making it easier to clearly identify cloud service tenants – supporting administrators in keeping landscapes clean, compliant, and easy to manage. 

Action Log Housekeeping for Memory Optimization

To reduce unnecessary data growth, SAP Cloud ALM now automatically cleans up Landscape Object–related action logs that are older than 90 days. This housekeeping runs in the background and helps optimize memory usage without manual effort from administrators. 

Importantly, logs that are required for security purposes (such as Access Control) or legal reasons (for example, data transfer consent) are excluded from deletion and are retained indefinitely. 

TL;DR: 

Old landscape action logs are automatically cleaned up after 90 days, improving memory usage while keeping security- and compliance-relevant logs intact. 

Enhanced Tenant Identification for Cloud Services

Identifying cloud service tenants is now clearer thanks to enhanced default descriptions in Landscape Management. For service types where tenant names alone aren’t sufficient, SAP Cloud ALM automatically enriches the description with an additional identifying attribute – such as the sub-account display name.
