Welcome to the first SAP Cloud ALM<\/a> update blog of 2025! As we embark on a new year, SAP continues its commitment to innovation and user-centric improvements in Cloud ALM. This bi-weekly<\/a> update series keeps you informed about the latest enhancements, features, and optimizations. In this edition, we’ll delve into the highlights from the updates rolled out during week 2 and week 4, showcasing how SAP is enhancing the ALM experience to help you work smarter and achieve more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAP Business Transformation Center<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s now possible to use Cloud Integration Automation Service (CIAS)<\/strong> to onboard the source and target systems for use with SAP Business Transformation Center. This service guides through the workflow and contains instructions for the manual and automated tasks, enabling an easy and quick integration configuration setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Modeling<\/strong> has 2 new features available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is now a new tab called \u201cFilters\u201d in the Transformation Object Details<\/strong> app, where is displayed a list of all transformation filters applied to a selected transformation object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There is also a new tab called \u201cSolution Patterns<\/strong>\u201d in the Manage Transformation Model<\/strong> app, where are displays a list of the solution patterns applied to a selected transformation model. A \u201cSolution Patterns\u201d tab is also available in the Transformation Model Versions<\/strong> app, where it displays which solution patterns have been applied to the corresponding transformation model version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution pattern that SAP Business Transformation Center currently offers is time slice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Scoping<\/strong> allows now to use the time slice<\/strong> solution pattern to selectively exclude data before a defined fiscal year from migration scope, while ensuring that data related to open items, even if outside the time slice, is included. This allows to reduce the migration scope only to data that is necessary for operational, reporting or auditing purposes. This data reduction not only simplifies the migration process but also ensures a more relevant and valuable dataset at the end of the migration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Implementation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Test Preparation<\/strong> enhanced it\u2019s feature inserting images to test cases. Images that are inserted in test case are now retained when downloading and reuploading the test case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Projects and Setup<\/strong> allows now to search by the system title or ID in the selection list of System Groups tab. This helps in finding the preferred system in a long list of systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Analytics<\/strong> displays now all deliverables that are not completed by using the \u201cNot Completed\u201d button in the Deliverables tab of the Project Progress Reporting app. By default, the \u201cAll\u201d button is enabled to show all deliverables. Additionally, the \u201cCompleted\u201d button shows all completed deliverables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In Features<\/strong>, a Cross-Reference Check now includes object conflict details. In the \u201cCheck Details\u201d view when selecting the conflict reason, now displays detailed information on how to solve the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Features also allows now to download transport check results<\/strong> of all the conflicting or missing objects belonging to the same check type and target tenant in a single spreadsheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guided Implementation<\/strong> has 4 new features available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • It\u2019s now possible to manage the quality gates of a project in the app to ensure that all phase-specific quality criteria are met. The quality gate status and the checklist completion are now shown. Use the newly added link \u201cGo to Checklist\u201d to navigate to the Tasks app.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Phases without tasks are now clearly indicated. If no roadmap was selected for a new project that just has tasks in the Prepare phase, all other phases are hidden in the tab bar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • There are now icons for the different item types and statuses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • A filter for quality gate statuses was added to the app.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
          \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

          Process Authoring<\/strong> has new \u201cUsage Status\u201d filter in the list of solution activities. If there\u2019s a need to delete solution activities, for example after performing a migration, a new filter helps to simplify the process. As it\u2019s only possible to delete solution activities that are not used in a solution process, filter allows to display all activities that are not used anywhere. This gives opportunity to choose \u201cSelect All\u201d in the list and delete all unused entries at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

          Process Authoring<\/strong> introduced also a two-step deletion process for custom solution processes using archiving to prevent users from unintentionally deleting data by mistake. It behaves slightly differently depending on the versions that exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • If a custom solution process has draft and published<\/strong> versions, it\u2019s possible to either choose to delete its draft directly or archive the custom solution process. Keep in mind that only unscoped custom solution processes can be set to Archived<\/strong> in Process Authoring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • If a solution process has a draft<\/strong> version only, it\u2019s possible to delete this draft directly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • If a solution process has a published<\/strong> version only, it\u2019s necessary to first archive the process and then delete it in a subsequent step.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            Archived processes can then either be deleted or set back to active by choosing the \u201cRestore\u201d button. Restored custom solution processes are handled in the same way as active, unscoped custom solution processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Archived custom solution processes have the prefix [Archived] added to their title in the list of solution processes in the Processes app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            When a custom solution process has been archived, it\u2019s no longer possible to edit its details, related diagrams or elements. Creating new diagrams, publishing and copying is also no longer possible unless restoring it to an active state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Archived solution processes can no longer be scoped or mass edited, it\u2019s not possible to change their status, Process Owner or Tag assignments in the Processes app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

            Tasks <\/strong>has also 2 new features available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • Tasks allows now to use the spreadsheet upload to assign quality gates to project tasks and to assign requirements to user stories.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • It\u2019s now possible to assign responsible teams to checklist items.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
              \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

              Operations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              Real User Monitoring<\/strong> continues to evolve, now extending its capabilities to include several new supported solutions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              • SAP Task Center<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • SAP Data Quality Management, microservices for location data<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • SAP Predictive Replenishment<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • SAP Build Work Zone, standard edition<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • SAP Build Work Zone, advanced edition<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • SAP SuccessFactors Work Zone<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • SAP Cloud Portal service<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                Job & Automation Monitoring<\/strong> has new filters available in Analysis page, to further refine the jobs and automations displayed. Filters can be found under \u201cAdditional filters\u201d, and they are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                • Step\/Executable<\/strong>: Filter by the step\/executable name of the job or automation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Executed By<\/strong>: Filter by the user who has executed the job or automation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Scheduled By<\/strong>: Filter by the user who has scheduled the job or automation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                  \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                  In Intelligent Event Processing<\/strong>, it\u2019s now possible to view the Event Name and Service Type for the variant in the \u201cWhere Used\u201d pane. Additionally, it\u2019s now possible to use the \u201cLive Search\u201d to find variants using Event Name and Service Type information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
