New month, new capabilities. Get a quick tour of the April 2026 feature highlights across SAP Datasphere and SAP Business Data Cloud, with practical takeaways you can use right away.
In this update, Klaus-Peter Sauer covers what shipped in April, focusing on improvements that help teams keep data products current, monitor pipelines with more confidence, tune Spark compute, strengthen secure connectivity, and simplify day-to-day modeling and monitoring.
You will see what is new in:
✅ Update action for installed data products (SAP Business Data Cloud): Update installed data products in your SAP Datasphere space when a new minor version is available.
✅ BDC cockpit data product monitoring: Better visibility into SAP-managed data product pipelines, including where data stands and where it breaks.
✅ Local table partitioning: Partition existing SAP-managed local tables in SAP HANA Cloud spaces, even when they already contain data.
✅ Spark configuration (file spaces): Adjust compute per task activity and create custom configurations per file space.
✅ Cloud Connector support for Google BigQuery: Configure private connectivity so traffic runs through secure tunnels, supporting targets without public endpoints.
✅ Task chain deletion types: New support for delete all records and delete filtered records for local tables and local tables on files.
✅ Semantic onboarding of SAP HANA Cloud calculation views: Import calc views as remote tables while preserving semantic information.
✅ Analytic model clarity: Toggle inherited elements in the properties panel to separate inherited vs. local elements.
✅ Improved monitoring tool navigation: A cleaner monitoring menu that groups key activities in one place.
