New month, new capabilities. Get a quick tour of the May 2026 feature highlights across SAP Datasphere, SAP Business Data Cloud, and SAP Analytics Cloud.

In this update, Klaus-Peter Sauer covers what shipped in May, including two strong releases packed with enhancements for data integration, modeling, transport, runtime analysis, and analytics. You’ll also see how SAP Business Data Cloud continues to expand its open partner ecosystem with SAP Snowflake and BDC Connect for Snowflake.

You will see what is new in:
✅ SAP Snowflake and BDC Connect for Snowflake: SAP Snowflake is now generally available as a solution extension for SAP Business Data Cloud, bringing Snowflake AI/ML and advanced engineering capabilities to semantically rich, business-ready SAP data. BDC Connect for Snowflake now supports bidirectional data sharing on AWS with zero copies and preserved business context.
✅ Scheduled delta loads for replication flows: Schedule replication flows that use delta-enabled objects or include them in task chains, so all available delta records are processed and completed cleanly after each run.
✅ Bulk assignment of schedule owners: Assign a schedule owner to multiple task chains at once, reducing repetitive admin work in larger environments.
✅ Lineage graph analysis with runtime metrics: Analyze the full lineage graph of a view, including underlying source objects, to find performance bottlenecks faster.
✅ Transport runtime settings for flows and views: Export runtime settings for transformation flows and view persistency as part of transport packages for more consistent deployment across dev, test, and production.
✅ Variables in analytic models: Customize variables when using one analytic model as the source for another, including renaming variables, changing defaults, and using them in restricted measures or calculations.
✅ SAP Analytics Cloud Q2 2026 highlights: Get a quick pointer to the top five Q2 features, including asymmetric reporting, composite versioning, job monitor enhancements, the decoupled data panel, and recent and favorites in open and save dialogs.

What changed at SAP Sapphire 2026? Explore Joule Studio, SAP Business AI, and the future of enterprise AI.

In this episode of Unlocking SAP BTP, new co-host Maria Radde sits down with André Borchert, Vice President and Head of Product Enablement & Engagement for SAP BTP Build Product Management at SAP, to unpack the biggest takeaways from SAP Sapphire 2026.

Together, they discuss SAP’s vision for the Autonomous Enterprise: where people set the direction and AI helps execute work across end-to-end business processes. André explains why the idea that “AI will replace enterprise software” misses the bigger picture: AI agents need governed data, business rules, approvals, audit trails, and enterprise context to deliver real value at scale.

You’ll also hear how Joule Studio fits into SAP Business AI Platform as a unified environment for building AI agents, applications, and workflows with governance built in from the start. From intent-driven development and SAP Knowledge Graph to VS Code flexibility, managed runtime, and production-ready AI, this conversation connects the dots for developers, business users, and enterprise technology leaders.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
✅ What fundamentally changed at SAP Sapphire 2026
✅ Why “AI will replace enterprise software” is a myth
✅ Where SAP differentiates in enterprise AI: process knowledge, business data, and governance
✅ What SAP Business AI Platform is and how Joule Studio fits in
✅ How Joule Studio supports AI-first, intent-driven development
✅ Why AI agents need enterprise context, auditability, and governed execution
✅ How developers can work with VS Code, GitHub, and their preferred tools
✅ Why moving AI from prototype to production requires managed runtime and governance by design
✅ What Joule Studio means for developers, business users, and the future of SAP BTP
