Arc-1

Series note: This post is part of my AI ABAP development series, where I go from AI development in general, to ABAP-specific problems, and then to ARC-1. In the previous post, I introduced ARC-1 as a secure ADT MCP gateway for ABAP systems. The main point was not only that ARC-1 can expose ABAP development functionality to AI clients. The main point was that this access needs a place in the architecture. This post is about that place. If ARC-1 should not run uncontrolled on every developer laptop, then SAP BTP is the most natural enterprise option for me. Not because BTP makes the problem disappear, but because it already has the pieces you need for this kind of setup: XSUAA, destinations, Cloud Connector, role collections, audit logging, and the normal BTP operating model. ...

Series note: This post is part of my AI ABAP development series, where I go from AI development in general, to ABAP-specific problems, and then to ARC-1. In the first post of this series, I wrote about context and how I use AI in development. In the previous post, I then moved that discussion into ABAP and ended more or less with one question: what would an ADT MCP setup need to look like if you take control, identity, and security seriously from the beginning? ...
