Robot to give you a list of prices in SAP BTP

I came across this tool that was shared by Krishna Kishor Kammaje that will give you a list of prices in SAP BTP.

 The "robot" is a custom GPT that offers a list of SAP BTP services and ask for the pricing.

 The output will be a table containing all the details and an option to download this table in Excel.

XML to CSV/Flatfile Conversion

I think the easiest way to convert an XML to CSV or flatfile in a Cloud Integration content is by using XSLT.

I wanted to create a video to explore how you could convert in different ways.

You can also use our content converter module to handle such cases, though it is probably more targeted at File Content conversion or going from Flat/CSV to XML.

In the video, I show how you can work with the Figaf tool idea and how it, together with Figaf Bot, can answer some of the questions.

Resources & tools for SAP Cloud Integration/Integration Suite

I came across a few resources over the week that I find very useful if you are managing SAP Cloud Integration.

I combined them and they are below:

• Create DataType and Message Type artifact in Cloud Integration capability of SAP Integration Suite
• Coupa Adapter for SAP Integration Suite
• SAP S/4Hana direct connectivity with Event Mesh in SAP Integration Suite
• Latest Pipeline Concept enhancements: Custom error handling and others

I also made a contribution to the SAP Community with a blog about testing SAP Pipeline Concept flows with Figaf.

New SAP Integration (Music) Playlist by Figaf

It's been a while since we made our first playlist inspired by SAP Integration and since we are now deep in Summer holiday season, I decided to create a new playlist.

One major difference between this new one and our first attempt at music curation is the use of AI.

Out of pure curiousity, I asked ChatGPT to offer me a playlist based on SAP Integration and relevant terms.

Here is the result:

Coding and Integration

1. "Technologic" by Daft Punk - Emphasizes technology and the repetitive tasks often involved in coding.
2. "Code Monkey" by Jonathan Coulton - A humorous take on the life of a coder.
3. "Algorithm" by Muse - Highlights the systematic nature of coding and algorithms.
4. "Computer World" by Kraftwerk - An ode to the world of computers and technology.
5. "Digital Love" by Daft Punk - Reflects the connection and integration in the digital world.

Exchanging Messages/Payloads

1. "Message in a Bottle" by The Police - Though metaphorical, it's about sending messages, fitting the theme of data exchange.
2. "Communication Breakdown" by Led Zeppelin - Addresses the challenges in communication, relevant to integration.
3. "Computer Love" by Kraftwerk - Centers around the connection facilitated by technology.
4. "Data & Picard" by Pogo - A remix featuring Star Trek's Captain Picard and Data, symbolizing data exchange.

Automating Business Processes

1. "Robots" by Flight of the Conchords - A humorous look at automation.
2. "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" by Daft Punk - Represents the efficiency and improvement brought by automation.
3. "The Robots" by Kraftwerk - Focuses on automation and robots.
4. "Work It Out" by Beyoncé - Emphasizes finding solutions and working through processes.

General Tech and Innovation Themes

1. "We Are the Robots" by Kraftwerk - Celebrates the role of robots and automation.
2. "Electric Feel" by MGMT - Represents the electrifying feel of technology and innovation.
3. "Automatic" by The Pointer Sisters - Directly addresses the concept of automation.
4. "Working in the Coal Mine" by Devo - A metaphor for hard work, which can be alleviated through automation.

Instrumental and Focus Tracks (for concentration while coding)

1. "Night Owl" by Galimatias - Chill instrumental for focused work.
2. "Ludovico Einaudi - Experience" by Ludovico Einaudi - Instrumental piano for deep focus.
3. "Above and Beyond" by Audiomachine - Epic instrumental to boost motivation and concentration.

This playlist combines tracks that are both directly related to coding and integration themes and those that provide an ambient backdrop for productive work.

What do you think? Let me know. Check out both playlist on Spotify and use it for motivation and inspiration when you are either working on SAP Integrations or you are on holiday and looking for some good music to listen to.

Have a great weekend.
