Data & Analytics Innovations on SAP BTP

SAP Analytics Cloud: Just Ask

First up we are introducing SAP Analytics Cloud's Just Ask feature, powered by next-generation natural language query capabilities. Imagine being able to access and query your data models simply by asking questions in plain language. With Just Ask, it's not only possible, it's intuitive. Whether you're querying from the top menu or the home screen, Just Ask understands context, time, and even synonyms, making data analysis a breeze.

Application Development Innovations on SAP BTP

Transport of SAP Build Process Automation Content Using SAP Cloud Transport Management

Next, we are unveiling SAP Cloud Transport Management (cTMS), the answer to many customers' need for a unified approach to content transport within SAP BTP. With cTMS, promoting projects between tenants is seamless, with integration into change management tools like Cloud ALM or Solution Manager.

After the setup has been completed, you can promote projects from the lobby. This creates a transport request in cTMS which can be handled like any other content.

The next step is to deploy the content to the next tenant on the transport route, in this screenshot, the QA environment.

In the QA tenant's lobby, the project appears as importable content and can now be activated.

The integration with cTMS also enables SAP Build Process Automation content to be handled with the change management tools in Cloud ALM or Solution Manager.
