Platform Updates
SAP BTP, Cloud Foundry runtime now supports granular service‑instance sharing across directories. Instead of granting global access, you can assign service-manager roles scoped to a subaccount directory, enabling isolated dev/test tenants with exact service bindings.
Action: Review your current org/space model. If you have monolithic spaces serving multiple teams, split them into directory‑scoped spaces and rebuild service bindings using the new Cloud Foundry CLI plugin released in SAP BTP Cockpit 4.12. Validate that CI/CD pipelines pick up the new target scopes.
SAP Integration Suite’s Cloud Integration recently received a long‑awaited enhancement: OAuth 2.0 client credentials grant now supports custom token audiences. You can set the aud claim to the specific receiver system’s client ID, eliminating the need for intermediary token exchange. Test this with a sandbox iFlow against a mock S/4HANA Cloud endpoint.
Action: Update your Security Material in the Integration Suite tenant, replacing hard‑coded basic authentication with client credentials. Enable the “Validate audience” toggle in the receiver channel.
