[Intro] This is the SAP Developer News for September 18th, 2025.
[DJ] When creating solutions with CAP and following the recommended local first development philosophy, you'll know about the immense utility of initial and sample data loading via CSV files. Some of you also may know about the things to look out for when subsequently deploying data to SAP HANA Cloud. If you don't, well, even if you do, it's definitely worth reading this blog post published recently by SAP champion MioYasutake. It serves as a reminder of the feature and the challenge and also walks through some alternative approaches. Link in the description.

[Tom] Hey Devtoberfest is a little over a week away It is hard to believe, seems like just the other day we were starting to planning and preparations for the Devtoberfest , here it is, on top of us. we have all the fun and learning opportunities that you have come to know from previous years of Devtoberfest, plus a few new surprises this year. I had a look at the calendar of content on the community the other day, and it is chock full of educational sessions that I know I can't wait to attend myself. And it's going to have everything you need to help you get ready for TechEd this year. You know, TechEd, we're going to hear about lots of new AI innovations, changes in development capabilities, new functionality across the board in SAP BTP. and if you need to get up to speed on what some of these things are and how to get ready to learn about all the new innovations, Devtoberfest is the place to be. And don't forget, we'll be running the contest again this year. If you'd like an opportunity to perhaps win an all -expense-paid trip to next year's SAP TechEd in-person experience, then be sure to take part in the Devtoberfest contest. We'll have 10 winners from last year joining us in Berlin and we can't wait to see who the new winners are going to be joining us wherever TechEd is in the following year. So be on the lookout for everything DevToverFest. Check out the community calendar so you don't miss any of the sessions and join the DevToverFest community group so that you're registered for the contest.

Hi everyone, and welcome to the SAP Developer News. Just a quick announcement.
[Nico] After a six-year-long break, UI5Con is back in Bangalore, India. End of November, early December, there's no exact date yet. UI5Con will be back in India, so watch this space for more information. Very exciting. Hope to see you soon. Bye.
[Tom] Hi, I want to tell you about a nifty new little plugin supplied by one of our community members and fellow SAP employees. Mauricio has recently written a blog post about his available open source ESLint plugin. for the cloud application programming model. Now, this is part of, or taking advantage of an expanded effort for ESLint to focus on more languages and capabilities than just JavaScript and TypeScript. And he's using the JSON plugin that was already available and building on top of it to allow you to parse and check the configuration files specific to CAP, like the package a song but the additional functionality that he has added is checking for deprecated features and keys so if you think that would be a useful addition to your CAP development environment check out his blog post today and install and start using that plug-in.
