New Release
Public
March 2026
We are excited to announce the release and general availability of SAP Convergent Mediation 9.5!
With this release, we continue our focus on three key value areas: productivity and efficiency, quality and reliability, and security and compliance. It introduces enhancements that simplify configuration management and deployment across environments, extend persistence options for real-time workflows, and strengthen control of workflow execution.
These capabilities enable more consistent automation in CI/CD pipelines, ensure predictable and transparent operations, and support secure, compliant handling of data and configurations across all environments.
Some of the key features and enhancements are:
SQL for Aggregation Storage in Real-time Workflows
This enhancement adds SQL as a storage option for aggregation in real-time workflows. Previously, SQL storage only existed for batch workflows.
With SQL storage, you can persist session data in real-time workflows without relying on disk, Couchbase or Redis. The feature reuses and extends functionality already developed for batch aggregation, adapting it for real-time workflow scenarios.
For SAP ECS customers this adds support for managing and storing real-time workflow run-time aggregation data on HANA database instead of filesystem. Thus allowing disaster recovery replication process to be more frequent as it's based on HANA database instead of filesystem replication.
Direct Creation of Database Tables
This enhancement enables you to create the required database tables for Aggregation, Duplicate UDR, Inter Workflow, and Data Veracity directly from the Desktop, and not have to ask your DBA to create the tables for you. Further lowering the threshold for customers that want to store all their run-time data on HANA database instead of filesystem, for more frequent replication of run-time data to disaster recovery site.
Previously, creating or modifying tables in some environments required the generated SQL code to be run separately. This could mean submitting it through service tickets for execution, causing delays and extending project lead times. With this feature, you can initiate and complete table creation requests directly in the profile configuration, reducing dependency on external tools and support processes. This supports productivity, faster project delivery, and improved usability.
REST Interface for Execution Contexts
This enhancement lets you monitor and deactivate standalone workflows even when the platform server is offline—crucial during upgrades when workflows continue running independently. The extended Operations REST interface provides methods to query workflow details and deactivate them, supporting automation and integration with operational tools. Existing properties still control interface availability.
By removing platform dependency for workflow management and enabling direct, automated control, this feature ensures reliable operations during upgrades or planned downtime.
SOC 1/SOX Guidance
If you are subject to SOC 1/SOX compliance, you may have been asked:
How does SAP Convergent Mediation help me demonstrate SOC 1 control operation?
In this release, we are publishing a set of pages that map MediationZone capabilities to SOC 1/SOX control objectives, so you can show how the product supports your financial reporting controls.
For the System Properties, Desktop Properties, and Legacy Desktop properties, we indicate:
- Whether it is in scope for SOC 1.
- The primary categories supported are Confidentiality, Integrity, or Availability.
- The Reason, a short explanation of the control value, for example, “enforces encryption,” “prevents resource exhaustion,” or “standardizes log timestamps for audit”. This helps you baseline configurations.
Around the mapping, we have added information to help you put these controls in operation:
- Change Management explains how to route MediationZone configuration changes through approvals and capture evidence
- Sensitive Access Monitoring outlines approaches for governing administrator access, permissions, and events
- User Access Monitoring covers provisioning, lifecycle, and the kinds of artifacts auditors typically request.
Each section clarifies the split of responsibilities: what SAP Convergent Mediation provides, what you configure, and what must be proven by your own processes. If you are preparing for a SOX cycle, start at the SOC 1 and SOX Guidance page. Use the properties mapping to set or verify your configuration baseline, then pull the Change/Sensitive Access/User Access pages into your control narratives and evidence plans.
We hope this guidance saves your team time and gives your auditors the confidence they need.
We encourage you to explore all the detailed features and enhancements below to gain a comprehensive understanding of the capabilities in MediationZone 9.5:
