By role IT application teams

Connectors, handlers, write-back switches and promotion gates stay with you; the screens and criteria move to the business.

For the team that keeps the gates. This page says what SmartApps put in your hands, what stays with other roles, and how a week runs.

A week

How a week runs with SmartApps

Monday
Register two new objects in the catalog for a requested app; the handlers show their rows at once.
Tuesday
Run the test write for a new write-back object; switch it on for the app.
Wednesday
Review the promotion of three versions; check the validator's report and the preview sign-offs.
Thursday
Register a function that calls the screening service; the configurators call it by name.
Friday
Read the operations boardRead the operations board: stuck write-backs, orphan clocks, unusual volumes.
Yours and theirs

What you do yourself, and what other roles keep

Yours

  • Connectors, credentials in the vault, network paths
  • Objects in the catalog and the access policies mapped from each source
  • Write-back per object: test write, switch, approval rule
  • Environments, promotion gates, registered functions and REST calls

Kept by other roles

  • Screens, criteria, clocks and roles
  • Versions and change notes within the gates
  • Who sits at which level
Apps you will meet first

Questions

What does an app do to SAP?

Reads through released interfaces under a user with exactly the authorisations the app needs; writes through BAPIs and IDocs with the RETURN checked and the document number stored; write-back off per object until you switch it on.

Can we keep our own environments and pipelines?

Yes: two environments and a promotion gate is the standard; the Backbone deployment page describes GitOps promotion for the whole platform.

What is the operational load?

A screen is a filtered query on indexed columns; history at scale comes from the lake through pipeline handlers.
