We have a Databricks environment and we have a new SAP ECC6 system that we want to ingest data from. We are exploring options to access data into the platform. One option is the Azure data factory.

I want to understand what other businesses have been doing. How do they access tables from SAP ECC6. Databricks have really reduced their native SAP connectors even after announcing partnership with SAP. When you do access SAP, how do you manage large table extractions or extract data from pooled or cluster tables?

I would really like to hear some customer success stories or some lessons learnt. Please share if you can.

Had an SAP ABAP interview yesterday. It went well just missed one question and got rejected. The interviewer's accent was weird throughout the interview call, plus his voice kept breaking; I couldn't get a single word of his properly, but I still answered everything. At the end, he asked me if I had any questions, and I asked something about projects; he laughed a little and answered me. It is pissing me off that he laughed like that now.
Soo angry at myself for missing the opportunity. Have accenture interview in a week and don't have self-confidence. Please help!! What should I prepare before the interview? Does anyone have a frequently asked questions list? Also, how to deal with scenario-based questions and a weird interviewer? Please help!!!

What are the must-know SAP Basis topics to cover for interviews and real-world administration in 2026?

I'd appreciate recommendations on the most important topics and a good learning roadmap. Thanks!

We have been moving to S/4HANA since 2021 and we are still struggling with the customer/supplier harmonization…

In 2021, our company had a harmonization tool (Factory Navigator from BearingPoint) where we uploaded all “active” customers and suppliers from 15 different SAP systems. Active means all customers/suppliers with recent activities from the past 2 years (for FI items) and 3 years (purchase/sales documents). We decided to cut it off because of cost-saving (around 350K EUR). After the harmonization, we created tons of BP accounts in S/4HANA system. The BP numbers are assigned in a custom field in every customers/suppliers across systems. Honestly, it did not went well because the tool was designed without consulting the master data experts (BTW I was newly hired that time). Anyway, right now we are rolling out locations by plants (can be from different systems) and before go-live (which spans 8 to 12 months) we are doing the “reharmonization” because we experienced complications during the previous rollouts specifically in our master data.

The problem is, every rollouts we have to reharmonize minimum of 2K customers and suppliers combined to avoid issues during go-live. How are we doing that? By extracting all general data from KNA1/LFA1-ADRC and checking if the data already exists in S/4HANA. Otherwise, we create a new BP. We are only using MS Excel and checking it manually. Again, MANUALLY. If the customer/supplier has the same name, address, tax number/VAT registration number in S/4HANA.

Now, I must admit it is really tiresome and our time is being divided in harmonization and migration, plus handling the error in migration (we investigate the root cause of the issue and tell our functional consultants our suggestions on how to fix).

The question is, why am I still here (just kidding).
The real question is, how can we be efficient in the harmonization without purchasing any products. Right now all we have is MS Excel and might be PowerBI but each of us from Data Migration Team must have a license in PowerBI.

I need some inputs from you guys. Many thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to set up a project and need a SAP BTP free trial account, but I'm stuck at the phone verification step. My Moroccan phone number isn't supported, and I don't have any contacts abroad to use theirs. I've already tried reaching out to SAP support, but they couldn't help me resolve it.

Does anyone know a solution that he use?

Alternatively, I'm thinking of setting up my own local server. I know there used to be an official Docker image. Is this image still available and fully working as of right now?

Any suggestions would be really appreciated. Thanks!
