What is the ABAP Copilot?
The Ryzolv ABAP Copilot is an AI-powered VS Code extension designed to automate SAP modernization. Unlike generic tools, it analyzes your ABAP workspace locally to convert legacy procedural code to modern Object-Oriented syntax, identify S/4HANA incompatibilities, and generate unit tests - accelerating your migration from ECC 6.0.
Why Generic AI Breaks in SAP
Asking ChatGPT to refactor ABAP is dangerous. Here is why context matters.
No Z-Table Visibility
ChatGPT Fails: It hallucinates field names because it cannot see your Data Dictionary.
Ryzolv Succeeds: We index your workspace. We know Z_INVOICE has field AMOUNT_USD.
Invalid Syntax
ChatGPT Fails: Generates code that won't compile in ECC 6.0 or uses obsolete S/4HANA statements.
Ryzolv Succeeds: We target your specific system version (ECC or S/4) for 100% compliant syntax.
Security Risks
ChatGPT Fails: Ignores SAP authorization objects, creating potential injection vulnerabilities.
Ryzolv Succeeds: Our model is trained on secure ABAP patterns to pass code audits.
How It Works
1. Local Analysis
The extension scans your workspace locally to build a dependency graph of your Z-Objects.
2. Secure Handshake
Anonymized logic patterns are sent via TLS 1.3. No raw PII or data ever leaves your machine.
3. AI Inference
Our ephemeral cloud engine refactors the logic using S/4HANA best practices.
4. One-Click Apply
You receive a diff in VS Code. Review the changes and merge with one click.
Migration Velocity
Automate the tedious parts of your move to S/4HANA.
Legacy Refactoring
Convert procedural `PERFORM` logic to modern Object-Oriented classes automatically.
Result: Accelerates refactoring cycles by 10x.
Unit Test Generation
Generate ABAP Unit tests with ~80% code coverage to prevent regression during cutover.
Result: Confident Go-Live.
Cloud-Native Dev
Move development from SE80 to VS Code, enabling modern Git-based CI/CD pipelines.
Result: Modern Dev Experience.
