The Workflow Editor now includes powerful new language elements, enabling even greater customization and control over business processes. Additionally, Human Activities can now be assigned to specific roles for more streamlined task management.

• Wait Node: Pause workflows until specific events, like data synchronization with an external system, are triggered—ensuring processes only continue when conditions are met.
• Conditional Start: Trigger workflows based on predefined events, like initiating a cancellation when specific conditions occur.
• Terminate: Define specific endpoints for workflows, applicable in any flow (main or conditional) to ensure processes conclude as intended.
• Role-based Human Activities: Assign tasks not only to individual users but also to public roles.

Data Fabric’s library of pre-built connectors gets an exciting new addition: SAP BAPI. Following the SAP OData connector, this new addition further enhances integration with SAP products. The Business Application Programming Interface (BAPI) is a standard SAP API designed to seamlessly connect non-SAP applications with SAP business processes, allowing for data entry directly into the SAP system.

Getting started is easy:

1. In ODC Portal, create your SAP BAPI connection and select the specific BAPIs relevant to your use case.
2. In ODC Studio, incorporate BAPI server actions into your logic to develop apps that integrate with SAP.

This connector opens up new possibilities to extend your existing data creating powerful new experiences.

The latest release of AI Agent Builder provides real-time access to public entities within your OutSystems applications to serve as additional context for your Agents. This richer context allows Agents to deliver more accurate responses. With this new feature, you can unlock a host of innovative GenAI use cases, including:

• Customer Support Agent with Live Order Tracking: Empower your support team with an Agent that can instantly access real-time order statuses. Whether it’s tracking shipments or managing returns, your customers will receive immediate, up-to-date information, boosting satisfaction and reducing response times.
• Data Insights with Natural Language Queries: Transform the way your teams interact with data. Build an Agent that taps into your company’s sales data, enabling users to ask questions like, "What were my total sales for the last quarter?" or "Which product had the highest growth?" — all through simple, natural language queries.

This is just the beginning of what’s possible with this latest feature. Try it today and discover how it can transform your business.

AI Mentor System (AIMS) is a suite of AI-based development and code analysis tools, that are like having a team of experts on call to enhance the collective expertise of development teams. The AI Mentor System is like having a virtual senior software engineer guiding you through every stage of the software development life cycle, ensuring that OutSystems applications are consistently built and maintained to the highest standards of quality. With its ability to perform continuous code analysis and offer real-time insights, the AI Mentor System streamlines workflows, enforces best practices, and improves developer productivity. With the release of AIMS for ODC, developers gain access to a new Code Quality console in the ODC Portal. This console highlights the findings from the AI Mentor System, which automatically runs comprehensive code reviews every twelve hours to detect issues such as unused code and other problematic patterns. Leveraging advanced AI algorithms, AIMS performs in-depth code analysis across key dimensions— maintainability, security, and performance:

• Maintainability Mentor: Identifies inefficiencies to reduce technical debt and improve long-term maintainability.
• Performance Mentor: Ensures applications are optimized to deliver peak performance, minimizing bottlenecks and inefficiencies.
• Security Mentor: Flags potential security vulnerabilities in your code, helping you mitigate risks before they become issues

By providing actionable insights through the Code Quality console, AIMS ensures that your OutSystems applications are not only robust but also scalable, secure, and maintainable over time.
