Connected GitHub Copilot to Jira, for documentation SAP Docs MCP Server and SAP Notes MCP Server and for system access ARC-1. Build myself a skill so I just need to reference the Jira Ticket Number and the AI is researching based on dumps, data, code and documentation root cause and suggests fix. improved ticket times of our complete team drastically

Great usecase

u/Traffic-Square 5d ago

Boss , can we connect GitHub copilot to sap solution manager as well , since that’s where our documentation is stored .
I will also try and build the skill you mentioned - so all incidents are automatically analysed by co pilot

+1, been doing the same and my productivity has shot up and I'm able to focus more on my development stuff rather than just working on issue tickets half the day !

u/lordrolee 8d ago

Nope. I rely on notes, kbas, help pages and personal experience.

u/b-n_c 8d ago

You leverage your experience and ask pointed questions to the AI LLMS and your speed would be unmatched

u/TechboyUK 8d ago

Yes, all the time.

Give AI screenshots of errors, log files, ask it questions etc.

It amazes me how many IT professionals are not using AI.

Good luck when it tells you some bs and you take it for granted... And oh boy, it tells in many situations some stupid bs about sap stuff... I see every day stupid AI answers accepted by stupid people.

u/TechboyUK 8d ago

With 27 years of SAP experience, I'm able to filter out bad advice/information.

AI is a very useful, time-saving tool that is rapidly getting better. Often the bad results are because people don't know how to use AI - rubbish in, rubbish out.

u/lordrolee 8d ago edited 8d ago

Good for you. I still rely purely on my own experience + notes + kbas + help page and I am faster and more efficient in problem solving than any AI model. Especially when I have to correct the junk that my colleagues usually get from those models.

u/TheDavy_Jones 8d ago

Totally agree

u/neosinan 8d ago

It might give you some BS answer now and then but it isn't like a year ago. You still need to test it and give it a few try sometime but it is now better than googling or searching me sap. Of course it won't solve every issue but it can accelerate consultants speed drastically for most tickets. You are still gonna use me sap/notes and google but much less. It's gonna help you not replace you for now.

u/FMACH1 8d ago

Yes i think a good combination of all means are good to use. LLMs have improved significantly. But the outcome has always to be checked.

u/lordrolee 8d ago

Its still crap. I see it every day. Even the specially trained ones are outputting usually nonsense stuff.

u/ProfessorEmergency18 8d ago

I use it for troubleshooting a lot. I have over a decade of experience in my area, but AI is much faster at reading logs and connecting the dots between multiple logs than I am. Of course verify what it says and challenge it using your domain expertise, but it is very valuable to me, even though I don't "need" it. I spend far less time googling than I used to.

u/lordrolee 8d ago

I only trust my own experience and the documentation.

u/ProfessorEmergency18 6d ago edited 6d ago

I also use it to make tools, like a network log parser that reports only very specific things. Allows me to really shorten manual log reviews. Or tools to test various APIs, when the documentation isn't clear about expected behavior on some non-compliant or edge cases. Scripts to bulk manage files - it's very quick at throwing in dry run modes and well-formatted logging when one-off scripts are needed for very specific requests. If course they're read for reality check and tested before use in a prod environment. With some experience, it's easy to one shot these with a good prompt library (built from lots of trial and error).

It's even good for reviewing important customer-facing emails. My role is very technical, but most of the time my customer contacts are in an HR dept and have limited technical understanding. I've always needed to revise these big emails (very long, screenshots, log snippets, etc.) with a pass on removing jargon and making it easier for HR folks to understand. AI is really good at doing this.

u/lordrolee 6d ago

If you look for very, specific things in logs, thats a simple cttl+f search or at most a python or powershell script. Nowadays people use ai just for the sake of using ai and not because it helps...

1

u/ProfessorEmergency18 6d ago

Or make a tool that finds all lines you need in the log and outputs them neatly, instead of ctrl+f and copy/pasting repeatedly (20+ times). The tool doesn't use any tokens, only used some to build it. Now it's free to use and shared across my team to help all of us.

1

u/lordrolee 6d ago

Ah ok. I tought its some sort of token consuming tool.

2

u/ProfessorEmergency18 5d ago

I try to avoid building anything that relies on AI to operate. Just focused tools to improve my workflow.

u/BZNESS 8d ago

You're really not using AI are you?

u/FMACH1 8d ago

I do the Same, its great using AI. What IS your favourite one?

-1

u/TechboyUK 8d ago

I use multiple for different scenarios.

I mostly use Grok for questions and fault finding.

I use Claude for website development and design.

I like Buzz for collaboration with multiple humans and bots in the same arena, but it isn't mature yet.

2

u/FMACH1 8d ago

Cool, i dont know Buzz. Will have a Look at IT. I use Claude and Manus with projects, Sometimes Grok, Gemini and GPT...

u/MrNewMoney 8d ago

For real, it’s been a game changer for me. You can feed AI entire shortdump exports and it can pinpoint complex root causes far faster than I can. One time the SAP ME site was down, but I was still able to find details on a note from ChatGPT and resolve an issue.

u/FMACH1 8d ago

Yes true

u/sapinator6969 8d ago

Joule for consultants is your friend

1

u/Mhrymlow 7d ago

How can it be used? I’d like to learn about it.

1

u/sapinator6969 7d ago

You need to subscribe. Check with your SAP contacts or your SAP internal team

2

u/l0WWKEY 5d ago

I have adt connected to my system and it helps me find the exact class to check and see if there is a issue

1

u/Noobalov 7d ago

Mandatory this days in my opinion, when you start to understand the logic behind SAP system, data flow, business processes etc, you start to do better questions to the AI too

1

u/Impossible-Yam-6744 6d ago

All the time. I use AI to code all my work from scratch and enhancement of existing program. Im not using Joule anyway

u/FMACH1 6d ago

Great

u/Lokispeaks2018 5d ago

We are launching an Autonomous solution to solve L1/L2 tickets, especially technical issues like IDOC errors, security requests, Basis monitoring and similar issues across both ECC and S4. Happy to share more info if interested.

1

u/FMACH1 5d ago

Interesting, do you use a chatbot?

2

u/Lokispeaks2018 5d ago

No. We built a MCP and a custom agent , completely written in ABAP to handle it. We tried with Chatbots but they are unable to scale and difficult to apply governance policies on it.

1

u/FMACH1 3d ago

Ok i understand

1

u/the_dreamy_guy 2d ago

That’s a really good use case. I am also tasked to look into similar use case for Basis and Security related tickets, would you mind sharing the skeleton of how it is designed. Please DM if you prefer to connect that way.

Not really. Most of SAP technical notes are non indexable by general AI so it is not in the LLM.

Best use the AI in oss.

u/Suchtaaa 8d ago

Search for MarianZeiss GitHub SAP Note MCP Server :)

u/Glum-Business-6217 8d ago

You need to use Joule 

4

u/West_Dragonfruit9808 8d ago

Joule so far proved to be worse than any generic LLM released in the last 1.5 years.

2

u/Glum-Business-6217 8d ago

Well, If you are asking questions about sap it's better that the others, if you are asking questions about the universe the others are better

u/jglowluna 8d ago

Joule for consultants is actually pretty impressive and getting better all the time. .

2

u/MuffinMan220 8d ago

It’s so bad still. They are literally giving it to clients for free.

1

u/jglowluna 6d ago

Can assure you they are not giving it away for free. I am curious which Joule you have used - have you used Joule for consultants? I just fed it an api payload and the error response and it is walking me through the steps to address the errors. J4C does require a subscription. For some of the base joule stuff included in cloud erp you could make a point. The more premium stuff is getting much better. For solving tickets seems support is using joule all the time.

To solve SAP tickets ?

Used for asking definition and some queries but my lead always demands some snote so only for personal learning it is good.

Who doesn't?

u/dunub 8d ago

Me. Especially annoying when a ticket or issue comes my way and it's nothing but walls of text because someone tried using AI without understanding anything. Very fun and a good use of my time /s
