We’re thrilled to announce that Atlan’s SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA connectors are now live in Public Preview!

This marks a major milestone in our mission to bring deep metadata discovery, lineage, and governance to the SAP ecosystem — helping enterprises unlock visibility into their most complex, business-critical systems.

Why This Matters

End-to-End SAP Metadata Discovery and Governance
Atlan now natively connects to SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA to extract comprehensive metadata directly from the application layer — including Components, TCODES, Function Modules, ABAP Programs, application components, tables, views, fields, check tables, CDS views and the relationships between them. This allows teams to understand the “what” behind their SAP Components like FI, LO, MM, SD and CO and how the data flows and is consumed within the modern data stack.

New Features from PrPr Release

Column-Level Check Table Relationships
The connector now automatically discovers column-level check table relationships, enabling precise data lineage and semantic context. 

Application Component Hierarchy
We’ve added Application Component Hierarchy relationships — allowing automatic discovery of related SAP tables, fields, and data objects by business domain or component (FI, MM, SD, LO, PP, PM, etc.).
These hierarchies can now be leveraged to build rich business semantic Data Products in Atlan that align directly with SAP’s organizational structure, driving cleaner discovery and business alignment.  If interested in more automation around this please contact your Atlan account representative.  

This helps users discover and connect transactional and master data across key SAP for use as data products such as:

• Business Partners
• Customer & Vendor Master
• Material Master
• Sales & Purchase Orders
• Work Centers
• G/L Accounts
• Profit Centers
• Maintenance Plans
  …and more.

Smarter Metadata Scoping

New flexibility lets users filter the SAP metadata extraction scope by:

• Application Component(s) – focus on only the modules relevant to your use case (e.g., FI, SD, MM).
• Atlan Asset Types – choose which metadata objects (tables, function modules, Programs, TCODEs, views) to include or exclude based on business requirements.

This enables faster, more targeted metadata ingestion and reduces noise across massive SAP landscapes.

 What’s Next

This Public Preview is just the start of Atlan’s journey in the SAP ecosystem.
Coming soon on our roadmap:

• SAP Business Data Cloud
• SAP BW on HANA
• SAP BW/4HANA
• SAP Datasphere
• SAP Analytics Cloud
• SAP Business Objects

Together, these will provide an end-to-end metadata lineage bridge across SAP’s legacy and modern data SAP Business Data Cloud ecosystems — from SAP to cloud analytics and beyond.

Atlan now supports concatenation of multiple tag values for Snowflake objects when reverse sync is enabled.

✨ What’s in Store

• Multiple tag values can now be concatenated and reverse-synced to Snowflake, which are propagated via hierarchy or lineage. 
• Tag values are automatically sorted alphabetically.
• Concatenated into a single string using a configurable delimiter.

Atlan now supports a new tag propagation mode - lineage only 

✨ Let’s dig deeper

You can now propagate tags:

• Hierarchy & lineage allows tag propagation to child and downstream assets.
• Hierarchy only (no lineage) allows tag propagation to child assets only.
• [new] Lineage only (no hierarchy) allows tag propagation to downstream assets only.
• No propagation disables any tag propagation.

👏 Give it a shot

Atlan is excited to announce the General Availability of a long-awaited capability in the Power BI Connector:
Cataloging of Power BI Apps as First-Class Assets

• Business Users can now easily discover, trust, and navigate the official version of business content distributed through Apps.
• Data Engineers gain visibility into downstream consumption patterns from certified datasets into apps and ensure clean governance boundaries.
• BI Developers can now tag and manage apps alongside reports and dashboards, helping align packaging strategies to governance policies.

• Search and filter by Power BI Apps
• View Apps as related assets to Reports/Dashboards and vice-versa
• Understand which official version of content is being shared and used

🚀 WHAT’S NEW

You can now see full asset names in the lineage graph! Previously, long names were trimmed with "...", but we’ve improved this for better visibility. Browsing graphs is now easier, but also, exporting a graph & sharing it for collaboration would be possible after this release.

🚀 What’s New

We’ve made it easier to see if an asset has upstream or downstream dependencies at a glance. In the Lineage tab on Atlan’s sidebar, assets with long dependency lists now show two options: "Load Upstream" and "Load Downstream". Selecting one retrieves more dependencies and updates the relevant tabs with the latest information.

Note: The number of displayed dependencies is based on a paginated request. To view all dependencies, keep clicking "Load More".

🎉 What’s new

Atlan automatically retrieves and enriches Airflow DAGs with descriptions, source owners, and tags—if included in the OpenLineage event. This ensures your metadata stays up to date with source DAGs, helping you better govern, utilize, and understand your data estate.
