Technical practice
How would you diagnose and improve a slow ABAP workload on HANA?
What to coverThe posting emphasizes pushdown, efficient SQL access and performance tuning. Suggested preparation: explain how you would measure the bottleneck, inspect data movement and query plans, then compare a database-side change against a simpler ABAP approach.
How would you design CDS views for transactional, analytical and AI retrieval consumers?
What to coverThe role calls for reusable business entities with associations, annotations, authorization concepts and consistent definitions. Suggested preparation: discuss how you would choose semantics and access patterns while preserving clear lineage and appropriate data access.
When would you use AMDP or SQLScript instead of another ABAP on HANA approach?
What to coverThe page calls for AMDP and SQLScript where performance-critical logic warrants controlled pushdown. Suggested preparation: weigh measured performance gains against complexity, governance, testability and maintenance.
How would you expose a stable, secure ABAP service to other systems?
What to coverThe posting mentions OData/service exposure, contract-first behavior, versioning and authorization checks. Suggested preparation: describe a service contract, how changes remain compatible, and where you would enforce security across data and service layers.
How would you assemble grounded context for an LLM response using SAP data?
What to coverThe role includes retrieval over governed SAP data and documentation, prompts or templates, and context assembly. Suggested preparation: explain how you would select authorized context, limit ambiguity and handle an answer that lacks sufficient grounding.
How would you let an LLM request a SAP action without giving it uncontrolled access?
What to coverThe page specifies tool calling through approved APIs, tool schemas, action confirmations and audit logs. Suggested preparation: walk through validation and authorization before execution, plus a deterministic fallback or safe refusal when the request is uncertain.
How would you evaluate an AI-enabled SAP workflow before and after release?
What to coverThe posting calls for golden datasets, scenario tests and online monitoring for drift or regressions. Suggested preparation: distinguish offline checks from production signals and explain how failures would inform changes to grounding, tools or guardrails.
What automated tests would you use for ABAP services and data artifacts?
What to coverThe role specifies unit, integration and contract tests, regression coverage, and a CI/CD orientation. Suggested preparation: map tests to correctness, service compatibility and performance, including what should block a release.
How would you troubleshoot and safely recover a failing production workflow?
What to coverThe page names logs, metrics, traces, correlation IDs, retries, idempotency, runbooks and safe failure modes. Suggested preparation: describe how you would trace a request, decide whether retrying is safe, and prevent duplicate or partially completed actions.
How would you integrate an ABAP service with a cloud or non-SAP system?
What to coverThe posting covers SAP and non-SAP ecosystems, including event-driven patterns, API gateways and integration layers. Suggested preparation: compare integration options in terms of contracts, error handling, security and end-to-end performance without assuming a specific platform.
Behavioural practice
Tell me about coordinating a delivery across teams with different priorities.
What to coverThe role involves collaboration with UX, integration, data and platform teams. Suggested preparation: use a real situation, your actions to resolve a dependency or disagreement, and the resulting delivery outcome.
Describe a time you helped move a prototype toward production readiness.
What to coverThe posting calls for rapid prototypes that evolve into secure, scalable systems. Suggested preparation: give the situation, the testing, security or operational gaps you addressed, and the observed result.
Tell me about an incident you investigated and what you changed afterward.
What to coverThe role includes incident support, structured diagnostics and hardening based on failure patterns. Suggested preparation: explain the situation, your diagnostic and recovery actions, and the measurable or observable result.
Describe a time you had to put a safety or access boundary ahead of a convenient solution.
What to coverThe posting emphasizes authorizations, sensitive-data controls and governed AI actions. Suggested preparation: recount the actual constraint, how you handled the trade-off, and what happened; do not imply you have AI-specific experience if the example came from another system.
Tell me about using feedback from a demonstration to improve a solution.
What to coverThe page calls for frequent demonstrations and iterative delivery. Suggested preparation: describe the initial situation, the feedback you acted on, and the result, including any trade-off you had to communicate.
