SAP Datasphere released two new updates in July 2025, including secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) as a source for replication flows, export and import of objects between file spaces, and new layout options in task chains.

SAP Datasphere, a comprehensive data management platform, has released two significant updates in July 2025, further enhancing its capabilities and usability. These updates include the integration of Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) as a source for replication flows, the ability to export and import objects between file spaces, and new layout options in task chains. Additionally, the platform now supports running API tasks in task chains, setting up email notifications within task chains, and enabling multi-availability zones for SAP HANA Cloud.

One of the key updates is the addition of SFTP as a source for replication flows. This feature allows users to utilize SFTP connections as sources in replication flows to any supported target, building upon the existing capability of using SFTP as a target [1]. Another notable enhancement is the ability to export and import objects between file spaces, enabling users to manage file-based artifacts more efficiently [1].

The platform has also introduced a new layout option in the task chain editor toolbar, allowing users to rearrange the visual display of a task chain on the canvas from top-to-bottom or left-to-right. This improvement provides greater flexibility in task chain design [1]. Additionally, SAP Datasphere now supports running API tasks in task chains, facilitating the integration of external systems through REST-based APIs [1].

Email notifications within task chains have been enhanced, allowing users to set up additional email notifications at any point in the sequence of tasks. This feature enables more granular control over communication within task chains [1]. Furthermore, SAP Datasphere has introduced the capability to enable multi-availability zones for SAP HANA Cloud, providing a high-availability setup that can take over processing when necessary [1].

These updates demonstrate SAP Datasphere's commitment to continuous improvement and innovation, aiming to provide users with a more robust and flexible data management solution. The platform's enhancements are designed to meet the evolving needs of modern data-driven organizations, offering greater functionality and ease of use.
