Exodus – III: Setting up the environment for VS Code
This post is part of the Exodus series created after the announced closure of the SAP Cloud Platform trial service, in the NEO environment: Exodus - I: The End of SCP NEO and SAP WebIDE Full-Stack Exodus - II: Is there an alternative to Cloud Foundry's Business Application Studio? Exodus - III: Setting up the environment for VS Code Exodus - IV: From SAP Web IDE to Visual Studio Code I am not going to make a detailed guide on how to configure the work environment for Visual Studio Code because there is already quality information on the net about it. So I simply tell you the steps, some...
Exodus – II: Is there an alternative to Cloud Foundry’s Business Application Studio?
This post is part of the Exodus series created after the announced closure of the SAP Cloud Platform trial service, in the NEO environment: Exodus - I: The End of SCP NEO and SAP WebIDE Full-Stack Exodus - II: Is there an alternative to Cloud Foundry's Business Application Studio? Exodus - III: Setting up the environment for VS Code Exodus - IV: From SAP Web IDE to Visual Studio Code But why look for an alternative to Business Application Studio (BAS) when it is the option recommended by SAP? Although I still have options to explore within BAS, the truth is that it is a very good...
Exodus – I: The End of SCP NEO and SAP WebIDE Full-Stack
You probably already know that on November 13 the SAP Cloud Platform trial service will close in the NEO environment. And with it all its associated services. SAP will continue maintenance for customers who have contracted it. They will be super happy to stay in that siding... What happened to that SAP slogan? Innovate Without Disruption. Well, that, by the Arch of Triumph I think that in the adoption of HANA they have done it in a masterful way. First giving the alternative of SAP ECC on HANA and then constantly evolving the SAP Netweaver stack to build the current S/4 HANA. And of course...
Update your Eclipse version: 2020-03
Since the 18th of this month we have already available the new version of eclipse ‘Eclipse 4.15’. Why updating it? It is always a nuisance to be updating but it is totally recommended, especially for the improvement in the overall performance of the program (especially at the startup). Also you do not have to worry about losing your projects and the general configuration of your Workbench, although you do have to take into account that you will have to reinstall the ADT (ABAP Development Tools) and the rest of the extensions that you had. Regarding the improvements, it is true that many...
HANA Express: Additional components
HANA recommendation functionSurely you already know HANA Express, the development platform on HANA that SAP distributes for free and that can even be used productively (up to a certain limit) . The installation requirements are not very demanding although the 32 GB of RAM are not available to most laptops. In these cases you can access a cloud deployment for a reasonable price. In my case I have installed it several times in a 1 terabyte memory RAM that I bought for about 150€ where I have several virtual machines raised. The installation of HANA Express is quite simple especially because...
Workflows Series: Chapter II, Workflow Scenario in S/4 HANA
In this post we will take a look at the configuration of a Workflow in SAP S/4 HANA with the new FIORI applications that S/4 brings us in its latest versions. We will focus as an example on the management of bank accounts, Bank Account Management. In order not to do a very long post, we will see in this section the SAP marketing part and a bit of functional framing leaving the most technical part for the next entry. We will get into the subject with very short videos of SAP. This company spends more and more on marketing and the truth is that the videos are very good, although of course,...
Workflows Series: Chapter I, 15 years in the backpack
I came across my first SAP Workflow almost 15 years ago. They needed some adjustments to be made in a Workflow that was already working and they sent me without training or knowledge to do what I could... I tried not to panic, I read everything I could on Google, I found out about the tenth part, rolled up my sleeves and after overthought it, the matter was more or less fixed. I saved my skin and moved on to the next thing. Now with perspective, I get the impression that 80% of consultants who say they know something about Workflows have simply gone through a similar experience. I have done...
SAP Cloud Connector: bonus track
Very useful the post of Nieves to install and configure the SAP Cloud Connector. It will be good to have it on hand. We are going to add one more brushstroke to this theme. The SAP Cloud Connector will start automatically by default when the host system starts. When it comes to an installation on a laptop, this can be excessive, especially if it is not used daily and the laptop has limited resources. It will be more convenient not to start automatically and starting it only when it is to be used. Our SAP friends could have added a switch off for this option in the graphical interface but...
SAP Cloud Connector end to end
In this post will install and configure a Cloud Connector. So we will install a small server on our computer that will serve as a security tunnel to share the resources of a connection to SAP through our platform. We will also make the necessary configuration to take advantage of those resources from the SAP WebIDE service. There are two different uses of the SAP Cloud Connector. On one hand, it is the official SAP tool to expose our SAP On Premise system to the outside world (outside our DMZ). Although it is a very simple installation, it is a task carried out by experts in operations and...
