After completing the steps in this tutorial, you will have set up SAP Business Application Studio on the SAP BTP Trial environment. In addition, you will have created a dev space for developing full-stack applications using productivity tools.

  • Step 3

    Dev spaces are like isolated environments in the cloud containing tailored tools and preinstalled runtimes per business scenario, such as SAP Fiori, SAP S/4HANA extensions, Workflow, Mobile and more. This simplifies and saves time in setting up the development environment as there is no need to install anything or upgrade, letting developers focus on their business domain, anytime, anywhere. For further information on dev spaces refer to Dev Spaces in SAP Business Application Studio

    1. If you have not created a dev space yet, choose Create Dev Space in the landing page of SAP Business Application Studio. If you have already created a dev space, choose Create Dev Space in the dev space manager.

    2. Choose a name for your dev space.

    3. Choose Full-Stack Application Using Productivity Tools as the application type.

      The Full-Stack Application Using Productivity Tools dev space allows you to easily develop, test, build, and deploy apps using high productivity tools.

    4. Choose Create Dev Space.

      The creation of the dev space takes a while. You see that the status for your dev space will change from STARTING to RUNNING.
