- To deploy, you need to be a member of the Cloud Foundry org and space to which you will be deploying to.
After creating an app in SAP Build Apps, and after viewing the preview on the web and on your mobile device, you can then deploy it directly to SAP BTP, like any other HTML5 application.
As of the writing of this tutorial, you could only deploy to an Cloud Foundry org’s default space.
IMPORTANT: You need to be a member of the Cloud Foundry org and space to which you will be deploying to.
If you are an admin of the SAP BTP subaccount, you can see who is an org member by going to the cockpit and navigating to Cloud Foundry > Org Members.
If you navigate to the space, there is a similar members for space members.
- Step 1
Here, you can configure settings for your build. Generally, you can use the defaults and do not need to do this step at all.
Open the Launch tab.
Select Open Build Service.
The following is displayed, with buttons to configure and start the build in the bottom left.
Click Configure.
Select MTAR, and then Save & Next.
Change the favicon, if needed, and select Save & Next.
Select Save & Next.

Before deploying, you must have a build showing as
delivered.
Click Deploy MTA.
Click Authorize BTP Deployments.
You will get a dialog for signing in to the deployment environment (Cloud Foundry).
Select your account.
Once signed in, select the Cloud Foundry organization to deploy the app to.
For SAP Build workshops, this will be
Work Zone Training _training-emea-z3ktmhk1.
The deployment is always to the default space of the organization.
Click Deploy MTA.
The screen will show a running list of log messages … this could take about 2 minutes.
Once it is done, you will get a screen like this:
The name of the app is at the end of the URL.
IMPORTANT: As of the writing of this tutorial, the link in this screen did not work.
Generally the link will be in this format:
https://<tenant subdomain>.launchpad.cfapps.eu10.hana.ondemand.com/<app name>.<app name>-<version>/page.Page1.htmlThe app name is generally in the format
ag1234. So an example URL is:https://mysubaccount-f5ytahk1.launchpad.cfapps.eu10.hana.ondemand.com/ag5633.ag5633-1.0.0/page.Page1.html
