Cloud Foundry environment of SAP Cloud Platform has a built-in cf push command to deploy applications. It needs the application files plus an optional manifest.yml file to push the application code and to bind the relevant services to the application.
-
As cf push can only bind but not create services, you need to create the SAP HANA service manually (along with an HDI container and a database schema):
cf create-service hanatrial hdi-shared my-bookshop-db-hdi-container
This process takes some minutes.
Check the status of your service using cf service my-bookshop-db-hdi-container.
If service creation fails, see the Troubleshooting guide for CAP.
-
Now, build and deploy both the database part and the actual application:
cds build/all
cf push -f gen/db
cf push -f gen/srv --random-route
This process takes some minutes.
The first command creates the SAP HANA table and view definitions along with manifest.yaml files in both in gen/db and gen/srv folders. Look at gen/db/manifest.yaml and see that it binds to the my-bookshop-db-hdi-container service that you’ve created in the previous step.
-
In the deploy log, find the application URL in the routes line at the end:
name: my-bookshop-srv
requested state: started
routes: my-bookshop-srv-....cfapps.sap.hana.ondemand.com
-
Open this URL in the browser and try out the provided links, for example, .../catalog/Books. Application data is fetched from SAP HANA.

Now, build and deploy both the database part and the actual application:
cds build/all && cf push -f gen/db && cf push -f gen/srv --random-route
This process takes some minutes.
The first part of the command creates the SAP HANA table and view definitions along with manifest.yaml files in both in gen/db and gen/srv folders. Look at gen/db/manifest.yaml and see that it binds to the my-bookshop-db-hdi-container service that you’ve created in step 2.
-
In the deploy log, find the application URL in the routes line at the very end:
```Shell/Bash
name: my-bookshop-srv
requested state: started
routes: my-bookshop-srv-....cfapps.sap.hana.ondemand.com
```

Open this URL in the browser and try out the provided links, for example, .../browse/catalog/Books. Application data is fetched from SAP HANA.
