Build and Deploy a Java Application

In this step you will create a git repository in the Eclipse IDE and copy the repository of the ESPM application.

1. Copy the repository URL.

   • In your browser, go to https://github.com/SAP/cloud-espm-v2.

   • Choose Clone or Download, and copy the URL. You can click ( Copy to clipboard ).

2. Clone the Git repository in Eclipse.

   • In Eclipse, select Window > Perspective > Open Perspective > Other.

   • Select Git and click OK to open the Git perspective.

   • From the Git Repositories view on the left select Clone a Git repository.

     As you already copied the cloud-espm-v2 Git repository URL to your clipboard, the URI, Host, Repository path and Protocol fields are automatically filled.

     

   • Choose Next.

   • Select the master branch and choose Next.

   • You will see the directory where the application will be stored. Choose Finish.

The following steps describe how you can import and then update the Maven project (which fixes any Maven and POM dependency-related issues). Then you will build the Maven project in Eclipse.

1. Import and update the Maven project

   • In Eclipse, switch back to the Java EE perspective and go to File > Import.

   • From the Import box that appears select Maven > Existing Maven projects and choose Next.

   • Specify the root directory of the application (usually Git stores its information in your user folder, then a folder named “git” and then under a folder with the application name), then choose Finish.

   • To update the dependencies right click on the espm project > Maven > Update Project and choose OK from the box that appears.

     

2. Build the Maven project

   • Right click on the espm project > Run As > Maven build…

   • In the Goals field type in clean install and choose Run. In a couple of minutes the project will be build.

The steps below outline the way in which you can deploy the ESPM Application on the SAP Cloud Platform.

1. Go to the SAP Cloud Platform Cockpit and select the Neo trial button.

2. Go to Applications > Java Applications and click on Deploy Application.

3. Click on the Browse button next to the WAR File Location field and select the git folder > cloud-espm-v2 > deploy and then select the .war file.

4. Change the Application Name to espm and select Deploy.

5. Once you receive the message that your application has been successfully deployed, click on the Done button.

This step describes how to create a new Schema in the cockpit and bind it to the application.

1. Create a new schema

   • In the cockpit, select your account and choose SAP HANA / SAP ASE > Databases & Schemas from the navigation pane.

   • Select the New button and enter the following information in the pop-up window that appears, then click Save:

     Database ID	espm
     Database System	HANA MDC (<trial>)
     Password	The password for the database user. This is the one you chose when you created the SAP HANA / SAP ASE > Databases & Schemas

2. Bind the database to the application

   • Select your account and choose Applications > Java Applications from the Navigation pane.

   • Click on the name of the espm application.

   • From the Navigation pane select Configuration > Data Source Bindings.

   • Select the New Binding button and enter the following information in the pop up window, then select Save.

     Data Source	<default>
     DB/Schema ID	espm
     Database System	HANA (<shared>)

You need to add the Retailer role in the cockpit in order to be able to access the application with the Retailer UI.

1. Assign a user to the Retailer role.

   • In the cockpit, click on the espm application and go to Security > Roles.

   • Select Assign* and add your User ID. It is important that you add you user ID without the “trial” part.

     

2. Start and access the application

   • Start the ESPM application by going to Applications > Java Applications and selecting the espm application. Then choose the Start button.

   • Once the application has been started in the cockpit you can access it by using the URL under the Application URLs field.

   • In order to access the application with the Retailer, UI you need to change the webshop part of the URL to retailer.

   You can also access the application through the following links:

   • eCommerce site: https://espm<YourAccountName>.hanatrial.ondemand.com/espm-cloud-web/webshop

   • Retailer UI: https://espm<YourAccountName>.hanatrial.ondemand.com/espm-cloud-web/retailer

If you did not name the application ESPM during the deployment, you have to change the name part in the URL respectively.
