Test SAP HANA, express edition

1. In your VM, log in to XSA services:

   bash

   Copy

   xs-admin-login
   

2. When prompted for the XSA_ADMIN password, enter the master password

   You specified this password when you were prompted for the HANA database master password earlier in Start SAP HANA, express edition Server.

If you want the XSA messaging service, issue these commands to start the messaging service applications:

xs start messaging-service-hub
xs start messaging-service-node
xs start messaging-service-broker

   bash

   Copy

   xs apps | grep webide
   

   

2. Check that the application webide shows STARTED in the list of XSA applications, and has 1/1 instances. (If the output shows 0/1 in the instance column, the application is not started.)

   Note:
   Normally it only takes a few minutes for XSA services to start. However, depending on your machine, it can take over 30 minutes for XSA services to begin. If the service doesn’t show STARTED and doesn’t show 1/1 instances, keep waiting until the service is enabled.

   Make a note of the URL for webide.

3. Test your Web IDE connection. Enter the URL for Web IDE in a browser on your laptop.

   bash

You recorded the IP address earlier in Start SAP HANA, express edition Server. A success page displays. This indicates that XSC is running:

Note:
SAP plans to remove SAP HANA extended application services, classic model (XSC) and the corresponding SAP HANA Repository with the next major product version of SAP HANA.

These components will be removed:

• SAP HANA extended application services, classic model

• SAP HANA Repository (XS classic)

• SAP HANA Studio (Development, Modeling, and Administration perspectives)

• SAP HANA Web-based Development Workbench (XS classic)

SAP strongly advises you to plan the transition of existing content and applications from XSC to SAP HANA extended application services, advanced model (XS Advanced).

• Drivers and connectors for Python, Node.js, .NET, Java and others: Check sample applications using different drivers and languages such as Node.js and Python.

• Learn XS Advanced basics: Explore the basics of XS Advanced tools, such as the administration cockpit or SAP Web IDE for SAP HANA. This tutorial includes a step for mapping the tenant database to the development space. See SAP HANA XS Advanced, explore the basic tools.
