SAP HANA XS Advanced - Clone and run SHINE applications

Open SAP Web IDE for SAP HANA and log in with a developer user.

Note: By default, the URL for Web IDE in SAP HANA, express edition is https://hxehost:53075. You can use command xs apps in space SAP in the Command Line Interface to find out the right

Right-click on the Workspace and click on Git-> Clone Repository:

Copy the URL https://github.com/SAP/hana-shine-xsa into the Clone Git Repository prompt and click on Clone

Wait until the repository is cloned. You will see a success message on the top right corner of Web IDE and the folder in your workspace:

Right-click on the imported project and go to Project Settings:

Set the space development to the project:

Close the settings dialog.

You will need to complete some configurations in the deployment descriptor with the proper endpoints.

Open the mta.yaml file and click on the Resources tab in editor mode. Select the uaa resource

Replace the hostname and instance number with the right value for your system.

Note: The default hostname for SAP HANA, express edition instances is hxehost and the default instance number is 90.

For example:

Click on the controller resource and replace the hostname and instance number again:

Finally, you will change the name of the service for the shine-container so you can access it from your own multi-target application later. Click on the shine-container resource and add a parameter called service-name and the value shine-container

If you look at the list of resources in the mta.yaml file, you will find instances of the User Account and Authentication, the audit log and the job scheduler services. In order to meet the dependencies, these services need to be created. You can use the Command Line Interface for this, available in the server by default in SAP HANA, express edition instances. You can also install it locally using the download manager after you register in the SAP HANA, express edition site

First, locate the file xs-security.json that was cloned with the SHINE Git repository from an SSH console. Alternatively, you can export it from Web IDE and upload it to the directory from which you will be issuing the commands.

sudo find / -name xs-security.json

Copy the result as you will need it later when creating the UAA service:

Log in to the XS CLI using command xs login or xs-admin-login.

Make sure the job scheduler service is running using command xs a | grep scheduler in space SAP. If it is not running, start the necessary services using the following commands:

xs st jobscheduler-service
xs st jobscheduler-broker

For example:

You can now create the services. Make sure you create them in the same space in which you will deploy the SHINE application. In this case, the space is development.

xs t -s development
xs create-service xsuaa default shine-uaa -c <<path to xs-security.json>>
xs cs jobscheduler default shine-scheduler
xs cs auditlog free shine-auditlog

For example:

You will now make sure the proper services have been created. Run the following commands using CLI and copy the results in the validation below.

xs t -s development
xs s | grep shine

You will build the database modules first.

Start with the module user-db. Right click on its folder and then on Build:

And make sure the build is successful.

Repeat the steps with the core-db module.

The rest of the modules will be built automatically before they are run in the next step.

You will now run the modules in an order that satisfies dependencies between them. They will be built automatically before running. If you encounter an error stating No compatible version found, use the latest version quoted in the error to update the package.json file in the module that is failing.

For example, right-click con the user-js module and then click on Run->Run as->Node.js Application

If you get a build error, click on the link to the Logs

And take note of the versions suggested by npm

Open the package.json file for this module and update the dependency:

You can also get a hint of the dependencies you will need to adjust by right-clicking on each module and selecting Show dependency updates:

Save the package.json file with the updated dependencies and run the module.

Once the user-js module is running, run the core-js module:

Then run the user-java module:

Note: If you get an error about a dependency not being resolved, use Show dependency updates and update the file pom.xml

Check all the modules are running. You can quickly verify because you will see a green tick next to each one of them:

Finally, run the web module. Right-click on the web->resources->launchpad->index.html and click on Run as Web Application:

A new tab will open in the browser. You can click on the generated URL if the pop-up blocker did not allow the application to start.

Note: If you get an error related to the version of SAP UI5, update the version of the resource sapui5-provider in the mta.yaml file. Switch to the SAP space first with command xs s -t SAP and take note of the version informed by command xs mtas in the CLI for the UI5 library.

You may need to log in again. Use XSA_DEV and the password you set up.

The first execution of the SHINE launchpad will help you make sure the technical prerequisites are fulfilled. Click on the Check Prerequisites button:

Any missing dependencies will be marked for you. Click on each of the buttons for them to be automatically corrected:

You are finally presented with different options in the launchpad. Click on Generate Data:

You can increase the number of transactions in your database or reload master data:
