Download and Installation of the SAP Cloud Applications Studio
The studio is version-dependent. That means that if I'm running SAP Business ByDesign
release 1811, I should also be using release 1811 of the SAP Cloud Applications Studio to do
my development
I wouldn't be able to, let's say, use release 1811 of SAP Business ByDesign in conjunction with
release 1808 of the SAP Cloud Applications Studio.
The content that we build though I will say is forward compatible. So that means that anything
that we build in 1808, would automatically be ready for 1811, and so forth.
Some commercial prerequisites: To be able to download from the SAP Service Marketplace,
you obviously have to have an S-user.
But more importantly, you have to have an authorized S-user to download the SAP Cloud
Applications Studio. How do you become authorized?
Well, you need to sign the correct contract, and then pay your associated fees, and then some
S-User at your company will become authorized.
You can manage your authorization as well by going to the SAP PartnerEdge Portal, so
sappartneredge.com
go to Partner Login -> My Partnership -> Manage My Partnership Application.
Technical prerequisites: You'll need to be running Microsoft Windows, specifically either XP,
Vista, or 7 and up
Now with this, we need this because we use Microsoft Visual Studio as our path or way of
doing development with the SAP Cloud Applications Studio.
So that means that it's technically not available on a Macintosh, or a Linux, or Unix – I
specifically, run a Mac but I also have Windows as a VM.
So you'll need Microsoft Windows to be able to install the studio itself.
Some other things that you'll need are that you'll need a Microsoft .NET Framework, you'll need
obviously Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 isolated shell.
If you already have Microsoft Studio, then you should be okay. And you also need Microsoft Silverlight.
If you've already been using SAP Business ByDesign, you likely already have Silverlight
installed.
Now as you go and install the actual studio, it's going to do checks to make sure that you have
these things in place. And if not, it will help you in installing those different frameworks
correctly.
One last thing before we go into seeing where to download is updates. So every release in
itself will have a new version of the studio,
But even within a release, we have updates that come out. These updates will usually include
bug fixes, maybe minor changes, enhancements to documentation,
And you can want to make sure that you use the most recent updated version of the studio, so
you're getting the full benefit of it
Now you can always go back to the Service Marketplace to download those updates, or you
can also, within your SDK, the studio itself, be able to have it automatically check.
If you go into the Administration menu -> Options and Settings -> Updates, there's a place
where can say: “Check for updates”, and set some timeline when it should be continuously
checking.
We'll see this later when we get into the studio itself.
Okay, let's go ahead and look at the ... where to download. I am in the Service Marketplace
here.
I went to service.sap.com, and let's go to the SAP Support Portal.
In here, I'm going to look at Download Software – and you get logged in here, so it doesn't
keep asking for certificates.
OK, Download Software, and then we're going to use the search for software.
This is the easiest way to find it, I can go in and be able to search for “SAP Cloud Applications
Studio”. Let's go ahead and click Search.
And once this comes up, you'll see a list of the studio builds themselves in different releases.
So you can see there's builds back to 1302, 1305, etc. all the way up to 1811 where we are
today.
For us, we're going to be using 1811 currently, so I'm going to select my first result there and
say SAP CLOUD APP STUDIO 1811, # OS independent,
and then I'll add this to my download basket and download it.
Now once I go ahead and download this, it's going to give me a file that looks very much like
this.
You see it's an MSI file, and I can run this, and it'll go to actually try and install the studio. And here is where it'll check to make sure you have the proper frameworks in place, etc. And
once that's done, you should see a new icon on your desktop as well as a new menu for SAP
Cloud Applications Studio 1811.
Now I have it pinned down here on my taskbar since I use it quite often. And the first thing you'll see is that you get a login prompt here. I'm going to go ahead, we
need to be able to connect to a specific tenant to do our development,
Whether it's a test tenant, a production tenant to upload, whatever it might be.So we need to maintain the different tenants that we use. And we can do that, do this login just
by clicking on this pencil.And it's going to show us this Options menu. I can also get this by going to Administration and then Options from there. And the Connectivity tab will open up, and I'll see a list of entries.
Now you may have a lot of other entries in there, things that don't make sense. You can always
go ahead and just delete the one that is there.
I've gone ahead and added my own tenant, specifically that here, this is the test tenant that I
will be developing on throughout this course.
The important thing is that you give it a name, it could be any type of name you want. Keep it
descriptive for you as you may find that you'll have a large list of tenants that you develop on,
depending on what your scenario is. And then the hostname. And the hostname is the actual URL of your tenant. Notice to keep
out that I don't have HTTP or //, I've nothing after the .com
It's just a my3...sapbydesign.com.
After you have that, you may also want to check if you need a proxy. As I'm on a corporate
network, I need a proxy as well.
Then I'm going to go ahead and hit Save after I've made all my changes, and say OK.And now I actually have the studio ready, and I can start developing
release 1811, I should also be using release 1811 of the SAP Cloud Applications Studio to do
my development
I wouldn't be able to, let's say, use release 1811 of SAP Business ByDesign in conjunction with
release 1808 of the SAP Cloud Applications Studio.
