Codebase Preparation

Introduction

In this section, you will prepare a workspace in SAP Business Application Studio and clone the workshop repository there. Then you will prepare the code to be deployed.

Task Flow

In this exercise, you will perform the following tasks:

1. Create development space
2. Clone repository
3. Prepare the codebase

Content

Task 1: Create development space

1. In SAP BTP Cockpit, navigate to your subaccount.

2. From your left-side subaccount menu, navigate to Services → Instances and Subscriptions.

3. Select Go To Application button for SAP Business Application Studio.

4. Select Create Dev Space button.

5. Enter dev as the space name and select Full Stack Cloud Application. Then choose Create Dev Space button.

It may take several minutes. Please be patient.

6. After the space status has been changed to RUNNING select the space name to navigate into.

Task 2: Clone repository

1. On the initial screen choose the "burger" button and then select View → Terminal option in the popup menu.

2. Switch to the projects folder with the following command:

cd projects

3. Clone the repository with the following command:

git clone https://github.com/SAP-samples/btp-end-to-end-scenario-use-cases.git -b topic2app

4. After the cloning has been finished you will see a new project author-readings in the Get Started window. Just select it to open.

Task 3: Prepare the codebase

As all the workshop participants work in one subaccount and one SAP S/4 HANA Cloud system the name of the created artifacts must be unique. To distinguish the objects for all participants in the workshop use the following naming convention: Replace {YOUR_ID} in every exercise with your initials plus a 3 digit number. For example instead of MY_OBJECT_{YOUR_ID}, use MY_OBJECT_AB123.

1. On the left side in the file explorer select btp-end-to-end-scenario-use-cases folder and call the popup menu. Select Find in Folder... option.

2. Enter {YOUR_ID} as the text to find and your ID (e.g. ab123) as the text to replace. Select Replace all button afterwards.

3. Select the "burger" button to call the main menu and select View → Terminal option.

4. In the terminal install the packages with the command:

npm i --save-dev

Result

You have now the codebase with your application ready to be deployed.
