In this and the next Blogs I will show you how you can set up your SAP Web IDE on Hana Cloud. I cut this in 5 parts:
|
|
| part 2 |
|
| part 3 this part 😉 |
|
| part 4 |
|
| part 5 |
|
| part 6 (old part 5) |
|
In the part 2 we have configured our SAP HANA Cloud Connector with a virtual server pointing to a given real server. This was pretty easy to do: now we have to say to our SAP Web IDE to point to the virtual server we have created, mapping to it all the related resources. We are going to setup, in the SAP HANA Cloud Cockpit, a new destination: this destination will give to the SAP Web IDE, the information about where to look for the specified backend.
Since you want to use the paths “/sap/opu/odata”, “/sap/bc/adt” and “/sap/bc/ui5_ui5”, you need to specify the usages odata_abap, dev_abap and ui5_execute_abap according to the table in the previous part.
Connecting remote system
From the HANA Cloud cockpit click on the left side on the link Destinations
Click on New Destination
Enter the following parameters and click on Save
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | gm6 |
| Type | HTTP |
| Description | GM6 |
| URL | https://gm6.virtual:44333 |
| ProysType | OnPremise |
| Authentication | NoAuthentication |
Then click on New Property
Add the following new additional parameters:
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| WebIDEEnabled | true |
| WebIDEUsage | odata_abap,dev_abap,ui5_execute_abap |
| WebIDESystem | GM6 |
When finished click on Save
At the end you should have the following situation
Pay attention to the fact that:
- the WebIDEUsage is a concatenation of some of the usages taken from the table at the previous part: just the ones we want to include in our
destination - the URL is not really the address of the real server, but it’s just the name of a virtual server.

If you have reached this point, you might want to know if your system is really working or not. Let’s test it by creating a new SAP Fiori App that will consume the OData services provided by our GM6 backend. See part 4 🙂

Hi Claudia,
Clear explanation,
Thank you.
One point that i need but not in blog, setting client number for on premise system. i added sap-client property to destination configuration at hana cloud cockpit
Regards
Thanks for this information!
Hi Claudia,
Followed all the steps but i get this error in webide . Do i need to configure anything extra .
I am trying to connect to external GW system . From my logon pad i able to access the GW system.
Hi Kaitha,
Kindly attach a screen shot of your configured destination.
Thanks,
Michal.
Hi Arun,
You are using the wrong address inthe URL. This value should be the ‘Virtual server’ and ‘port’ that you entered while adding the system in SAP Cloud connector (in the your local SAP system). Go to the cloud connect and the list will show you the virtual address cloud connector is using.
/sap/opu/odata is a resource that should be added in Cloud connector. Its not a URL. Hope this helps.
Remove the /sap/opu/odata from the url
Can you give us more details.
Have you read this blog which explain the steps for a external GW:
http://scn.sap.com/community/developer-center/front-end/blog/2014/06/22/how-to-configure-an-external-gw-system-with-sap-river-rde
Yes , i have followed the blog but the property Proxy Type as Internet is the root cause for my error i suppose because when i changed that property to On-premise my error vanished . As there are few issues with my access to the Gateway system couldn’t test end to end .
hi Claudia,
i have followed ur steps mentioned above, but i m getting below error.
Configured Destination
Please help to solve the error, that where i m missing exactly
I am using trail version for this.

Are you using HANA Cloud Connector?
Share how you configured your system there, and also the network trace will be helpful.
Thanks Michal for your quick answer!
prathik jois I used the virtual host at the HCP. Are you using a Cloud Connector? If yes, as Michal wrote please let us know the configuration of it.
Thanks
Claudi

Great write up Claudia. Helped me a lot to add my system to cloud SAP Web IDE. I can start my Fiori journey now.. 🙂
Great article,
Thank you for your posting. I am having an issue, I am new to HCP, I follow steps which you provided set up Cloud Connector and then add Destination with all attributes. However I got a message “Backend Status could not be determined”. Please help me solve this issue.
