In my previous blog, I have introduced the cloud portal template for the API developer port in the SAP HANA Cloud Platform (HCP), API management. The previous blog described how you can download the sample cloud portal template in GitHub; and in this blog, we are going to import the template into the SAP HCP, portal service and see how to set up the template for your usage.

Pre-requisites

  • Sign up here for a free trial of SAP HANA Cloud Platform.

  • Sign up here for a free trial of SAP HANA Cloud Platform, API management.

  • Refer to the blog for an Overview of SAP HANA Cloud Platform, API management.
