      Are there any plans to simply move WebIDE to the Cloud Foundry?

      if I have 2 Cloud Foundry Accounts - how could I consolidate them to one?

      For some reason I have one Cloud Foundry Beta and one is a general accounts - there is no visibility of these accounts administration

      Hi Adi,

      SAP Web IDE is planned to become available on the multi cloud environment.

      Regarding the other SAP Cloud Platform related questions, I am not sure I can address these generic questions as a subaccount can contain many assets from different services. As a general comment, usually, beta accounts are different and cannot be consolidated with regular accounts. As for production/trial accounts, I suggest you check which assets you can copy/paste or export/import.

      Hi,

       

      Is it possible to configure launchpad module without using SAP Web IDE and with native cf push functionality?

       

      Best Regards,

      Pavel

      Hi Pavel,

      You can configure the launchpad module in the IDA of your choice.

      I think you would have to use the cf push command that is available with SAP extending the API. After you test it and if you have issues, please contact me and I will be happy to assist. You can use it in your CI/CD cycle. Why do you prefer not to use it?

       

      Best,

      Iris

      We have many UI5 and JAVA modules, each module has it's own git repository. If I create an MTA project in SAPWebIDE it requires only a single repository for all modules.

      But I like MTA applications and we use it without WebIDE.

      So the issue is creating launchpad module SAPWebIDE creates CommonDataModel.json with predefined values, and there is no documentation for that. How I can setup the file locally?

      Hi Pavel,

      You can find the CommonDateModel.json documentation: https://help.sap.com/viewer/ad4b9f0b14b0458cad9bd27bf435637d/Cloud/en-US/30c71468bc414e889f78eb0eabc64aba.html

      See the sub sections for for code samples of this file.

      Does this help you with the configuration on setting up this file?

       

      Best

      Iris.

      Hi Iris,

       

      I have followed the steps as mentioned on the groups. I amĀ  successfully able to build my project. However, while deploying I am getting error as

      Deployment of site content to persistency failed [Deployment Id:none] , Error: Deploy to portal service failed, got status = 500, data: Failed to deploy site, instance id: b326cdfa-f5b6-486f-9621-13c560153089, correlation id: b144fc6e-1662-4bc3-a8d7-f3ffb2078a7f - Error: Failed to search all appHostIds, missing apps: DrawingsApp,CardApp.CardApp (STDERR, APP/TASK/deploy)#

       

      Could you please suggest if I am missing anything?

      Hello Iris

      These are great introductory blogs.

      One question I have is that in FLP site management on Neo, the UI5 version could be set to a long term maintenance version of SAP UI5 that all UI5 applications inherited.

      From what I understand, this is no longer set at CF FLP level (if you created using Site Manager), instead it's the responsibility of individual applications to set UI5 version. (theoretically does this mean that you can have different apps on same CF FLP running with different UI5 versions ?)

      Previous advice on Neo is that UI5 applicaitons destined for Production should be developed to UI5 Long Term Maintenance version (at the moment U 1.60). Is this still the case with Cloud Foundry?

      Thanks in advance

      Mike
