Product Information
SAP Business Application Studio is Generally Available!
Three months ago, we announced the beta release of SAP Business Application Studio, and today we are happy to announce that SAP Business Application Studio has recently been released to customers on Azure, AWS, Ali-Cloud.
SAP Business Application Studio is the next generation of the iconic ? SAP Web IDE. It aims to significantly improve the development experience by providing developers more control over their environment and code.
SAP Business Application Studio comes out of the box with predefined set of development environments – Dev-Spaces (virtual machine on the cloud where you can develop, build, test and run using pre-installed runtimes and tools) tailored for developing SAP business scenarios.
As the product evolves*, additional SAP scenarios and technologies will be added. The product will introduce a series of productivity tools that aim to improve the development efficiency and reduce the total cost of ownership. Some examples for the productivity tools: wizards, project templates, service consumption tool, deployment tool, graphical editors and more. The official roadmap will be released soon.
for additional product updates Follow the SAP Business Application Studio community page.
Availability
SAP Business Application Studio is now generally available on SAP’s Multi-Cloud environment (Cloud Foundry) for productive use.
The SAP Business Application trial environment is planned to be available for test and evaluation in the upcoming weeks.
SAP Web IDE Full stack will continue to be available and supported. SAP Cloud Platform, Neo customers should continue using SAP Web IDE as their recommended development environment.

Hi,
any plans on local (aka flight-mode, w/o mini-docker-/k8-ization) installations options?
thx, v.
Hi Volker,
We are thinking about it - currently under evaluation.
Nir
Hi Nir,
Do you know the result of the evaluation? Will be the business applikation studio available for on premise? Do you know any release date for that?
Thanks ans regards
Christian
Correct me if I'm wrong (It's hard to find concrete information on this). But since BAS utilizes much of the same components of VS.Code you can already to a lot of development in VS.Code. That's what we did in the Business Intelligence Training last september. Actual local execution in the form of workstation based containers would then be very nice and promote multiple developers working on separate features (branching).
SAP should just fully embrace VS Code anyway rather than having their own flavour. And while they're at it... ditch Fiori and just go fully React. 😉
You are comparing a design language with a web development library.You can use Fiori with React today, using UI5 Web Components. https://sap.github.io/ui5-webcomponents/
VS Code is not really open-source, it is based on open-source. Eclipse Theia is a truly open-source initiative and SAP Business Application Studio is based on it.
Whould be great, if SAP BAS would be part of SAP HANA Express SPS05.... ( 😉 )
Hi,
is this currently not available for partner accounts? I can't find the subscription anywhere in our Cloud Foundry subaccount.
Is it planned to release it to partner accounts in the future?
Cheers,
Dominik
Hi,
Yes, it will be available soon.
I will be happy to share once it is available.
Thanks,
Keren
Hi Keren,
thanks for the heads up, good to hear!
Kind regards,
Dominik
Hi Dominik,
SAP Business Application Studio is available for partners as an Add-on service.
Thanks,
Keren
Hi Keren.
Can you guide us towards documentation or at least a general direction to how we can get it? We have a a partner Innovation Pack for SAP Cloud Platform, with Multi-Cloud add-on Pack. When I go to PartnerEdge, I cannot find an add-on service for Business Application Studio.
best regards
Ronnie
Hi Ronnie,
It is available as an Add on service for a while, try this link.
I know partners already purchased it.
If you face additional issues, feel free to send us an email SAPBusinessApplicationStudio@sap.com
Thanks,
Keren
Plans for flight mode, µ-docker-/k8-s : SUPER, Thank you!
Hi Michael,
We are thinking about it – currently under evaluation.

FWIW, i think i caught an early glimpse when renewing one of my P accounts the other day, but that got mangled with authentication - my S account renews in 2 days, so there will be another chance. in any event not a big fan of VSCode, but ok with MIT license, i think.
What about a partner's cloud offers? Do you plan to make it available there?
Hi,
Yes, it will be available soon.
I will be happy to share once it is available.

Keren

I would really like to try this out, but management says they can't find it in PartnerEdge. Will BAS eventually be available there and if yes, when?
Thanks
Hi Daniel,
Yes, we are working on this.

Hi,
is it possible to use vscode extensions in SAP Business Application Studio?
Thanks,
Frederik
Hello Frederik,
I have just tried it and it is possible. The easiest option is to download vscode extension. Drag the .vsix file from your computer to a directory in SAP Business Application Studio. Then open command search: View->Find Command-> "Deploy Plugin By Id"
Then you should enter the "directory" which contains the .vsix file and hit Enter.
If you uploaded it under "YourFioriApp" directory, you should enter something like:
You can check the result from your browser's console. You may need to refresh the page.

Fatih
Hi, I'm just confirming that this is indeed working. Thanks!
Hello Frederik, I have documented the process here for future reference: https://blogs.sap.com/2020/04/12/how-to-install-a-vs-code-extension-to-sap-business-application-studio/
Is it available now ?
I see it in the service catalog but not in the lists of possible subscriptions, quotas and entitlements. I tried in CF Frankfurt and Amsterdam.
Thanks.
Hi Remi, I was able to try it using the trial account.

Fatih
Hi,
I not create dev space in my trail CF. Can the desktop IDE be downloaded?
Hi all,
I've a question regarding connecting a remote Git-repo which requires certificate authentication to SAP Business Application Studio
=> https://answers.sap.com/questions/13020697/fail-to-connect-to-a-public-git-server-that-requir.html
Any tutorials or guides available? Or is this feature not available yet in BAS as it is possible for WebIDE.
Thanks and regards,
Marco
Hi all,
Is Application Studio's " Mobile Services App Development Tools" available on Ali-Cloud?
I still cannot create "SAP Mobile Services Dev Space" (only "SAP Fiori Dev Space") on Ali-Cloud landscape.
Thanks and regards,
Sindy
Hi there, probably not the best place to ask this, but I'll try anyway.
First of all the tool is amazing and integrates really well into my existing workflows!
However, there is an issue I couldn't overcome so far.
When I want to clone a git repo e.g. from SAPs internal Github, it gives me
.
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.wdf.sap.corp/<my repo url>/': Received HTTP code 502 from proxy after CONNECT
I would assume connecting to git repos should be supported out of the box, since all the tools are in place, or am I missing something?
Thanks!
Robin
We,
a development team from SAP IBSO / IT have the same issue!
Greetings
Florian
We also have the same issue.
Thx Eric
Hi Robin,
Great to hear your feedback, thanks for sharing.
The reason for that is because you should configure the cloud connector to the internal git.
If you would like a guide for that, feel free to send me an email.
Thanks,
Keren
Hi there,
would be great if you can send me that info via mail (robin.reeb@sap.com).
I also got the following info from another colleague:
"which instance of the App Studio are you using? I just tried to clone a repo from the central canary landscape and this worked.
I can confirm that it is not working out-of-the-box for trial and other public landscapes which is on purpose as there is no separation between SAP and non-SAP employees there ?."
I was using the trial landscape on AWS frankfurt, I guess that is the reason. I will try to check if it works with our internal SCP CF canary account in parallel to confirm this.
Cheers,
Robin
Do we know when this will be available for use in Neo Environments?
I'd like to try swapping from WebIDE
Hi ,
SAP Business Application Studio is available on the SAP's Multi-Cloud environment (Cloud Foundry), it will not be available on Neo.
For Neo development, you can continue using Web IDE.
Thanks,
Keren
Hi Keren,
But Sap annouced to stop Neo Cloud ?
Hello Team,
Just a very basic question!
Is SAP Business Application Studio free to use in canary just for POC purpose? Or is there any cost involved for that too?

Ashmita Sinha
Hi Ashmita,
Please send me an email or email us to SAPBusinessApplicationStudio@sap.com

Hi,
Is it possible to use Application Studio to develop node.js module which access tables in hdi containers but not using CDS? Our goal is to write custom node.js code to interact with HANA tables (also DocStores) and stored procedures, could you please provide an example? Thank you.
Best wishes,
Mike
Hi Mike,
It should be possible but at the moment we don't offer all the tools to support this flow.
How complicated it's going to be, depends on what you plan to implement. You can’t create an hdb module from a template (SAP HANA development is not yet supported), so if you do need to create it, you will need to define the module manually and possibly CLI tools to deploy it. If you only plan to read from HANA tables then it should be simpler. I'm afraid I don't have at hand any example to share, but in general these are the steps you should follow:
Thanks,
Liat
Hi,
Thanks for sharing this information. SAP Business Application studio is a great tool. However, I wonder now what to pick SAP Business Application Studio or SAP Cloud Application Rapid tool by Mendix for quick turn around of Fiori application and extension ?
Regards
Anusha Saxena
Hi Experts,
I want to try the new tool. My Sales Rep told me to test it directly in the SCP.
I can´t find the place where the Trial Button is available.
Could you help me?
Kind regards
Sigi
Hi Sigi,
Take a look at this tutorial https://developers.sap.com/tutorials/appstudio-onboarding.html
Thanks,
Keren
Hello,
Is there any plans for a release on google cloud?
Thanks a lot
Adrien
Hi Adrien,
Currently that is not on the roadmap.
Business Application Studio is available in various data centers in AWS, Azure and Ali-Cloud. See the full list here
Thanks,
Keren
Hi,
we want to use the new SAP Business Application Studio (on Cloud foundry) for development instead of SAP Web-IDE fullstack (on Neo) connected to an ABAP backend System (SAP Simple Finance on-prem running on HANA DB). The deployment should happen on this ABAP on-prem system (with embedded FES/Gateway - FLP running on this machine).
Is it correct that the minimum system requirements for the ABAP back end system in order to use the new SAP Business Application Studio is SAP_UI 753 SP00 (or higher) and the ABAP Platform 1809 (ABAP 7.53)?
Thanks and best regards
Hi Stephan Zeeh ,
The target ABAP system for deployment must include the SAP_UI 753 SP00 or higher software component, available from SAP Fiori FES 5.0. See SAP Note 2217489. Additional details are available in SAP Business Application Studio documentation.
For developing adaptation projects with SAP business Application Studio, pre-requisites are:
Additional details are available in SAP Business Application Studio documentation.

Raz
Hi Raz Korn,
thanks for the info - we have SAP_UI 7.53 SP02, which should be sufficient and the implementation of SNOTE 2615176 is not needed ...
Is it possible to have SAPUI5 version 1.71 with SAP_UI 7.53 SP..?
I understood SAPUI5 version is maximum 1.60.x in this scenario.
We have still an ERP on HANA DB (based on NW 7.50) instead of S/4HANA on-prem / ABAP 1809. Does this work as well?!
Thnaks and best regards
Stephan
Hello Raz Korn,
Thank you for the info. Our Gateway is on SAP_UI 754 SP 005 (FES6.0) but our backend is on NW 740 SP19 EHP 7 (ERP on HANA).
I hope this should not be an issue. Can you please clarify?
If I'm using the trial account and already subscribed to SAP Web IDE, should I unsubscribe to have access to BAS?
Hi Allan Mauricio Garcia ,
From trial perspective the two products are not related.
SAP Web IDE is available on SAP Cloud Platform Neo trial, while BAS is available on SAP Cloud Platform Cloud Foundry trial.
You should be aware that SAP Cloud Platform Neo trial will be retired on Nov 13th, 2020, including SAP Web IDE trial. Refer to the following blog for more info.
Regards - Raz
Hi,
are there any plans to add the planned features of the SAP BAS also in the SAP Road Map Explorer (https://roadmaps.sap.com/)? I think this would be very useful...
Or do you now another dynamic central page/place where to see the planned next features? Currently I only found some single slides e.g. https://dam.sap.com/mac/app/p/pdf/asset/preview/85740 (slide 14)
Many thanks and best regards
Jens
Hi Jens G ,
You should expect to see BAS planned features in SAP Roadmap Explorer soon.
Regards - Raz
Hi @all,
who's interested: SAP BAS has meanwhile been included in the SAP road map explorer 😀
