How to add support for SAP HANA – Cloud Application Programming Model

Github repository:

To be published soon…

Introduction:

• In this session (series of 3 videos – Part 1, Part 2, Part 3), we will look at how to add support for SAP HANA in Cloud Application Programming Model

Synopsis:

• Cloud Application Programming Model (CAPM) is a framework for building enterprise-grade services and applications
• SAP Business Application Studio is the next generation SAP Web IDE.  It is now generally available for SAP’s Multi-Cloud environment (Cloud Foundry)
• We will be using the SAP Business Application Studio for this series on Cloud Application Programming Model
• With CAP model, you can simply focus on writing business logic and most of the boiler plate code is handled by SAP
• So in a sense CAP model is opinionated, but at the same time provides the developer enough flexibility if they want to customize any part of the process

Steps:

• Part 1- We will create a simple OData V4 Service with 2 entities: Projects and Users
• Part 1 – We also define a 1-to-many relationship between the Projects and Users entities
• Part 1 – Add some initial data to the entities
• Part 2 – We clean up the code a little bit by moving the entity related code to the db folder
• Part 3 – We add support for SAP HANA
• Part 3 – We make sure we can work with SAP HANA in the local environment
• Part 3 – We make sure we can work with SAP HANA in the CF environment

Conclusion:

• This video should give a clear idea on how to add support for SAP HANA and build OData Services in Cloud Application Programming Model
• In the next video, we will look at how we can implement some basic custom handlers
• If you have any questions or comments, please list them below and I will be happy to answer
