Can not connect to a SAP BTP Trial ABAP Environment instance

[Andre_Fischer]

In this blog I will collect error messages that you may see when you try to connect to your SAP BTP Trial ABAP Environment instance.

1. "The uaa credentials of the service key used to create this project are no longer valid. Please create a new project using the ABAP Cloud Project Wizard."I received this message when trying to open an ABAP Cloud project that pointed to a trial instance that I had deleted.The error message given is misleading in this case since you can only create a new project once you have created a new instance of the ABAP environment in your trial account as described here:Create an SAP BTP ABAP Environment Trial User | Tutorials for SAP Developers
   
   


2. com.sap.adt.compatibility.exceptions.OutDatedClientException:
   The message content is not acceptableThough this error is not really a connection problem it turned out that it occurs when a user tried to publish a service binding using an outdated ADT installation.
   
   Installing the latest version of ADT tools solved the issue.


3. com.sap.adt.compatibility.exceptions.OutDatedClientException
   
   You get an error message that contains the follwoing stringcom.sap.adt.compatibility.exceptions.OutDatedClientException.
   As described in this blog https://blogs.sap.com/2019/10/22/update-for-abap-development-tools-fails-when-using-an-outdated-ecli... we only support the latest versions of Eclipse to be used with the latest ADT plugin.
   
   Solution:
   Make sure that you configure the update sites of both Eclipse and ADT so that they point to the latest version.

 

 

I will continue to add additional error messages once I stumble across one.
