The development environment used for this course consists of the SAP Cloud Platform ABAP Environment and ABAP Development Tools for Eclipse. You can watch unit 5 of week 1: Preparing Your ABAP Development Environment on the openSAP.com platform.
In this hands-on exercise, you will set up your ABAP development environment for the development of applications with the ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model (RAP) on the SAP Cloud Platform ABAP Environment.
Follow the instructions below.
To install ADT, check out the prerequisites and follow the procedure provided on the ABAP Development Tools site: https://tools.hana.ondemand.com/#abap
To onboard to the trial ABAP environment, check out the prerequisites and follow the instructions described in the tutorial:
https://developers.sap.com/tutorials/abap-environment-trial-onboarding.html
The tutorial also describes how to create an ABAP cloud project in ADT to connect to your SAP Cloud Platform ABAP Environment Trial account.
Please note
A faster onboarding process (using Boosters) is described in the tutorial. The Boosters-based process is different and faster than the one shown in the course video.
In case you have already onboarded to the SAP Cloud Platform ABAP environment trial (Step 2) and would like to access your Service Key in the SAP Cloud Platform trial cockpit, please follow the instructions provided below.
