Is there something like HANA cloud platform cockpit for local HANA XS (Web IDE) installation?

[denis_tislenko]

Dear experts,

We are trying to setup our Web IDE on a HANA XS local installation. Unlike in the Cloud version we cannot find a "HANA Cloud Platform Cockpit" where everything (e.g. Git Service) is turned on/off and configured.

Our Basis Admin, who set everything up, found quite a lot of reading material but Hana Platform Cockpit is no where mentioned and "HANA Cockpit" seems to be different.

Right now we have a Web IDE that can't run imported projects, can't push/pull a project after cloning a git repository and we generally can't find any "Services"-Oriented configuration Panel.

This is what we are looking for (screenshot from on-trial account in cloud platform:

And this is the only thing we could find in our local installation:

If we click on the tile: SAP HANA Cockpit, the only thing we get is:

Please help!

Best regards,

Denis

Denis,

you may be looking for 2 different things.. as you saw the first screenshot is from the HCP cockpit... while the next 2 screenshots you have there are from the HANA DB cockpit.

as far as the XS development... you can do 2 things

1) connect via your HANA Studio to your HANA Environment. .. you will need to provide credentials and HANA host and port information

2) open the development workbench (browser base tool) from : 

yourHost:port/sap/hana/ide 

there are 4 tiles (security roles apply to each):

a) Editor - where you can develop XS, CDS, Models, etc

b) Catalog - access to your schemas, tables, and sql console

c) Traces - to see any traces related to your system

d) Security - users, etc

I do not know if you will have access to all the hcp services from your on prem environment - others may suggest otherwise.

hope this is helpful

Hi Sergio,

thanks for your help.

Unfortunately we do not want to create an XS application. We have an XS Installation with an SAP Web IDE installed. We would like to use this SAP Web IDE for SAPUI5 & Fiori development.

The Problem we're facing is that we can't find a configuration panel for this SAP Web IDE like "HANA Cloud Platform Cockpit".

We're missing a lot of features in our installation compared to the Trail-Account online and our basis admin has 4 different documents none of which talks explicitly about this topic.

For example we're looking for a Git Setup, we're missing the entire "Home Screen" and we have no templates in the project creation.

It would be sufficient for us to get pointed to a document explaining our admin what he is missing (additional content to install, authorizations, url?). Any help is appreciated.

Best Regards,

Denis

The SAP Web IDE on HCP is NOT the same product as the SAP Web IDE for SAP HANA (delivered for XSA development in on premise HANA as of SPS 11).  The SAP Web IDE on HCP focuses on SAPUI5 and Fiori based development. It has no tools for HANA database artifacts or Node.js based development.  The SAP Web IDE for SAP HANA, on the other hand, does focus primarily on HANA database development and Node.js development. It does not contain the SAPUI5 or Fiori project wizards, templates or WYSIWYG UI5 view editor of the SAP Web IDE on HCP.

Hello Thomas,

thank you for that. Does that mean that there is no local Web IDE server installation for SAPUI5 and Fiori appart from the trial version (and the SAP cloud)? We want to do proper product development and we don't want to go for the cloud and the trial version is no proper solution either.

Best Regards,

Denis

Although we plan to offer some Fiori tooling in the SAP Web IDE for SAP HANA in the future; for now the priority is the core HANA and XSA development tools.

For the various options for the SAP Web IDE (other tool - not the SAP Web IDE for SAP HANA), I would refer you to this page:
