Hi all,
I was trying, unsuccessfully, to use the SAPUI5 kit on the AWS Hana instance. There are various sources of information how to install SAPUI5 (why is it not installed by default in the first place?), all of which, at least in my case, did not lead to a successful installation:
- Most sources refer to the section 10.1 of the Developer Guide. The title of this section is "10.1 Data Access with JavaScript in SAP HANA XS", so this is certainly not the right one. The title of the section 11.1.1 is "Installing SAPUI5 Application Development Tools", so this looks more like the one.
- This section then says "SAPUI5 application development tools are downloaded from the SAP Software Download Center on SAP Service Marketplace (http://service.sap.com/swdc) and search for SAPUI5 TOOLS IDE PLUGIN 1.00." This assumes that each Hana One user has an access to the SAP Service Marketplace, which is obviously not the case.
- I happen to have access, however when searching for this string, all I get are three packages with some pdf documents, no code. This is probably due to the fact that my company has not bought a Hana licence, we have only another SAP product. So this path stops here.
- There is a video http://www.saphana.com/docs/DOC-3034 which handles the SAPUI5 installation. Strangely, instead of telling where to download the package, it says that the author is using an internal SAP download URL which does not work from the outside, customers are referred to the online help and to the Developer Guide which allegedly contains the download URL. It does not.
- Other blogs here say that the AWS Hana should use Import/Delivery Unit to download the package from the server. This seemed quite promising, the package is there and I could start the import. Unfortunately, after the import, Hana Studio shows no sign of having the package installed. In Help/About/Installation Details the SAPUI5 package is nowhere to be seen and when trying to create a UI5 project in New/Other, there are no SAPUI5 entries here, so well visible in the exercise videos. Another bummer.
So, please, would it be possible to present some uniform documentation that tells the user how to really install SAPUI5?
Cheers,
