Included in Business Technology Platform

Analytics – augmented BI, Collaborative planning, Predictive analytics and data warehousingDatabase and data management – data pipelining, data virtualization, data governance, storage and processing, connect management, data orchestration and metadata managementIntelligent technologies – data-driven insights, intelligent RPA, artificial intelligence and IoT cloud and edgeApplication development and integration – integration suite, intelligent BPM, enterprise solutions and digital experience

Solutions and Services:

SAP BTP offers fast in-memory processing, sustainable, agile and solutions and services to integrate data and extend applications, and fully embedded analytics and intelligent technologies.services enable, facilitate, or accelerate the development of business applications and other platform services on SAP BTP

Regions:

You can deploy applications in different regions. each region represents a geographical location (example: Europe, US East) where applications, data, or services are hosted.Regions are provided either by SAP or by our Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) partners Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Alibaba Cloud. The third-party region providers operate the infrastructure layer of the regions, whereas SAP operated the platform layer and cloud foundry.A region is chosen at the subaccount level. For each subaccount, you select exactly one region (that is one data center).

Region:

Environments:

Environments constitute the actual platform-as-a-service offering of SAP BTP that allows for the development and administration of business applications. environments are anchored in SAP BTP on subaccount level.

Cloud foundry Environment: The cloud foundry environment enables you to develop new business applications and business services, supporting multiple runtimes, programming languages, libraries, and servicesABAP Environment: It allows you to create extension for ABAP-based products, such as SAP S/4HANA Cloud, and develop new cloud applications. You can transform existing ABAP-based custom code or extension to the cloud.Kyma Environment: The Kyma environment is a fully managed Kubernetes runtimes based on the open-source project “Kyma” that allows developers to extend SAP solutions with serverless functions and combine them with containerized microservicesNeo Environment: The Neo environment let you develop HTML5 and SAP Hana extended application services (SAP HANA XS) applications. You can also use the UI Development Toolkit for HTML5(SAPUI5) to develop rich user interfaces for modern web0based business applications

Enterprise and Trail Accounts:

Trail Accounts

Enterprise Account

Trail account lets you try out the platform for free

An enterprise account is usually associated with one SAP customer or partner

Access is open to everyone

It contains their purchased entitlements

Trail accounts are intended for personal exploration, and not for production use or team development

It groups together different subaccounts that an administrator makes available to users for deploying applications

Commercial models:

Global Enterprise Account:

Consumption based – Pay-as-you-gosubscription based – subscription

Account Model Feature Set A:

Global Account is the realization of a contract you made with SAP. A global account is used to manage subaccounts, members, entitlements and quotas. You receive entitlements and quotas to use platform resources per global account and then distribute the entitlements and quotas to the subaccount for actual consumption.Subaccounts let you structure a global account according to your organization’s and project’s requirements with regard to members, authorizations and entitlements.

Account Model Feature Set B:

 

Entitlements and Quotas:

When you purchase an enterprise account, you’re entitled to use a specific set of resources, such as the amount of memory that can be allocated to your applications.An entitlement is your right to provision and consume a resource, in other words, entitlements are the service plans that you’re entitle to use.A quota represents the numeric quantity that defines the maximum allowed consumption of a resource. In other words, how much of a service plan you’re entitled to use.

User and Member Management:

Member management happens at all levels from global account to space, while user management is done for deployed applications.User accounts enable users to log on to SAP BTP and access subaccounts and use services according to the permissions given to them.

Platform Users are usually developers, administrators or operators who deploy, administer, and trouble shoot applications and services on SAP BTPBusiness Users use the applications that are deployed to SAP BTP. For example, the end users of your deployed applications or users of subscribed apps or services, such as SAP Business Application Studio or SAP Web IDE, are business users.User Management refers to managing authentication and authorization for your business users. This is only done for your deployed applications.

Tools, Programming Models, Programming Languages, and APIs:

Tools – SAP BTP includes many tools to help you develop and manage applications and connect them to your on-premise systemsProgramming Languages – SAP BTP supports many different programming languages; the availability of each depends on the development environment you’re using.Cloud Application Programming: The cloud Application Programming offers a consistent end-to-end programming model that includes languages, libraries, and APIs that are tailored for full-stack development on SAP BTP.Continuous Integration and Delivery (CI/CD) – Depending on your use case, you can choose between different offerings for continuous integration and delivery.APIs – Discover and consume APIs to manage, build, and extend the core capabilities of SAP BTP.Cloud Management Tools– Feature Set Overview – Cloud management tools represent the group of technologies designed for managing SAP BTP. (IPS/IAS: Identity provider management system/Identity Access management system).Prerequisites and Restrictions – Find a list of the product prerequisites and restrictions for SAP BTP.

SAP BTP Account Structure:

The SAP BTP Global Account is the highest level of account management and can be of type ‘enterprise’ or ‘trail’.A trail account allows you to try out many of the SAP XaaS for free, whereas an enterprise account is associated with a customer or partner and is the level at which resource and services can be purchased:

SAP BTP Account Structure:

Regions: Points of presence for service provisioning, Architecture is tailored to meet data, technical, and government requirements.Sub Accounts: Technically independent accounts, with no sharing of users, applications, authorizations, etc.

can be manged using directories and quotas. Useful for separating environments and logical work packages.

Space – Provides complete application isolation, allowing multiple instances to run independently.Services – Applications can be created from service templates or custom applications can be deployed using containers.

Cloud Providers:

SAP BTP is a multi-cloud platform deployed on cloud providers;

SAPAzureAmazon Web ServicesGoogle Cloud Platform (GCP)Alibaba Cloud

The deployment of XaaS along with data consideration are just two factors to be addressed architecturally ensuring the requirements of government, business(functional) and technology(non-functional) are satisfied.

On-Premise to Public Cloud connectivity:

SAP BTP Cloud services can be used independently or with on-premise services to share data.Communication between public services and SAP S/4HANA systems needs to be secured, which can be done using a reverse invoke proxy like SAP Cloud Connector.SAP Cloud Connector establishes an outbound encrypted connection from on-premise to cloud, allowing data to be shared securely

What Does SAP BTP DO??

SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) provides a technical foundation for businesses to quickly change and adapt by offering a portfolio of SAP products, services, and solutions grouped under four technology pillars.

Note:

Most of the times you will face a error while opening BASThat you are not authorized access denied.Go to securityGo to usersNavigate to your userClick on role collectionAssign RoleNow you can open the BAS

Menu will be different if we open subaccount.

SAP BAS (Business Application Studio):

When you are referring to Dev Space then you are referring to developmentWhen you are referring to Cloud foundry then you are referring to runtimeboth are independent to each other.

Note:

If it is trail account you are allowed a total of 2 dev spaces with only 1 running at a time

You can download, delete, and change extensions. Renaming the dev space is not possible.SAP BAS is essential for developing extension applications on SAP Business Technology Platform.BAS provides a common development environment that runs independently of developers technically system setup and is tailored for business application development in the SAP ecosystem.BAS can be accessed through an internet browser and offers a desktop-like development experience similar to Microsoft Visual Studio Code.BAS offers all the necessary tools for business application development, including a command line and editors optimized for different use casesA subscription and the appropriate authorizations are required for developers or business users to access SAP Business Application Studio in a subaccount, and administrators can distribute role collections via the security capabilities of SAP BTP.

There are three predefined roles for BAS:

Developer – Develop in BASExtension deployer – Develop and deploy BAS extensionsAdministrator – Administer BAS (for example, restart dev spaces…)

BAS is a multiple environment development tool where we are having multiple extensions

Example: For fiori we have multiple options like predefined extensions as shown in below

To create dev Space, click on Create Dev Space.

Enter Dev space name and select any application based on the business and click on create dev space button.Now it will create a dev space.

When creating a new dev space, you can choose a preconfigured development environment, based on the type of application that you want to buildThere are several dev spaces available.

Example:

SAP FioriFull Stack Cloud ApplicationSAP HANA Native ApplicationEach dev space type comes with a set of SAP predefined extensions, that are required for the respective application scenario.You can select additional extensions to enhance your space.Due to its open source nature and close resemblance to Microsoft Visual Studio Code, SAP Business Application Studio also lets you integrate Visual Studio Code-compatible extensions from the Open VSX Registry.It is possible to create multiple dev spaces per user, depending on the chosen application plan.

 The following plans are available for subscription:

Free – Restricted up to two dev spaces, only one space running and a size limit of 4 GBStandard-edition

Only in project folder we need to create (its recommended).

By default, we will be having. vscode file which is having all the extensions that are installed.

There are two ways for navigation:

wizard waycommand prompt

Example:

To create a directory

             mkdir test

To navigate into created directory

             cd test

We have option for split in terminal so that we can use multiple options at the same we can work on different directories at a time.SAP Business Application studio provides everything that a professional developer needs. it is a full development environment. (It replaces SAP Web IDE.)
