CodeJam - Combine SAP Cloud Application Programming Model with SAP HANA Cloud to Create Full-Stack Applications
This repository contains the material for the CodeJam on using the SAP Cloud Application Programming Model and SAP HANA Cloud to create Full-Stack Applications. In this CodeJam we will learn how to use an instance of SAP HANA Cloud, develop a multi-target application using SAP Business Application Studio and SAP Cloud Application Programming Model, and create a service layer and SAP Fiori UI that also includes SAP HANA native artifacts, such as calculation views.
SAP CodeJam is a hands-on, collaborative event where developers come together to learn about SAP technologies, share knowledge, and work on practical exercises. These events are typically led by SAP experts and provide a great opportunity to network with peers, ask questions, and gain a deeper understanding of SAP solutions through guided tutorials and real-world scenarios.

The requirements to follow the exercises in this repository, including hardware and software, are detailed in the prerequisites file.
The material consists of a series of exercises. Each exercise is contained in a directory, with a main 'readme' file containing the core exercise instructions, with optional supporting files, such as screenshots and sample files.
During the CodeJam you will complete each exercise one at a time. At the end of each exercise there are questions; these are designed to help you think about the content just covered, and are to be discussed with the entire CodeJam class, led by the instructor, when everyone has finished that exercise.
If you finish an exercise early, please resist the temptation to continue with the next one. Instead, explore what you've just done and see if you can find out more about the subject that was covered. That way we all stay on track together and can benefit from some reflection via the questions (and answers).
The exercises are written in a conversational way; this is so that they have enough context and information to be completed outside the hands-on session itself. To help you navigate and find what you have to actually do next, there are pointers like this 👉 throughout that indicate the things you have to actually do (as opposed to just read for background information).
Here's an overview of the exercises in this CodeJam.
- Make certain that you have successfully completed all the prerequisites
- Exercise 1 - Set Up SAP HANA Cloud and Development Environment
- Exercise 2 - Create an SAP Cloud Application Programming Model Project for SAP HANA Cloud
- Exercise 3 - Create Database Artifacts Using Core Data Services (CDS) for SAP HANA Cloud
- Exercise 4 - Create a User Interface with CAP (SAP HANA Cloud)
- Exercise 5 - Add User Authentication to Your Application (SAP HANA Cloud)
- Exercise 6 - Create Calculation View and Expose via CAP (SAP HANA Cloud)
- Exercise 7 - Create HANA Stored Procedure and Expose as CAP Service Function (SAP HANA Cloud)
- Bonus Homework - Deploy CAP with SAP HANA Cloud project as MTA
When creating the HDI Container instance in Exercise 3, the Business Application Studio tooling sometimes does not properly wait for the container creation. In these situations, simply wait a moment for creation to complete and then repeat the step.
If you can spare a couple of minutes at the end of the session, please help me improve for next time by giving me some feedback.
Simply use this Give Feedback link to create a special "feedback" issue, and follow the instructions in there.
Create an issue in this repository if you find a bug or have questions about the content.
