It seems that you had a problem while trying to get and setup the tools.

We are sorry for that but maybe there is already a solution for your problem.

Where to start

• SAP HANA Cloud Platform Tools
  • If you have never before installed SDK and Tools: SAP HANA Cloud Platform Developer Center
  • SAP HANA Cloud Platform Documentation:  Getting Started > Setting Up the Tools and SDK
• Other tools: installation instructions are linked on https://tools.hana.ondemand.com/ (see tool specific tab)
• Direct link to the Tools Update Site: https://tools.hana.ondemand.com/
  

FAQ

FAQ #2: When I try to install SAP Development Tools in Eclipse, I get an error message that Eclipse can not connect with the update site https://tools.hana.ondemand.com/juno or https://tools.hana.ondemand.com/kepler.

Typical error messages are:

• No repository found at https://tools.hana.ondemand.com/juno
• Could not find tools.hana.ondemand.com
• Unable to connect to repository at https://tools.netweaver.ondemand.com/juno/content.xml

Probably, you did not configure the proxy correctly in Window > Preferences > General > Network Connections so that Eclipse can not reach https://tools.hana.ondemand.com/juno. The correct proxy configuration depends on your IT infrastructure. The following 3 typical configurations have been reported as working in the support forum:

1. You can connect directly to the internet, i.e. don't need any proxy.
   Please configure 'Direct' as Active Provider.
2. You connect to the internet via http proxy.
   Please configure 'Manual' as Active Provider and configure the proxy entries for the protocols http and https. Do not configure anything for SOCKS.
3. You connect to the internet via SOCKS proxy.
   Please configure 'Manual' as Active Provider and configure the proxy entry for the protocol SOCKS.
   
   

To find the right setup, you could check the proxy settings in your browser.

After fixing the proxy configuration, please go to Windows > Preferences > Install/Update > Available Software Sites, select the software site "SAP Development Tools for Eclipse Kepler" and press 'Reload' to verify that the connection works now.

Additional hints:

• On Windows, users experienced problems with the 'Native' proxy provider. Therefore, we recommend to use the 'manual' proxy provider and to configure the proxy settings manually.
• On the update site, there is no file 'https://tools.netweaver.ondemand.com/kepler/content.xml' (even though Eclipse complains about it in the error message). If you want to test that you can download a file via browser, please test with https://tools.netweaver.ondemand.com/kepler/content.jar
• Please also test if you can install from the eclipse.org update site (http://download.eclipse.org/releases/kepler or http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno). If not, please check the proxy settings again.
• In case your connection to the update site is very slow, you may run into timeouts (check the error message details). The following two articles help to workaround the timeouts:
  • http://www.alexander-bown.com/2011/01/eclipse-update-error-timeout-while-reading-input-stream/
  • http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1489149/how-to-change-value-of-read-timeout-of-eclipses-update-manager
    

If this does not solve your problems then please request support in the SAP HANA Cloud Platform Community .

FAQ #4: Installation fails with message 'Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found'.

Please ensure that the 'Contact all update sites during install to find required software' check box is selected in the installation wizard. See also http://scn.sap.com/thread/3199711.

Known Issues

There are currently no known issues.

Have you ever wondered if it is possible to develop end to end your next cloud application directly via the browser? What language should you use? What kind of other tools should you need for the database management, authorization definitions, testing, life-cycle management, monitoring…?

What if you can write the whole application in JavaScript? You like Ruby? What about Groovy as well? And still in the same environment? 

What if you can run directly Apache Camel's Routes as simplified integration services and scheduled jobs?

What if you can browse your database schema or catalog and execute your query and update scripts again in the same environment?

What if you can have a jump start with your user interface by using predefined site templates based on OpenUI5? You are already familiar with other AJAX frameworks? Let me guess - jQuery? Bootstrap? AngularJS?

What if you can create your next SalesOrder entity from the table, through the CRUD service, to the user interface only via wizards, without a need to touch the code?

You want to share the project with the other members of your team? What about Git? What if you can collaborate also worldwide via the open place for exchange of samples?

Too many questions? We are just starting…

Dirigible is Open-Sourced

It’s a big pleasure to announce that the internal TGiF project Dirigible has been open sourced underApache Licenseand is available on GitHub joining the growing family of SAP HANA Cloud Labs projects.

Is it the answer to your questions? Could be…

Try it Now

The easiest way to taste the IDEaaS is to open the location http://trial.dirigible.io with your preferred browser.

Deploy on Your HCP Account

Since the trial instance is shared, you have limited functionality (publish to registry, update SQL statements, etc. are forbidden), so it is better to run Dirigible on your own account on HANA Cloud Platform. How to do that?

Just download the latest release from GitHub: https://github.com/SAP/cloud-dirigible

Go to release section.

Download both WAR files.

Get HCP SDK 1.x from https://tools.hana.ondemand.com/#cloud and unzip it on your local file system.

Go to neo-java-web-sdk-1.xxx/tools folder.

Deploy with command:

neo deploy --account <your_account> --application <application_name> --user <your_user> --host <target_landscape_host> --source <downloaded_wars_directory>

Start with command:

neo start --account <your_account> --application <application_name> --user <your_user> --host <target_landscape_host> -y

Welcome

As I also did for the last course that ran in 2013 I've created again a course guide to help you through the repetition of the openSAP course "Introduction to SAP HANA Cloud Platform".  The course will start around June 2014.

Since we last ran this course we've improved some functionality in the platform so that we want to provide you also with some updates around those improvements as wells as providing in the course some best practices from the initial course.

Week Guides

At the start of each week I'll publish a document that is related to the corresponding week of the course. Those documents will provide you with additional material or explanations around the topic of the week. Depending on the feedback and questions inside the forum of the course I might also add additional material (e.g. videos) during and after the course to address the frequently asked questions so that you have a one-stop-shop for this course.

I hope you'll enjoy the course.

In case you find this useful feel free to either "Like" this blog post (at the top right of this page) or rate it (at the bottom of this blog post) with 1 to 5 stars.

Best,

Rui

Hi All,

    I am using HCP.

   When I do a "Data Preview" operation on my Analytic views , i got an error :

       Cannot get the data provider outline

       SAP DBTech JDBC: [257]: sql syntax error: Error:insufficient privilege: Not authorized at ptime/query/checker/query_check.cc:2547

       what can i do to  fix the error?

Thanks very much!

Hi there,

I'm just trying to use an ODATA-Service to insert records in a table.

That works fine, but now I want to use a stored procedure to bring in some business logic before writing the data to the DB.

I've found this video reagarding that:SAP HANA SPS 6 - What's New: Development - ODat... | SAP HANA

I've created the SP successfully and modified the ODATA-Service to use this SP when creating new records, however I'm not able to insert record due to insufficent priviliges.

Here's the exact return valie from ODATA-Service:

{ "error": { "code": "", "message": { "lang": "en-US", "value": "Service exception: insufficient privilege."}}}

Here's the coding of the SP:

PROCEDURE "NEO_1234"."p1787990323trial.myhanaxs.hello.procedures::userCreateMethod" (     in row "TBL_USER",    out error "TT_ERROR")     LANGUAGE SQLSCRIPT    SQL SECURITY INVOKER     DEFAULT SCHEMA "NEO_1234"    AS 
BEGIN
/*****************************     Write your procedure logic 
 *****************************/     declare lv_id integer;     declare lv_username string;          select id, username into lv_id, lv_username from :row;          if lv_username = '' then         error = select 400 as http_status_code, 'invalid username' as error_message, 'Username can not be empty' as detail from dummy;     else         insert into "1234"."TBL_USER" values(lv_id, lv_username);     end if;
END;

And here the definition of the ODATA-Service

service namespace "workshop.services" {

    "NEO_1234"."TBL_USER"  as "tbl_user"

    create using "p1234trial.myhanaxs.hello.procedures::userCreateMethod";

}

Since I'm using the SAP HANA Cloud Trial I've executed

CALL "HCP"."HCP_GRANT_SELECT_ON_ACTIVATED_OBJECTS"

after creating the service/SP

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

ben

Hi all,

I am in the learning phase and got stuck at the very basic step. I have created a new subpackage testPackage1 under the root package in the Systems view.I have then added a repository workspace in Repository view and trying to check out the testPackage1 folder from there but the problem that I am facing is, the folder is not getting checked out and the tick mark is not appearing. Also no subfolder called testPackage1 is getting created in my local system under the root package in the workspace folder on checking out. I am using SAP HANA Studio Revision 70. Can you please suggest why the folder is not getting created and why the repository folder is not getting checked out?

I haven't created any Project yet but when I am doing so, it is asking for a folder in my local system where the Project will be saved. Since testPackage1 folder is not getting created as intended, I cannot create the Project.

In this discussion we are going to announce NetWeaver Cloud Trial landscape infrastructure downtimes.

Regards,

NetWeaver Cloud operations team

The system locked me out saying that I had reached the maximum number of attempts. I am using a instance on the HANA Cloud Platform and connect to it by creating a tunnel. Once 24 hours are up the tunnel closed and when i started it up again it gave a new password to the system on HANA. When I started up HANA Studio the next day the system tried to reconnect but locked me out. Also locked out of the repository. Is there any way to fix this issue?

Hello,

I want to consume a view in an ODATA-Service (on SAP HANA CLOUD Trial).

I have created and activated the view successfully and wanted to create the service.

But when I try to activate the service I get the error "Unknown view name "pXXXXtrial/myhanaxs/TEST"."

java.lang.NullPointerException

In the first screen I have entered the Landscape host, Account name, User name and password. In the second screen the the Trial instance is selected.

Now clicked the 'Finish' button and the above error is raised.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Release Notes for SAP HANA Cloud Platform - 16 January 2014

As today's post title suggest I've been having some fun with Apple PassKit passes and I wanted to share my findings with you.

Disclaimer: As fellow developers know we have our own understanding of 'having fun' and in this particular case it involves messing around with certificates, digital signatures and SHA1 hashes, well-formed JSON syntax and firing up a precise chain of console commands...

Having spent a lot of time on the road the last couple of years I came to appreciate Apple's PassKit technology and the convenience it brings. Fortunately my favorite airline has been supporting it from early-on and so I enjoyed the ease of using a digital boarding pass & getting all relevant information auto-magically displayed on the lock-screen of my mobile phone as soon as I got close to the airport. Ever since I've been interested in being able to create my own passes in order to extend this convenience factor to other scenarios.

During my research I stumbled upon a great tutorial that explains the entire process of creating a Passkit pass by hand in great detail. Instead of repeating it all here I'd recommend everyone interested to read the following blog posts:

• Beginning Passbook in iOS 6: Part 1/2
• Beginning Passbook in iOS 6: Part 2/2

Once you've gone through it step-by-step you'll understand that it surely is no rocket science, yet the whole process of creating SHA1 hashes and obtaining certificates and signing them is ... well, tedious to say the least.

Being the lazy developer that I am I was of course quick to search for libraries that would ease the pain and I didn't have to search for to long until I stumbled upon the jPasskit project on github. It's a small library, but given that it gets the trick done that's a great thing!

By looking at the provide jUnit tests I was able to get the heck of it quite fast and in no time I had created a utility class that wraps the signing and packaging aspect into a single method - voilà.

I've compiled a little sample project on our github page, so if you're interested in giving it a try - please head over there:

https://github.com/SAP/cloud-passkit-demo

Oh, and before I call it a day... here's the result:

You can download the pass here

In part 2 I'll dig a bit deeper and look into advanced topics such as relevance information (e.g. geo-fencing) and updating of passes. Until then... cheers & have fun coding!

Hello all,

I've successfully been able to connect to on-premise services via HTTP by follow the tutorial at https://help.hana.ondemand.com/help/frameset.htm?e76f9e75bb571014a7218bcd30a8771b.html, but since a Destination must contain the full and exact URL, there doesn't seem to be any way to pass parameters to a RESTful web service using this method. Is there any alternative that allows for the dynamic construction of URLs?

Thanks,

Johnny

No, it's not April Fools' Day joke. We've just set the date for our second SAP CodeJam Sofia around SAP HANA Cloud Platform! It will be on May 15 at the SAP Labs Bulgaria office.

Now, I should also tell you this time it'll be a special one. And that's because it's organized together with University Alliances and designed especially for students from Bulgarian universities who are eager to get to know and make their first steps with this cool and innovative cloud platform from SAP!

As a participant you will:

• get an introduction to SAP HANA Cloud Platform
• get access to the technology, tools, experts and more
• get your hands dirty developing on-demand applications using modern Java, Web UI and SAP HANA technologies
• start small from “Hello World” and grow bigger step-by-step leveraging persistence, document management, identity management and other platform services to build an application for your desired use-case
• all this in a fun and casual environment with your classmates and friends (and while enjoying some great food and beverages, btw )

So, why not put yourself to the test and sign up for SAP CodeJam now? The event is free, but space is limited.

Meet you there!

i can open the db tunnel a week ago,today  i want to test something

but i can't open db tunnel.

please help me

With the Tenent Context API, the Tenant Runtime is able to identify the current consumer of the application (e.g. tenent ID).

Is there an API or a mechanism to get information about the currently configured IDP used by an application?

I seem to be in a blogging mood recently. Unfortunately, I missed the chance to give a shout about a cool new feature which was released couple of weeks ago (on March 13, precisely speaking) but apparently has left unnoticed by many folks and friends of SAP HANA Cloud Platform. So - and as a wise man had once said - I thought "better late than never" and decided to try and fix this lapse.

What am I talking about? Well, until March 13, if you wanted to connect to an SAP HANA instance on SAP HCP, you had to open a DB tunnel in the Console Client by executing the open-db-tunnel command, copy the connection details it returned to you (including the instance number, DB user and password), go to your HANA Studio (and yes, it had to be a separate standalone IDE from your other Eclipse IDE which you were using for Java development on HCP and/or any other development you do!) and paste those connection details into the corresponding wizard pages. Oh, and did I mention that you had to keep the DB tunnel in the Console Client open while you were working on the remote HANA instance? Sounds fun? Guess not.

Well, forget about the above. We've put an end to all those tedious, awkward and error-prone steps within so many different tools. Now you can do everything in a single tool (Eclipse IDE) with just a couple of clicks. The prerequisite is that you have installed an Eclipse Kepler IDE and the SAP HANA Cloud Platform Tools on top, as described in Setting Up the Tools. (And yes, you got it right - all necessary SAP HANA Tools now can be installed as well from the SAP Development Tools for Eclipse - Kepler Software Repository, so you don't need a separate HANA Studio installation any longer.)

Now, if you already have a trial or productive SAP HANA instance in your account (see e.g. Creating a Trial SAP HANA Instance), you can just go to the SAP HANA Development perspective in your Eclipse IDE, right click in the Systems view and select Add Cloud System... which should open up this nice wizard:

Enter your account info and click Next. This will lead you to the next page where you have to select an instance from the list:

Click Finish and in a few seconds it will be added in the Systems view. If you are working with a productive instance, you also need to provide your own DB user and password. See in the official documentation how to create it. In this case, as a last step the wizard might ask you to change your DB password if it is an initial one and you haven't changed it yet.

That's it! Now you can go on and import some sample apps, play with them, or develop your own XS app - it's up to you. Enjoy! And don't hesitate to share your feedback and comments - we are always looking for further improvements and simplifications.

Hi everyone, I have a trial account and I can run hana xs and other services but gateway as a service doesnt work.

Hi all,

I have 3 reporting-related questions:

1. How can I connect Crystal Reports to HANA Cloud Platform to generate reports?
2. Does HCP come with BOE instance?
3. If no to #2, is there any way to connect an on-premise BOE instance to HCP?

Many Thanks,

Johnny
