Migrate Content from SAP Business Application Studio to SAP Build Code

[MarcHuber]

If you want to use all the features of SAP Build Code, the easiest way currently is to run the SAP Build Code booster (booster tutorial). The booster will create a new subaccount for you. But maybe you already have a subaccount with SAP Business Application Studio (BAS)? So you probably need to migrate your content to the new subaccount. But that is pretty easy.

**** Update 31/10/2024 ***

With the latest release, you can now transfer your existing projects into the SAP Build Code tenant effortlessly using the "Add from Dev Space" feature in the SAP Build Lobby. This allows for a smooth transition, enabling you to continue developing your projects without any disruption. The migration process is simple and straightforward. Just a few clicks, and your projects will be seamlessly transferred to the SAP Build Code tenant. For more information on the migration process see Add Projects From Dev Space. 

****** End of the Update 31.10.2024*****

As alternative if you you just want to import one project and it is already in a git repository, you can use the "Clone from git" option. How you can add a project to git, you can find an example as part of the full-stack tutorial

Now you can just clone the project to the new SAP Build Lobby.

1. Go to your new subaccount with the SAP Build Code entitlement and open the lobby by select your SAP Build Code instance.

2. Afterwards you just have to select Clone in the SAP Build Lobby.

3. Select the project type, like Full-Stack Application, and provide the Git repository URL and Project Name. As a last step just select your preferred Dev Space and press Create.

Now your project is also available in SAP Build Code:

To free up some space you can delete your old project on the old BAS subaccount or if you have migrated all projects you can delete the old subaccount, if you don’t need it anymore of other purposes.

Additional Information:

Did you know that you can also share your project with other developers directly from the lobby? Just select the menu of your project and select “Manage Members”.

And add the additional developers with their email:

Happy Coding!

2 questions:
- If, instead of creating a new subaccount, I use the method described into the following blog to upgrade my existing BAS subaccount to SAP Build Code ( https://community.sap.com/t5/technology-blogs-by-sap/upgrade-sap-business-application-studio-to-sap-... ), how to make appears in build Lobby the projects that are already cloned in developer workspaces ?
- Is there an integration between the git repo members and the Lobby project members ? I mean, if I add a member to my Lobby project, will it have automatically access to the related Git repo ? and same question in the opposite way ?

Hi @Cocquerel 

don't know if you already got an answer to your questions but maybe I can share my experience. I've migrated our existing SAP Business Application Studio into SAP Build Code. The projects from SBAS weren't in the lobby of SAP Build Code since internally a new Dev Space was created.

You can share your SAP Build Code project with other developers and only that project that you have in your Dev Space. Git is a different story and has its own access rights depending on what you use e.g. Github, Bitbucket etc. When you grant access to your project in SAP Build Code that doesn't include the access rights of the corresponding Git.
