Upgrade SAP Business Application Studio to SAP Build Code

[rupamaity]

Dear Community,

SAP Build Code was made generally available on March 27. Since then, we have been following your posts and comments on social media. We are excited to see so many of you trying out the Test Drive and exploring SAP Build Code.

We are already hearing a lot of great feedback that we plan to work on in the coming months.

One such customer request was to be able to migrate an existing SAP Business Application Studio instance to SAP Build Code.

We have now made this possible! Read on to migrate your SAP Business Application Studio instance to SAP Build Code.

We start with a subaccount where you have SAP Business Application Studio on the “standard” plan.  

Note - This subaccount can contain various other SAP BTP services. For the purposes of this blog, we will keep those services untouched.

Let's begin!

1. In your subaccount, go to Services > Service Marketplace and look for the SAP Build Code service.
2. Select the “standard” plan, click the Actions button, and then click Create.
3. Navigate back to the Instances and Subscriptions page. You should now see a new SAP Build Code entry in the Application section4. In your subaccount, go to Entitlements and search for SAP Business Application Studio. Add the build-code plan to your subaccount

5. Go to Instances and Subscriptions, on the SAP Business Application Studio row, click on Actions [...] and select Update.

5. Select the “build-code” plan and click on Update Subscription

6. Next, go to Security -> Role Collections and click on Create. Create two new role collections and configure them as follows:

a. BuildCode_Admin - add the roles "RegistryAdmin" and "Business_Application_Studio_Administrator" to it

b. BuildCode_Dev - add the roles "RegistryDeveloper" and "Business_Application_Studio_Developer" to it.

7. Next, add your users to these new roles.

8. And that’s it! Click on SAP Build Code to navigate to the SAP Build Lobby.

9. You can now start creating your projects with SAP Build Code.

Note  - If you want to access projects that you created in SAP Business Application Studio earlier, you can still do so via the Dev Space Manager.

We hope that this helps you make the move to SAP Build Code with ease.

We have many more great features coming up in the next few months, so keep an eye out for new releases.

And till then, happy coding!
