Data Source and Service Selection configuration with Template Wizard

[IanQuigley]

Hello,

I have asked this question in the Beginner Corner Discussions Group (Data Source and Service Selection configuration with Template Wizard) and was suggested to post it here as well.

I am doing the lesson Generating the list report – object page app of the course Developing and Extending SAP Fiori Elements Apps. I don't know how to complete the Data Source and Service Selection configuration with Template Wizard in VSCode under Windows 11.

In the video, he says: "For this demo, I have already saved a system that I will use". How should I save the system? In the first week's exercises, I've used Eclipse and had to provide a URL and log in with my trial account to get the project. Should I do something similar in VSCode?

I've googled how to get files from a project opened in Eclipse (under Windows 11). I've found the project location, but there are no files like the ones I see in Eclipse, just some references. So, I assume, this is not how I get the system.

In the exercises Git repository, they say: "We will choose the travel OData V4 service that you created in week 1, unit 5 as part of the OData creation exercise". Unlike the screenshots in the repository, I am not getting "ABAP Environment on SAP Business Technology Platform" as an option for "System". Instead, there is an option called "New":

When I select this, I can select "ABAP Environment on SAP Business Technology Platform" as a "System Type". Then, I am prompted to provide an "ABAP environment definition source":

I select "Upload a Service Key File". Unlike the workflow assumed in the repository, I don't get a list of services. And I don't know where to get the service key file from. How is VSCode supposed to know about the services?

Best regards,
Alexander Schädlich

Hello Alexander,

As junwu mentioned, you need to check the details on how you connected to the ABAP system in ADT in eclipse.  If you had provided a service key when connecting via ADT in eclipse, then you will use that same service key in VSCode.

If you had provided an endpoint URL to ADT for the ABAP system, then you need to provide the same URL in VSCode.  You can see more details on the connection types by checking the help portal at: https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_FIORI_tools/17d50220bcd848aa854c9c182d65b699/78a82b6852ce4061ba0825afd... under the "Create new system" section.

Regards,

Ian

In this exercise:

https://learning.sap.com/courses/developing-and-extending-sap-fiori-elements-apps/preparing-your-aba... , I have set up an ABAP system in the SAP BTP Cockpit and connected it through ADT in Eclipse. Now, I went through the previous exercises and remembered that during the ABAP system setup, I have generated a service key. This key is what I had to provide in VSCode in order to connect to BTP.

Thanks!

To connect to the back end in Eclipse, I had to both provide a service key and log in. That confused me, and I forgot about the service key though remembered the login part 🙂 In VSCode, I wasn't prompted to log in but to provide the service key. Now that I've done that, it works.
