Running apps on Cloud Platform

[former_member645391]

Hi,

Our dev tenant is setup with the Neo environment. Is there anyway of using Cloud Platform to host and run java applications, including those that might use Windows based elements such as DOS batch files?

Some apps we'd like to host include:

• an IIS .NET c# web application
• CPILINT

To keep things tidy, it would be great to be able to host these in the cloud within our SAP environment.

P.S. Thank you for your interest in CPILint 😄

Hi Logan

On Neo, your options are limited. Anything .NET-based is impossible. A Java CLI application like CPILint would require a significant amount of tinkering to run on Neo, since Neo runs Java EE apps, specifically.

You do have the option of running a virtual machine, but that's probably not what you're after.

On Cloud Foundry, you can run a (much) greater number of different types of web applications, including C# web apps. You still won't be able to deploy a Java CLI app, though.

In summary. Java web apps can be deployed on Neo, many different web apps can be deployed on Cloud Foundry. Neither environment is suitable for running CLI applications.

Regards,

Morten

Hi Logan,

in SAP CP Neo you can run Java Applications that use one of the runtimes you find at https://tools.hana.ondemand.com/#cloud. You can't run any DOS Batch files. AFAIK the Java Runtime is hosted on Linux. But you shouldn't be able to access the file system anyway.

For .NET Core Applications you need the SAP CP Cloud Foundry Environment as there is a Buildpack for .NET Core (which isn't a SAP supported buildpack).

With CPILINT I guess you mean CPILint from 7a519509aed84a2c9e6f627841825b5a. Maybe he can answer that.
