SAPUI5 application for on-premise

[declan_barrett1]

Extremely new to SAPUI5, BAS etc.

I've taken some of the tutorials and, as usual, they've thrown up a few questions:

1. If I need to develop a SAPUI5 web application for on-premise, do I have to create it using BAS and then deploy it to the on-premise SAP system?

2. If developing via BAS, do I have to connect from BAS to the on-premise SAP system for testing purposes etc.?

3. For maintenance etc. of this SAPUI5 app, do I need to do this in BAS?

4. Is there any way to develop SAPUI5 app directly on-premise without using any cloud connectivity from BAS or CLI?

Any and all help greatly appreciated.

Hello Declan,

1) You could use BAS, Web IDE Visual Studio Code or any other modern IDE for web development.

2) Yes, if You would like to test the application with data from SAP on-premise. You can also try to mock data or use some mock generators for that.

3) Yes (answer 1).

4) Yes, You could edit code directly in SE80 - but please don't do that.

As You are fresher, I would suggest to stick with BAS to develop Fiori apps. There are a lot of materials, tutorials and plugins which helps You go on with development using BAS.
