Unable to set up ABAP Cloud Project

[vsp4btp]

1. I have created the ABAP Trial Instance in SAP BTP Cockpit and downloaded the Service Key.

2. I then went to Eclipse, selected New ABAP Cloud Project, selected "SAP BTP ABAP Environment" and then selected "Use a Service Key" option.

3. I then imported the Service Key obtained from SAP BTP Cockpit.

4. In the next page, I selected the option "Open Logon Page in Browser". And then, provided my login email ID and password. I got this message on the browser:
"You have been successfully logged on

You can close this page and continue in the ABAP Development Tools."

5. But, on the Eclipse screen, I am getting this message:
"You were successfully authenticated, but an error occurred during the Service Instance logon. Please ensure that you have a user for the Service Instance."

Unable to proceed from here. Please help with a solution.

Thank You.

Hello!

After the booster has run successfully the user is only Administrator on the ABAP instance.

It seems that you have forgotten to assign the developer role SAP_BR_DEVELOPER in ABAP dashboard. Pls check! It should be described in the manual.

Without there will be no access from Eclipse as developer.

Thanks for the reply, Christian. However, I feel this is certainly due to various authentication servers that SAP uses. It is very very frustrating many times. We are getting these sort of errors since the introduction of Universal ID concept. Even though there is one Universal ID, SAP maintains various databases or servers without details being in sync. you have account.sap.com. you have accounts.sap.com. then you have separate server for XSUAA authentication. then you have something else. Looks like there is no proper integration of these servers / databases.

I referred to various solutions online, various blogs, various posts, etc. Nothing has helped me to overcome the problem.

Finally, I have created a new User ID at SAP.com. A completely new User with no links to any previous personal ID or the work ID or the Universal ID. The, set up the BTP Trial account and ABAP instance with this new User ID. Now, I am able to establish TRL system on Eclipse and I am able to create ABAP on Cloud classes, etc.

SAP has to seriously look into this Universal ID concept. Either get out of it or get one single Server / Database for authentication and role assignments.
