Dear community,
I’m excited to introduce you to some of the highlights of the latest release of SAP Business Application Studio! In this blog post, you will also find the latest news on our new
Develop Full-Stack Applications Using Productivity Tools in SAP Business Application Studio Learning Journey.
Microsoft Visual Studio Code Desktop Client for SAP Business Application Studio
Would you like to enjoy the user experience and the productivity tools of SAP Business Application Studio in your local Microsoft Visual Studio Code desktop client? With the latest release, SAP Business Application Studio allows you to remotely control your
dev spaces that are hosted in SAP Business Application Studio. You can take over a dev space in your local Visual Studio Code desktop client and use it as if you are working in SAP Business Application Studio. You can run commands and use SAP Business Application Studio's great productivity tools from your local Visual Studio Code desktop client including the
Storyboard, the
Service Center,
Run Configurations, and more. The only thing you need to do is to download the
extension and connect it to your landscape to get started - no special knowledge or software is required. For further information please read Geert-Jan Klaps' blog post

Improved Search in Service Center
In the
Service Center (the central entry point for a variety of service providers), you can now search for a service within a package from the
SAP API Business Hub, the
API Business Hub Enterprise, or the
Unified Customer Landscape Service Provider. With the search functionality, you don’t have to go through the list of available services to find a service. This allows you to easily integrate services from the Service Center into your application development.

Explore SAP API Business Hub Services.

Allow Easy Service Transition from API Business Hub to Productive System
Imagine the following: For testing purposes you consumed a service from the
SAP API Business Hub. Now you would like to change it to the real live productive service. With the new release, this is easily possible: you can now edit the data source for an SAP System service from the Storyboard. To change the data source of an external service to be used in production, you only have to right-click on the service name and click
Edit Data Source. From the editor, you can then select the desired data source and service path.
For further information, see
Storyboard and Project Explorer.
