Hello
Questions:
1/ Where is data stored maintained in SAP Build Apps (from Visual Cloud Functions or from the App) ?
Where and how can we choose the DB on which the data should be stored ? How can we easily do the sizing ?
2/ How can that data be accessed (assuming that it is stored on a DB that can identified)? How can that data be extracted ? Is there a SQL/CDS based access mechanism available ?
3/ Can we develop SAP Build Apps on a HANA database on which we also develop SAP CAP or SAP RAP ? In other words, can we setup a CDS based data model in 1 SAP HANA DB and then develop above it using CAP or RAP or SAP Build Apps/SAP Build Code where the data model is shared ? (I know that this goes against microservices paradigm, but a coherent CDS based data model on which we develop using the appropriate technology seems to me a good compromise ....)
Context:
We are considering to use for example SAP Build Apps to enhance C4C V1 in preparation to move in the future to C4C V2. In this context we were wondering where the data of SAP Build Apps is stored ? Also how would that data be enabled for other usages ? Indeed, we might want to extract that data to Data Warehouse, extract back into C4C V1 for other enablement. It is however not at all clear on how that data can be accessed and exploited. For the moment the SAP Build Apps (for sure the backend features VCF) seems to be a huge black box. Making a nice application with low code/no code is marvelous. But if that is generating hidden data that is not accessible, then we have created a new problem.
PS: It might be that I am thinking wrongly in the cloud context or that I missed something. My apologies if this would be the case.
If you want to persist data and do need app specific backend, then you can e.g. use SAP Build Apps Backend a.k.a. Visual Cloud Functions.
