The creation of a SCP trial account and a service key were the topics of the last two tutorials. The subsequent procedures for installing the Eclipse Platform, which acts as the ABAP on Cloud Integrated Development Environment (IDE), will be covered in this article.
Given the diverse backgrounds of the audience, it is important to comprehend a few nuances in each of the specialized fields:
SAP ABAP/Functional: NO T-Code use in ABAP Cloud and NO GUI Screens.
No longer must they be recalled or used. Some examples of often used ones are SE11, SE80, SE24, SM30, SU01, ST12, MM01, ME21, VA01, etc.
- OData Consultants: Forget about central hub systems, RFC destinations, registration of services, gateway services, and T-Codes, among other things.
Indeed, the admin must create this one-time activity even though the destinations are predetermined in the SCP.
After installing JDK and Eclipse, it’s time to open Eclipse.
