It takes about 23 GB compressed and over 53 GB unpacked, and SAP states at least 16 GB of RAM for [Docker](external:docker) and recommends 32 GB. SAP offers it free for education and demo purposes only, with SAP Community support and no primary support, and pulling it needs a Docker Hub account. The ABAP licence in the image lasts three months and is renewed by importing a demo licence."},"links":{"docs":"https://hub.docker.com/r/sapse/abap-cloud-developer-trial"},"maintainers":["actor:sap"],"source_available":false,"provides":[{"capability":"capability:local-development","what_it_does":"Runs an AS ABAP with its [SAP HANA](artifact:sap-hana) database in a [Docker](external:docker) container on the developer’s own machine.","sources":[{"url":"https://hub.docker.com/r/sapse/abap-cloud-developer-trial","title":"sapse/abap-cloud-developer-trial — Docker Hub","checked":"2026-11-01","quote":"docker run --stop-timeout 3600 -it --name a4h -h vhcala4hci sapse/abap-cloud-developer-trial:<TAGNAME>"},{"url":"https://hub.docker.com/r/sapse/abap-cloud-developer-trial","title":"sapse/abap-cloud-developer-trial — Docker Hub","checked":"2026-11-01","quote":"give the SAP HANA database (HDB) enough time to write its In-Memory database onto disk"},{"url":"https://hub.docker.com/r/sapse/abap-cloud-developer-trial","title":"sapse/abap-cloud-developer-trial — Docker Hub","checked":"2026-11-01","quote":"if you just shut down your laptop"},{"url":"https://hub.docker.com/v2/orgs/sapse/","title":"sapse — Docker Hub organisation","checked":"2026-11-01","quote":"SAP SE"}]}],"requires":[{"ref":"external:docker","for":"The system is delivered as a [Docker](external:docker) image and runs as a container.","sources":[{"url":"https://hub.docker.com/r/sapse/abap-cloud-developer-trial","title":"sapse/abap-cloud-developer-trial — Docker Hub","checked":"2026-11-01","quote":"docker pull sapse/abap-cloud-developer-trial:<TAGNAME>"}]}],"type_properties":{"placement":{"value":"own-infrastructure","sources":[{"url":"https://hub.docker.com/r/sapse/abap-cloud-developer-trial","title":"sapse/abap-cloud-developer-trial — Docker Hub","checked":"2026-11-01","quote":"if you just shut down your laptop"}]},"distribution":{"value":["container"],"sources":[{"url":"https://hub.docker.com/r/sapse/abap-cloud-developer-trial","title":"sapse/abap-cloud-developer-trial — Docker Hub","checked":"2026-11-01","quote":"docker pull sapse/abap-cloud-developer-trial:<TAGNAME>"}]}},"provenance":{"discovered_via":[{"source":"source:curator"}],"first_seen":"2026-11-01"},"drafted_with_ai":true},"effective_normative_relations":[],"readings":{"liveness":[{"label":"Maintenance","tier":"unknown","evidence":"no release data"},{"label":"Continuity","tier":"unknown","evidence":"no contributor data"},{"label":"Repository","tier":"unknown","evidence":"no repository data"}],"compatibility":[{"label":"Declared for","tier":"fair","evidence":"nothing declared"},{"label":"Survived majors","tier":"unknown","evidence":"not read on ABAP: its lines run side by side"},{"label":"Maintainer's CI","tier":"unknown","evidence":"no repository data"}],"practice":[{"label":"Tests","tier":"unknown","evidence":"not crawled"},{"label":"Docs","tier":"unknown","evidence":"docs link declared, tree not read"},{"label":"Changelog","tier":"unknown","evidence":"not crawled"}],"reach":[{"value":null,"unit":"installs/week"},{"value":null,"unit":"watching"}]},"signals":{"crawled_at":"2026-11-08","npm":"not published under this name"},"edges":{"maintainers":[{"ref":"actor:sap","name":"SAP","json":"/actors/sap.json"}],"contributors":[],"explained_by":[],"alternative_to_this":[],"needed_by":[],"available_via":[],"parts":[],"add_ons":[],"answered_through_parts":[]}}
