SAP Business Application Studio
SAP's development environment for business applications, delivered as a cloud service and opened in a browser, where work happens in preconfigured dev spaces.
SAP Business Application Studio is a development environment delivered as a cloud service and reached from a browser, so developing an SAP business application needs no software installed on the local machine. SAP describes it as the next generation of SAP Web IDE. Work happens in preconfigured dev spaces for scenarios SAP names as SAP Fiori, SAP S/4HANA extension and Workflow, each carrying wizards and templates, code and graphical editors, local test run and debug, terminal access and quick deployment. It runs on Cloud Foundry regions across AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Alibaba and SAP's own infrastructure, with a free, a trial and a productive standard-edition plan.

Readings
- The ECC-to-CAP Starter KitThe ECC-to-CAP Starter KitA Devtoberfest 2026 session that builds a CAP service and a Fiori elements list report over an SAP ECC gateway service, on the argument that the CAP project, its contract and its UI survive a later move to SAP S/4HANA while the APIs behind them change. The service integration edge is the body of the demo: the metadata of the ECC flight service is saved as an EDMX file, imported with cds import so the model holds the structure and none of the data, projected read-only into a flight service, and one line of handler code forwards each read to ECC, with filtering, sorting and paging translated down to the older OData version the system speaks. The SAP Destination service edge covers the on-premise destination and the additional properties the walkthrough insists on, and the SAP Business Application Studio edge covers the full-stack dev space, the CAP project wizard, the service center plugin for picking up another OData service, and cds watch run under the profile that uses those credentials.published 2026-10-09Sebastiano Marchesini, YouTube — SAP Developers playlists
- HANA SQL NOTEBOOKS in SAP BUILD / Business Application Studio(BAS) / Visual Studio CodeHANA SQL NOTEBOOKS in SAP BUILD / Business Application Studio(BAS) / Visual Studio CodeWalks through SAP HANA SQL Notebooks, a .notebook file opened inside a dev space of SAP Business Application Studio (also reached from SAP Build and Visual Studio Code), that mixes CODE and MARKDOWN blocks and needs the project's mta and hana facets added first with cds add. A CODE block's connection-management mode uses a '#' syntax to list, select and show the active SAP HANA connection, drawn from the HANA Database Explorer's saved connections or the project's own Cloud Foundry connection, so any valid SQL statement can then run against the project's HDI container.published 2025-01-01Volker Saggau, SAP Community
- Explore SAP Fiori elements for ABAP developersExplore SAP Fiori elements for ABAP developersSAP Fiori elements for an ABAP developer who now builds the UI as well as the RAP business object behind it, the transactional model of ABAP Cloud, in SAP Business Application Studio; the abstract calls the UI side new territory for that developer, and a Fiori elements app is rendered from the service's Fiori annotations rather than hand-written UI code. The abstract names the tool and the stack and does not say which floorplan or annotations are shown.
