Editor support

On BTP the editor is a cloud service: SAP Business Application Studio opens a preconfigured dev space in a browser, with code and graphical editors, terminal access and deployment in one place and no software installed on the developer's machine.

Overview

SAP SHIPS

SAP ships the editor on BTP as a cloud service: SAP Business Application Studio, described as the next generation of SAP Web IDE, has code and graphical editors and terminal access in a browser, and SAP Build Code puts code editors integrated with Git and CI/CD beside visual modelling tools for CAP applications.

Not covered: In SAP's cloud, reached from a browser with no software installed on the local machine; SAP Build Code states its scope as SAPUI5, SAP Fiori, mobile and CAP applications running on the Cloud Foundry runtime.

SAP Web IDE Full-Stack is present too; its record carries a notice that the service, in the region marked "Neo", is being removed from the Eligible Cloud Services List on December 31, 2028.

THE COMMUNITY ADDS
