In this blog I am collecting information about what you can do in advance when attending a SAP CodeJam about SAP Gateway and provide links about SCN blogs that we will use in such an event.
What to prepare in advance
*Remember this is a "bring your own laptop" event**
You might be asking what you can do in order to prepare for the upcoming CodeJam event about SAP Gateway.
Gateway System
We will provide a SAP Gateway Sandbox system for the time of the event. This will however be dismantled afterwards. So if you want to work in a system that is available after the event we recommend to go for a SCN Trial Editions of SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP 7.4. More information how to get your hands on a trial version can be found here: http://www.sap.com/abaptrial
SAPGUI
In order to connect to the Gateway System and to develop you own services you have to have SAPGUI installed on your desktop. If not already installed you can get it here: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/index?rid=/webcontent/uuid/1024acfb-5b30-2e10-f2bd-ccce5d8692b1
SAP Web IDE
In order to generate a SAP UI5 application that can consume the OData service that you are going to build we will use SAP Web IDE.
There is no need to install anything on your laptop since SAP Web IDE runs in the SAP HANA Cloud platform.
The only thing that you have to do is to register for a free HCP developer account using your SCN credentials.
