ABAP on Cloud Trial on SCP set up info

ABAP on cloud was in introduced in september 2018 with official name SAP Cloud Platform ABAP Environment. SAP Cloud Platform ABAP Environment is a platform as a service (PaaS) offering for the ABAP developer community running in the Cloud Foundry environment of SAP Cloud Platform.

ABAP developers can leverage their existing ABAP know-how to develop and run native ABAP applications, either as an extension to SAP software or as standalone applications.So, we  can combine latest ABAP on HANA with the innovations available in SAP Cloud Platform, like SAP Leonardo, and the benefits of a cloud-based deployment.

To connect to the ABAP Trial service, SCP trial account is a must. Yo can create one here ‘https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/1.36.15/docs/guide/34bfb4531a974bf7be15f5937c7899d8.html’ If you don’t have one already

All tool access in SAP Cloud Platform ABAP environment is done with the native Eclipse plug-ins. you can install latest version of eclipse from https://tools.hana.ondemand.com/
