In this blog I’d like to compare the available platforms for SAPUI5 development. The below table shows three systems with access to SAP NetWeaver Gateway 2.0 and their features.
All of the following systems allow to work with the Eclipse environment. This is possible after installing the UI development toolkit for HTML5. To learn how to install UI development toolkit for HTML5 please view this presentation http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-46226 or refer the link https://tools.hana.ondemand.com/#sapui5.
What is more, if you install Eclipse Juno you can use The Gateway Productivity Accelerator. For more information please refer the link http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-52235.
So, if you want to know:
- how to access each of these systems
- if the system allows you to create services
- if the system has a UI-Add-On 1.0
- if the system allows you to include a program on the server ABAP
- whether you have to pay for access to the system
you have to immediately read this blog!
