The version of SAP Web IDE Local Installation has been updated to SAP Web IDE 1602 (based on the January release of SAP Web IDE on HANA Cloud Platform).
The local installation version allows you to experience the SAP Web IDE capabilities and see how simple it is to create and extend SAP Fiori/SAPUI5/hybrid applications with SAP Web IDE.
It is available for test and evaluation purposes (non-productive usage only) via SCN, and contains many new features.
We strongly recommend our cloud offering as this allows you to benefit from the latest features of SAP Web IDE without any installation effort.
It also enables seamless integration with SAP HANA Cloud Platform services e.g. Fiori launchpad, Git, Fiori Cloud edition, HCP Mobile services and additional future integrations like HCI, Usage Analytics.
Based on the interest from customers, we are looking into releasing a local version of the SAP Web IDE also for productive usage in 2016.
We are currently examining the legal framework and conditions under which such a version should be released (e.g. what will be the capabilities, support model, etc.)
We plan to share more updates on the topic towards our 1605 release (May 2016).
The focus of SAP's strategy will remain delivering SAP Web IDE with the full set of capabilities and full support via SAP HANA Cloud Platform.
Stay tuned for more updates…
