Course Summary

Based on an end-to-end business scenario, you’ll learn how to design and implement your own working prototypes and experience first-hand just how easy it is to extend SAP S/4HANA on-premise without impacting your SAP S/4HANA back-end system.

Each week will focus on the delivery of a new extension as part of a corporate procurement scenario. By the end of the course, you’ll have all SAP S/4HANA extensions up and running in your own SAP HANA Cloud Platform trial account.

After an initial introduction to typical scenarios and architectures, you’ll work on extension development projects on SAP HANA Cloud Platform and

• set up integration with SAP HANA cloud connector and OData provisioning
• integrate your SAP S/4HANA extensions with real back-end data using replication, OData APIs, and remote function modules
• discover how to create an even more engaging user experience using SAP Web IDE and SAP Fiori, cloud service
• learn about analytical scenarios on SAP HANA Cloud Platform with SAP HANA and SAP BusinessObjects Cloud
• find out how to use collaborative scenarios with SAP Jam
• have the opportunity to use mobile SAP Fiori hybrid Web applications to support mobile scenarios

You’ll also learn more about Internet of Things (IoT) scenarios supported by SAP HANA Cloud Platform and gain practical experience working with SAP HANA Cloud Platform, Internet of Things service(s).

The registration, learning content, and final exam are free of charge. You will be able to get some practical experience of the platform by using a free developer account. We’ll explain how you can access this at the start of the course.

Development Systems

If your primary interest in taking this course is to obtain a technical overview of the development-related capabilities of SAP HANA Cloud Platform, you do not need access to a development system. However, to get a deeper understanding of the capabilities used, we recommend you follow the hands-on exercises. For this purpose we will provide the required systems and installation instructions in week 1 of this course.

Changes to Hands-on Systems

Dear Learners,
Some of the hands-on exercises for this openSAP course were designed to be used with SAP Cloud Platform Neo trial accounts. These accounts are no longer actively supported and as of November 2020 it is not possible to create new ones. Please note that the exercises may not work when using an SAP Cloud Platform multi-cloud trial account.
