Thanks for your help.

As you wrote in the comments that you do not have an .xsaccess file, it cannot work by default. You need following two files in your xs project.

- ".xsapp" with content

{ }

- ".xsaccess" with content (at least that, that the content is exposed; there are lot more config options which you can check in the documentation)

{
   "exposed": true
}

Regards,
Florian

Thanks a lot. It's the good reason.

I would add the comment that you are doing XS Classic based development. While that's fine if that's what you really want to do, please note that XSC is obsolete/deprecated. It will be removed in the near future and you must convert to XS Advanced. Therefore if you are just learning, then its probably better to focus on your efforts on XSA and not XSC.

No offence but I think SAP is going too fast in the HANA highway. My company implemented HANA just 2 years ago and today I find out that most of new Fiori Apps do not compatible with the system. We have no choice but to use older versions.

Hi Thomas,

I would learn the two because in France, customers have the XS classic solution.

Is it possible to work from sap hana studio in XS Advanced?

Have you tutorial or link to learn XSA?

[thomas_jung]

No HANA Studio is also deprecated and has no functionality to support XSA or HDI based development. You should instead use the SAP Web IDE for SAP HANA.

There are many documents and tutorials. A Google search for SAP HANA XSA reveals a great many of them. For really getting started I'd recommend the openSAP courses.

Too fast? Just to be clear XSA (along with SAP Web IDE for SAP HANA and HDI) were all introduced nearly three years ago in HANA 1.0 SPS 11. Since then we've have updated to these capabilities in HANA 1.0 SPS 12, HANA 2.0 SPS 0, HANA 2.0 SPS 01, HANA 2.0 SPS 02, and HANA 2.0 SPS 03. So it isn't as though XSA is brand new. Furthermore we heard from customers that they didn't want to have to upgrade their core HANA DB to get new functionality in XSA or tooling. Therefore we've made XSA and SAP Web IDE for SAP HANA both backwards compatible. This means you can upgrade to the latest HANA 2.0 SPS 03 version of these tools without having to upgrade your HANA DB itself. It can remain on HANA 1.0 SPS 12. As far as the deprecation of XS Classic, we announced that over 1 year ago. We are trying to give customers plenty of time and notice before we remove it. We won't do so until the next major release of HANA after HANA 2.0. Still its something everyone should take seriously and already be working on their migrations and education. That's why I would recommend that anyone starting a journey now should begin with XSA, HDI and the Web IDE for SAP HANA whenever possible.

As far as your new Fiori Apps not being compatible, not sure what you are referring to their.
