I am developing my first SAP HANA application. You've to use SAP HANA Studio IDE to make SAP HANA-based apps. Since it is an eclipse-based IDE, perspectives play an important role here as you can expect. Here is a quick recap on SAP HANA Studio perspectives I used so far:
- Administration console - This perspective allows you to monitor, configure and diagnose various aspects of SAP HANA server.
- Modeler - This is developer's friend in many ways. You can create various different types of SAP HANA artifacts such as package, procedure, delivery units etc. using this perspective
- SAP HANA Development - As the name suggests, this perspective helps you organize your core development artifacts such as repository, projects, development objects etc.
- Debug - Developer's efficiency significantly depends upon the debugging tools available. This perspective allows to debug code in SAP HANA.
There are more perspectives which I'll write about as I get time. Till then enjoy your SAP HANA journey!
