In this blog post, I will guide you step by step process for Migration of SAP UI5 Application from SAP Web IDE to Visual Studio Code (VS Code). And deployment of the application to S/4 HANA On-Promise ABAP Repository from Visual Studio Code (VS Code).

I have taken reference from

SAP Help Document

Follow the below link to set up Visual Studio Code for SAPUI5 development @Lena Hammerer

Getting Ready for UI5 Development with Visual Studio Code

In this article will discuss

Migration of SAP Web IDE Project into VS Code

1. Download the BSP application from S/4 HANA On-Promise ABAP Repository using SAP Web IDE.
2. Create a workspace for Visual Studio Code UI5 Development and copy the source code to workspace.
3. Start the migration process using Visual Studio Code.
4. Modify the ui5.yaml file to connect S/4 HANA On-Promise system & Preview the application.

1. Add the gateway system details in Visual Studio Code.
2. Add deployment configuration.
3. Deploy the application to S/4 HANA On-Promise system ABAP repository.

Lets get started.

• Create ui5-deploy.yaml file for deployment configuration

Note: Before deployment please create your package & Transport request. If your deploying into $TMP package then Transport Request is not required

ui5-deploy.yaml file

Step 3: Deploy the application to S/4 HANA On-Promise system ABAP repository.

• Add deploy scripts in package.json

"deploy": "npm run build && fiori deploy --config ui5-deploy.yaml && rimraf archive.zip",

Successfully deployed the application

• Congratulations! You have successfully deployed and tested your SAPUI5 application.

Troubleshooting

There are a variety of virus scan errors:

• Virus scan server error
• No virus scan profile is selected as the default.
• Virus scan errors should not block the deployment process. The virus scan should be configured in such a way so as not to disturb the deployment process.
• Also, a default virus scan profile should be selected in the system or switched off entirely.
• See SAP Note: https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/3052386
