Sap hana application development tools

SAP BTP, serverless runtime provides a CLI that interacts with its REST API. For more information on how to install and use the CLI, see the documentation.

SAP Health Data Services for FHIR, command line interface

Use the SAP Health Data Services for FHIR, command line interface to perform content lifecycle management with FHIR packages.
You must have a service instance for SAP Health Data Services for FHIR to work with FHIR packages. For more information, see Initial Setup.

  1. Download the latest version of the CLI.
  2. Initialize the CLI using the init command.

Use the same download file for Windows (x64) and Mac OS X (x64) operating system.
For more information, see the documentation.

Cloud Connector

The Cloud Connector is an optional on-premise component that is needed to integrate on-demand applications with customer backend services and is the counterpart of SAP Connectivity service.
For more information, see the Cloud Connector documentation.
Please check SAP note 3302250 for details about the support strategy of Cloud Connector.
Exceptionally, the installers for the previous feature release 2.16 remain available for download, as 2.17 allows an upgrade starting from 2.13 only. The same is the case for applying backups. Thus you can still upgrade your no longer supported installation of Cloud Connector for very outdated releases. It is strongly recommended to plan upgrades of such versions as soon as possible, as the 2.16 installers will be withdrawn at the latest once the next feature release of Cloud Connector will be published.
Note: The Portable archives for Cloud Connector are meant for non-productive scenarios only. They can be used even if you don't have administrator permissions on the machine, on which you like to use the Cloud Connector. However, those variants do not support upgrades from previous versions.

* Read the prerequisites page of the documentation in order to inform yourself about the supported operating system versions and JVMs.

(**) Information about the embedded use of SAP GUI for Java in ADT:

SAP recommends to use the latest version of SAP GUI for Java 7.80 to be compatible with the newer versions of Eclipse Temurin bundled with the standard Eclipse packages as well as the x86_64 and AArch64 architectures of the macOS operating system.

Regarding AArch64/x86_64 compatibility, see SAP note 3251738.

If you want to remove the bundled JRE from Eclipse and use a custom one, see SAP note 3035242.

Enhanced SAP Change and Transport System (CTS+)

With the enhanced Change and Transport System (CTS+) you can transport non-ABAP objects via the on premise ABAP Server and it’s Change and Transport System (CTS). The standard offering requires the usage of a web-based user interface and a manual interaction to attach content to a CTS+ transport request. With this ctsattach tool you are able to automate this attachment step or trigger it via command line tool.
It is a Java based standalone command line tool with which the attachment of files (e.g. *.tgz, *.mtar) from a file system to the non-ABAP CTS+ transport request can be triggered (without the need of the so called Transport Organizer Web UI). One use case for the usage of this tool is the demand to integrate the step “export and attach to CTS+” into a Continuous Integration (CI) pipeline via a CI Server like Jenkins.
For further details around CTS+, please see: link.

Details:
Further information can be found in the built in help of the tool by using the command 'ctsattach help'.
In order to run the tool a Java 7 or higher JRE installation is required and the JAVA_HOME environment variable must be set. After downloading the tool it must be extracted (zip archive format) to a given directory, from there it can be executed by calling the 'ctsattach' batch file.
