Business Scenario
Your company is planning to develop a set of cloud-based applications based on the SAP Cloud Application Programming Model (CAP), and these applications will be deployed to SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) as extension applications for the SAP Core Back-end Systems.
In this exercise, you will perform the following task: Add sample data to entities.
Once the structure of your application is finished, you can add sample data to the application. You either can use the visual data editor, or insert data using a CSV file.
NoteNote that some of the services that this learning journey links to, can incur costs.
If you are concerned about charges, you can opt to skip the corresponding exercises and watch the simulation instead.
Exercise Options
You can perform this exercise in two ways:
- Live Environment / Practice System: you can perform the steps provided below, either in your SAP BTP account or you use the "Practice System Access" provided below.
- Simulation: follow the step-by-step instructions within the simulation.
