Business Case
The new risk-management application should be developed using the SAP Business Application Studio (BAS) on SAP BTP. There are several options and runtime environments available:
- ABAP Environment
- Cloud Foundry Runtime
- Kyma Runtime
Before choosing a runtime, it is essential to familiarize yourself with the level of knowledge in your development department. If the developers only have ABAP knowledge, the decision for an extension written in ABAP, which in the end runs on the ABAP environment in the cloud, is quite obvious.
Your development team consists mainly of developers with Node.js knowledge. Therefore, the decision was made to develop an extension with SAP's Node.js-based Cloud Application Programming Model (CAP). The deployment will then take place on the SAP BTP, Cloud Foundry Environment - SAP Help Portal.
As part of our development team, you will develop a CAP-based application for risk management.
Course Preview
First, you will deploy your application manually into the SAP BTP, Cloud Foundry environment. After that, you will add authorizations and make your application ready for continuous integration and delivery.

Users can create, edit, and delete risks from this list page. Each risk has the properties of impact
and priority
based on each risk's potential.
The risk manager can assign mitigations to the identified risks. Both, risks and mitigations, are stored in the extension's own database. Details like the name of the individual business partner that is authorized to make decisions will be retrieved from our S/4HANA Cloud system.
To view and edit a single risk, the user can select an item. This opens the object page:

Caveat
Note that we cannot provide a complete SAP S/4HANA Cloud system for this course. Therefore, we have chosen to use the SAP API Business Hub SAP S/4HANA Sandbox, which provides the same OData API for business partners as a real S/4HANA Cloud system.
Troubleshooting
In case you run into issues during your development process, we suggest re-reading the corresponding steps carefully.
