Introducing the Practice System Exercise Environment

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to explain necessary information to set up the exercise environment in the pre-configured SAP learning system​.

The Practice System Exercise Environment

Hands-on exercises are available for most of the units in this course: Composable Storefront, Personalization, Search, Promotions & Coupons, and Omni Commerce Connect (OCC).

All the exercise materials are accessible in the preconfigured exercise environment on the SAP Learning System Access server (LSA).

Note

While it is not mandatory to book the practice system to complete the learning journey, it is highly recommended. Gaining hands-on experience can significantly enhance your understanding of the learning material.​

The blog post Hands-on Practice Systems: Your Path to Mastering SAP Commerce Cloud contains the information that you need to find or book a practice system. Remember to search for "C4H34A" to find the Practice System entry for this course.

After booking the practice system, follow the instructions in the related system setup guide (SSG) available in the resource list of each practice system entry to log in to the exercise environment server.

Go to your home directory and find the c4h34a_2211 folder. In this folder, you find the following subfolders.

Screenshot of the four folders in the c4h34a_2211 folder, as described in the following text.
  • Exercises folder: Contains a PDF file for each exercise. You can perform these exercises after completing the related unit in the learning journey.​
  • advancedRestClient folder: Contains the advancedRestClient app required by the exercise in the Unit 8 (Omni Commerce Connect/OCC)
  • eclipse-bundle folder: Contains a preconfigured eclipse IDE for development
  • workspace folder: Contains the SAP Commerce Cloud system resources

Before you begin the exercises, refer to the following video that provides a basic understanding of the exercise setup.

Exercise Setup​

Once you've grasped the basics of performing the exercises, refer to and complete the Exercise Class Setup in the Exercises folder.

If you encounter a problem along the way, you can refer to the following video demo of the setup exercise.

Note that while the video mentions a folder named c4h34be_2211, you will use the folder called c4h34a_2211 for this learning journey. This minor difference is inconsequential and can be disregarded, as all other resources remain identical.

Remember to follow the exercise instructions in the Class Setup Exercise PDF step by step. The demo video highlights the main steps, serving as a good guide. However, make sure to perform actions like running the "archive" ant target according to the setup exercise's instructions to back up your completed installation, as per the setup exercise.​

After completing the setup exercise, you are ready to perform the exercises in the subsequent units as part of your learning journey.
