Working in the Dev Space Manager

You can create, delete, stop, and start dev spaces. You can also download dev space content, and import dev space content.

Create a Dev Space

You can generate a dev space to create and manage applications. You can select the application type that includes the extensions that you need for performing a development task.

  1. Open SAP Business Application Studio and log in with your credentials.

  2. Click Create Dev Space.

  3. Enter a name for the dev space.

  4. Select the relevant application type.

  5. (Optional) Select the relevant additional extensions to enhance your space.

  6. Click Create Dev Space.

    Note:

    The button is only enabled if you entered a dev space name.

Note:

The maximum size limit of the dev space is 6GB for productive accounts and 2GB for trial accounts. Exceeding this limit may cause loss of data and other problems, including the inability to start the dev space.

Stop, Start, or Delete Your Dev Space

If you don't need to work with your dev space for a while, you can stop your dev space. When your dev space is running, it consumes memory, energy, and CPU. If you don't use your dev space and it sits idle for too long, the dev space will be stopped.

When you restart your stopped dev space, all content in your dev space, including files and settings, remain and will be available. If you want to apply updates to extensions and bug fixes, you must stop your dev space and start it again.

Note:

By creating a dev space, you create a project and file system for yourself. If you delete your dev space, it can't be recovered. We recommend syncing, backing up, and saving your project to the Git Repository.

Add Extensions to Your Dev Space

You can add extensions to an existing dev space from the Dev Space Manager.

To add extentions, the dev space must be in the stopped state.

  1. From the Dev Space Manager, click to edit the dev space.
  2. Select the desired additional SAP extensions.
  3. Click Save Changes.

Download Dev Space Content

  • When your dev space is in the RUNNING state to save the dev space contents.
  • When your dev space is in the ERROR state to recover your data and move the contents to another dev space.

To download the content of your dev space, click and then Download.

After the download begins, the dev space state changes to STARTING. The dev space state then changes to SAFE MODE and then the tar file downloads.

When the download is complete, the tar file appears, which contains the dev space content.

Note:

After the dev space content is exported, check the total size of the dev space before uploading it to make sure that the size does not exceed 6GB.

Import Dev Space Content

  1. Create a new dev space and open it.

  2. Open the project folder.

  3. Select the project folder and click File > Upload Files.

  4. From the Downloads folder, choose the file with the dev space content.

  5. Open the terminal.

  6. Enter the following command to uncompress the uploaded file:

    tar xvzf <yourFileName>.tar.gz
