There are hardware, software and service prerequisites for participating in this Virtual Event.
Each participant must have their own laptop with enough admin privileges to be able to install software. You must also be able to access a command line shell (e.g. cmd.exe on Windows). The laptop must also be able to connect to the Internet.
Before the Virtual Event, participants must ensure they have the following installed on their laptops:
- Chrome (latest version) : https://www.google.com/chrome/
- Postman : https://www.getpostman.com/downloads/
Participants should also install:
- Docker Desktop : https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop (once installed, test out the installation by following the instructions here for macOS or here for Windows, ensuring that you can run the
dockercommand line tool)
Note: Docker Desktop is required to host a container where you will run an instance of the SAP Cloud Connector in one of the exercises. The installation of Docker Desktop is strongly recommended, because not having it means that you will not be able to complete that exercise. However, you can still continue the Virtual Event as instructions will be provided describing the appropriate alternative configuration needed.
Each attendee must have the following already set up and enabled:
-
an SAP Cloud Platform trial account. If you need to create a new account, go to https://account.hanatrial.ondemand.com/#/home/welcome, select the "Register" button and follow the instructions.
-
within your SAP Cloud Platform trial account, the Cloud Foundry trial should be set up, with an organization and space ready to work in (if you follow the setup instructions on a new trial account, you'll be led through this process automatically).
-
an account on the SAP NetWeaver Gateway Demo system "ES5". Sign up here and then ensure your account is active and the username and password are correct, by checking you can access HTTP-based services such as the EPM_REF_APPS_SHOP_SRV OData service. If you need more help, you can follow the "Create an Account on the Gateway Demo System" tutorial.
Further to the software prerequisites described above, we also recommend:
- The JSON Formatter extension for Google Chrome
- The XML Tree extension for Google Chrome
