SAP Cloud Applications Studio SAP Cloud for Customer core applications

"Access to path is denied", cannot open the solution in the new SAP Cloud Applications Studio

2025-08-18T09:45:42.586000+02:00

Hi,

Ever since installing Visual Studio 2022 and the new Cloud Application Studio extension (2508), whenever I try to open an existing solution, I keep getting the following error:

Severity	Code	Description	Project	File	Line	Suppression State
Error		Severe error while opening a solution: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\CUSTOMERSYSTEM\Y......\' is denied.

I can open the customer's system without any issues, then I try to open the solution, that's when I get the above error.

To me it seems like it wants to try opening the solution at the wrong place. That folder is the installation folder, it should open up the folder it created under my user instead (C:\Users\User\source\repos). So far the only thing that fixes it is reinstalling the VSIX add-on, then I can open the solution but this is so annoying to do every single time. Is there a way to fix this issue? I tried searching but I couldn't find anything useful.

Thanks!

Hello guys,

Does any one knows how to configure the system connection of the new VS extension ?

previously I had a powershell script that would update a windows' registry entry everytime there was an sdk update to avoid re-enter manually all our environments...

is there any workaround now? another key register or config file to maintain in the extension folder?

please help

SAP Cloud Application Studio 2508 installation

2025-09-01T16:10:23.878000+02:00

Dear Experts,

We are currently experiencing a challenge with SAP Cloud Application Studio 2508 (Pilot) installation to extend SAP Business ByDesign.

Following the instructions provided in the SAP Help Portal (link below), we completed the installation:

SAP Help On Application Studio

However, when attempting to log in, we receive the error message:

“SAP Cloud Applications Studio (Pilot) is not enabled in this system. For more information, click Help.”

This occurs despite having followed all the steps outlined for the 2508 release, including:

Installing Visual Studio 2022 (Enterprise or Professional).

Downloading and installing the VSIX Extension from the SAP Software Download Center (to enable SAP Cloud Extension in Visual Studio 2022).

Downloading and installing SAP Cloud Application Studio 2508 (Pilot).

As part of our troubleshooting, we also uninstalled older versions of SAP Cloud Application Studio and any previously installed Visual Studio instances, but the issue persists.

Could you kindly advise on the next steps to resolve this?

Thank you in advance for your support.

ByDesign, PDI custom business object email template

2025-09-08T13:32:54.285000+02:00

Dear Community!

Could someone give me an advice in ByDesign email templates?

I have an issue with email sending. Its ok to manage custom BO email sending, and also HTML template usage, BUT

There is the form template management option in ByD, where i can add email template for forms. I have my custom form there, and i can add an email template, but how can i use it from there? It will be an easier way to develop email sending for our custom BO, because i dont need a technical BO where i manage the email template (even the customer can add new template is this case).

So i want to read the attached email template at form templates, is there any way to get this?

Thank you,

András

OBN navigation to check user access rights

2025-09-09T13:33:14.740000+02:00

Long shot as I know not many people are using this now - but -

In C4C / PDI / SDK I have an EC on a standard screen I want to control visibility of it via an OBN as suggested here - using $controller.CheckNavigationTarget('OBNNavigationOutport') in a script to see if the user has the required permission to the target of the OBN.

I created an OBN to the QC of a custom object, however the above script always returns 'true', even if the user hasn't got the required WCView assigned for the custom object that the OBN targets. Also I've tried adding a button to the EC that calls the OBN, and it will take me to the QC even if the user shouldn't have permission. Is there some extra step I'm missing?

Operators available in Regular Expressions (RegEx) in ABSL - hexadecimal values

2025-10-10T12:52:59.124000+02:00

Dear Experts,

We have a requirement to validate certain text fields by checking whether they contain any non-UTF-8 characters. For this purpose, we would like to use the built-in .FindRegex function for strings in ABSL.

However, to achieve this, we need to reference the allowed characters by their hexadecimal values. Normally, this is done using escape tokens such as as \x or \u. For example, the following RegEx works correctly in standard implementations (see www.regex101.com😞

[^\x{0000}-\x{c5be}]

Unfortunately, this expression does not seem to be interpreted correctly by ABSL. It appears that ABSL can interpret escape tokens to some extent — for instance, the following RegEx works as expected:

[^\\x00-\\x99]

(The first backslash escapes the second one so that ABSL interprets it correctly.)

However, this pattern is limited to single-byte values only (from 00 fo FF) and we need to include all UTF-8 characters, which requires two-byte tokens such as the one in the earlier example.

I'm seeking general technical background information about the RegEx flavour used in C4C. Specifically, if it is based on PCRE2, because then it should support both \x63 and \x{0063} syntaxes. However, only the former seems to be recognized, which suggests either a different underlying standard is being used or there is an explicit limitation in functionality.

Could you please provide documentation or guidance on which operators are supported in ABSL for use in the .FindRegEx function?

Thank you and best regards,
Marek

Problem with access to new SAP Cloud Application Studio in C4C

2025-11-07T09:29:54.358000+01:00

Hello,

I'm working at C4C developing in Visual Studio 2022. As you know, since August of this year, what we knew as SAP Cloud Application Studio has become an extension within the Visual Studio program.

Now we've run into a problem: when SAP updates the development environments, we have a two-week window before the production environment is updated, and we don't have access to it, not even to view the code.

This problem arises because previously we had SAP Cloud Application Studio with both versions installed on our PCs, and we could access whichever one we wanted. Now we have to uninstall the extension with the old version and install the new version.

Does anyone have a solution to access the production environment during these two weeks?

My possible solutions are to set up a virtual machine on my PC with the older version or use a different PC.

Unable to update Alternative Employee ID field via Cloud Applications Studio HCM024

Hi All,

I would like to update the Alternative Employee ID field for PartyIdentifierType HCM024 via Cloud Applications Studio.

Both are related to migration template, whereas we want to do this regularly.

change key fields in custom BO in SAP C4C V1 after transported to other system

2026-02-20T13:54:29.900000+01:00

Hi All,

I have a custom BO as follows

import AP.Common.GDT as apCommonGDT;

businessobject CBO {

        // Root node must not be specified, it is created implicitly
        //
        // Add elements here. 
        // 
        // To declare an element as alternative key, use the [AlternativeKey] annotation.
        // Please note:
        // - An alternative key of type UUID exists implicitly for each node, enabling the node
        //   to be used as an association target.
        // - The QueryByElements query is created automatically for each node.
        // - Code completion is available with CTRL + SPACE.
		
   [Label("field1")] [AlternativeKey] element SerialNumber : ID ;
   [Label ("field2")]  [AlternativeKey] element field2 :LANGUAGEINDEPENDENT_MEDIUM_Description;
   [Label ("field3")]    element field3 :LANGUAGEINDEPENDENT_MEDIUM_Description;
   [Label ("field4")]   element field4 :LANGUAGEINDEPENDENT_MEDIUM_Description; 
   
   }

This CBO is transported to various tenants. I want to change the CBO as follows in which I need to change the annotation for one of the fields and make it as non alternativekey. Does this need a deletion patch? Is this allowed using the regular patch movement.

import AP.Common.GDT as apCommonGDT;

businessobject CBO {

        // Root node must not be specified, it is created implicitly
        //
        // Add elements here. 
        // 
        // To declare an element as alternative key, use the [AlternativeKey] annotation.
        // Please note:
        // - An alternative key of type UUID exists implicitly for each node, enabling the node
        //   to be used as an association target.
        // - The QueryByElements query is created automatically for each node.
        // - Code completion is available with CTRL + SPACE.
		
   [Label("field1")] [AlternativeKey] element SerialNumber : ID ;
   [Label ("field2")]  element field2 :LANGUAGEINDEPENDENT_MEDIUM_Description;
   [Label ("field3")]    element field3 :LANGUAGEINDEPENDENT_MEDIUM_Description;
   [Label ("field4")]   element field4 :LANGUAGEINDEPENDENT_MEDIUM_Description; 
   
   }

Let me know if anyone has encountered this situation before.

Best Regards
