i see a message has been hidden.

can the person who wrote this, try to reword, or give a clue as to what was written.

also, as time progresses, i am successfully managing a non-xs project (general project) in studio.

it's a bit odd, because wherever you look, you always see mention of creating an XS project.

in my scenario, we are simply creating CDS documents. no application, nothing else, and for this purpose, a plain project suits just fine.

can anyone support or argue this point, i am making ?

thanks

glen,

it was me who wrote the hidden message but the moderator removed it.. it seemed like (s)he thought the content wasn't appropriate. as you see the project type may not have much to do with what you need... hope this answer is not too bad

hi sergio

well, i have been playing around, and may have answered my question with your help.

if i am simply creating CDS files, i can do this in a plain Project.

Team sharing, checking in and out, synchronizing etc, is all present.

can i create CDS files in a non XS Project - try this

the purpose of creating an XS project to create the artifact is because, the XS engine does the activity. When you create a hdbtable file, in your project and activate it, the XS engine only creating the corresponding DDL statements and execute it.

Hi sreehari

Sure. I understand what you are saying.

But. ...

Is there any purpose of creating a non xs project?

Imaging you have to explain the reason why this can be done. What would it be?

Here is the question. What is a non XS project created for?

Hi Glen,

Project group together all the artifacts related to the application development. In a basic project you can have files and folders to advanced projects that can be used for builds, version management, resource maintenance etc., A project type ensures only necessary libraries for type of development objects are imported. HANA Studio is based on open source eclipse that can be used for a variety of SAP and non-SAP related development projects. Specifically talking about SAP & HANA development, there are other project types for example SAP UI5 development, WebDynpro development, BW development, ABAP development. Majority of HANA development uses XS Project.
