## What it does

This skill provides the assistant with reference data for SAP Business Application Studio on SAP BTP. It outlines configuration requirements for dev spaces, covering setups for SAP Fiori, CAP, native HANA, and mobile projects. It also contrasts service plans: Standard provides 10 dev spaces and 10 GB of storage, while Free and Trial provide 4 GB with only 1 running space.

Deployment instructions center on building archives via `mbt build` and pushing them to Cloud Foundry with `cf deploy`. For external connections, destination configurations require `WebIDEEnabled = true` and `HTML5.DynamicDestination = true`. Connecting to on-premise systems through Cloud Connector demands HTTP virtual hosts and path access to endpoints like `/sap/opu/odata/` and `/sap/bc/adt/`.

Trial spaces delete automatically after 30 days of inactivity. This makes long-term storage in trial setups risky. You must also assign the `Business_Application_Studio_Developer` role collection before developers can open the tool.
