Solution:
Use GIT as the exchange platform for the content. Now you can change the design objects, source code, HTML and so in both IDE environments.
You can also import and export content but it is assumed that you have a versioning tool in place.
Setting things up:
SAP WebIDE:
As for GIT usage please look up other tutorials
In SAP WebIDE there a 4 places where you can check / change your git parameters or execute git commands:
Global Preferences
Project Settings
Project Context Menu
Git pane / History
Now on the business application studio this is centralised in on perspective:
GIT perspective in Business Application Studio
From here you can connect to the remote GIT address as:
Set a remote repository
Now that everything is set up the work can start:
Step 1: Push the content from WebIDE to GIT:
Push content from WebIDE to GIT
View the content in GIT:
WebIDE content now in GIT
Now use the project in BAS and change something like this string to string(100):
Use project and change in BAS
Now the content is send back to GIT (synchronise)
Synchronise the BAS changes with GIT
This change is now reflected in GIT:
Changes from BAS viewed in GIT
So we are back in WebIDE and can see the changes that are done in BAS also in WebIDE:
Changes arrive back in WebIDE
Summary:
If you have different code creating or editing tools, the GIT environment (or compatible others) allow to keep track of the changes from multiple sides.
In particular with WebIDE and BAS this allows to switch to a modern environment. The used artefacts are the same. However BAS is much more feature rich with complementary other public components or even own written extensions and tools.
So if you develop on HANA Service you can switch now.
For XSA (WebIDE) SAP will allow an upgraded BAS version that is supporting XSA / HANA 2 connectivity and deployment later this year.
