What are the Rules of the Game ?
This trial is a Shared Offering. Opposed to other trial offerings in SAP Cloud Platform this is a shared trial offering. Trial users share an instance of the same backend system. As in an on premise ABAP development system the content is not separated which means you are able to see and change all objects that other developers have created. And they can to see and change the objects that you have developed. As a result we ask you to be careful when editing objects. So you should always be sure to replace the placeholders XXX provided in our tutorials with an unused 3-digit number or 3-character combination.

It’s for educational purposes only. The system may only be used to educate yourself. You must not use it for any other purposes.
It has a limited lifetime. The total lifetime of a shared trial system is 4 months. The first month is used for onboarding the users. After the onboarding period each user can use the system up to 3 months.
What is in that box and how can I import code?
For your convenience we have preinstalled the Flight Reference Scenario for the ABAP RESTful Programming Model. So no need for you to install it again. The Flight Reference Scenario provides sample data and services as well as legacy business logic to get familiar with the ABAP RESTful Programming Model. You can check out the end-to-end scenarios or build your own app based on the reference scenario and sample data.
As described in Use abapGit to Transform ABAP Source Code to the Cloud you can also import your own code into the trial system. This is possible using the abapGit client that comes with the ABAP Development Tools. But remember, this is a shared trial, so you must not upload anything beside your own demo code.
