ABAP ADT prerequisites? - abap

What do i need for setting up a connection to a local database in Eclipse to start developing in ABAP? I already installed the plugin for ABAP but i can't connect to a database. Any suggestions?

ABAP Development Tools (ADT) is an add-on to Eclipse to develop in ABAP, but it's only the frontend software, it requires another software, the "backend" (also called the ABAP-based system).
Did someone give you the credentials to an existing ABAP-based system, or did you install your own free trial system (SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP Developer Edition) or did you subscribe to a cloud-based ABAP non-free trial system?
If you have none of these three systems, then I recommend that you install the free version on your laptop, for instance the latest 7.52 SP04 version.

Unlike other development scenarios, ABAP development requires a backend repository.
Without an SAP Netweaver Stack (ABAP server) there is no repository.
The ABAP repository is where:
ABAP code is stored,
ABAP code is compiled
and where code is executed.
Eclipse is the only the IDE and it is constantly communicating with the ABAP server.

ADT works through RFC connection and requires some ICF services to be enabled on backend. Did you make some necessary configurations in backend? alike:
profile paramethers
S_ADT_RES, S_RFC authorizations
docu, toolsdocu ICF services

Oracle iPlanet webserver migration to WAS Liberty profile

I would like to know the steps involved in migrating the Oracle Iplanet webserver(v6) to WAS Liberty profile. Also please let me know the feasibility and the challenges involved.
The changes needed will depend on the application being migrated. You can use the binary scanner tool to scan your application for changes needed to migrate to liberty. Run the tool against your war/ear/jar file(s) with the --sourceAppServer=other --targetAppServer=liberty options.

Is there any restriction for using all APIs in gitlab community edition?

I am trying to use api calls for getting the files under a repository and the different commits on a particular repository. I want to know whether all the APIs are available for community edition also.
No there is no restriction. Especially the actions you have mentioned are basic features which would be a big drawback if they wouldn't be completely available.
This is the Gitlab API of the community edition: GitLab CE API
And this is the enterprise edition: GitLab EE API
For completeness here is the overall comparision of CE and EE: Compare Gitlab versions

Can we implement IWAP reports with IBM Worklight developer edition

Can we implement IWAP reports with developer edition of IBM Worklight 6.0 ? If yes please guide me with technical document or any link. Is this feature only available with Enterprise or Consumer version ?
If yes then how can we implement/test this on development environment. And can anyone please provide me with list of features which are not available with developer version(one which comes into my mind is Application Center).
The Operational Analytics feature introduced in Worklight 6.0 is only available for paid versions of IBM Worklight 6.0. There's a file (analytics.zip) in the resulting IBM Installation Manager output folder that contains everything you need to setup the IBM Websphere Analytics Platform (IWAP). Once you have IWAP installed, you will need to modify a couple of properties inside worklight.properties which, among other things, tell the Worklight Server where to send the analytics data.
Regarding features found only in paid versions, beside Application Center and Operational Analytics, ability to use other DBMS (MySQL, DB2, etc.) and Application Servers (WAS, Tomcat, etc.). There are also Ant scripts that aim to help with common tasks like deployments.

WCF service deployment - tools

There is a WCF service which is running under IIS. This service accesses the files in its folder, it accesses a SQL Server database and it writes messages to the EventLog.
The deployment platform is Windows Server 2008 in some datacenter. I developed the service, but I'm really still a beginner.
The deployment will causes the creation of a new Windows user account and, possibly, a role that is assigned to that user. This is needed to start the service from a separate account with strictly defined rights (as I understand, this approach is recommended, but not to start the service from NT Service account).
Obviously, the deployment needs to run scripts to create database, tables, scheduling of tasks.
What tools could you advice to accomplish such a deployment? Maybe I can use the standard Setup Project? Or some third-party tools such as WiX Toolset? Should I use PowerShell to create windows user account and role?
There is also a question: should I pull the prerequisites, such as .NET framework installer, SQL Server installer?
You can rely on Windows installer using tools like WIX, InstallShield or Advanced Installer. WIX is the only free one albeit it has a higher learner curve. There are other free windows installation software solutions available as well such as NSIS. You can also write your own scripts such as in Powershell to create the IIS virtual directory, application pool and connect to the RDBMS to create the schema. You'll probably also would like to have an undeployment solution so you can uninstall it and upgrade it in the future. The Windows installer based tools almost gives you uninstall for free because it maintains a database of everything that was done during installation sans the custom actions you write such as the database schema setup.
For the user configuration part, some of these tools such as Advanced Installer can create new user accounts. However to define user rights assignment you might have to rely on a custom script using ntrights.exe from the Windows resource kit.
As of my knowledge there is no automated deployment tool available for WCF because its require lots of manual configuration.
But you can try Octopus for .NET applications
