The Command Palette tool in SAP Business Application Studio provides access to all the IDE functionality including shortcuts for the most common operations. You can open the Command Palette by pressing F1 or navigating to View > Find Command from the menu bar. This will open an input field at the top of the IDE allowing you to enter a command. You can also browse through the list of commands by using the arrow keys or typing a keyword. Some commands will lead you into a minimal text-based wizard, allowing you to enter additional parameters. You cannot add new commands to the Command Palette, as it is a built-in feature of the IDE. References: Command Palette | SAP Help Portal and SAP Business Application Studio – Product Walkthrough

To run your application with live data, you need to do the following steps:

• In the target run configuration to run with, configure the data source as “Live Data”. This will enable your application to consume external OData services from their original sources, instead of using mock data from the sample data folder1.
• In the target run configuration to run with, configure the destination of OData service properly. For each OData service, you must specify the target configuration that refers to the external OData service: BTP destination name and an optional path to the service endpoint2.

You do not need to delete any existing run configurations that do not have “Live Data” chosen as data source, as they can be useful for testing your application with different scenarios. You also do not need to rename the target run configuration to run with, to make sure it contains “Run with Live Data” text, as the name of the run configuration does not affect its functionality.

 To access the data in your application, you need to have the appropriate role collection assigned to your user. A role collection is a set of user-related authorizations that restrict access to resources and services based on defined user permissions. You can create a new role collection for your application in the SAP BTP subaccount cockpit, or use an existing one that matches your application’s requirements. Then, you need to assign the role collection to your user via the SAP BTP subaccount cockpit, so that you can access the data in your application. Redeploying the project or logging out and in again will not solve the issue, as the rolecollection assignment is independent of the deployment or the login process. References:

In a productive landscape, a user can create up to 10 dev spaces and have 2 of them running at the same time. A dev space is a pre-configured development environment in the cloud with the tools, capabilities, and resources needed for developing applications. A user can choose from different dev space types that suit different business scenarios and application types. A user can also add additional extensions to the dev space to enhance the functionality and usability of the development environment12
