how the Fiori tile information is retrieved from HANA HCP

After I log on HCP via my own user, I could see many tiles:

 XSE的service是通过server side javascript实现的，这些javascript就是前一封邮件里在HANA studio里能找到的那些source code。和我们已经很熟悉的client side javascript相比，这些server side javascript在Chrome的F12里无法看到，也无法在client端debug，因为其是执行在server端的。

如果想要debug，需要用HCP 专门的workbench打开server端的实现，把debugger attach到client端的session上，然后trigger断点。这个debugger功能很弱，比如看不到callstack。一般情况下如果遇到HCP相关的incident，一旦能排除不是我们application的问题，我一般都直接FW到HCP的component让他们去看。
