Fiori applications are shared through the enhancement of adaptation project

The writer has been  SAP  Chengdu Research Institute  CRM Fiori When the development team works , As a customer of a famous lamp manufacturer in Germany CRM Fiori Project dev angel.  At that time, the customer proposed several pairs  CRM Fiori Enhanced requirements for standard applications , Generally speaking, it is divided into front desk Fiori UI Interface enhancement ( For example, add new custom fields ) And the enhancement of background logic .

It was still in Fiori 1.0 Time , It has not been used directly on the browser S/4HANA Of Key User tool How to create new fields , Therefore, for the enhancement of the foreground interface , The solution I give customers is to use UI5 XML Reserved in the view Extension point, And the enhancement of background logic , Through UI5 JavaScript controller Medium extension hook as well as ABAP Backstage BAdI Realization .

I have had a very pleasant four month cooperation with my clients , Finally, the project goes online smoothly , I also received a thank-you letter from the German customer via email , The customer also sent all the enhancement codes they made for this project to me in compressed packages , hope SAP Can analyze these logic well , Assess whether some requirements are universal , Can we do it in the future SAP standard Fiori In the application , So that more customers can benefit . This German customer's professionalism and meticulous attitude in project implementation , It made a deep impression on me .

At that time, one of the actual needs of customers was , Create a new custom field , And enable this field in the end-to-end business process ( Support addition, deletion, modification and query ).  Although this requirement now seems more common , But five years ago Fiori 1.0 Time , It takes a lot of effort to realize , Because the front and back stages have to be enhanced .

I wrote the complete implementation steps of enhancement as a blog and posted them on SAP  In the community , Because there are many steps , A total of four articles were written before the introduction was clear .

lately  Jerry  stay  SAP WebIDE  I came across a new menu named Adaptation Project The menu item of , Provides another way to enhance without programming Fiori Ways to apply certain behaviors .

This new enhancement method is through Fiori Adaptation Project Accomplished , Introduce through a practical requirement .

We said SAP application , The most typical way to use it is to use the search interface as an entry , Click a record in the tabular control of the search results to enter the details page and start the operation .

For a variety of reasons , Not all table controls provide the ability to export data into excel Format function .

If the search results form is through SAP Fiori Elements Drawn by technology , Can be in WebIDE Use in Fiori Adaption Project take excel The export function is enabled .

stay WebIDE I'll build a new one Fiori Adaptation Project：

When we create an adaptation project , It's actually creating a new variant of an existing application (variant).

Application variants refer to the original application , But it contains independent change sets created in the adaptation project . Besides , An application is also defined for this variant ID, Need to be in Fiori Launchpad Register separately in .

Use  SAP UI5 Visual Editor  establish  variant.

Adaptation Project  The functions supported are ：

• Semantic changes can be made to the application ( for example , Hide fields according to specific conditions )

• Control properties and bindings can be changed ( For example, enable or disable Excel Export smart table )

• You can add custom XML Fragment to expand the view ( for example , Click the button to open the customization dialog )

• You can add custom business logic (JavaScript)( for example , Click the button to call odata service )

• Expand I18n Text ( For example, translate the labels of custom buttons )

• Mobile control / part ( for example , Place a custom field between the two standard fields of the object page )

Adaptation Project  Same as  Fiori Breakout  The difference between ：

• stay Fiori Elements In the application , Created for adding customizations to smart templates UI (XML) And business logic (JavaScript) Of  breakout.

• Breakout  Is part of the actual application . therefore , If the application development team creates a Fiori Element  Applications , And the customer hopes to pass  breakout  Add custom logic , Then this will be a modification .

• Breakout It is an extension of intelligent template , Is part of the original application , And adaptation project is the extension of application .

Next, you need to choose which one to enhance SAP Which one of the system Fiori application . If you want to enhance Fiori The application is located in On-Premises System , Pre configuration required SAP Cloud Connector and SAP On the cloud platform Destination, Otherwise, at this stage , stay SAP UI5 ABAP Repository The system will not be visible in the drop-down list of .

On-Premises After the system is determined , Find the system to be enhanced Fiori application , By entering the technology of the application ID To locate . Click on Next complete Fiori Adaptation Project Create wizard for , Here we give this project The name s4demo.

stay WebIDE In the mail project, choice SAPUI5 Visual Editor, Open the WYSIWYG view editor ,

The default is Preview Mode on , Click on the Edit Button to enter edit mode ：

In edit mode , Select the table control on the view , Ready to start modifying properties . We noticed the hint of this safe mode , The intention of introducing this mode is Android System and Windows The security mode of the operating system is similar .SAP UI5 Visual Editor In safe mode , Developers can only modify restricted properties for controls .

If you give, you will be rewarded , Although modifications are limited , However, modifications made in safe mode are upgrade safe , Coming soon S/4HANA After system upgrade , These changes are still preserved .

In order to enable the excel Export function , We have to turn off safe mode ：

And then put Use Export to Excel From the default false Set to true：

Save changes , Generate a file named changes Folder , It records the details of this attribute modification . This idea of saving attribute changes through a separate file , and SAP C4C Pass through Key User Tool perhaps Cloud Application Studio modify UI Generated after view Change Transaction It is used to record the modification details, which are consistent .

After modifying and saving , Open the app again , You can test this excel Export function .

After passing the local test , Adoption and deployment SAP standard Fiori Apply the same method , Put this Adaptation Project Deploy to the corresponding S/4HANA On the system .

Click on Show Details We can know which resources have been successfully deployed .

Tips for successful deployment ：Folder XXXX ( CUSTOMER_BASE) created in LRep.

This LRep namely Layed Repository,S/4HANA A tiered storage system . So-called Layed, Embodied in the concept of layering introduced by this storage system , namely Customer Layer,Partner Layer,SAP Layer etc. . Different operators —— Customer ,Partner and SAP Standard developers , These tiered storage resources have different read and write permissions .

stay S/4HANA In the system , Execution report /UIF/GET_FILES_4_NS, You can see from WebIDE Deploy to S/4HANA LRep These resources ：

Used in the first run Fiori Adaptation Project Enhanced Fiori When applied , Stored in LRep Customer Layer Of Fiori Adaptation Project Described in UI5 Apply modification information , Hui He Fiori Merge the resources of standard application , Generate what the last customer sees in the browser , have Export to Excel Button on the Fiori application .

I hope this article can help you understand Fiori There is a basic understanding of another enhancement method of application , Thank you for reading .
