Hi,

I need to do some customizations to fiori application. I have referred few blogs for enhancing fiori application but it refers to usage of SAP Web IDE which requires additional licencing cost . Is there any way to customize standard fiori app without using SAP web IDE?

Regards,

Navya

Hi Navya,

strictly spoken, there aren't any tools (neither SAP WebIDE nor Eclipse) required to extend UI5 applications.

It's documented here:

https://openui5.hana.ondemand.com/#docs/guide/a264a9abf98d4caabbf9b027bc1005d8.html

And people have blogged about it:

http://scn.sap.com/community/developer-center/front-end/blog/2014/08/18/ui5-components-and-extensibi...

It's more manual work than doing it with tools and wizards, but perfectly possible. I'm not sure whether the Fiori environment adds any hurdles, though.

Regards

Andreas

Hi Navya,

As Sandip said Web IDE is the preferred solution.


Alternative is to have the SAPUI5 development plugin (SAP Development Tools for Eclipse) along with ABAP Repository Team Provider installed in your Eclipse (preferably Juno).

You can then execute program "/UI5/UI5_Repository_Load" onto your frontend / Gateway server and download the Fiori Application source code (WEB content folder).

Create new SAPUI5 project in Eclipse-> Import the WEB content folder-> Right click and create an extention-> Do the modifications -> Submit it using Team Share on your server

Hope this helps...

though web ide is the preferred solution, however you can still use Eclipse with the Fiori Toolkit plug added to enhance the fiori apps.

web ide does come with additional license ( there is a beta local version too) ...but for the moment, eclipse with the ui5 plug-ins will help you. I am currently using it without any problems so far, though it has been deprecated..

Hi Sandip,

As per  link only luna and Kepler version is supported. I tried installing fiori toolkit in Eclipse Luna but it gave me error as "

not complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
  Software being installed: SAP Fiori Toolkit 1.1.4 (com.sap.odata.dt.cons.toolkit.bloom.feature.feature.group 1.1.4)
  Missing requirement: SAP Fiori Toolkit 1.1.4 (com.sap.odata.dt.cons.toolkit.bloom.feature.feature.group 1.1.4) requires 'com.sap.odata.dt.framework.sap.feature.feature.group 1.1.0' but it could not be found
 

".

Should I use eclipse Juno version for enhancing fiori apps?

Navya

I am using kepler with out any problems so far, you can try that.

The error you get is some pre-req plug in is missin...first you may have to install the gateway odata feature plug-in..

go to help -> install new -> select Development tools for eclipse juno ( https://tools.hana.ondemand.com/juno)

select Gateway Productivity Accelator..you can select everything under it or only odata toolkit..

install it, restart and then try installing the fiori toolkit..
