HOW TO CONVERT AN APPLICATION FROM WEB DYNPRO ABAP TO SAP UI5

[former_member188794]

Hi Experts,

I am referring the below blog to convert an Web Dynpro ABAP Application to SAP UI5:

http://www.msc-mobile.com/blog/5-steps-how-to-convert-an-application-from-web-dynpro-to-sap-ui5

But the steps mentioned in this blog are not well explained.

Is there anyone who had tried to implement this? If yes, please share the material like steps you followed or any blog regarding it.

Thanks

there is no conversion, just redevelop

WebDynpro and UI5 are totally different languages. It's like converting something in English to German.

The steps int he blog describe the same:

1. Understand the functional modules or the logics used in web Dynpro. If possible reuse them by wrapping them into oData services.

2. Identify the screen design and recreate the screen in UI5

3. Perform the binding from function services to the screens.

It is similar to re-creating a new application but try to re-use some logic and design of the screen.

Hi Sharath,

Thanks for your response.

I made a WebDynpro component and know the logic used in it but according to this blog oData service is not required for binding.

I recreated the screen in UI5 but do not know the binding part.

According to the step 4 BSP application is required. Kindly explain the step 4 of blog if you can.

Basically can you tell me that where should I write the logic for it? Is there any standard function module present for this?

Thanks

Look up for content on creating UI5 applications. The blog is misleading as there is no way to convert a WD application into UI5.

Briefly, UI5 apps follow MVC. Logic in controller JS files, view in XML and model being oData services.
