Version issue of Manifest.json with SAP Gateway System

[MKM]

Hi All,

My Gateway system has a lower version wrt SAP UI5. I don't have option to upgrade my gateway system at this point of time due to some constraints.

Is it possible to control my app from Component.js in stead of manifest.json ? Is the json content can be written in java script format ? So that my app wont have the dependency on Manifest.json version.

Thanks in advance,

Manoj

1.28 already support manifest

as long as you are not using advanced feature, you should be fine.

just run your app with 1.28, if it is not running. you know what it means:)

Hello Manoj,

Firstly please note that SAPUI5 1.28 is currently out of maintenance so it would be highly recommended to upgrade to a stable version which is under maintenance.

Check the Demo Kit regarding Versioning: https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/#/topic/91f021426f4d1014b6dd926db0e91070

You can review the following documents of the Demo Kit 'App Overview: The Basic Files of Your App': https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/#/topic/28b59ca857044a7890a22aec8cf1fee9

"Descriptor for Applications, Components, and Libraries":

https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/#/topic/be0cf40f61184b358b5faedaec98b2da

As you can see in the Demo Kit: "We recommend to define the component metadata externally in the descriptor (manifest.json), because the descriptor for components is mandatory for modern components and allows performance optimizations." https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/#/topic/27ce0e4987cd426f8fa3e60836316428

Hi Konstantia,

I totally agree with your point and aware of this thing also.

But at this point of time, it will take time for upgradation like i have said in my post due to some other project dependecny.

In the mean time, i can deliver the app using component.js. When upgrade will happen, i can restructure the design.

Thanks,

Manoj
