How to make a Standard Fiori application offline

[kunju1991]

Hi Team,

We have a requirement to make a standard fiori application(e.g. count stock) offline using a platform(and not using indexedDB / sqllite). I did my research and found some ways as below:

1. using smp and offline odata: It involves coding at both frontend and backend side and amount of the code to be inserted depends on the complexity of the standard application involved.

2. Sap Mobile development kit: This platform is available only for android, also i could not find any example or tutorial where it is making a standard Fiori application offline.

Is there any other, Better way we can add offline capabilities to the above said FIORI applications?

Also If this can be done with minimal code infusion to the existing FIORI applications?

Thanks in advance.

Warm Regards,

Picking the first point:

In this blog post, I have described the steps to create an offline app based on the standard CRUD Fiori application template available in SAP Web IDE Full-Stack.

You can apply the same approach to other Fiori apps.

I would ask my colleague to provide more insights on point#1 making a standard Fiori app Offline.

Coming to your 2nd point,

2. Sap Mobile development kit: This platform is available only for android, also i could not find any example or tutorial where it is making a standard Fiori application offline.

well, it's totally not true. For your information, Mobile development kit (MDK) is a feature of SAP Cloud Platform Mobile Services which provides capabilities to build metadata driven application (with no/low code effort). This MDK lies on top of underlined SDKs like SAP Cloud Platform SDK for iOS to build iOS Native app (and also with latest announcement of SAP Cloud Platform SDK for Android, it would be possible to build metadata driven app for Android too - it's in roadmap). You might have heard of SAP Asset Manager application built on top of this MDK. This MDK is nothing to do standard Fiori app.

I hope it helps.
