How to enhance fiori apps without using SAP Web IDE

[former_member183915]

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
