Build and deploy a CAP Project Node.js API with a SAP Fiori Elements UI and a managed approuter configurationBuild and deploy a CAP Project Node.js API with a SAP Fiori Elements UI and a managed approuter configurationGeneration and deployment in one piece, with the managed approuter rather than a standalone one — so the routing is configuration instead of a module, and the post covers what that changes at deploy time.jlong, published 2022-02-10

CAP with Fiori Elements: Side Effects, Custom Actions, Dynamic ExpressionsCAP with Fiori Elements: Side Effects, Custom Actions, Dynamic ExpressionsThe first of the author's Fiori elements posts, and the widest: side effects, which are the annotation that tells the UI a field changed something else; custom actions; and dynamic expressions. The three that turn a generated app into a usable one.Ajit_K_Panda, published 2022-12-23

Case-insensitive filters in Fiori Elements (List report + CAP)Case-insensitive filters in Fiori Elements (List report + CAP)A blocker rather than a feature: filters on a List Report are case-sensitive, the business wanted them not to be, and the CAP backend is where it gets fixed. Node and Java both.Kishannaicker, published 2022-04-26
Create an SAP Fiori Elements UI for CAP Node.js applications in SAP Business Application StudioCreate an SAP Fiori Elements UI for CAP Node.js applications in SAP Business Application StudioWritten the week Fiori elements gained OData V4 support, which is what made a generated List Report over a CAP Node.js service possible at all. Short, and dated in the useful sense — it marks when the generator stopped being a V2-only path.liat_b, published 2021-01-11

Extend SAP SuccessFactors on SAP BTP with CAP - Develop the SAP Fiori Elements ApplicationExtend SAP SuccessFactors on SAP BTP with CAP - Develop the SAP Fiori Elements ApplicationThe UI instalment of the SuccessFactors extension series — the imported service is already modelled and this is the application over it.

Fiori Elements Standard App Extension using virtual Elements: Manage Billing Document ( Real Time Extension Scenario)Fiori Elements Standard App Extension using virtual Elements: Manage Billing Document ( Real Time Extension Scenario)Extending a delivered standard application — Manage Billing Documents — rather than building a new one, using virtual elements to add what the standard model does not carry. A different problem from most of this capability, and a common one.mohit_bansal3, published 2021-08-24

How to ensure that users can efficiently enter data in SAP Fiori elements applicationsHow to ensure that users can efficiently enter data in SAP Fiori elements applicationsGuidance for draft-enabled Fiori Elements applications aimed at the user who spends their day in them: entering data quickly and by keyboard, on a slow network, without the round trips a draft-backed form can otherwise impose. Written from the design side rather than the implementation side, which is the half most CAP writing about drafts leaves out.published 2022-12-05

Tips and Tricks for Working with Annotations in CAP Projects using Language Server Protocol (LSP) capabilitiesTips and Tricks for Working with Annotations in CAP Projects using Language Server Protocol (LSP) capabilitiesFour settings, from somebody who works on the annotation language server. The premise is the interesting part: CAP's annotation syntax is looser than ABAP CDS or EDMX — a record can be written with or without an explicit type — so the completion has to guess how verbose you want it, and this is where you tell it. Then filtering the completion list, reading the icons, ordering diagnostics by severity, and turning i18n problems on only when you want them.maryana_naboka, published 2021-10-25

Enable App-to-App Navigation in BASEnable App-to-App Navigation in BASTesting navigation between two Fiori applications inside Business Application Studio, which Web IDE Full-Stack made easy and BAS initially did not. Two paths: between Fiori elements applications it is a few clicks in Fiori tools with both apps in the same workspace, and for a freestyle application the same result takes a short sequence of manual steps. Written in 2021 against the Fiori tools of the time, so read the mechanism rather than the clicks.published 2021-05-24
Combine Power Automate, Microsoft Teams Approvals and an SAP Cloud Application Programming Model (CAP) AppCombine Power Automate, Microsoft Teams Approvals and an SAP Cloud Application Programming Model (CAP) AppWeighs how to give an approver in a bookshop-demo CAP app a screen to act on — S/4HANA's My Inbox via a custom task provider class, the not-yet-GA SAP Task Center, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Teams or plain mail — and settles on Teams approvals, wired to a Power Automate flow that calls the app's OAuth2-secured API through a custom connector. The setup worked, but every request runs as the one user who created the connection, since OAuth2 client credentials flow isn't yet supported for Power Automate's custom connectors.published 2021-04-29
