Using Document Center service in an UI5 application in SCP

[Ajith_Nair]

Hi,
we came across a requirement to store documents while using a UI5 application over SCP. To use document center and its services while on UI5 application, the blogs and information on the same are limited. We do came across a blog to Integrate SAP Document Center with UI5 Application, but there's no blog for a complete walkthrough for storing documents in SCP.

To use the Document Center securely in an UI5 app you have to create a Java Proxy App that provides an API for your UI5 app.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your valuable reply. Below mentioned blog from sharadha.k really eased the way.

Seems like, SAP Document Service on the Neo environment is currently on a sunset path and by the end of 2019 will not be available for new purchases.

Hi Ajith,

Document Center is exposing CMIS[1] based APIs to work with it. You don't need to build proxy app for this. If you were using Document Service then you needed a proxy.

If you use the Document Center reuse UI it will internally call these CMIS apis and do the job for you.

If anything extra you need to do and want to communicate with Document Center directly then you can use these CMIS APIs.

Please let me know if you need any other information on Document Center.

Best Regards,

Saurav
