List of Design Studio SDK Components

UPDATE – – – Start

I just got aware of a new Analytics Extension Directory from SAP. This directory stores all extensions for all analytic products.

Take a look at https://analytics-extensions.enter.sap/sap/aed/ui/ and give it a try.

Sadly the SCN Design Studio Community Components are not (yet) there, but they might be included in future. Until then dont forget to check out this site: SCN Design Studio 1.6 SDK Components (ver 3.0)

Saying that I will stop maintaining the collective list below.

Have fun using the extensions…

Dirk

UPDATE – – –  End

Hi all,

I would like to create a summary where all the Design Stuio SDK components are listed. This is my starting point… feel free to send me information to other components and I will add them to this list asap.

      Hi Dirk

      I'm new with building Applications with Design Studio 1.3. How can I work with SDK? What I have to know? Where can I learn how to work with it? What does it needs to develope custom objects? Is there a how to paper that explains step-by-step?

      Thank you very much.

      Kind regards,

      Hello Dirk,

      We at Bitech AG also developed "Multiuser Commenting Soultion" using the SDK for Design Studio. You can view the Solution on our Homepage.

      Here is the Direct Link: SAP BO Design Studio: Kommentierungslösung: Bitech AG Leverkusen

      The Addon would soon appear in Sap Store, it has already been certified by SAP.

      It would be great if you could consolidate the table.

      We are collectingly calling the Components as "DSX Components for SAP Design Studio" it would be great if you can add this to your Table.

      Hello Dirk,

      I am facing the issue with Data Cell displaying inconsistent scaling, Inconsistent UOM display & -ve numbers being concatenated as '-'2.5% with the Design studio SDK DataBinding Interface "ResultCellList" and CVOM library to format cell value

      I have used the SAP provided function formatValue(value, tuple) for cell formatting and it uses the below SAP CVOM library.
      sap.common.globalization.NumericFormatManager.setPVL(meta_data.locale);
      return sap.common.globalization.NumericFormatManager.format(value, strFormat);

      Design studio BIP version 1.3 SP01
      Design studio client Tool 1.3 (Version 13.0.3.201405141058)

      Have anybody faced this problem and is anyone aware of the CVOM library Standard Crosstab uses and it seem to work correctly for the same BEX query. Please advice.

      Thanks

      Hi Dirk,

      I'd like to make a suggestion regarding the naming convention for your SDK Component List.  To better reflect the intent of the components and the level of support provided, perhaps you could consider renaming the sections as Commercial Components (for vendor components, instead of "SDK Extension for sale") and Community Components (for open source components, instead of "SDK Extension for free")?

      For example, it's quite possible that 3rd-party vendors could also provide completely free "lite" versions of their components but these probably don't belong in the same category as "SDK Extension for free" since they would have a more formal support expectation and are not open source. 

      Also, now that Mike and Karol have established the SCN Design Studio SDK Development Community, the new naming might be more appropriate.

      Anyway, this is just a suggestion for your consideration.  Others may wish to comment as well.

      Regards,

      Mustafa.

The E Learning Course also uses Sample SDKs and Sample exercises. I was able to get the Sample SDKs, but I am still looking for Sample exercises to replicate what is taught in the E learning course, can you please help me with the same, where can I find those ?

      Hi Pankaj, Karol,

      the source files should be available from within the e-learning.

      When you open the e-learning you should have in the very top right corner a "Ressources" Link. When you click on that you should be able to download them.

      Does that work?

      Hi Dirk / Karol,

      Thanks a lot for your help. We followed the e-learning and its exercises. We faced an error while doing exercise 9 - Data Binding. After adding the necessary logic in the various SDK Files, we tried testing Data Binding in the Design Studio. After connecting to a Data Source, while trying to bind the result cell, we faced following error - "Unhandled event loop exception". See if you can help here. Let me know in case you need to see the entire error log.

      check in detail 4.3 Events.

      in many SCN components you can see examples, e.g.

      LogOff Event in JavaScript

      LogOff Event in Contribution XML

      is it possible to install just only one SDK component ouf of the package?

      Thanks

      Author's profile photo Martin Pankraz
      Martin Pankraz

      Hi Hans-Peter,

      In general packages deployed as Design Studio extensions are closed. To achieve what you want, for example with our SCN Design Studio SDK package, you would need to clone our GitHub repository and modify the build infrastructure to keep only the components you want and create a deployable out of it.

      If it is deadly important I would take the time to create it for you if it is a one time thing.

      Kind regards
