In previous blog An example of End to End extension on CRM Fiori application – part1:

we have already enhanced the standard CRM OData Model, Opportunity, by adding a new field to store creator of a given opportunity and expose it via enhanced OData service implementation.

Aim of this blog

In this part we will consume this extension field “extCreatedBy” in Fiori UI.

It is only possible for you to put your extension fields to UI area where an ExtensionPoint exists, which is delivered by SAP.

Since I need to put the new field under the last field “Log of Changes”, below screenshot is original UI before we extend:

The screenshot below is what we expect to achieve after this blog:? the enhanced UI with extension field:

Solution

Find out its ExtensionPoint in xml view:

The idea here is you need to create a new view fragment, and put your extension field into this fragment, which is embedded into the standard opportunity view via ExtensionPoint.

The complete source code of extCreatedBy.fragment.xml:

<core:FragmentDefinition xmlns="sap.m" xmlns:core="sap.ui.core" xmlns:ui="sap.ui.layout">
   <ui:form.SimpleForm id="opportunityExtension">
        <ui:content>
         <Label id="opportunityCreatedByLbael" text="Created By">
         </Label>
         <Text id="opportunityCreatedByValue" text="{json>/extCreatedBy}"></Text>
        </ui:content>
        </ui:form.SimpleForm>
</core:FragmentDefinition>

Finally, specify the OData service url to your own OData service implemented via the step mentioned in previous blog:

The complete source code of frontend part could be found in github: https://github.com/i042416/testOpportunityExtension

commit id:

Last but not least, since now we have consumed the extension field in Fiori UI, not simply via gateway client in previous blog, so we need to ensure that the extension field could successfully be read out in all scenarios.

It means the following two methods should be redefined now ( for the first method /IWBEP/IF_MGW_APPL_SRV_RUNTIME~GET_ENTITY, it is already redefined in previous blog ).

source code are listed below:

  endmethod.

Signature of private method FILL_CREATED_BY:

methods FILL_CREATED_BY
    importing
      !IT_KEY_TAB type /IWBEP/T_MGW_NAME_VALUE_PAIR
      !IV_CALLED_BY_EXPAND type ABAP_BOOL
    changing
      !CR_ENTITY type ref to DATA .

In order to make FILL_CREATED_BY used by both read redefined method, I add a new importing parameter iv_called_by_expand to differentiate its used scenario, since for read and read_expand scenario, the exporting parameter’s structure are different. The fill_created_by should react accordingly.

Next step

In next blog I will introduce how to persist the extension field value maintained by end user in Fiori UI to backend database table, that is, to support the update operation on extension field.
