Analysis Tool for Fiori Applications

[michael_albrecht]

Dear community,

We created a little tool to check the configuration and the development design of Fiori/UI5 applications. It verifies if the most relevant application files are available and checks if the application related services are active. Finally it displays the collected result in a table.

 

How to get the tool?

Implement the SAP notes 2549968 and 2553469 or deploy the in the notes' stated software component. Please read the SAP notes carefully before implementing them since they imply manual activities.
Please implement also SAP note 2603238 to have the latest version of the tool.

 

How does it work?

Use transaction SE38 and execute report /SDF/FIORI_ANALYSIS. In the input form, you can set following three flags.

1. Check a single app: Only the application you entered in the input field will be shown. Please use the "Application Name" which is called "Technical Name" in the Fiori App Library.


2. Test also the application’s OData service.


3. Show the user IDs in the table fields “Last changed by” and “Created by”.

Then click on the RUN button to display the results:



 

Understanding the table

Only data which could be collected are shown. If some of the cells are empty just means that the data couldn't be retrieved. This is not an error.

Column Name	Description	Problem Resolution
State	Rating: Green - the app has been developed and configured correctly to be used on the Fiori Launchpad Yellow - the app has been developed correctly but is not yet configured for use Red – the app has not been developed correctly or is not active	Check in SE80 if the application contains a Component.js file which includes a metadata declaration. Moreover, the ICF service of the application should be active and an active OData service should be used.
Application Name	Technical name of the UI5 (Fiori) application
Transported	Application has been transported to another system
Development Class of Service	Name of the transport package
Software component	The service's software component if it can be read
SAP Release	Release number of the software component
Business Server Page Text	Application description
BSP ICF Service Active	Rating: Green - the app has been developed following the Fiori design guidelines and configured correctly to be used in the Fiori Launchpad Yellow - the app has been developed following the Fiori design guidelines but is not yet configured for use Red – the app has not been developed following the Fiori design guidelines or is not active	1. Activate the ICF service 2. The app name should not start with an "/" 3. The service should reside in directory /sap/bc/ui5_ui5/sap/
ID/Namespace	The app's ID or namespace read from the Component.js file
Current Application Version	App version read from the Component.js file
Last changed on	Date when the file has been changed the last time
Last changed by	User when the file has been changed the last time
Index.html	“X” if the file Index.html exists, empty if not.
Component.js	“X” if the file Component.js exists, empty if not.
Component-preload.js	“X” if the app includes the file Component-preload.js, empty if not.
Metadata	Rating: Green – metadata is declared in the manifest.json Yellow – metadata is declared in the Component.js Red – no metadata declaration	Declare the metadata in the manifest.json file
OData URL	URL of the application’s OData Service
OData ICF Service Active	Rating: Green – Odata Service is active Red – Odata Service is inactive n/a - ICF node of the OData service cannot be found	Register the OData service in transaction /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE
System Alias(es)	Assigned system alias(es)
HTTP Response Code	HTTP response code of the OData metadata call. The HTTP response codes are explained in this SAP blog.	Check if correct backend SW component is installed. Check the RFC connection, user authorizations, and ICF service activation
Min. UI5 Version	Displays the minimum SAPUI5 version specified in the manifest.json file. A developer can also refer to the installed SAPUI5 version. You will see then “${sap.ui5.dist.” in the cell
Used SAPUI5 Libraries	The field shows the SAPUI5 sub libraries used by the application.
# .js Files	Amount of Java Script files within the application which are not one of the following: Component-preload.js, Configuration.js, Component.js or Application.js
# .xml Files	Amount of XML files in the application
# .css Files	Amount of CSS files in the application
Initial Created On	Date when the file has been created.
Initial Created By	User who created the file

• The navigation buttons do not work in the input form. They will work when you upgrade to the necessary ST-PI SP level.
