Sometimes it could be useful switching on-the-fly the #sapui5 or #openui5 release of an existent deployed App.

This could be useful for testing purposes, console debugging or checking some issues related to a specific release for a specific UI5 object.

Multi version availability

We know that we have a multi version availability of sapui5 / openui5 and we can use a specific version thanks to the SAP CDN.

OpenUI5 Tumblr: http://openui5.tumblr.com/post/125924070522/use-a-specific-version-of-openui5-from-our-cdn

Moreover we can find all the available openui5 releases (both Stable and Preview) here: https://openui5.hana.ondemand.com/versionoverview.html

Using Telerik Fiddler in combination with the available SAP CDN multi version we can switch the release on-the-fly without deploying a new version just to change the <head>

What is Fiddler

Fiddler ( http://www.telerik.com/fiddler ) is a free web debugging proxy which logs all HTTP(s) traffic between your computer and the Internet.

We can use it to debug traffic from virtually any application that supports a proxy like Chrome, Safari, Firefox, IE or Mobile Devices

There are great resources on SCN about Fiddler (How to install it,how to configure it and so on..), follow the links:

http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/SAPMOB/How+to+Capture+Fiori+Client+Mobile+Device+Traffic+using+... by kevin.bates2 responds with the 1.32.0 sap-ui-core.js version.

The openui5 version from the console is now 1.32.0

We can use the same mechanism for other purposes, for example:

  • switching to another ODATA url
  • switching to a local json url endpoint

and so on...

Happy Web-Proxy debugging!
