Welcome to the CAP SFLIGHT App

This is a sample app for the travel reference scenario, built with the SAP Cloud Application Programming Model (CAP) and SAP Fiori Elements.

The purpose of this sample app is to:

• Demonstrate SAP Fiori annotations
• Demonstrate and compare SAP Fiori features on various stacks (CAP Node.js, CAP Java SDK, ABAP)
• Run UI test suites on various stacks

The app still contains some workarounds that are going to be addressed over time. In some cases, the model and the handlers can be improved or simplified once further planned CAP features become available. In other cases, the app itself could be improved. For example, calculation of the total price for a travel currently simply sums up the single prices ignoring the currencies.

SAP Fiori UI with Node.js Backend

Build and Run

1. In a console, execute npm ci in the root folder of your project.
2. In a console, execute cds watch in the root folder of your project.

Accessing the SAP Fiori App

Open this link in your browser: http://localhost:4004/travel_processor/webapp/index.html

Integration Tests

To start OPA tests, open this link in your browser: http://localhost:4004/travel_processor/webapp/test/integration/Opa.qunit.html

Test documentation is available at: https://ui5.sap.com/#/api/sap.fe.test

SAP Fiori UI with Java Backend

Build and Run

1. In a console, execute npm ci in the root folder of your project.
2. In a console, execute mvn spring-boot:run in the root folder of your project.
3. In another console, execute npm start in folder app\travel_processor of your project (this starts the middleware)

Note: If you access the CAP Java server directly without middleware, you will have to enter mock user credentials admin / admin which are maintained in file application.yml.

Deployment to SAP Business Technology Platform

The project contains a configuration for deploying the CAP services and the SAP Fiori app to the SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) using a managed application router. The app then becomes visible in the content manager of the SAP Launchpad service.

The configuration file mta.yaml is for the Node.js backend of the app. If you want to deploy the Java backend, copy mta-java.yaml to mta.yaml.

Prerequisites

SAP Business Technology Platform

• Create a trial account on SAP BTP. See this tutorial for more information. Alternatively, you can use a sub-account in a productive environment.
• Subscribe to the SAP Launchpad Service.
• Create an SAP HANA Cloud Service instance or use an existing one.

Local Machine

• Install the Cloud Foundry command line interface (CLI). See this tutorial for more details.

• Install the MultiApps CF CLI Plugin:

  cf add-plugin-repo CF-Community https://plugins.cloudfoundry.org
  cf install-plugin multiapps

• Install the Cloud MTA Build Tool globally:

  npm install -g mbt

Build the Project

Build the project from the command line:

mbt build

The build results will be stored in the directory mta_archives.

Deploy

1. Log in to the target space.
2. Deploy the MTA archive using the CF CLI: cf deploy mta_archives/capire.sflight_1.0.0.mtar

Assign Role Collection

Any authorized user has read access to the app. For further authorization, assign a role collection to your user in the SAP BTP Cockpit:

• sflight-reviewer-{spacename} for executing actions Accept Travel, Reject Travel, and Deduct Discount
• sflight-processor-{spacename} for full write access

Local Development with a HANA Cloud Instance

You need to have access to a HANA Cloud instance and SAP BTP.

1. Deploy the HDI content to a HANA HDI container (which is newly created on first call): cds deploy --to hana.
2. Start the application with the Spring Profile cloud.
   1. From Maven: mvn spring-boot:run -Dspring-boot.run.profiles=cloud
   2. From your IDE with the JVM argument -Dspring.profiles.active=cloud or env variable spring.profiles.active=cloud

The running application is now connected to its own HDI container/schema. Please keep in mind that the credentials for that HDI container are stored locally on your filesystem (default-env.json).
