Create a decision support application using the SAP IoT extension for SAP Web IDE.

You will learn

  • How to create a Decision Support application in SAP Web IDE
QR code

Step 1: Enable SAP IoT extension in SAP Web IDE

  1. In SAP Web IDE, go to Preferences > Extensions, search for iot.

  2. Turn on this feature.

  3. Click Save.

Step 2: Add decision support application to MTA project

  1. Right click your MTA project and add a new HTML5 Module. We’ll reuse the MTA project created in the tutorial Setting up the SAP Fiori launchpad in Cloud Foundry to receive Notifications.

    Add new HTML5 module

  2. Choose IoT Decision Support Application from the Internet of Things category, click Next.

    Select IoT Decision Support application template

  3. Enter greenhousedecisionsupport as a Module Name.

  4. Enter Greenhouse Alert as Title.

  5. Enter Greenhouse High Temperature Alert as Description.

  6. Click Finish.

    Enter basic information

  7. The SAP IoT decision support module is added to the project. Now open any of the subfolders to examine the generated source files. You can also toggle the visibility of hidden files.

    New IoT Decision Support application is created

Step 3: Define semantic object and action

  1. Open the manifest.json file in the Descriptor Editor.

  2. Go to Navigation tab, enter GreenhouseDSApp as the value for Semantic Object

  3. Enter display as the value for Action.

  4. From the Web IDE toolbar, click Save in the File menu to save the changes.

    Enter semantic object and action in application manifest
Done

Step 4: Create sample quick create application (part 1)
View Full Instructions

In this step, we’ll create a sample service ticket quick create application which will be one of the configured option in the decision support application for the greenhouse demo scenario. Quick create application is a SAP Fiori application based on the SAP Fiori quick create element.

This sample quick create application uses mock data.

  1. Right click the project and create a new folder with the name ServiceTicketQC.

    Create new folder in project

  2. In the new folder ServiceTicketQC, create a new folder webapp.

  3. In the folder webapp, create two new folders named annotations and data.

    Folder structure shown

  4. In the folder webapp\annotations, create a new file annotations.xml with the following content:

  9. In the folder ServiceTicketQC, create the file Gruntfile.js with the following content: 
    module.exports = function (grunt) {
	"use strict";
	grunt.loadNpmTasks("@sap/grunt-sapui5-bestpractice-build");
	grunt.config.merge({
		compatVersion: "edge",
		deploy_mode: "html_repo"
	});
	grunt.registerTask("default", [
		"clean",
		"lint",
		"build"
	]);
	grunt.loadNpmTasks("@sap/grunt-sapui5-bestpractice-test");
	grunt.registerTask("unit_and_integration_tests", ["test"]);
	grunt.config.merge({
		coverage_threshold: {
			statements: 0,
			branches: 100,
			functions: 0,
			lines: 0
		}
	});
};

  10. In the folder ServiceTicketQC, create the file package.json with the following content:

    {
  "name": "ServiceTicketQC",
  "description": "",
  "devDependencies": {
    "@sap/grunt-sapui5-bestpractice-build": "1.3.65",
    "@sap/grunt-sapui5-bestpractice-test": "2.0.1"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "test": "grunt unit_and_integration_tests"
  }
}

  11. In the folder ServiceTicketQC, create the file xs-app.json with the following content:

    {
	"welcomeFile": "/index.html",
	"authenticationMethod": "route",
	"logout": {
		"logoutEndpoint": "/do/logout"
	},
	"routes": [
		{
			"source": "^/destination/([^/]+)/(.*)$",
			"target": "$2",
			"destination": "$1",
			"authenticationType": "xsuaa"
		},		
		{
			"source": "^(.*)$",
			"target": "$1",
			"service": "html5-apps-repo-rt",
			"authenticationType": "xsuaa"
		}
	]
}

  12. Please Save all the new files.

  1. Double-click the mta.yaml file to open it in Code Editor.

    Open mta.yaml file in code editor

  2. Add the following configuration as a required build-parameters of iot-ds_ui_deployer. Please use the Copy button to copy the formatted configuration and paste it in the specified location in the yaml file.

            - name: ServiceTicketQC
          artifacts:
            - './*'
          target-path: resources/ServiceTicketQC

  3. Add the following module in the file. Please use the Copy button to copy the formatted configuration and paste it in the specified location in the yaml file.

      - name: ServiceTicketQC
    type: html5
    path: ServiceTicketQC
    build-parameters:
      builder: grunt
      supported-platforms: []
      build-result: dist
    Add ServiceTicketQC module to mta.yaml

    Please use spaces and not tabs when applying indentations in the mta.yaml file.

  4. Since we are going to register the decision support and quick create applications with the SAP Fiori launchpad site in the next step, these modules have to be declared before the SAP Fiori launchpad site module (type: com.sap.portal.content) in the mta.yaml, otherwise, we’ll get an error when we try to deploy the project in a later step.

Step 6: Register UI components in SAP Fiori launchpad site
View Full Instructions

In order to run the decision support application, it needs to be registered with a SAP Fiori launchpad site. We’ll reuse the Fiori launchpad site created in the tutorial Setting up the Fiori launchpad in Cloud Foundry to receive notifications. We’ll also register the sample quick create application.

  1. Open CommonDataModel.json in Code Editor.

  2. Update the JSON key payload.catalogs.payload.viz with this value:

    "viz": [{
  "id": "greenhousedecisionsupport",
  "vizId": "GreenhouseDSApp-display"
}, {
  "id": "iot.ds.test.quickcreate.serviceticket",
  "vizId": "ServiceTicketQC-quickcreate"
}]
    Update CommonDataModel.json file

  3. Save the changes.

Step 7: Test application

Please continue with the next tutorial to test the application.

If you have commented out the references to UI Deployer in mta.yaml in Step 7 of Set up SAP Fiori launchpad in Cloud Foundry to receive Notifications, please revert those changes before continuing.
