Use SAP Edge Services to Automate Creation of Work Order Based on IoT Data (part 1, configuration)

1. Log onto SAP Edge Services.

   

   After logon you will land on the main SAP Edge services screen.

2. Click the Edge Designer tile.

   

3. Click + to add a new project.

   

   A project is an aggregation of entities such as sensor models, rules, rule data sources, actions, connectors, and runtime settings where you can define and manage each entity and publish the project, which creates a configuration for the Streaming Service.

4. Enter the following details in the next screen, and click Create.

   Please note that throughout the tutorial you must replace XX with your own assigned number

   Field Name	Value
   Name	TrainingXX
   Description	TrainingXX
   Profile Delimiter	>>>

   

1. Click Data Model, and then press +.

   

   In SAP IoT services, we have already defined a sensor type Boiler, which you are going to use in this project. The Boiler sensor type has two capabilities: Temperature and Pressure

2. Select the following values from the dropdown, and then click Create:

   Field Name	Value
   Sensor Type	Boiler
   Capability Name	BoilerTraining
   Temperature	Check

   

3. Fidelity enables you to configure the SAP Edge Services to selectively send IoT data to cloud (or other target applications) or save at the edge in the configured time interval.

   To set fidelity, select your data model and click Fidelity.

   

   Set the Edge Fidelity and the Outbound Fidelity to Enabled, and enable IoT Service Cloud Connector.

   Click Save.

   

4. Click Validate at the top-right.

After a successful validation your screen should look like this:

Here you define an action that will trigger the creation of the work order. The action will be triggered by a streaming rule that will be created later.

1. Select Actions, and then click + to the right.

   

2. Enter the following values for your action, and then click Save.

   Field Name	Value
   Action Name	Create Work Order
   Description	Create Work Order in backend
   Action Type	Create Work Order from dropdown
   Device ID	${deviceId}
   Subject	${deviceId} : Temperature too high
   Remarks	${deviceId} : Temperature too high
   Main Work Center	RES-0100

   

Here you will define the rule that will trigger the action we created in the previous step.

1. Click Rules, and then click +.

   

2. Add the following values to the rule definition, and then click Create.

   Field Name	Value
   Name	Check Temperature
   Description	Check Temperature rule
   Send Edge Event	enabled

   

3. Select the rule by clicking its name.

   

4. Click Conditions.

   

5. Click + to add a condition.

   

6. Add the following values to the condition, and then click Create.

   Field Name	Value
   Name	temperature over 80
   Filter	Any
   Condition Type	Value monitoring
   Data Model Name	Boiler>>>BoilerTraining>>>Temperature
   Operator	>
   Threshold Value	80

   

7. Click Outputs, and then click + to define what should be triggered if this rule is true.

   

8. For Output Type, select Action, and then enter Create Work Order, and then click Create.

   

9. Click Enable on the top-right to enable the rule.

   

The gateway needs to connect to a central edge gateway (EBF service), which is configured to create the work order in S/4HANA.

1. Select your project from the navigation.

   

2. Click Runtime Settings, and then click the pencil icon.

   

   In runtime settings, enter the following values, and then click Save.

   Field Name	Value
   Enable EBF Configurations	On
   Host Name	https://3.123.194.136
   Port	8443
   Authentication (Base64)	RUJFRjpJbml0aWFs
   Validate Certificates	Unchecked

   The last 4 values will only be display if you Enable EBF Configurations.

   

Your screen should look like this now.

Go to Connectors and select HTTP Inbound Connector.

Use the pencil icon to change the values of the following configuration parameters:

In this step, you perform a final validation of the project, and then publish the project so it can be deployed to the gateways.

Click Validate on the top-right.

Publish it with a configuration name that you can later find, like Training-XX-V1.
