Test the Extended Incident Management Application with the Business Partner API

Since you already have a SQLite in-memory database that was automatically created in the previous step, let’s now fill it in with some test data.

1. Navigate to the Incident Management application project and create a new folder data in the srv/external folder.

2. In the data folder, create a new file API_BUSINESS_PARTNER-A_BusinessPartner.csv and add the following data to it:

   CSV Copy

   BusinessPartner;FirstName;LastName;BusinessPartnerName;BusinessPartnerIsBlocked;
   1004155;Daniel;Watts;Daniel Watts;false
   1004161;Stormy;Weathers;Stormy Weathers;false
   1004100;Sunny;Sunshine;Sunny Sunshine;true

3. In the data folder, create a new file API_BUSINESS_PARTNER-A_BusinessPartnerAddress.csv and add the following data to it:

   CSV Copy

   BusinessPartner;AddressID;
   1004155;123
   1004161;345
   1004100;456

4. In the data folder, create a new file API_BUSINESS_PARTNER-A_AddressEmailAddress.csv and add the following data to it:

   CSV Copy

   AddressID;EmailAddress;Person;OrdinalNumber
   123;test@demo.com;Williams;123
   345;testjohn@demo.com;Smith;222
   456;testhencry@demo.com;johnson;333

5. In the data folder, create a new file API_BUSINESS_PARTNER-A_AddressPhoneNumber.csv and add the following data to it:

   CSV Copy

   AddressID;PhoneNumber;Person;OrdinalNumber
   123;+44-555-123;Daniel;123
   345;+01-555-688;Stormy;222
   456;+01-555-789;Sunny;333

1. Install dependencies.

   Shell Copy

   npm i

2. Run the mock server locally.

   Shell Copy

   cds mock API_BUSINESS_PARTNER

3. In the terminal, you see the following output:

   CDS Copy

   [cds] - connect using bindings from: { registry: '~/.cds-services.json' }
   [cds] - connect to db > sqlite { url: ':memory:' }
      > init from db/data/sap.capire.incidents-Urgency.csv 
      > init from db/data/sap.capire.incidents-Status.csv 
      > init from db/data/sap.capire.incidents-Incidents.csv 
      > init from db/data/sap.capire.incidents-Customers.csv 
      > init from db/data/sap.capire.incidents-Conversations.csv 
      > init from srv/external/data/API_BUSINESS_PARTNER-A_BusinessPartnerAddress.csv 
      > init from srv/external/data/API_BUSINESS_PARTNER-A_BusinessPartner.csv 
      > init from srv/external/data/API_BUSINESS_PARTNER-A_AddressPhoneNumber.csv 
      > init from srv/external/data/API_BUSINESS_PARTNER-A_AddressEmailAddress.csv  

   If the API_BUSINESS_PARTNER doesn’t show up, remove the .cds-services.json file that resides in the user root folder, for example, /home/user/.cds-services.json.

4. Open a new terminal and run cds watch. This command starts the application connected to the running mock server.

5. Open a browser and open the server URL: http://localhost:4004.

6. Choose /launchpage.html under Web Applications.

   

   /launchpage.html uses a local launchpage, while /incidents/webapp/index.html uses the index.html from ui5 app.

7. Choose the Incident Management tile.

   

8. When you’re prompted to authenticate, use the following credentials:

   • Username: alice
   • Password: Empty / No Password

   

   You find the user settings in the .cdsrc.json file.

9. Choose Create to start creating a new incident.

   

10. Open the value help for the Customer field.

    

11. Verify that customer data is fetched from the mock server.

    

    To test the scenario, the value help for customers loads data from the mock server while creating a new incident.

By using a local mock server, you can easily test your implementation in a local environment. Find more details at Local Mocking in the CAP documentation.
