SAP BTP Build Work Zone - Application Opening Error

2024-03-18T09:50:13.953000+01:00

Hello, when I deploy my BTP project, I can't view it on the Build Work Zone. It's showing as pending in the Build Work Zone. In the console, I see some errors. What could be the reason for this, and how can I resolve it? Below, I'm attaching a screenshot of the error I'm encountering in the Build Work Zone along, screenshots taken during the deployment process, and git repo.

Can we create email approval workflow through SAP Build WorkZone?

2024-03-19T07:51:04.997000+01:00

HI Team,

I have IBP as my planning system. For certain risk-buys, i need to trigger emails for approval from IBP (or Workzone) to C level executives so they can approve it. However, these approvers shouldn't have to get into the system for approving (neither IBP nor workzone. They should be able to approve or reject direct from the email that they receive.

SAP workflow allows you to do it. However, i wanted to check if any of you have done it through Workzone? Any other suggestions to achieve this would be appreciated as well.

Thanks for your time.

Issue with adaption project in BAS

2024-03-21T10:40:34.993000+01:00

Hello Experts,

We are having an issue with adaption project in BAS.

We are trying to extend a standard Fiori app called "Pack Outbound Deliveries" . When we open it from the launchpad , it works fine with the user default values. But when we try to open it in BAS, it keeps asking us to set up those user defaults again and again, which is not possible.

It is stuck on the first page itself , but we need to get to the second page to add some new elements using the layout editor.

Could you please help us with this query?

Invalidate SAPUI5 Client Cache

2024-03-28T18:26:04.292000+01:00

We developed a bundle of SAPUI5 applications deployed on cloud foundry runtime and published through SAP Build Work Zone Standard Edition launchpad.

Is there any way to tell the browser to invalidate the cache when a new version of the application has been deployed? The cache-buster mechanism does not seem to be applicable in this scenario.

Best regards.

Business Partner Creation Approval live Process: 422 Error when enriching data

2024-04-03T10:45:39.620000+02:00

Hi,

I am configuring the Business Partner creation approval live process flow in SAP build process automation. Currently I managed to configure the live process to a point where I receive the tasks in myinbox. The next step is to enrich the data of these business partners via the myinbox app. However, when I try to submit one of the filled in business partners, nothing happens.

It seems as if the submit button does not work, I do not get any feedback in the myinbox app.

When I open the developer tools in my browser, I see the following

errorThrown is not defined

When I take a look in the source code (developer tools -> sources) , the following is displayed:

Apparently errorThrown is not defined in the code. This is the result of an ajax request that fails.

If I look at the network details, I see two requests when pressing the submit button:

1) X-CSRF token fetch works correctly: 200

2) A PATCH request is quickly executed after the fetch x-csrf token request. This patch request returns 422 Unprocessable Entity.

This gives the following response:

The api that was called:

https://[ID].launchpad.cfapps.eu10.hana.ondemand.com/BPManagement.comsapbpmEnrich/bpmworkflowruntime/public/workf...

Status of the workflow instance: Running

My questions is: What is meant by invalid endpoint, is there a destination that was not configured correctly? If so, which destination? Or does the issue lay elsewhere?

Any help is appreciated!

More information about the live process can be found with on this link: https://api.sap.com/package/businesspartnercreationapprovalprocess/overview

Thank you,

Louis

How to develop Customer Creation Application in SAP using SAP Build Apps

2024-04-04T12:31:51.194000+02:00

Objective: -

Implementing SAP OData URI to SAP Build and Creating Customers in SAP BUILD which can replicate to SAP System

Business Scenario: -

How to create Customers using SAP Build Apps and OData Service.

Prerequisites: -

-> You Have an SAP BTP account or trial account.

-> Inside the BTP account, go to Instances and Subscriptions and create an instance of SAP Build Apps

-> Now go to Security -> Users Tab and assign Role to the user for SAP BUILD Apps

Now, we have to create the SAP Backend connection to SAP BTP : -

Before mapping data from S4H or our SAP System to Build Apps, we need to create a Destination in the BTP and give the required details of the S4H system with ODATA Uri too which we will consume (BTP->Connectivity->Destination )

Connection is now established to that service.

Now go to SAP Build Apps and navigate to Create to create a project.

Now click on Build an Application to create a Application

Now Click on Web & Mobile Application

Now Give the project name and Description and You are good to go.

Inside the app you are working on SAP Build App go to the Authentication section and implement authentication

Now create an App Variable that holds all fields that are present in our OData service.

Now create a page and install a template from the marketplace which is Basic List and implement your UI for Customer Creation and a home page where all customers are displayed.

Now go to the DATA Section then go to SAP Systems and connect to your s4h System and the service that you called from the destination from SAP BTP will be available to you now.

Now Click on this list go to ‘list resource’ fill in all the fields and configure authentication from Properties

Now Go to the Logic section of List and implement logic like this

Now click on the Create button go to Show logic for Button then implement this logic

Now create another page as shown below and build a form to create Customer Data using input fields.

Now do data binding to all fields by clicking on it and then assigning value to it

Now do a similar mapping for every field

Also, implement a condition to alert that an empty value is not allowed.

Now on the submit button implement logic that submit the data and updates the data to that OData service and thus will be reflected in the database table too

Preview Your Developments: -

Now when everything is done go to the Launch section then Preview your app.

By this, we can preview our application either on the web or can be previewed in Smartphones.

Our Application Now looks like-

When we click on the create button the second page appears

Fill out details and now our customer is created.

So now your customer is created in your database table which you can check by going to se11->KNA1

And you can see your entry got updated in table KNA1

Build Work Zone Single logout (SLO) for a multitenant application does not work

2024-04-08T16:18:55.448000+02:00

Hi everyone,

We have a multitenant application, with a launchpad-module, deployed on a provider subaccount. When subscribing from a consumer’s subaccount, launchpad-module is returned as a dependency, so the consumer can access the launchpad. Also, for the consumer subaccount we have an IAS using OpenID Connect protocol, through which we can access the launchpad.

Due to a necessity of having UI5 and React applications together, we have created an SAP Build WorkZone launchpad, on consumer’s subaccount. In this new launchpad, we have added UI5 applications from multitenant application (Wee see our multitenant application as Content-Provider in Content Channels tab) and a React application.

The React application calls API “/users-api” to get the current user data. This call is made through multitenant router.

So, when we login the Build WorkZone launchpad, it looks like Single-Sign-On (SSO) is working fine, because we are getting access not only to the launchpad, but to the multitenant UI5 app and its data too, meaning that SSO is propagating to multitenant router.

The problem arrives while doing logout. Build WorkZone launchpad throws Single Logout (SLO) from IAS, but it looks like logout is not propagated to multitenant router, so, when we login again (With a different user) and call the “/users-api” we are getting the data from the previous user.

Is our approach wrong? There is a way to extend or override Build Work Zone standard logout process?

Thanks in advance.

Adding my SAP Build Workzone app in another SAP Fiori Launchapd

2024-04-10T15:07:38.899000+02:00

Hi,

I created a Launchpad in Workzone where I added several apps (HTML5 apps that were coming from SAP Build Apps, that i deployed in the BTP)

However, I want to have these apps as well in another Launchpad, SAP Fiori Launchpad.

Do you know how should I proceed? thanks in advance

Authentication for e2e Test Automation on BTP with SAP CI/CD, wdi5 and BTP Build & Workzone

2024-04-11T16:11:30.780000+02:00

Dear fellow people interested in test automation on btp

I face the problem of authentication on SAP Build & Workzone service in order for being able to execute automated tests from our SAP CI/CD Pipeline. The reason of this is, that I don't know how to authenticate via SAP Universal ID automatically in a pipeline environment. But let's give you a broad overview first.

We are developing applications in CAP for the cloud foundry environment. Those applications are build, tested and deployed in pipelines in the SAP CI/CD service.
The html5 applications are collected and displayed in SAP Build & Workzone, so POs and Devs can do all necessary tests for new features.
In my opinion, it does make sense to also do the e2e tests over Build & Workzone, so that we have a single point for all testing. We do the e2e tests with webdriver.io and the wdi5 plugin, which does work super well on a local instance.

The problem is now, that I don't know how to automatically log in from the pipeline into build & workzone in order to have the proper permission to access the applications. I already tried to automate the login with SAP Universal ID. The problem is there, that after several logins a captcha appears, which is not solvable automatically (of course this is intended).

So what is the proper way to set up this kind of authentication ?
Is a private authentication provider necessary for this kind of setup ?
Is the setup just wrong and there is another, maybe more elegant way to do this ?

I am happy for any kind of input and suggestions. If something should be unclear please ask 🙂

cheers

Launching an application built with SAP Mobile Services directly through SAP Mobile Start

2024-04-12T12:15:39.533000+02:00

Hi all,

I created an application using SAP Mobile Services (and hence, a MDK project in SAP Business Application Studio), deployed it, and linked it to SAP Mobile Start through SAP Build Work Zone. However, when I try launching the app from SAP Mobile Start (which is this application:

)

I get redirected to the SAP Mobile Services Client application (this one:

which needs to be installed and correctly configured on my mobile phone, including the scanning of the Mobile Services application's QR Code:

This is very unconvenient since, in case I had two different Mobile Services application linked to SAP Mobile Start, that would perhaps mean that I'd need to scan a different QR Code every time I'd try accessing one app or the other. And even with one application, if I need to authenticate myself on two different SAP services for accessing a single app, this results in a very bad user experience.

Is there a way to launch a Mobile Services application directly inside SAP Mobile Start, and bypass the authentication on SAP Mobile Services Client?

Thanks in advance

Add React app to SAP Build Workzone

2024-04-24T11:30:37.187000+02:00

Hi everyone,

We have a multitenant application, deployed on a provider subaccount. Also, we have a consumer with SAP Build WorkZone, where we have added a new application using a URL. This URL is pointing to a React application (Deployed within mtx application).

The used URL, is the URL of our consumer + URI of react app. For instance, https://consumer*.cfapps.eu10-004.hana.ondemand.com/react_app/index.html.

So, in theroy, when accesing through the Build WorkZone site, we should be able to access the react app (With the proper authoritzation headers).

This is not working always fine. Sometimes, when WorkZone load index.html from the URL, we are getting the following error:

Funny thing is that if we open "Development Tools" on Chrome, and we try to access the app again, we see that WorkZone is calling the location URL.

Also works, if we access an UI5 application (Also part of mtx application) before, and then access the react application. Becasue WorkZone is doing the same as above image.

Any idea why this is happening? Thanks in advance.

How to transport Build Workzone Site to another subaccount via CTMS?

2024-04-25T08:49:58.376000+02:00

Hi All,

I want to transport SAP Build Workzone Site to my QA and Prod subaccount via CTMS. For example, in SAP Build Process Automation project, there is a button "Promote" available, which automatically adds the transport to the CTMS Queue/ transport nodes.
However, for Build Workzone there is no button/option available to directly transport/ promote the content to CTMS queue for import.

I could only find this blog for setting up the CTMS for Workzone site but it doesn't cover all the steps required for transporting the site.

App UI5 in workzone show loading screen never end

2024-05-10T05:08:39.844000+02:00

After we exposed role from backend system via tcode /UI2/CDM3_EXP_SCOPE to BTP trial, we can open app type GUI in site of SAP build workzone. But cannot open app UI5 or WDA

app UI5 show loading screen never end until it timeout and logout.

WDA encountered error 500 internal server

anw, all apps type can open normally when open directly from Fiori Launchpad if execute tcode /ui2/flp from backend system

We was tried to activated all odata and icf related in catalog of role, and updated latest UI5 patch version but still encounter error.

Do we need to do any step after exposed role ?

We was follow instruction here to integration backend system with sap build workzone: https://developers.sap.com/mission.launchpad-s4hana.html

SAP Workzone: Task Center: Server returned HTTP response code: 401 for URL...

2024-05-10T21:45:38.727000+02:00

Hi,

We are setting up Task center with Workzone standard edition for a POC. We've executed the dedicated booster, set up the destination for the S4HANA, private cloud backend, and enabled it for Task center.

However, we are getting the following error in the Task center admin. Also there's an error in the service status tab: Error is: Path not found in JSON: /certificates | Error Code 500.

Server returned HTTP response code: 401 for URL: http://xxxxxxx:43300/sap/opu/odata4/sap/api_task_spi_replication/default/sap/api_task_spi_replication/0001/taskDefinitions?$skip=0&$top=1000&languages=en-US%2Cde-DE&sap-client=110

Why does it say unauthorized? The backend user configured in the runtime destination has SAP_ALL, SAP_NEW and the destination is up and reachable. I've also verified that the OData service is active and can be queried outside Workzone with the same user as in the destination.

What could be the issue?

Regards,

Saurabh
