[CAP] Fiori Elements – Add section with PDFViewer

I have a CAP Service that provides a PDF file that I needed to display in a Fiori Elements frontend using the sap.m.PDFViewer. The viewer should be placed in a section on the object page after navigating from the ListReport main page.

My CAP Service has the following annotations to provide the PDF.

  entity pdfFiles : cuid, managed {
    content            : LargeBinary @stream @Core.MediaType: mediaType @Core.ContentDisposition.Filename: fileName @Core.ContentDisposition.Type: 'inline';
    mediaType          : String      @Core.IsMediaType: true;
    fileName           : String      @mandatory;
  }

Add a custom section to your view following this example: https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/test-resources/sap/fe/core/fpmExplorer/index.html#/customElements/customSectionContent
Two steps are necessary.

1. Add a new section via the manifest. The template path should match your app namespace.

        "ObjectPage": {
          "type": "Component",
          "id": "ObjectPage",
          "name": "sap.fe.templates.ObjectPage",
          "viewLevel": 1,
          "options": {
            "settings": {
              "editableHeaderContent": false,
              "entitySet": "pdfFiles",
             "content": {
                "body": {
                  "sections" : {
                    "myCustomSection": {
                      "template": "sap.fe.core.fpmExplorer.customSectionContent.CustomSection",
                      "title": "{i18n>pdfSection}",
                      "position": {
                        "placement": "After",
                        "anchor": "StandardSection"
                      }
                    }
                  }
                }
              }
            }
          }
        }

2. Add the section content by defining a new fragment in the file CustomSection.fragment.xml

<core:FragmentDefinition xmlns:core="sap.ui.core" xmlns="sap.m" xmlns:l="sap.ui.layout" xmlns:macro="sap.fe.macros">
	<ScrollContainer
		height="100%"
		width="100%"
		horizontal="true"
		vertical="true">
		<FlexBox direction="Column" renderType="Div" class="sapUiSmallMargin">
			<PDFViewer source="{content}" title="{fileName}" height="1200px">
				<layoutData>
					<FlexItemData growFactor="1" />
				</layoutData>
			</PDFViewer>
		</FlexBox>
	</ScrollContainer>
</core:FragmentDefinition>

On the ObjectPage you will now have a new section containing the PDFViewer.

[Cloud Identity Services] Assign SuccessFactors user to IAS group via transformation

Source System: SuccessFactors
Target System: Identity Authentication

To assign employees to specific IAS groups, that transformation for the target (in this case the IAS) must be adjusted.

When using ias.api.version 1

https://blogs.sap.com/2021/03/29/ias-integration-with-sap-successfactors-application-2-sync-users-using-identity-provisioning-serviceips/

            {
                "condition": "$.emails[0].value =~ /.*@abc.com.*/",
                "constant": "DEV_IDP1",
                "targetPath": "$.groups[0].value"
            },
            {
                "condition": "$.emails[0].value =~ /.*@def.com.*/",
                "constant": "DEV_AzureAD",
                "targetPath": "$.groups[1].value"
            },

When using ias.api.version 2

https://help.sap.com/docs/identity-provisioning/identity-provisioning/enabling-group-assignment

         {
            "condition":"($.emails EMPTY false)",
            "constant":[
               {
                  "id":"00f8ab94-a732-48fa-9169-e51f87b8dcd5"
               },
               {

               }
            ],
            "targetVariable":"assignGroup"
         }

Update 10.03.2026: If you want to use an SF field, that is currently not synced, it must be added on the source system sync. First on the Properties tab on sf.user.attributes and then it can be used in the transformation of the source system (in this case SF).

            {
                "sourcePath": "$.teamMembersSize",
                "targetPath": "$['urn:sap:cloud:scim:schemas:extension:sfsf:2.0:User']['teamMembersSize']"
            },

[CAP] CQL Expand Composition / Deep read

In the documentation they always use a star in string literals like this o => o.`*` to select all fields, but when running this it always failed. However, after some tests I found that this format works with brackets o => o.('*')

https://cap.cloud.sap/docs/guides/providing-services/#–-deep-read

entity myEntity: cuid, managed {
    field1          : String;
    comp            : Composition of one myComposition;
}
 
aspect myComposition: cuid, managed {
    myCompField: String;
}
        const result = await SELECT.from(myEntity)
            .columns(e => {
                e('*')
                e.comp(c => c.myCompField) //expand composition, but only select 'myCompField'
            })

Update 14.09.2023: is now fixed (#)

[CAP] CQL Deep Update

A Composition of one can be updated via the Parent Entity, like we would do it, when dealing with an Association to one.

entity myEntity: cuid, managed {
    field1          : String;
    comp            : Composition of one myComposition;
}

aspect myComposition: cuid, managed {
    myCompField: String;
}
            const { myEntity } = srv.entities
            const EntityComposition = srv.entities['myEntity.myComposition'] // composition

            srv.after('CREATE', EntityComposition , async (comp, req) => {
                await UPDATE(myEntity, comp.ID)
                    .set({
                      comp : [{ myCompField: 'test' }]
                    })
            })

A Composition of many must be updated via the actual Composition Entity.

entity myEntity: cuid, managed {
    field1          : String;
    comp            : Composition to many myComposition;
}

aspect myComposition: cuid, managed {
    myCompField: String;
}
    const EntityComposition = srv.entities['myEntity.myComposition'] // composition

    srv.after('CREATE', EntityComposition , async (comp, req) => {
        await UPDATE(EntityComposition, { up__ID: comp.up__ID, ID: comp.ID }).set({ myCompField: 'test' })
    })
