[SAPUI5] Adding Lanes to a Process Flow

Manually adding Lanes to a Process Flow Control:

https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/#/api/sap.suite.ui.commons.ProcessFlow
https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/#/api/sap.suite.ui.commons.ProcessFlowLaneHeader
https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/#/entity/sap.suite.ui.commons.ProcessFlow/sample/sap.suite.ui.commons.sample.ProcessFlowUpdateLanes/code

In my case, there was no way to bind the model to the view, so I did the mapping for each ProcessFlowLaneHeader in the callback function after reading the oData entity.

view.xml

<flow:ProcessFlow id="process-flow"/>

controller.js

var oProcessFlow = this.getView().byId("process-flow")

var oRequestFilter = new sap.ui.model.Filter({
    path: "myId",
    operator: sap.ui.model.FilterOperator.EQ,
    value1: myId
})

this.getView().getModel().read("/WorkflowSet", {
    filters: [oFormularIdFilter],
    success: (oData, response) => {
        for (var i = 0; i < oData.results.length; i++) {
            var oLaneHeader = new ProcessFlowLaneHeader({
                laneId: oData.results[i].LaneId,
                iconSrc: oData.results[i].IconSrc,
                text: oData.results[i].Text,
                position: oData.results[i].Position,
                state: [{state: oData.results[i].State, value: "100"}]
            });
            oProcessFlow.addLane(oLaneHeader)
        }
    },
    error: oError => {
        sap.m.MessageToast.show("An error occured while reading entity /WorkflowSet.")
    }
});

[SuccessFactors] Process Trigger

In a Process Trigger, you can get a good overview of an employee who moved from REC, via ONB to EC.

Manage Data -> Search -> Process Trigger

This information can also be fetched via API.

API Entity: ONB2Process

### Process Trigger
GET {{$dotenv sf_api_url}}/odata/v2/ONB2Process('06B129C95FD3482B851018D37B697149')
Authorization: Basic {{$dotenv sf_api_auth_base64}}
Accept: application/json

### processTriggerNav, includes rcmCandidateId, rcmApplicationId, rcmJobReqId
GET {{$dotenv sf_api_url}}/odata/v2/ONB2Process('06B129C95FD3482B851018D37B697149')
?$expand=processTriggerNav
Authorization: Basic {{$dotenv sf_api_auth_base64}}

[Fiori Elements] Custom Column in a Table is not visible

I had a generated Fiori Elements App (done by using @sap/generator-fiori), containing a List, where I needed to add a custom column containing a Button. I found this well explained in the official documentation:

https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/#/topic/d525522c1bf54672ae4e02d66b38e60c

I followed the instructions exactly, but it didn’t work. When comparing my manifest.json again with the example, I noticed one minor difference. In my generated App, there was an extra items/ in front of the @com.sap.vocabularies.UI.v1.LineItem.

My generated App
The manifest.json sample

After removing items/ the custom column was suddenly visible. When I noticed the difference, I thought that would never be the reason. Luckily, I tested it after all. That really is a big problem with Fiori Elements. These are problems that can no longer be solved by debugging or similar.

Here some more helpful links, when challenging with a custom column:

[ABAP] SALV – Access column name

  TRY.
      cl_salv_table=>factory( IMPORTING r_salv_table = DATA(lo_alv)
                              CHANGING  t_table      = lt_output ).
    CATCH cx_salv_msg INTO DATA(lx_salv).
      WRITE: / lx_salv->get_text( ).
  ENDTRY.

  DATA(columns) = lo_alv->get_columns( ).
  DATA(lt_cols) = columns->get( ).

  LOOP AT lt_cols INTO DATA(ls_cols).
    DATA(lo_column) = ls_cols-r_column.
    CASE ls_cols-columnname.
      WHEN 'MANDT'
        lo_column->set_visible( abap_false ).
    ENDCASE.
  ENDLOOP.

[SuccessFactors] OData V2 – filter in (VSC Rest-API Client)

When filtering an OData V2 endpoint, you can simply list your values separated by a comma after the keyword in (option 2). Much shorter than having to repeat your filter statement all the time, like in option 1.

@user1=10010
@user2=10020

### Option 1: Filter userId using OR condition
GET {{$dotenv api_url}}/odata/v2/User?$filter=userId eq '{{user1}}' or userId eq '{{user2}}'
Authorization: Basic {{$dotenv api_auth}}
Accept: application/json

### Option 2: Filter userId using IN condition
GET {{$dotenv api_url}}/odata/v2/User?$filter=userId in '{{user1}}', '{{user2}}'
Authorization: Basic {{$dotenv api_auth}}
Accept: application/json
