[CAP] Select max with group by

https://answers.sap.com/questions/13081527/simple-count-aggregation-on-caps-cql.html?childToView=13079907&answerPublished=true

entity myEntity {
        key ID: Integer;
        key seqNr: Integer;
        key createdAt: DateTime;
        ...
    }

@readonly
entity myEntityMaxSeqNr 
        as select from myEntity {
            ID, 
            count(seqNr) as maxSeqNr: Integer
            createdAt,
            ...
            } 
        group by 
            ID,
            createdAt;

This can also be done using CQL like here.

[CAP] min and max functions

Since there is nothing in the official CAP documentation about min and max functions, I figured out the following syntax:

    const result1 = await cds.run(`SELECT *, MAX(seqNr) FROM ${myTable} LIMIT 1`) //returns array

    const result2 = await SELECT.one.from(myTable, [`MAX(seqNr)`]).columns('*') //returns object 

    const result3 = await SELECT.one.from(myTable).columns('MAX(seqNr)') //returns object containing only the max counter value

[CAP] Posting form data to a destination using executeHttpRequest

        const { executeHttpRequest } = require('@sap-cloud-sdk/http-client')
        const FormData = require('form-data')

        try {
            //Create payload
            const form = new FormData()
            form.append('file', fileContent, {
                contentType: 'application/pdf'
                filename: 'test.pdf'
            })

            //Create headers
            const headers = {
                ...form.getHeaders(),
                'Content-Length': form.getLengthSync(),
            }

            //Send to Destination
            const response = await executeHttpRequest(
                { destinationName: 'TESTINATION' },
                {
                    method: 'POST',
                    url: 'myApiPath',
                    headers: headers,
                    data: form,
                    responseType: 'arraybuffer' // if you need the response data as buffer to prevent UTF-8 encoding
                }
            )
            console.log({response})
        } catch (error) {
            console.error(error.message)
        }

[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.
