[SuccessFactors] Check if IAS is activated for a tenant

Go to Upgrade Center, select Platform in the Filter By Dropdown. In the Optional Upgrades Column, search for:

Initiate the SAP Cloud Identity Services Identity Authentication Service Integration

If the entry exists, IAS is not yet set up. If it does not exist, the IAS configuration is probably already done.

[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.

[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 (#)
