SAPUI5 Getting Started (SAP HANA)

This page contains basic knowledge on how to start with SAPUI5 development on SAP HANA development stack.

SAPUI5 Micro Service

SAPUI5 libraries can be used from the public SAPUI5 libraries.

Since SAP HANA 2.0 SPS 03 XS Advanced is capable of providing a micro service itself for local consumption.

A local micro service can be created either in XS Advanced Cockpit at

• HANAExpress -> development space -> Services -> Service Marketplace -> sapui5_sb

or via command line with:

xs create-service sapui5_sb sapui5-1.52 openSAPHANA_00-ui5

The service has to be added in:

1. mta.yaml -> Create new resource and add it to modules
2. xs-app.json -> Use replace capability of app router to insert UI5 service URL dynamically
3. index.html

Text Bundles

• Create base language file at ./web/resources/i18n/messagebundle.properties
• Create 2nd language file at ./web/resources/i18n/messagebundle_de.properties

Add code:

/* Language Resource Loader */
jQuery.sap.require("jquery.sap.resources");
var sLocale = sap.ui.getCore().getConfiguration().getLanguage();
var oBundle = jQuery.sap.resources({url: "./i18n/messagebundle.properties", locale: sLocale});

// create the button instance
var myButton = new sap.m.Button("btn");

// set properties, e.g. the text (there is also a shorter way of setting several properties)
// myButton.setText("Hello World!");
myButton.setText(oBundle.getText("helloworld"));
