The SERKEM solution in detail

SAP Fiori Offline Application

Especially in logistics, there may be instances where a wireless internet connection is not always available, such as in corners or highly shielded areas within a warehouse. In these cases, using offline-enabled applications is particularly beneficial. These applications either load data into a buffer when there is an internet connection or simply allow data to be processed and later updated in SAP. With an SAP Fiori offline application, a (warehouse) employee can confidently carry out all necessary activities without a constant online connection, ensuring consistently enhanced performance.

Architecture of a SAP Fiori offline application

Fiori/UI5 concept

The concept of the Fiori application is not different to other applications. The MVC concept is used. The model has the used data to which the controller takes hold. The data is then displayed visually in the views. Furthermore, the files index.html (in which the executing application is started), components.js, manifest.json and the folder structure i18n (especially for multilingualism) are used by default.

IndexedDB

With the help of IndexedDB, data from the SAP Fiori app can be saved in a separate database within the browser. Meantime the data is located in the browser.

The data in the IndexedDB are thus offline available and are also available when there is no internet connection. In the example above, the data TANUM and VLPLA are now stored offline.

Once the processing of this data has been completed, it can either be uploaded back to the SAP system using an upload button (with an existing internet connection) or automatically when a new internet connection is available.

oDataService

The oDataService reads data from the SAP system. For this purpose special GET and SET methods are developed, whereby the data of the Fiori platform are made available.

SAP Gateway Service Builder

In the SAP Gateway Service Builder, the methods are assigned to the respective instances. SAP Gateway is included as standard in SAP NetWeaver version 7.5 and forms the basis for Fiori applications in the SAP ERP system.

The use of SAP Fiori offline applications can make sense in many areas, especially in logistics. If you are interested in an implementation or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
