Requirement

The below approach explains the process of defining a custom Fiori for SAP BPC Embedded. The tile below shows the list of list of Open BPF activities against the user in SAP BPC Embedded on HANA 1610. The purpose of this development is to show the total activities assigned to user alongside the open activities. The aim of this development is to serve as the notification point of the assigned BPF (Business Process Flow) Activities to the business users via the Fiori tile.

Fiori allows the creation of static as well as dynamic app launcher tiles. A dynamic tile gets information from a data source (OData Service) and constantly queries the source at regular interval and keeps it updated.

The outcome of the solution should look like the following.

DDIC Structure

We should create a DDIC structure from SE11 transaction. This will help to define the OData Services in the next steps.

Gateway Service

We use gateway services builder (tcode: SEGW) for creating services that will make the data available via the OData services. SEGW is a design-time transaction, which provides developers with an easy-to-use set of tools for creating services. It has been conceived for the code-based OData Channel.

We will be leveraging gateway services functionality to query the number of open and total activities assigned to the user. The steps involved in this process is to do the following

Get Entity Method Implementation

You should redefine the GetEntity method to implement the code needed to determine the open and total activities. This method will hold the ABAP code which will determine and return the necessary data for populating the Dynamic App tile.
