Running the Resulting SAP Fiori App
To make sure that all parts of the application work correctly for the end user, we are now going to run the resulting application.
Prerequisites
For the corresponding OData service we assume that...
-
The consumption view is exposed as an OData service using the so-called auto exposure approach (@OData.publish: true).
More on this: Expose CDS View as an OData Service
-
Smart Templates as Fiori building blocks are used In the course of UI development.
More on this: Consume Business Data Using Fiori Smart Templates
Procedure
If you run the new app based on Fiori Smart Templates in the Fiori Launchpad, the resulting UI provides you with a list of sales orders, including all fields that you exposed for consumption.
