Local Sandbox Environment for the SAP Fiori LaunchpadLocate this document in the navigation structure

The sandbox environment is a simplified SAP Fiori launchpad environment that allows you to test your applications and make sure that they can be embedded properly into the SAP Fiori launchpad.

With the local sandbox environment you can:

  • Ensure that your SAPUI5 Fiori app can run embedded in the SAP Fiori launchpad; that is, it must not define any script, stylesheet, or other dependencies in its HTML file, but only in its main SAPUI5 component. This main SAPUI5 component is defined in the sandbox configuration.

  • Use SAP Fiori launchpad services either implicitly (the environment does the job for you without any coding) or through API calls without front-end server configuration.

  • Test the unified shell services to ensure they work properly for your SAP Fiori apps as far as possible in a purely local environment (apart from application-specific OData services called).

The sandbox uses a local configuration file instead of services on the ABAP front-end server or any other platform running the SAP Fiori launchpad. This configuration file contains the configuration of SAP Fiori applications and their navigation targets. For information on the syntax of the local configuration file, see Local Configuration File for the Launchpad Sandbox.

The local sandbox environment for the SAP Fiori launchpad is provided as part of the SAPUI5 demo kit. You can use the sandbox in the following development environments:

  • SAP Web IDE
