Creating a CSR CHIP

You create a CSR CHIP with catalog filter parameters in this example.

1. Maintain your CHIP XML.

   A CSR CHIP is defined in an XML file that must be valid against the following schema XSD:

   http://<server>:<port>/sap/public/bc/ui2/services/sap/ui2/srvc/chipdefinition.xsd

   In the CHIP XML file, you define parameters that determine in which catalogs your CHIP is to be displayed.

   The following example shows a CHIP XML file with the following catalog filter parameters:

   • Parameter /UI2/Tag with the value HCM

   • Parameter /UI2/BusinessObject with the value Employee

   In the CHIP XML, these parameters are optional. If you want a CHIP to be displayed in a specific catalog with filter parameters, you must define these parameters with the same values as in the catalog.

                     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <chip xmlns="http://schemas.sap.com/sapui2/services/Chip/1">
     <implementation>
       <sapui5>
         <viewName>sap.ui2.samples.employees.Main.view.js</viewName>
       </sapui5>
     </implementation>
     <appearance>
       <title>Employee List</title>
       <description>Description for Employee List</description>
     </appearance>
     <contracts>
       <consume id="configuration">
         <parameters>
           <parameter name="rows">5</parameter>
           <parameter name="fullRows">10</parameter>
           <parameter name="service">/sap/opu/odata/UI2/SAMPLE_EPM_EMPLOYEE_LIST/</parameter>
         </parameters>
       </consume>
       <consume id="fullscreen" />
       <consume id="navigation" />
       <consume id="refresh" />
       <consume id="url" />
     </contracts>
     <parameters>
       <parameter name="/UI2/Tag">HCM</parameter>
       <parameter name="/UI2/BusinessObject">Employee</parameter>
     </parameters>
   </chip>
                  

2. You save the XML code in a file, for example, mychip_chip.xml, and make sure that this file is stored in the ABAP back-end system.

You have created a CSR CHIP with catalog filter parameters. You can now register this CHIP in a catalog.
