Exporting Fact Sheet Information to SAP JamLocate this document in the navigation structure

You export business object information for SAP Fiori fact sheets to be used in configuring SAP Jam.

Context

If you wish to share business objects from SAP Fiori fact sheets, you can use report RCBN_SMI_DATA_EXPORT (transaction CBN_SMI_EXPORT) to generate a JSON file containing information for fact sheets from the ABAP launchpad (basis for the SAP Fiori launchpad) such as the annotation and the external type. You can then use this file to simultaneously import the information for all business object types (external objects) into your external application in SAP Jam.
Note For information about limitations for exporting information for SAP Fiori fact sheets, see SAP Note 2103065 Information published on SAP site.

    2. Select the role applicable to your fact sheet.
    3. From the Change Launchpad Role screen, select your fact sheet.
