Catalog Pages

Using catalog pages, content administrators can assign CHIPs to a catalog by simply adding them to a page that is then used as a catalog.

In order to use a page as a catalog, you have to create items of type Catalog Provider in the role menu for the respective users in Role Maintenance (PFCG).

The catalogs that you have created in this way can be retrieved using the getAllCatalogs() method. You can call this method on any page instance (typically on a page that does not act as a catalog). This method returns an sap.ui2.srvc.AllCatalogs collection, which is initially a stub. You have to load this collection using the load() method before you can access the getCatalogs method to get the list of catalogs. Note that this methods only returns catalogs that have been created using catalog pages as described above.
