SAP Fiori Elements Development with OData V4

Course Category : Administrative Development

An advanced programme for designing metadata-driven SAP Fiori Elements applications with OData V4, focusing on annotations, page patterns, extensibility, and maintainable enterprise application architecture.
Duration: 5 Days
Level: Advanced

Introduction

Metadata-driven development has become a central architectural approach for modern SAP user interfaces, enabling application behaviour and presentation to be derived systematically from service metadata, annotations, and established SAP Fiori patterns. This course focuses on developing SAP Fiori Elements applications based on OData V4 while examining the relationship between service models, annotations, navigation, page configuration, and application behaviour.

The programme addresses List Report and Object Page architectures, SAP Fiori tools, application configuration, the Flexible Programming Model, reusable building blocks, and controller extensions. SAP documentation identifies these capabilities as core mechanisms for extending OData V4-based Fiori Elements applications while retaining framework consistency and upgrade-oriented development principles..
