SAPUI5 Messaging Dashboard

Project Overview

The SAPUI5 Messaging Dashboard gives end users a graphical overview of the health of their SAP PI message interfaces — without requiring access to the SAP PI system itself.

PI message statistics are grouped into cockpit sets. General sets are available to all users; personal sets are self-maintained by each user. A companion WebDynpro application (see the E2E Statistics Cockpit) allows users to create and manage their cockpit sets and drill into individual message details. The SAPUI5 application focuses purely on the dashboard overview — a lightweight status monitor designed to be left open on a screen.

Features

• Light-weight browser application using SAPUI5
• Dashboards of messaging statistics for personal and general cockpit sets
• Automatic data refresh with configurable interval and visible countdown
• Dashboard size personalisation (small / medium / large)
• Deployed directly on the SAP PI ABAP stack

Technical Implementation

The application is installed on the SAP PI ABAP stack using the Eclipse JUNO development environment with SAP UI5 plugins, deployed via the ABAP Team Provider.

SAP Gateway (add-on on SAP PI) exposes two OData entity sets used by the application:

• CockpitSets — the available cockpit sets for the authenticated user
• CockpitSetsStatistics — the statistical message data per cockpit set

The SAPUI5 OData model handles asynchronous data loading; browser developer tools show the three AJAX calls executed on each data refresh cycle.

Technologies Used

• SAPUI5 (Eclipse JUNO + SAP plugins)
• SAP Gateway (OData / REST)
• SAP PI ABAP stack
• ABAP OO (backend data services)
• HTML5 / JavaScript
