If I create a new representation in APF modeler:
Execute the configuration in APF modeler, I could see the new representation:
But why will the changes affect the app in Fiori Launchpad Tile? If I go to the tile and run the app:
I could see the new representation too:
Usually I need to update the Fiori Project code manually and commit to project portal for review and central build, then update to BSP application.
I thought now APF modeler is automatically connected to the Fiori Project and trigger an automatic upload, but it’s not.
To my understanding, the tile is using the Semantic Object/Actions to link to a certain Target Mapping, and Target Mapping is linked to a certain BSP application, only when BSP app is updated, the tile will be updated too.
The reason for this phenomenon is because of this:
There’s now a APF drill down option in the Smart Business Tile configuration, could also select a specific APF configuration;
but why is drill down has such a effect?
No, I double checked, the reason is not simply because of this. I checked my tile, I’m using the old tile, not the new one Sean created, the old one didn’t have this configuration.
對比了一下讀取Representation時的請求和新增Representation時的請求：
在Tile App中讀取的時候
在APF Modeler中新增Representation儲存的時候：
URL是一樣的，是否可以認為是讀取了同一個背景檔案？但是去背景上怎麼找這個檔案呢？在SICF中查不到這個Service:
APF的configuration都是以檔案的形式存在LREP裡的，這個LREP是一個repository，裡面的内容實際還是存在database table裡的。
你在UXT/928裡執行這個report ZLREP_READ試試。
APF在runtime的時候分為了vendor layer和customer layer. 在runtime的時候，如果使用者在smart business tile的設定中設定了Configuration，或者在Target Mapping中配置了Configuration ID，APF在runtime的時候都會在vendor layer直接去APF modeler中讀取app，不通過BSP application去取，在Tile中也一樣。
這是為了友善在開發系統上進行測試，也是友善客戶通過在APF modeler中import程式之後進行修改。隻有在程式deploy的時候，是通過自定義的Semantic Object/Action去擷取的BSP application。
也就是說在smart business tile中如果作的是如下設定：
沒有在Drill Down中選擇APF，但是隻要在target mapping中設定了Configuration ID，那麼APF runtime的時候都會去讀APF modeler中的設定。
但是很奇怪的是這和UXT重開之前的behavior是不一樣的，我很确定在之前我在target mapping中也設定了configuration ID，但是smart business tile是去取的BSP的application。
是以針對這一點，我會去Target Mapping中删除掉configuration ID，然後試試Tile是不是可以直接去取BSP app。原因在target mapping的設定裡，隻要target mapping裡設定了configuration id，那麼最終就會直接根據config id去lrep拿而忽略bsp的。換言之，在SSB裡tile裡的設定config其實是沒有用的。
