Streamlining Development Processes – Overcoming Challenges in SAP Fiori and Infocube Management

Introduction

In the fast-paced world of enterprise software development, efficiency and precision are paramount. Our client– a giant Fortune 500 company aims to streamline the Infocube management process and optimize the SAP Fiori application with the LMTEQ team’s assistance. This case study explores a project faced with complexities in handling SAP Fiori and Infocube functionalities, shedding light on the challenges encountered and the innovative solutions implemented to overcome them.

The Objective

  • The primary technical objective of the project was to optimize SAP Fiori applications and refine Infocube management processes. Specifically, the team aimed to enhance the efficiency and performance of the Excel download functionality within Fiori, ensuring seamless integration with OData calls.

  • Additionally, the goal was to revamp the Infocube delete program by introducing new screens, validations, and delete logic while addressing configuration intricacies. The project aimed to achieve these technical enhancements with a focus on precision and adherence to best practices in SAP development.

Challenges and Pain Points

The project encountered intricate technical challenges, reflecting the complexity of the assigned tasks and the divergence in technical approaches among team members

Excel Download Functionality Enhancement

  • Complex Data Population Logic

    Implementing dynamic columns and intricate data population logic in the initial webdynpro application introduced technical intricacies that required meticulous attention.

  • Transition to OData Call

    The shift from the initial webdynpro approach to leveraging OData calls demanded a meticulous reevaluation of data handling and an overhaul of the existing data-intensive calculation logic.

Infocube Management System Refinement
