OData Exploration with EPM Tutorial - ES5

MH_K — Fri, 31 Jan 2025 05:51:14 GMT

Hi Team,

I am self-learning for OData Exploration with EPM Tutorial, I have logged in to "SAP Gateway Demo system via the Web GUI" successfully, then need to enter transaction SICF but on the Fiori screen the Command Window is NOT visible and I can't figure out how to make this visible. In the tutorial it says:

If necessary, use the arrow button to make the OK Code field appear, so you can enter transaction codes.

Any help,

Thanks

Not a good idea to have images as hyperlinks, people have to click each image individually and display them outside the question. Instead of uploading the image files, please embed the images inside your question (copy/paste).

e.g. this is an embedded image, pasted instead of uploaded, i.e. you can see it immediately:

Hi!

Seems you can skip this step because the odata-service EPM_REF_APPS_SHOP_SRV is available (because 'odata' ifc-service is active already).

Here are your screenshots with explanations where the tutorial goes wrong.

OData Training 1.jpg:

So, this screenshot is taken from the tutorial Continue Your OData Exploration with EPM | SAP Tutorials.

OData Training 2.jpg:

This is the step 1 of the tutorial. The screenshot you see is the "Web GUI" after logging in.

The hyperlink "Web GUI" = link to the other Tutorial Create an Account on the SAP Gateway Demo System | SAP Tutorials, where the step 5 corresponds to your screenshot #3:

OData Training 3.jpg:

After logging in, this screenshot above is where anybody lands, instead of seeing the expected Web GUI.

OData Training 4.jpg:

This screenshot is where you get if you click on the previous link "Fiori Launchpad". This page is "Fiori Launchpad", but the tutorial expects that you reach the Web GUI and that you type SICF in this screen that you don't get:

So, there's an issue in the step 1 of tutorial Continue Your OData Exploration with EPM, but this part of getting into Web GUI / SICF is not important, just skip it:

Hello MH_K,

your screenshot shows the Fiori Launchpad (URL /sap/bc/ui2/flp) and not the WEBGUI (URL /sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui). The login mask for the system of the tutorial (https://sapes5.sapdevcenter.com/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui) for me looks like this:

After logging in to the WEBGUI interface it should look something like this showing you the SAP Easy Access Menu screen:

From there the tutorials on how to show the OK code field from the other answers should take you to your goal.

Best regards

Simon

@simon_schmidt04 Please post it as an answer, not on mine which is unrelated to the OP question (hopefully, you have opened each of the links to understand the problem, what I didn't).
