How to connect sapui5 app with destination in CloudFoundry?

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have a question about the connection between UI5 app and destination in CF.

In Neo environment I just create a destination and write the description in neo-app file, but how can I connect the app to the destination in CF?

Thank you in advance.

Hello, Tatiana Rastorgueva. Could you check the post below, Please?

Destination Configuration

Unlike SAP Cloud Platform Neo, the Cloud Foundry environment does not offer a Destination API that application developers may use directly to connect to a resource over the web. But this limitation can be easily overcome through User-Provided Environment Variables and consuming them in your application.

This is how it works on the Cloud Foundry environment.

• In your SAP Cloud Platform Cockpit, access the application.
• Define a new “User-Defined Variable”. An example could be: key = “ServiceDestination”. Value = [{name: “ServiceDestination”, url: “https://hostname.domain.com”, username: “Username”, password: “LoginPassword”}].
• In your application, use this variable to call the respective service.
