How to convert SAP WebDynpro Apps to FIORI apps with less efforts?

[bhaskar_india]

Dear Experts,

My client is having plenty of SAP ABAP Webdynpro apps and is looking for any tools (either standard or custom) to convert/migrate them into FIORI apps with less efforts. Because, manually developing custom FIORI apps by copying the code is obviously high-effort job.

Have you come across any standard or custom tools for this purpose?

Regards,

Bhaskar

Hi Bhaskar,

Depending on the SAP_UI release you are using, you can make some adjustments to better align with the SAP Fiori Design and Product Standards when working with Classic UIs, such as those based on FPM/WDA and SAP_UI 758 (ABAP Platform 2023). Here are a few suggestions:

1. Choose one of the modern SAP theme families: either sap_horizon* or sap_fiori_3*
2. Incorporate Header UIBBs in the floorplans (OVP, OIF, GAF), such as the Search UIBB and Attributes Filter UIBB, see here
3. Apply the Object Page Mode to the OVP floorplans (refer to this blog and SAP Help for more details)

You can check the outcome in one of the following test and demo applications:

1. FPM_SADL_CRUD_TEST_EPM_SO
2. FPM_SADL_CRUD_TEST_EPM_PD
3. FPM_SADL_CRUD_TEST_EPM_PD_CTLG
4. FPM_TEST_OVP_RESPONSIVE
5. FPM_TEST_FORM_REP_DYNAMIC_162
6. etc.

Best regards,

Simon
