Main Entity ChangeApprovals

Service binding (live, reconciled 2026-09-16 - PRD V-2)

The app binds to the RAP UI service binding, not the A2X binding the worker uses. The single source of truth for the service identity is the live $metadata of the published binding, captured 2026-09-16 as docs/v2/zui_arena_change_appr_o4.metadata.xml (repo root). webapp/localService/mainService/metadata.xml is a byte-identical copy of it, so the mock server serves the real contract. Refresh both together; never hand-edit the copy.

Item	Value
Service binding (OData V4 - UI)	ZUI_ARENA_CHANGE_APPR_O4
Service definition	ZUI_ARENA_CHANGE_APPROVAL
Service URL	/sap/opu/odata4/sap/zui_arena_change_appr_o4/srvd/sap/zui_arena_change_approval/0001/
Schema namespace / alias	com.sap.gateway.srvd.zui_arena_change_approval.v0001 / SAP__self
Entity type / entity set	ChangeApprovalType / ChangeApproval
Bound actions	approve, reject(RejectReason), retrySync

Only the first URL segment comes from the service binding name. The schema namespace comes from the service definition name, and the entity type carries a Type suffix without an underscore (live $metadata, 2026-09-16; see KNOWLEDGE.md). The pre-V-2 assumption of a binding-derived namespace and a _Type suffix was wrong.

webapp/manifest.json (sap.app.dataSources.mainService.uri), ui5-mock.yaml / ui5-local.yaml (sap-fe-mockserver urlPath) and webapp/annotations/annotation.xml (edmx:Reference, every Annotations Target, every DataFieldForAction.Action) must stay in sync with it. JSON cannot carry comments, so the manifest references this note instead.

Annotation layering. The backend metadata extension already emits most UI annotations (LineItem, HeaderInfo, Facets, FieldGroups, Identification, SelectionFields, SemanticKey, Status text with TextOnly). An annotation in annotation.xml replaces the backend annotation with the same term + qualifier on the same target, and deleting it there makes the backend one effective again [source: fiori-mcp-server "Visualizing and Managing Annotations with SAP Fiori Tools - Service Modeler", verified 2026-09-16].

Backend for a non-mock run: not configured. ui5.yaml and ui5-local.yaml carry fiori-tools-proxy with backend: [], and npm start is a generator placeholder. When a live preview is added, the backend recorded for the client 080 track is the UI host https://my431353.s4hana.cloud.sap, never the -api host: a business-user call there is blocked by UCON (live 2026-09-16, KNOWLEDGE.md). That tenant — the starter system's development tenant — is parked as of 2026-09-29, so this binding is a reference point, not a live target; the working target is the starter system's customizing tenant my429480 (client 100).

Status model and actions

Status: PENDING -> APPROVED -> EXECUTING -> SYNCED | FAILED; REJECTED is terminal; FAILED -> retrySync -> APPROVED. approve/reject are enabled only for PENDING, retrySync only for FAILED. The backend owns enablement: RAP emits Core.OperationAvailable Path="_it/__OperationControl/<action>" for the ( features : instance ) actions (PRD RAP-1), and the app keeps no local OperationAvailable, which would replace it [source: fiori-mcp-server "Action Control for Context-Dependent Actions (SAP Fiori Elements)", verified 2026-09-16]. IsApprovable / IsRetriable are still in the service but hidden, and nothing in the app binds to them. Actions are offered on the object page header only; the list report table is display-only (selectionMode: "None").

Launchpad

sap.app.crossNavigation.inbounds declares the intent ArenaChangeApproval-manage; on deployment to the ABAP environment the launchpad app descriptor item (target mapping + tile) is generated from it, and an IAM app / business catalog / business role make it visible [source: sap-docs /btp-cloud-platform/30-development/sap-fiori-applications-in-the-abap-environment-1d9deef, verified 2026-09-14]. sap.fiori.registrationIds stays empty: it holds SAP Fiori IDs of SAP-delivered apps and is not required for a custom app (only archeType is mandatory) [source: sap-docs /sapui5/04_Essentials/manifest-descriptor-for-applications-components-and-libraries-be0cf40, verified 2026-09-14].

Dev server: npm run start-mock / npm run int-test bind to port 8082 (8080 is taken on the dev host). Mock data lives in webapp/localService/mainService/data/ChangeApproval.json (generateMockData: false), 8 rows covering every status. Each row carries every live property: StatusText / StatusCriticality as ZR_CHANGEAPPROVAL computes them, __OperationControl consistent with the status, LocalLastChangedAt, and SAP__Messages: []. Initial CHAR values are "", not null, on Nullable="false" properties. The mock server does not execute bound actions (see KNOWLEDGE.md), so status transitions show only against the live service.

app

An SAP Fiori application.

Starting the generated app

• This app has been generated using the SAP Fiori tools - App Generator, as part of the SAP Fiori tools suite. To launch the generated application, run the following from the generated application root folder:

    npm start

• It is also possible to run the application using mock data that reflects the OData Service URL supplied during application generation. In order to run the application with Mock Data, run the following from the generated app root folder:

    npm run start-mock

Pre-requisites:

1. Active NodeJS LTS (Long Term Support) version and associated supported NPM version. (See https://nodejs.org)
