Providing Data to the NWBC Side Panel from SAPUI5

[Former Member]

I know you can provide data from Classic Dynpro and Web Dynpro ABAP applications to the NWBC Side Panel. But is it possible to do the same from a SAPUI5 application?

The documentation doesn't say it is: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw74/helpdata/en/d5/8e1446b89144cc9b5062ed7fea8896/content.htm?frameset=...

I am guessing there must be access to the NWBC from the content area via JavaScript? Does anyone have any insights?

Thanks,

Simon

Hi Simon,

Yes, you can! Samuli is completely right: NWBC uses EPCM (Portal) events.

Namespace: com.sap.lsapi.dataContext

We presented this at TechEd last year (CD268 "Side Panel and CHIPs - Behind the Scenes") for the consumption part.

There is even a client-side data context API available with User Interface Add-on 1.0 SPS 06 for SAP NetWeaver and SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SPS 05

Further information and data context test container provided with SAP note 1929662. I recommend to have a look at that to get some sample coding.

Personas uses EPCM to send data to the side panel, I don't see why SAPUI5 couldn't do the same.
