You have installed an APF-based application that was shipped by SAP. If you want to make changes to the application, you can do so using the APF Configuration Modeler. Proceed as follows:

1. In your SAP Fiori frontend server system, run transaction SE80.

2. In the Repository Browser, select BSP Application and enter the name of your Business Server Page (BSP) application.

3. In the folder structure, open Page Fragments config and double-click the analytical configuration file to open it.

4. Copy the entire content of the file and paste it into a text editor.

5. Save the text file using the file extension .json.

6. Go to Page Fragments i18n and double-click the .properties file for the required language.

7. Copy the entire content of the file and paste it into a text editor.

8. Save the text file using the file extension .properties.

9. Import the JSON file and the .properties text file into the APF Configuration Modeler app in one of the following ways:

   • If you use SAP Business Suite powered by SAP HANA, choose Import and specify the files you want to import.

     Note

     You can import the .properties file in any language. This allows you to switch the development language.

   • If you use SAP S/4HANA, choose Import Delivered Content and select the desired configuration from the value help.

     Note

     You can import the .properties file in the development language only.

10. Make the required changes in the APF Configuration Modeler as explained under APF Configuration Modeler and save the configuration.

    For example:

    • Change requests, for example, to replace the shipped data provisioning with your own one.
    • Create new categories for the analysis step gallery.
    • Reassign steps to other categories.
    • Create new analysis steps.
    • Add representation types to a step.
    • Change filter configurations.
    • Add or change navigation targets.
11. Ensure that the correct configuration has been specified in the tile definition. To do so, proceed as follows:

    • For SAP Business Suite powered by SAP HANA:

      If you launch your application from a Smart Business KPI tile, ensure that the correct configuration is selected in the Configure KPI Tiles app.

      If you launch your application from a Fiori app launcher tile, maintain the configuration ID as the value for parameter sap-apf-configuration-id.

    • For SAP S/4HANA:

      If you launch your application from a Smart Business KPI tile, ensure that the correct configuration is selected in the Create Tile app.

      If you launch your application from a Fiori app launcher tile, maintain the application ID and the configuration ID as the value for parameter sap-apf-configuration-id in the format application ID.configuration ID.

12. If you changed or created texts that must be translated into languages other than your development language, export the text pool into a .properties file and perform the file-based translation process.
