Publish option missing in UI Theme Designer

[Remco]

Hi,

Recently we have installed the SAP Gateway (731) with UI-Addon (100 SP5) for Fiori.

But when I use the UI Theme Designer (/UI5/THEME_DESIGNER) the Publish option is missing. Does anybody have an idea how to solve this? How to get a theme published for usage with Fiori apps?

According to documentation and blogs it should be available there. Am I missing some installation settings?

Best regards, Remco

Hi Remco,

Did you find a solution for the problem. We are also facing the same issue.

Hi Rupesh,

I have not found any solution yet. We will now try to install SP 6 for the UI Add-on, hopefully that helps. I will let you know as soon as we have done that.

Have you done any change to the new theme? The publish option should become available once a actual change is done.

[Remco]

Yes, I have done several changes. I can save it as a draft, that works. But no publish.

Hi,

Could you please open a customer message. We cannot reproduce this behavior. Component: CA-UI5-TOL

Hi Uwe,

What a coincidence, I already did this last sunday November 17th. Message number is 1074363.

Hi,

Please let me know if you have any inputs on the issue that I posted in the comments section of this Document.

Hi Rupesh,

From SAP support, from Uwe, I got the following useful tip so far.

It looks like you build-up the URL by yourself instead using the URL generated by the /UI5/THEME_DESIGNER transaction.

Please use either the transaction or bookmark the following URL:

http://host:port/sap/bc/theming/theme-designer

This  will redirect automatically to the right URL adding some URL parameters that  the theme designer needs (sap-themeroot, sap-webdav-themeroot). There is a small flaw in the coding that it will not add the parameters if it is called with /index.html.

Using this tip I now indeed get the publish option but it remains greyed out (deactivated) because I have no theming options, the Quick and Expert tab are completely blank, no option to change colors or add a background picture. So I still have some problems to solve.

regards, Remco

What do you try to theme and how do load the content to the UI theme designer? Or are you using the prepared controller content (for SAPUI5 / NWBC)?

Do you get any error message?

[Remco]

Hi Margot,

I am trying to theme Fiori launchpage and apps, e.g. /sap/bc/ui5_ui5/ui2/launchpage/home.html.

What do you mean by "are you using the prepared controller content"?

In the browser I get lots of errors, see attachment.

Uwe gave me the following advice:

this looks like it cannot access the preview page. Can you

please check out the latest UI theme designer patch in note 1852401.

Note 1852401 says:

If you use the UI Theme Designer tool, you should always implement the latest SAP Note listed here.

SP04: SAP Note 1893358: UI Theme Designer - SP05/1

SP05: SAP Note 1893358: UI theme designer for ABAP: Version 1.1.4 (SP06 Patch 2) 

SP06: SAP Note 1946502: UI theme designer for ABAP: Version 1.1.4 (SP06 Patch 2)

Note 1893358 says:

This requires additionally SAPUI Patch 1.12.7 or higher.

Since my system is on level 1.12.5 I tried earlier to implement note 1892450 - SAPUI5 update to version 1.12.7:

With this note the SAPUI5 runtime will be upgraded to version 1.12.6 / 1.12.7

Prerequisite: SAPUI5 runtime version 1.12.5 is installed.

Unfortunately that is not gonna work, I have downloaded note 1892450 with SNOTE but then it has the status "Cannot be implemented".

So I am gonna try to upgrade the UI Add-on component to SP 6.

Can you verify that your MIME repository doesn't have any .BAK folders in /sap/public/bc/ui5/libraries/ver?

[Remco]

Hi Samuli,

I have no .BAK folders in the MIME repository folder you mentioned.

Best regards, Remco

[Remco]

I have upgraded the UI Addon components to SP 6.

Furthermore I have installed latest Theme Designer patch with note 1946502 - UI theme designer for ABAP: Version 1.1.4 (SP06 Patch 2) , as instructed in note 1852401 - UI Theme Designer for SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP (main SAP Note) .

But now the theme designer is not started anymore after logon. I notice following error messages in browser debugging console:

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of
404 (Not found) http://<host>:<port>/sap(Yz0wMDE=)/bc/theming/theme-desi…r/~cache-E875E76FC357E6285A2AF23B4D80C543CA...

Uncaught ReferenceError: sap is not defined

Does anybody know how this can be solved?

[Uwe_Klinger]

Hi Remco,

can you please check if the file is available in MIME Repository (SE80 -> MIME Repository) under the path /sap/public/bc/ui5/LIBRARIES/VER/1/com.sap.ui5.core/META-INF/resources/sap/sap-ui-core.js

Are you still using transaction /UI5/THEME_DESIGNER to start UI Theme Designer? Also make sure SAP note 1902156 is installed in your system, it should be included in SP6 of component UI_INFRA 100.

[Remco]

Hi Uwe,

I have checked it. The sap-ui-core.js file is available at that location.

Best regards, Remco

[Remco]

Yes, I am using transaction /UI5/THEME_DESIGNER to start UI Theme Designer. That doesn't help unfortunately.

[Remco]

Thanks to SAP support I have managed to solve the issue. They provided the following solution:

Please check the DB table /UI5/THEME_SETUP. There is an incorrect entry for SETUP_OPTION = UI5_ROOT, the path in a field SETUP_VALUE is incorrect. You can delete this entry and path to UI5 root directory is set by default, or you change this path to /sap/public/bc/ui5/libraries/ver/1(this path is actually default).

Please before you restart ThemeDesigner clear a browser cache.

Hi,

I am also not able to see the "save & publish" option in the UI theme designer (opened through this path, SAP Enterprise Portal> Content administration> portal display> UI theme designer) and I could see only save & build option.

We are using java stack (no client system available similar to ABAP stack to activate the theme either) and I have rebuilt the existing theme & made my customizations. Post which, I have "Save & built" successfully, but unable to publish my theme as default one.

Any suggestions pls?

Thanks,

Pooja.
