In SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, Screen Personas capabilities are embedded as part of the UI Adaptation framework, enabling key users to simplify and tailor classic applications.
With the CE2602 release, Screen Personas continues to evolve, introducing powerful enhancements that improve usability, integration capabilities, and administrative simplicity. Let’s explore the key updates.
Show Message Toast in SAP GUI for HTML
CE2602 introduces support for toast messages in SAP GUI for HTML using the showMessageToast scripting API.
You can now display success or informational messages as lightweight, non-intrusive toast notifications that:
Automatically disappear after a few seconds
Remain visible if the user hovers over or taps on them
This feedback mechanism enhances user experience without interrupting ongoing workflows.
Example: session.utils.showMessageToast(“This is a toast message”);
Utilize Scripting APIs to Access OData V4 Services
One of the most impactful enhancements in CE2602 is the introduction of the GuiODataClient Scripting API object.
With GuiODataClient, you can:
Create custom requests to any active standard OData V4 services
Automatically handle CSRF tokens and authorizations
Ensure secure data retrieval and processing within the application lifecycle
This significantly expands integration possibilities, allowing Screen Personas scripts to interact directly with backend services in a structured and secure way.
To explore available list of APIs, visit : Products → SAP S/4HANA → APIs → OData V4 in the SAP Business Accelerator Hub.
Example:
BDT Mode Enabled by Default
BDT (Business Data Toolset) mode is now enabled by default, simplifying configuration and reducing administrative effort.
What this means for you:
You no longer need to maintain the ENABLE_BDT_MODE parameter in the Manage Flavors >>Customizing>> Settings before building flavors for BDT-based classic applications
For legacy flavors created without theENABLE_BDT_MODE setting , set the new parameter DISABLE_BDT_MODE via “Manage Flavors” app to avoid any potential runtime issues.
For more details, refer KBA 3705431.
These enhancements in CE2602 further strengthen Screen Personas as a powerful tool for modernizing and extending classic applications — combining usability improvements with deeper integration capabilities.
