About myself:
With 30 years experiences in Digital Transformation, 9 years with SAP SuccessFactors, SAP SuccessFactors Trainer, Coaching internal SuccessFactors Consultants and extending SAP with SAP Build.
Users of SAP Build are concerned about low code tools leading into a dead end street because of missing functionality. There is no dead end street in SAP Build because the functionality can be extended anytime with Javascript.
In the following the concept of using JavaScript in SAP Build will be introduced with a simple example of turning an input text into uppercase letters.
The user enters a text and by clicking the Button the user input text will be converted into Uppercase letters.
For the following Javascript example these elements are used in SAP Build:
Three main steps to take:
Detailed Step by Step Guide – Cheatsheets
2. The User Interface
Input Field where the User will enter text
Output Field where the Result Text in Uppercase is shown
Button to call the Javascript program
3. Logic Element Javascript is added to the Button Element in the Logic Pane
In this example the default javascript in the Javascript element is used. Replace the default javascript with your own javascript code.
Key concept of the connection is to ensure that the Javascript code is calling the inputs.input1 property in the inputs object on the left.
In case of more than one input use Add new property in the inputs object and address it in the Javascript code accordingly.
The same applies for the ouptputs object. More than one output property can be added.
The logic part is now complete. Only missing is now the ouput of the Javascript code.
Connect Set page variables element to the Javascript element and connect the result variable.
These are the detailed steps to include Javascript in SAP Build applications.
Below are some more examples of SAP Build functionality extensions with Javascript.
Use Case: Calculate only the Workdays (not Saturday and Sunday) in SAP Build with Javascript.
The javascript used is introduced in the video from 19 min : 30 seconds onwards.
Use this javascript:
curiosity-lab-source-code/chatbot.js at main · onnobos/curiosity-lab-source-code · GitHub
Use Case: Use a Chatbot in SAP Build. The Chatbot uses the following Huggin Face Machine Learning Model blenderbot-3B Javascript code
Use Case: Checking if the input value has a string or number. In case of a string the javascript code returns an error and in case of a number it returns if the number is odd or even.
Use Cases:
1. Check if the input of a number is a prime number and two outputs
2. Parse a CSV file and upload it into SAP Build
Use Case 1: Javascript is introduced from 35 min onwards
Use Case 2: Javascirpt is introduced from 44 min onwards

Summary:
SAP Activate Methodology is an on-site SAP activation method that supports project management teams in their privately managed cloud environments. SAP promotes it as an innovative adoption framework that accelerates the process of implementing digitized technologies and business processes through guided configuration, accelerator templates and documents. The locally activated SAP method supports the project management team in their private cloud environment and helps them develop and deploy new business applications and services.
The SAP Activate method is the first of its kind and thus represents a next-generation adaptation framework that can be used in all phases of the SAP lifecycle. The customer has access to accelerators such as examples and templates to facilitate the implementation of a project. In addition to exploring company-specific business scenarios and proposing the most relevant solutions, it also uses proven SAP procedures.
SAP Activate Methodology is the next step in the development of SAP Activate Technology, a new approach to project management. SAP’s on-site activation method supports project management teams in a privately managed cloud environment and supports them from the initial planning and implementation to the continuous improvement of the SAP solution.
SAP Activate Methodology is promoted by SAP as an innovative adoption framework that accelerates Sap Successfactors and S/4 Hana implementation by executing digitized technologies and business processes through a guided configuration of accelerator templates and documents. The SAP Activate method is the first of its kind and thus represents a next-generation adaptation framework that can be used in all phases of the SAP lifecycle.
SAP Activate leverages SAP’s best practices to explore company-specific business scenarios and propose the most relevant solutions.
Customers have access to accelerators such as examples and templates to facilitate the implementation of the project.
SAP has introduced an online information hub that offers SAP Activate, an easy-to-use solution for customers of SAP software and services.
In the first phase, discover the solutions and capabilities, define the adoption strategy, understand the business needs and requirements of the SAP SuccessFactors business process and determine their implementation.
When introducing a new system, it is important to have a plan from the outset to ensure that the project stays on track. In the preparatory phase, you will need to draw up a project charter, draw up plans and objectives, and pool the resources required for your project.
SAP Activate is based on the agile SCRUM framework. The Scaled Agile Framework is a framework that provides the necessary structure, governance and transparency for the development and implementation of agile projects. In the agile SCRUM framework, a number of tools are available, such as the SCRUM App Engine, which can help provide the necessary structures, governance, transparency, etc.
The Scaled Agile Framework includes a set of principles, processes and best practices that help large organizations develop agile methods such as lean and scrum more quickly and deliver high quality services and products. SAFe offers integrated approaches and principles that support entrepreneurial agility, as well as a simple and easy experience for software development teams. SAFE has always maintained the focus of the Scaled Agile Framework on build quality and behaves similarly to other agile methods such as lean and scrum.
When it comes to implementing complex products and projects that require complex design, design thinking, development, testing and implementation, teams that focus on implementation are reaching their limits. For this reason, many companies are looking for scaling methods that work effectively at the team level. Agile practices and a team of highly qualified and motivated employees who can apply agile practices such as design and thinking.
Safe is based on the conception, design thinking, development, testing and implementation of agile practices. But how do you know that the best fit for your business fits well with the agile approach of SAP ACITVATE and Scaled Agile Framework?
With the use of SAP ACITVATE, business users and functional experts can create automated business processes and streamlined automation at a significantly accelerated pace, enabling the benefits of an SAP application to be realized faster and at the same time increasing efficiency and quality.
Cloud First Mindset –The Five Golden Rules
Rule 1. Foster cloud principals
Rule 2. Usage of SAP Best Practices – how-to Fit-to-Standard
Rule 3. Cloud Like Integrations – white listed APs preferred
Rule 4. Cloud Like Extentions
Rule 5. Make your choices transparent
SAP Activate has 6 phases:
In the following link you can explore the SAP Active phases of the Successfactors implementation in an SAP Successfactors project. This also allows the team to define the architecture of the target technology and define the implementation strategy. The project team can also discover the capabilities of the SAP Successfactors solutions to better understand the challenges of implementing it in the context of a large, multi-tenant enterprise environment.
2. Prepare Phase:
In this phase, the tasks and responsibilities of the project team are also defined and the reporting and monitoring of project progress is completed. Project standards and governance within the organization are defined
3. Explore Phase:
Here, the business user and the SAP partner consulting company agree on the configurable objects required for the company. In this phase, business users explore standard business processes known as fit-for-standard, such as the hiring, and retirement shown in Successfactors. Sample data of the fictitious company is also available to enable the user to perform an end-to-end process to assess how closely the standard solution matches the business needs of the company.
Other important activities in this phase include the exchange of data templates with the business user in MS Excel so that he/she can start processing clean, correct and comprehensive master data to load them into the Successfactors system. In addition, a full fit-for-gap exercise will take place during the phase to fill gaps that cannot be provided by the standard and Successfactors. In such cases, the fit-for-gap strategy decides whether to add remedies for the identified gaps.
4. Realize Phase:
In this phase, the business scenarios and processes identified in the previous phase (discovery phase) are gradually developed, tested, validated and tested. Master data is loaded into the SuccessFactors system after it has been checked and confirmed to ensure accuracy and completeness. A special focus is on the people and process teams working on these tests.
Tailor-made developed objects are also tested during the implementation phase and end-user training is planned so that relevant end-users can be involved at the right time. Important business users are trained to become trainers.
5. Deploy Phase:
In this phase, the end-user training is conducted by a master trainer and the company switches from a legacy system HR Master Data System to SuccessFactors. Critical cutover activities include preparing the SuccessFacotrs production system for the final upload of master data, uploading cutovers of structural and employee , closing the gap between end users and business users during the implementation phase, and validating their knowledge of the new system.
Change management activities culminate in stakeholders focusing on ensuring that the transition to Successfactors is accepted and runs smoothly. Business users also play a crucial role in ensuring trouble-free system by completing the process of quickly and comprehensively solving pending problems. A dedicated IT and SAP helpdesk to solve such problems contributes significantly to the smooth functioning of Successfactors. During this phase, the Successfactors system will be stabilized to ensure that any problems, errors and input errors are corrected quickly.
6. Run Phase:
This is the litmus test that confirms the correct and reliable functioning of business processes
