SAPUI5 - Implementing smart variant management

Question

I have implemented Smart table with TablePersonalisation & VariantManagement. I have deployed my application in ABAB repository & tested. When I save a new variant, It gets saved. But it is not retrieved.

XML

I have not coded anything for variant management in controller. Below is the screenshot of json data that is passed & saved in backend.

This is the error in console.

domain:8010/sap/bc/lrep/flex/data/tracking.Component not found.

Please suggest.

Where are you running the app? In order to use the personalization services in a launchpad, there is a setting to allow this. — user6177399
@SAPFioriCrew We run this app both in FLP & from ABAB repository(BSP link). Both causes same issue. How to enable flexibility service in ABAB or kindly provide the settings required to make this work. — Haritha Perumal
Here you can find the docu for the Cloud Launchpad (SAP Cloud Platform Portal -> Portal on the Neo Environment -> SAP Fiori Launchpad Sites -> Administrator Guide -> Launchpad Settings) Here for the ABAP Launchpad (SAP Help Portal->SAP Fiori Launchpad->Setting Up the Launchpad->Configuring the Launchpad) — user6177399
@SAPFioriCrew we have configured. But no luck. Still facing the same issue. Why it is trying to get tracking.component from /sap/bc/lrep/flex/data/. Is this created automatically? or we need to do some coding. — Haritha Perumal

I had the same problem, and to resolve the issue, I had to modify the routes in the neo-app.json as below. In my case, I have an ABAP backend system, and the way I understand it now, is that these routes can help identify where the persistance is done for the variants. Look at:

"path": "/sap/bc/lrep/changes", "path": "/sap/bc/lrep/variants", "path": "/sap/bc/lrep/flex/settings", "path": "/sap/bc/lrep/flex/data"

neo-app.json contents:
