Key message we could find in the source code:

1. after sap.ca.ui.utils.busydialog.requireBusyDialog() is called in application, we can only see the rotating wheel in UI after 1.5 seconds - defined in BUSYDIALOG_TIMEOUT.

2. the requireBusyDialog and releaseBusyDialog must be called in pair. There is private variable _iRequiredCount maintained inside the implementation. When require function is called, _iRequiredCount++; release for _iRequiredCount--.

3. it is obsolete. New application should use sap.m.BusyDialog instead.

Take the process to open Opportunity tile as example.

1. The bindAggregation in S2.controller.js will trigger the Odata request sent to backend:

request url:

And connectionManager is responsible to call requireBusyDialog:

iRequiredCount changed from 0 to 1:

2. OpportunityAttachment data is requested. ConnectionManager calls another requireBusyDialog, iRequiredCount changed from 1 tp 2:

3. in detail view, ETAG refresh operations makes iRequiredCount changed from 2 to 3:

4. At this time, the response of request in step1 has been returned to frontend, ConnectionManager calls releaseBusyDialog:

iRequiredCount changes from 3 to 2:

Since now iRequiredCount still > 0, the busyDialog will not be closed.

5. the response for request in step2 is returnd, iRequiredCount changes from 2 to 1:

6. the ETAG request sent in step3 has response now, iRequiredCount changes from 1 to 0:

now busy dialog is closed:

test1:

 

在header ETAG的implementation里加了一个10秒的时延：测试结果是直到header ETAG的response回来之后，busy dialog才消失。

test2：将timeout从默认的1500ms改成30000ms:

sap.ca.ui.utils.BUSYDIALOG_TIMEOUT = 30000;

第一个video timeout_1500.wmv: 虽然list和detail的数据都ready了，但是因为ETAG需要10s才能返回，整个UI被这个ETAG的request造成的busy dialog锁住了，直到10s后UI才能点击

第二个video是把默认的timeout从1500毫秒改成30秒，即busy dialog不会显示。从video里看出UI始终是可操作的，尽管后台的ETAG还没有回来。
