Fiori app configuration in SAP Fiori Launchpad

 

Overview

  • After the SAP UI5 app has been deployed in the SAP Fiori (Front-End) server, various configurations must be made in order for the app to be accessible in SAP Fiori Launchpad. 
  • SAP Fiori launchpad is a shell that hosts SAP Fiori apps and provides features like navigation, personalization, embedded support, and application configuration to the apps. 
  • On mobile and desktop devices, SAP Fiori launchpad is the access point to SAP Fiori apps. 
  • We will learn how to configure any custom UI5 for SAP Fiori launchpad access in this blog. 
  • This blog is a child of the following parent blog:

 

Pre-requisites:

  • SAP Fiori Server (Front-end)
  • SAP Fiori Launchpad Url:
    • http://<host>:<port>/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/ui2/ushell/shells/abap/FioriLaunchpad.html
  • SAP Fiori Designer Url:
    • http://<host>:<port>/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/sap/arsrvc_upb_admn/main.html

Steps of Configuration:

A SAP-UI5 application is accessed in SAP-Fiori Launchpad using the components listed below:

[1] Create Semantic Object in SAP Fiori Server (Front-end) server

  • T-code:   /n/UI2/SEMOBJ
  • Steps:
    • Semantic object with which we link ‘Business Tile‘ and ‘Target Mapping‘ within ‘Business Catalog’
    • Go to t-code -> change -> click on ‘New Entries’ ->
    • enter the details like object name , description etc.
    • click on icon ‘save’ to save it.

[2] Create Launchpad Role in SAP Fiori Server (Front-end) server

  • T-code:   LPD_CUST
  • Notes:
    • To connect SAP UI5 Application with Tiles, we build Launchpad roles.
    • A single Launchpad role can have numerous SAP UI5 Application references, each of which is distinguished by an Alias name.
    • To link one SAP-UI5 application, the ‘Target Mapping' of Catalog configuration will refer to the Launchpad role and specified Alias combination.
    • Go to t-code -> click on button ‘New Launchpad’ ->
  • Steps:
  1. Create New Launchpad Application:
    • Go to tcode -> click on button ‘New Launchpad’ ->
    • Provide input as shown in below screen
    • Here put some namespace as ‘Z’, it is required while including this role to TR (Transport-Request)
    • Click ok icon -> Click ‘Yes’ in next window.
    • In Next window, click on ‘New Application’ to create new UI5 application link->
    • end.
  2. Create New Application which requires below details:
    • Link Text:
      • Title of Fiori App Launchpad Role
      • Note: In the latest SAP-Fiori Hana upgrade, this LPD content appears as the header title for each page when accessed via Fiori Launchpad.
    • Url
      • This entry refers to the SAPUI5 application path, which is located in the t-code ‘SICF' path after deployment.
    • Application Alias
      • Multiple UI5 application links can be added to a single Launchpad Role, each with its own alias.
      • One application link is identified by the Launchpad role name and its Alias name.
    • Additional Information
      • Here enter UI5 app’s component name defined in Component.js
      • Syntax: Component=<ui5 app component name>
      • For e.g. Component= ZTest_App01
      • Below ‘Component.js’ screen can be referred where component name is present
    • LPD Role’s application looks like as below after saving the details
    • Once saved we can see role in t-code ‘LPD_CUST’ as in below screen
    • end.
  3. Steps to include Launchpad role in TR:
    • For transporting it from one system to another, we can incorporate Launchpad roles in TRs.
    • Two transport requests (TR) are required as pre-requisites:
      1. One as customized request (CSR)
      2. One as workbench request (WBR)
    • Follow the procedures below to include the Launchpad role in your transport request.
      • open Launchpad Role from t-code ‘LD_CUST’ > go to Menu ‘Launchpad’-> click on ‘Transport
      • In next window enter Package details
      • In Next window provide Customizing Request
      • In Next window enter provide Workbench Request
      • Once done below screen appears
      • end.

[3] Create Business Catalog

  • SAP Fiori Designer Url:
    • http://<host>:<port>/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/sap/arsrvc_upb_admn/main.html
  • Steps:
  • Login to above ‘SAP Fiori Designer Url’
  • To add a Catalog, in ‘Catalog’ section click on plus ‘+’ icon
  • Enter Catalog Id and title in pop-up window
  • Now once catalog gets added, we can see it left panel, now next we need to add a ‘Tile’
  • Here we can add tile as of below types:
    • Static
    • Dynamic
    • New Tile
  • select “App Launcher – Static” Tile
  • Enter Title, Subtitle, Semantic Object, Action in Tile and save it.
  • Once Tile gets added it can be seen as below:
  • Now, click on the ‘Target Mapping' icon, then on the ‘Create Target Mapping' status bar button.’
  • Enter same Semantic Object name and action as of ‘Tile’
  • And save it.
  • As a result, ‘Semantic Object' + ‘Action' is used to connect Tile and ‘Target Mapping.'’
  • and ‘SAP UI5 application’ path is linked in ‘Target mapping’ via ‘Launchpad Role’
    • Catalog -> Tile -> ‘Target Mapping’  -> ‘Launchpad Role’ -> UI5 App

[4] Create Business Group

  • SAP Fiori Designer Url:
    • http://<host>:<port>/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/sap/arsrvc_upb_admn/main.html
  • Note:
    • A single or several Tiles from the same Catalog or various Catalogs can be included in a single ‘Business Group.'
    • In SAP Fiori Launchpad, we use this 'Business Group' to govern app/tile accessibility for users.
  • Steps:
  • Login to above ‘SAP Fiori Designer Url’
  • Create Business Group -> go to Group -> click on ‘+’ sign to add group
  • Enter Group details
  • Once Group get added, we can assign multiple tiles from different catalogs.
  • Here select our test catalog and add tile as below
  • Search/select test-catalog in the Catalog F4 help pop-up from the button.
  • When a catalogue is selected, all of the tiles in that catalogue become visible.
  • We must pick the ‘+' icon of Tile to add a catalogue, which then changes to the ‘ok' icon after the catalogue is added.
  • We can choose numerous ‘Tiles' from the same Catalog or from different Catalogs.
  • As a result, once a group has been given one tile, it will look like this.
  • end

 

[5] Create App’s PFCG Role in SAP Fiori Server (Front-end) server

  • T-code:   PFCG
  • Once the ‘Business Catalog' and ‘Business Group' have been formed, access to them must be granted to user-ids. To do so, we create a PFCG role specific to the UI5 application that can be assigned to user-ids.
  • One user-id will be assigned two PFCG Roles for customizable app accessibility in Fiori Launchpad page:
    1. There is just one PFCG Role for Fiori Launchpad accessibility, which provides access to the services listed below.
      • R3TR IWSG ZINTEROP_0001
      • R3TR IWSG ZPAGE_BUILDER_PERS_0001
      • R3TR IWSG ZTRANSPORT_0001
      • R3TR IWSV /UI2/INTEROP          0001
      • R3TR IWSV /UI2/LAUNCHPAD 0001
      • R3TR IWSV /UI2/PAGE_BUILDER_PERS 0001
      • Note: Post activation/registration of above standard services, they get renamed with ‘Z’ prefix
    2. For SAPUI5 Application, there is only one PFCG Role, which includes:
      • Business Group
      • Business Catalog
      • Odata Service accessibility
  • Steps:
  • [A] Create PFCG Role for Fiori Launchpad accessibility
    • To create PFCG roles go to t-code ‘PFCG’ -> Enter Role name -> click on button ‘Single Role’
    • Enter description
    • Go to Tab ‘Menu’ -> click on end point of button ‘Transaction’ -> select ‘Authorization Default’ ->
    • Below are the standard Fiori Launchpad services with the parameters shown in the screens:
      • R3TR IWSG ZINTEROP_0001
      • R3TR IWSG ZPAGE_BUILDER_PERS_0001
      • R3TR IWSG ZTRANSPORT_0001
      • R3TR IWSV /UI2/INTEROP 0001
      • R3TR IWSV /UI2/LAUNCHPAD 0001
      • R3TR IWSV /UI2/PAGE_BUILDER_PERS 0001
    • These are required for Fiori Launchpad to be accessible to any user.
    • Add R3TR IWSG
    • Add R3TR IWSV
    • Now add user in tab ‘USER’, to which app access is to be given for e.g. ‘DILIPP’ and perform user comparison
    • And generate authorization profile in tab ‘Authorization’
    • Once above activities gets completed our roles looks like as below:
  • [B] Create PFCG Role for SAPUI5 Application
    • To create PFCG roles go to t-code ‘PFCG’ -> Enter Role name -> click on button ‘Single Role’
    • Enter description
    • Go to Tab ‘Menu’ -> click on end point of button ‘Transaction’ -> select ‘SAP Fiori Tile Catalog’ ->
    • Adding ‘Business Catalog’ access: In Next pop-up select ‘Business Catalog’ which we have created
    • Adding ‘Business Group’ access:
    • Go to Tab ‘Menu’ -> click on end point of button ‘SAP Fiori Tile Catalog’ -> select ‘SAP Fiori Tile Group’
    • Because the last option was of a catalogue, the ‘Transaction' button has been replaced by ‘SAP Fiori Tile Catalog.'
    • Adding custom ‘Odata Service’ access:
    • If UI5 App is using Custom OData Service, then add R3TR IWSG & IWSV accessibility also
    • Go to Tab ‘Menu’ -> click on end point of button ‘SAP Fiori Tile Group’ -> select ‘Authorization Default’ ->
    • Now, in the tab ‘USER,' create a user for whom app access is to be granted, such as ‘DILIPP,' and compare users.
    • And generate authorization profile in tab ‘Authorization’
    • Once above activities gets completed our roles looks like as below:
  • [C] Role assignment to user-id
    • If one user-id ‘DILIPP' requires access to our test app, we must assign the PFCG role to this user-id.
    • In SAP-fFori server, Go to t-code ‘SU01’ -> Tab ‘roles’ -> add roles
    • We can now access the UI5 app tile by logging into SAP Fiori Launchpad with this user-id.
