sap.ushell.Container.getServices undefined while calling CrossApplicationNavigation

former_member752390 — Wed, 13 Apr 2022 08:28:16 GMT

I am facing issue in calling sap.ushell.Container.getServices("CrossApplicationNavigation") from a SAPUI5 application deployed in BTP Cloud Foundry and accessed through SAP BTP Launchpad service.

I understand, as it is being called from Fiori launchpad, all modules within sap.ushell library should work.

Error coming in Console is below

Current sap.ushell content is -

Expected sap.ushell content is -

Index.html -

this should work fine in the Launchpad service of BTP. We have apps running that use this without any problem.

How is your tile configured? It should not point to the index.html. You have to use the HTML5 content provider for adding the tile.

Hi anubhpan,

I think you are running application directly from SAP BTP HTML5 Application list, it does not contain sap.ushell.Container.

Create Launchpad service, Catalog and Group then assign the application then try. it will work.

Thank you

Hi Wouter,

Thanks for your response. Yes, the tile is pointing to index.html.

This Fiori app is having 2 modules. A UI modules which has multiple views and other utility js files. And a standalone approuter which has routers configured in its xs-app.json for various components of UI Module. A destination is maintained in BTP cockpit for approuter module.

In BTP launchpad service I have tiles configured pointing to index.html of UI module via approuter destination.

Is usage if index.html in tile configuration responsible for not showing all sap.ushell modules ? If yes, what is the workaround I can use to fix this. Changing the whole architecture of application usage may not be possible at this stage for me.

Regards,

Anubha

Hi Sathriyan,

Hi c3d1947136cd4c748a7aa794001af496 ,

What if we want to access the ushell of Launchpad if the App UI Technology is URL.

In my case i am trying to access the shellbar of the launchpad from a ui5 application deployed on CF bundled inside an approuter. so i am proving the url to my application in here there are multiple ui5 apps inside the approuter.

Thank you.
