S/4HANA Cloud: Custom tile for Custom UI5 application with parameters

[Juwin]

Hello,

My question is regarding creating a Custom tile for a new Custom UI5 application created and deployed to S/4HANA Cloud. Tutorial related to this topic is here: https://developers.sap.com/tutorials/abap-custom-ui-generate-tile.html

Custom UI5 application needs a few parameters to be passed via URL. But, I couldn't find any documentation on how I can setup a Custom Tile for the UI5 application with parameters. Is it possible?

The closest option I could see is by using Custom Tiles, but that needs a full qualified url and not a relative path. Since the server name can change when transporting objects from Dev->QA->Prd, I can't hardcode a server name in the url path.

Thanks

Hello Juwin,

Custom tiles are intended to access external applications, for example an app you developed on your SAP Cloud Platform. They are not supposed to point the own system.

For custom UIs that are deployed to the S/4HANA Cloud system, there are two cases:

Key user extensibility - Custom Business Object (Customizing tenant - 3SL / Quality system - 2SL):

• Creating Custom Applications
• Creating a Custom SAP Fiori Application Using SAP Business Application Studio
• Launch Your App in SAP Fiori Launchpad

Developer extensibility - Custom business service (Development tenant - 3SL):

• SAP Fiori Applications in the ABAP Environment
• Develop an SAP Fiori Application UI and Deploy it to SAP S/4HANA Cloud Using SAP Business Applicatio...
• Add Your App to SAP Fiori Launchpad

For an overview on the supported scenarios for UI development in S/4HANA Cloud, please check 3327446 - UI Development in SAP Business Application Studio - S/4HANA Cloud

Thank you,

Even for Custom Fiori applications, there are sometimes need to pass URL parameters. For comparison sake, onPrem system allows to pass parameters, along with Semantic Object & Action. How do we acheive this in S/4HANA Public Cloud?

Hi @Juwin 

Were you able to create a tile with Parameters? I'm in the same situation, but in my case, I need to create a Tile to display some custom Application Logs.
