How to add Custom ui5 app to ApplicationLaunchpad

[former_member548497]

Hi,

I am trying to add a custom app to Application Launchpad but I couldn't.

First I configured an activity for my ui5 application. Then I copied SAP_APP_LP_POD dashbord and I add my activity as a button. Now I can see my application tile on the launchpad but when I click it it gives error. I thought, it is about to activity configuration.

I tried 'UI Component' and 'External App' types but no one of them didn't work. You can see more detail about my error on the pictures.

I looked blogs and guides but I couldn't find an information about Application Launchpad.

Did anyone add a custom application to Application Launchpad ?

I would like to say I tried also index.html for external app.

*You need to look at the network tab of your developer tools to see what specific URLs OEE/UI5 are trying to hit and try adjusting your configured URL value until the URLs are correct. My guesses based on you screenshots is that you only need to provide the directory of your app in the URL config. So something like 'whatever/test/webapp'. You probably don't need the server address in the URL as well. Also it looks like it wants to find you app in the '/OEEDashboard/' directory so it may be that it is a requirement your app be located within that directory in the main OEE project. If that is the case after you move it my guess is that your url config might only have to be 'webapp' or 'test/webapp' depending on how you put it in the OEEDashboard directory.

Good luck. Please come back and let us know if you get it working.

Christian

Hi Christian

Thanks for your reply,

I think the same. It seems because of '/OEEDashboard/' directory . I couldn't find a way to deploy my app to this repository. I looked guides, oee book and some blogs but I can't find a deploying method.

From the error messages, it looks like there is a navigation flaw. I would recommend checking the links to locations of the objects you created in the test folder.

Upon further research, it looks like you need to create some custom Activities pointing the urls to your new content. Then use those activities in your code, Dashboard Configurations (with custom Dashboard) in the Buttons, and possibly other places as well. But it does require customization. If you have the OEE book by SAHA, et.al., please review the section regarding customizations. I am not an expert on these, so detailed questions probably require kevin.hunter3 or someone else who is more familiar with OEE to weigh in.

If you have access to the database, look into table named MPM_ACTIVITY to make sure the configuration is in place pointing towards your new Web objects in MII. The urls contained therein should be formatted like so:

//XMII/CM/<project>/<folder>/<object name>
