Fiori Launch Pad and Object Based Navigation (OBN)

Former Member

I was wondering if anyone knows how the Fiori Launch Pad works with Object Based Navigation (OBN)...

The scenario I am imagining is that I have a tile defined on the Fiori Launch Pad that opens a Web Dynpro ABAP Application - within that application there is a user action that triggers an OBN call. This is quite a common scenario particularly with POWLs.

In the Portal or NWBC these OBN calls are managed and resolved at runtime based on the user's role. Will this also work with the Fiori Launch Pad or must the Launch Pad be embedded within the Portal or NWBC for this scenario to work?

I have noticed that if you define a Web Dynpro ABAP application in the Fiori Launch Pad it by default wraps that app in the NWBC (HTML version) in a new window - I am guessing that maybe this is how it then handles OBN resolution (e.g. via NWBC).

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Simon

Customize OBN in PFCG role for FIORI according to  5.12.3 Defining an OBN Target - SAP NetWeaver Business Client - SAP Library

This document posted by doesn't fully answer my question above but it helps in that it explains how the Fiori Launch Pad has it's own implementation of Object Based Navigation called "Intent based Navigation"

I hope SAP has a solution to cater for OBN in "older" applications such as Web Dynpro ABAP POWLs. I can imagine that many customers will have a hybrid launch pad consisting of both Fiori/UI5 and Web Dynpro Applications for some time.
