Overview



  • Once SAP UI5 app has been deployed in SAP Fiori (Front-End) server, we need to do some configurations for accessibility of this app in SAP Fiori Launchpad.

  • SAP Fiori launchpad is a shell that hosts SAP Fiori apps, and provides the apps with services such as navigation, personalization, embedded support, and application configuration.

  • SAP Fiori launchpad is the entry point to SAP Fiori apps on mobile and desktop devices.

  • In this blog, we will com to know about steps to configure any custom UI5 for SAP Fiori launchpad access.

  • This blog is part of below parent blog:



 

Pre-requisites:




Steps of Configuration:


In SAP-Fiori Launchpad, a SAP-UI5 application get accessed using following flow of components:



[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:

    • We define Launchpad roles to link SAP UI5 Application with Tiles

    • One Launchpad role can have multiple SAP UI5 Application references each will be differentiated with help of Alias name.

    • Launchpad role and specific Alias combination will be referred in ‘Target Mapping’ of Catalog configuration to link one SAP-UI5 application.



    • 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 Launchpad Role for fiori App

      • Note: While accessing app from Fiori Launchpad, this LPD text get appears as header title for each page in new SAP-Fiori Hana upgrade



    • Url

      • This entry is to refer SAPUI5 application path which post-deployment resides in t-code ‘SICF’ path



    • Application Alias

      • One ;Launchpad Role' can have multiple UI5 application links, each should have unique alias

      • Launchpad role name with its Alias name identifies one application link



    • 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:

    • We can include Launchpad roles in TRs for trasnporting it from one system to another

    • Pre-requisites: Two transport request (TR) required:

      1. One as customized request (CSR)

      2. One as workbench request (WBR)



    • To Include Launchpad role in transport request, follow steps as below

      • 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:


  • 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 icon 'Target Mapping' -> click on status bar button 'Create Target Mapping'


  • Enter same Semantic Object name and action as of 'Tile'


  • And save it.


  • Thus Tile and 'Target Mapping' is linked using 'Semantic Object' + 'Action'

  • 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:


  • Note:

    • One 'Business Group' can have single or multiple Tile from same Catalog or multiple Catalog

    • With this 'Business Group', we control app/tile accessibility to users in SAP Fiori Launchpad



  • 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


  • Open Catalog F4 help pop-up from button and search/select test-catalog


  • Once catalog is selected, all tile of this catalog can be visibl

  • We have to add catalog by selecting ‘+’ icon of Tile, which gets changed to ‘ok’ icon post addition


  • Here we can select multiple 'Tile' from same Catalog or from multiple Catalog

  • Thus once group has one tile assigned, it appears as below


  • end


 

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

  • T-code:   PFCG

  • Once 'Business Catalog' and 'Business Group' gets created, their access needs to be provided to user-id, for same we create a PFCG role specific to UI5 application which can be assigned to  user-ids

  • For customized app’s accessibility in Fiori Launchpad page, one user-id will be assigned two PFCG Roles, which are:

    1. One PFCG Role for Fiori Launchpad accessibility, which includes below default services acces

      • 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. One PFCG Role for SAPUI5 Application, 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’ ->


    • Here we add below standard registered Fiori Launchpad services with parameters as shown in 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 accessibility of Fiori Launchpad 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’

    • Note: here ‘Transaction’ button get replaced by ‘SAP Fiori Tile Catalog’ because last selection was of 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 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:





  • [C] Role assignment to user-id

    • Suppose one user-id 'DILIPP' needs to access our test app, then we need to assign PFCG role to this user-id

    • In SAP-fFori server, Go to t-code 'SU01' -> Tab ‘roles’ -> add roles


    • Now login SAP Fiori Launchpad using this user-id, we get access of UI5 app tile.
