Fiori Launch Page blank in SAPUI5 SP05

[PekkaKorsoff]

Hi,

I have the blank launchpage problem in SAP UI5 SP05, not after an upgrade but with a fresh installation. I have read through the blogs in the scn and applied note 1854180 according to LL10 (http://scn.sap.com/community/mobile/blog/2013/10/24/lessons-learned-sap-ui5-add-on-sp05-issue-with-t...) (but none of the prerequisite notes were installable) and have also upgraded the SAPUI5 to 1.14.2 with note  189698 according to http://scn.sap.com/thread/3433713.

We have installed the NW Gateway as the central hub and also all the SAPUI5 components are installed on the GW system. The backend is ECC 6.05.

I can see the following in the Chrome (Inspect element -> Network) for each of the tiles in the launch page:

And in catalog maintenance (http://sapdemo15.edelkey.net:8030/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/ui2/launchpage/admin/admin.html)

I get t an alert like this

Loading catalog page SRA002_HCM_TS_MAN failed

And if I try the add tiles to a new catalog:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'getRemoteCatalog' of undefined in http://sapdemo15.edelkey.net:8030/sap/public/bc/ui2/services/sap/ui2/srvc/page.js, line 130

Finally, in page administration I can see the catalogs, but if I try to add a chip to any page I get an error "Chip could not be added to your page, contact your system administrator if the problem persists. In the Chrome (Inspect elements -> Network) I can see

Looks to me like there is a problem with accessing the catalogs/chips, but is there any way to verify that they are available (some database table accessed by via SAPGUI?).

I have also invalidated the cache using /UI5/THEME_TOOL, but did not make any difference. Any ideas anyone?

Best regards,

Pekka

Hi,

Finally the launch page problem is solved. I got the following advice from SAP support:

the error given by the internal http-server of the abap-system has
status 35, and reason
HTTPIO_ERROR_CUSTOM_MYSAPSSO-Error message sending data.

Try to configure the SSO correctly: Add parameters to instance profile:
login/create_sso2_ticket 2
login/accept_sso2_ticket 1

After adding these two parameters to the instance profile, the launch page get the tiles nicely in!

Still have the problem with the catalog administration, but that is not so critical, at least for now.

Best regards,

Pekka

Hi again,

Now also the catalog administration problem is fixed, after the following actions from SAP Support:

It is a problem with the chip-xml.

So I have a look into database table /UI2/CHIP_CHDR following the

note 1942166.

The table was full of error messages.

I have run report /UI2/CHIP_SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE according to the note.

I had another look at the database table. The error messages have

gone.

Now please try againg to run the admin ui.

If the errors you have described still occurs run report

/UI2/CACHE_DELETE and try again.

Best regards,

Pekka
