SAP Enterprise Portal: SAP Fiori Launchpad on Portal and Fiori1 Apps Enablement
This blog is for portal content administrators who would like to learn about the administration tasks required for enabling SAP Fiori Wave1 apps on Portal with already running SAP Fiori Launchpad experience (FLP on EP).
In only a few steps you can easily run the SAP Fiori Wave 1 apps within the SAP NetWeaver portal environment.
Portal users can control Fiori Wave 1 apps on FLP on EP in the same way as the rest of applications already configured on FLP.
Prerequisites:
2) Enable SAP Fiori Launchpad on Portal, for instance like this:
3) Fiori Wave1 apps implemented in customer’s landscape.
1) (Optional) Create a Fiori1 role and a folder for Fiori1 apps in Portal content and add this role to an existing FLP on EP role.
In the example below:
- FFP_Demo is an FLP on EP role
- Fiori1_apps is a role for Fiori1 apps with a folder below (folder should be marked as visible)
2) Define a backend system for Fiori1 apps (Fiori gateway system in case of a separate one)
3) Create an iView and assign it to a relevant role:
a) Navigate to Portal Applications -> com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap -> UI5:
b) Copy UI5 template and “Paste as PCD Object” to any location under Portal Content:
c) Add the created iView to the relevant role
d) Set the following view properties and save:
| Property Name | Property Value (example) |
|---|---|
| Relative Path for SAPUI5 Applications | sap/bc/bsp/sap/ui5_hcm_ts_man/index.html |
| System | KEG_Fiori |
| Mobile App Categories | Fiori1 |
| Object ID of Device Group *) |
com.sap.portal.dg.tablet; TabletAndroid; com.sap.portal.dg.smartphone; com.sap.portal.dg.desktop; TabletWin8; SmartphoneAndroid |
| Launch in New Window | Display in separate headerless portal window (standard mode) |
| SAPUI5 Icon | sap-icon://time-entry-request |
| Hand Over Portal Stylesheet | <to uncheck> |
| Name | Time Sheet Entry |
It can be assigned to “My Home” groups and become visible on a user’s home page:

Hi Irena,
Nice blog, but need some advise about SAPUI5 icons. If we want to show custom SAPUI5 icon in the tile, then how we can add the custom SAP UI5 icon?
Best Regards,
Deep
Hello Deep,
I did not try it myself, but maybe you will find it useful:

Hello Irena,
thank you for your blog post.
In step 2) you created the distination to the backend system. But how can I setup the iView if the fiori app is uploaded directly into the web resource repository? If I leave the “system” property empty the app asks for the system, because it is mandatory.
Short background: We wanted to try the role viewer application. Because the cloud connector is not installed, I exported the source from the web IDE into a zip file, and uploaded it into the web resource repository of our enterprise portal.
Thanks in advance
Felix
