      Hi Ravi

      Yo have to check that, the link that you provide in the app( fiori admin) should have the same domain that of your fiori launchpad.

      Thanks

      Hi Vikas,

      The issue is with the syntax of abap logic inside class method "IF_HTTP_EXTENSION~HANDLE_REQUEST ".

      As per changes in abap syntax take help of an abaper and replace tilted single quote ' with proper single straight single quote ' .

      With above changes it should work provided others steps you have followed properly.

      rakesh singh - There is no Syntax error in the ABAP Code, I checked with Syntax check.

      To change this "20 days ago" date format to "3/18/2021" OR to display ”Today” / ”Yesterday” in Sap News Tile (Standard News Tile). We have configured this News Tile using SICF Service.

      Kindly let us know if any one has done the similar customization to change the date format of Standard News Tile. Any Information/Links/Documents would really help.
