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:
- SAP Fiori Server (Front-end)
- SAP Fiori Launchpad Url:
- SAP Fiori Designer Url:
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:
- 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.
- 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.
- Link Text:
- 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:
- One as customized request (CSR)
- 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:
- 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
- One PFCG Role for SAPUI5 Application, which includes:
- Business Group
- Business Catalog
- Odata Service accessibility
- One PFCG Role for Fiori Launchpad accessibility, which includes below default services acces
- 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.
