How to access WebClient UI Apps from Fiori launchpad in Standalone Mode
The standalone mode is available for S/4HANA for customer management 1.0 with SAP S/4HANA 1709 FPS1 and higher releases.
In Standalone mode, the applications are opened in a separate window within WebClient UI Shell (a.k.a. L-Shape).
Adding a tile for Standalone Mode
- In SAP Fiori launchpad designer, create a catalog.
Eg: ZTEST_S4CM_STANDALONE
2. Add a Static App Launcher Tile.
3. Add the Target url based navigation information.
Note that you have to provide a complete URL including the protocol (typically http:// or https://)
4. The tile is now added to your catalog:
5. Assign the catalog to your PFCG role in frontend system.
6. Assign the role to your user in the frontend system.
7. Go to the App finder and pin the tile.
8. The tile will be available in your homepage.
9. Launching this tile will open WebClient UI in standalone mode:
For more information refer to Static App Launcher documentation.

Hi,
What i see in my S4 Hana 2020 system is that SAP has used Target Mapping. This is another way maybe.

Hi Navin,
The case you described here is Fiori Launchpad integrated mode. This is using FLP content as described in my blog post Fiori launchpad integration for WebClient UI in S/4HANA.

Hi Saminder,
Good blog and informative.
I Have one requirement, where if employee click on the work center in S4HANA CRM Webui, it should open a FIORI app Sales Order in a new window. How to achieve this functionality. Through transaction launcher, we can open a FIORI app, but could not find any specific app can be opened.
Can you please help us here.

Hi Shashi Ponaganti
There is a new feature to embed SAP UI5 Apps in WebClient UI.
Please check my blog post : Integration with SAPUI5 apps in WebClient UI via embedding
If you do not want the Fiori app embedded but to open in separate window, you can just use the FLP navigation descriptor based on class cl_wcf_flp_nav_descriptor in your scenario and pass the parameter for ex-place navigation.

Hello Saminder,
Thanks for the post. What if I want to make the URL dynamic based on server so that I can launch relevant URL based on dev, quality & prod servers.
Different Hosts and ports.
