Trick: Add dynamic tile on the SAP Cloud platform launchpad

[enric101]

Hi!

In cloud foundry it's possible add a configuration of tile directly in the manifest.json of the SAPUI5 application.

But, Is it possible to do this tile dynamic?

• YES! OF COURSE

It's only necessary add "indicatorDataSource" that contains the configuration of KPIs and... the most important... In the path add "/dynamic_dest/<<Your destination>>/path_to_your_service

Just add the following configuration in your manifest (included in section "sap.app"):

"crossNavigation": {

            "inbounds": {

                "intent1": {

                    "signature": {

                        "parameters": {},

                        "additionalParameters": "allowed"

                    },

                    "semanticObject": "Object",

                    "action": "display",

                    "title": "{{appTitle}}",

                    "info": "{{appTitle}}",

                    "subTitle": "{{appSubTitle}}",

                    "icon": "sap-icon://account",

                    "indicatorDataSource": {

                        "dataSource": "APIPORTAL-Northwind",

                        "path": "/dynamic_dest/APIPORTAL-Northwind/V2/Northwind/Northwind.svc/Products/$count",

                        "refresh": 0

                    }

                }

            }

        }

},

This is an example of the configuration:

In this example I used the destination to Northwind service:

Finally, this is the result:
