Business Application Studio & Launchpad Services in Cloud Foundry
Hello All
These days, we have seen many blogs explaining in & arounds of SAP Business Application Studio (BAS). I blogged out few experiences I came across while using BAS & Launchpad Services.
Below are the ways in getting the templates for applications creation in BAS.
- View > Find Command > SAP Business Application Studio: Create Project from Template
- View > Find Command > Yeoman UI Generators
3.Help > Welcome
I have created an SAPUI5 application using SAP Fiori Freestyle Project template.
To run the application, goto Run Configurations from left pane.
Create a new service instance
Select CF space
If we have multiple applications exposed, there is an option available to unexpose the active ports
Output
Build & Deploy mta.yaml file. Replace the instance with subaccount
We should be able to view below details after deployment in CF.
To configure our application in Launchpad service, use below object in manifest.json under sap.app
We can set the “hideLauncher”: true for SAP Fiori Launchpad plugins
Build and Deploy again. Now open launchpad service. My application is available in the content manager.
Title > appTitle in manifest.json
Description > appDescription in manifest.json
ID > Combination of HTMLModuleName and Namespace provided during creation of application
Finally configure Group, Catalog & Role. Go to site.
Please do comment if any.
Thank you!!

Hi, I have a problem when deploying from SAP Business Application Studio, content explore is created. but the app doesn't open. in the console it gives me this error.
Hello!
Following the tutorial and adding the crossNavigation to the manifest, my SAPUI5 application does not appear in the content explorer on the launchpad.
What should I do to appear in the content explorer?
Thanks in advance
