Performance improvement for the SAP Menu in SAP Fiori Launchpad in multiple languages

If you’re using the SAP Menu in the SAP Fiori Launchpad you might be aware of the SAP Notes:

• 2545066 – EAM/UM: Performance of SAP Menu
• 2637327 – Easy Access Menu in App Finder displays No apps to display

That ask you to run the report /UI2/EAM_BUILD_CACHE. If you have multiple languages installed that can be quite cumbersome as you have to execute the report in each of the installed languages. To get arround this issue I’ve created the following helper report that schedules a job in all installed languages:

*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*
*& Report ZBC_FLP_EAM_BUILD_CACHE
*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*
*& Wrap /UI2/EAM_BUILD_CACHE to execute for multiple languages
