Create External Alias for FIORILAUNCHPAD.html using SICF

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I have been searching in the forum on how to create External Alias using SICF. The closest I could find is the one posted by Masayuki (). But this doesn't solve my problem.

So, here's the scenario:

I have a requirement to display a link (Fiori Link for PO Approval) in the workflow task description. Unfortunately, the Fiori URL is too long and the task description can accommodate upto 80 chars. I am thinking of using External Alias to shorten the Fiori URL.

As explained earlier, I managed to create External Alias.

So, let's say this is my Fiori URL

HTTP://xxxxxxxxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.xx:nnnn/SAP/BC/UI5_UI5/UI2/USHELL/SHELLS/ABAP/FIORILAUNCHPAD.HTML?SAP-...

I have created an External Alias /fiori for /sap/bc/ui5_ui5/ui2/ushell. In this way, I managed to reduce the length from 136 to 116 chars. But this is still unacceptable because the length exceeds 80 chars.

My question is: How do I create External Alias for the complete FioriLaunchPad.html (/SAP/BC/UI5_UI5/UI2/USHELL/SHELLS/ABAP/FIORILAUNCHPAD.HTML)?

Can I also define SAP Client (in my case is 210) and the Application (in my case is ZPURCHASEORDER-APPROVE) in the External Alias?

Thanks.

Hi Eka, Not the best way but this worked for me- see if this helps

Create an external alias pointing to an inactive service (any inactive service/create a new one and deactivate it)

in the Error Pages tab->Not Accessible

chose redirect to URL - enter your Fiori URL - /SAP/BC/UI5_UI5/UI2/USHELL/SHELLS/ABAP/FIORILAUNCHPAD.HTML

under logon data tab you can set the client

Hi Babu,

Thanks for your reply. I have tried that option, however, when I clicked from workflow inbox, the URL didn't work.

Thanks,
