Introduction

In this article we will discuss how to deploy BSP Application on the Fiori Launchpad. If you are looking to deploy your UI5 Application directly on the Fiori Launchpad to the Neo Environment, then click here and if to the Cloud Foundry Environment, then click here.

A BSP Application stands for Business Server Page Application is a Web Application created using UI5/Fiori and executed in a web browser. It is an on premise UI5 Application. In this article we will not focus upon the creation and processing of BSP Application rather focus on its deployment over the Launchpad.

Prerequisite

Following are the prerequisite of the BSP App Deployment:

• You need to have a UI5 Application already in place and ready for deployment
• The UI5 App should have a unique App id maintained in manifest.json
  
• The WebIDE should be connected to the respective SAPUI5 ABAP Repository System
  
• The UI5 App should be error free and no duplicate ID’s should be used throughout the App
• You should have a package and transport requests (both workbench and customizing request) in place

Steps to Deploy BSP Application on the Fiori Launchpad

1.      Upload the SAP UI5 Application as a BSP Application to the Gateway Server

2.      Create a Launchpad Role in LPD_CUST Transaction

3.      Create a Semantic Object in /UI2/SEMOBJ Transaction

4.      Create a Catalog, Target Mapping and Static Tile

5.      Create a Group and Add the Catalog

6.      Create a PFCG Role for the Catalog and Group

7.      Test your App on Fiori Launchpad

 

Errors Faced During Deployment

While deploying a UI5 Application as a BSP application, you might face given errors:

• You don’t have the needed Authorizations to deploy
• Authorization error when connecting to Gateway from WebIDE
• You get an error when your system is selected in the first step of the wizard
• WebIDE deploy error ,Not able to access Gateway system from WEB IDE

Introduction

SAP Fiori Launchpad is one stop to access all the SAP Fiori Applications. To make your Fiori Application visible on SAP Fiori Launchpad, you need to do Tiles setup. You need to create a tile and a catalogue and configure both of them with your application. In upcoming section we will teach you to do so step by step.

Steps to do SAP Fiori Launchpad Tiles Setup

1. Go to Given transaction in your backend system to open Fiori Launchpad: /n/ui2/flp – fiori launchpad. To Open Designer Link: /n/ui2/flpd_cust – designer. It will open a link on your browser. [Raise, if you don’t have]
2. Go to settings and select customizing TR. 
3. Go to Catalogs, Click the button below:

4. Click on tiles, Create tile -> Click on Static Tile
   

• Enter Title [App Name], Semantic Object [no special/ space character ( . and _ allowed) à Unique Name], Action[manage] and click on Save

5. Click on Target Mapping à Create Target Mapping
   1. Enter Same Semantic Object, Action and Title
   2. Application Type à SAPUI5 FIORI APP
   3. ID à Component ID [ID in Manifest.json]
6. Click Group, create group the way catalogue was created
   1. Name à same as catalogue / App Name/ etc [Visible on FLP]
   2. ID à ZG_*
7. Click on + button, Give your catalogue name, your tiles under that catalogue will be visible.
