Target Mapping ​

Use the following parameters for target mapping in your Launchpad configuration:

  • Semantic Object: Z2UI5_CL_MY_APP
  • Action: display
  • URL: /sap/bc/ui5_ui5/sap/z2ui5
  • ID: z2ui5
  • Parameter: app_start / Z2UI5_CL_MY_APP

Troubleshooting ​

Sometimes, installation via abapGit can cause cache-related issues. Follow these steps to resolve them:

Cache Management ​

  1. Recalculate app index of z2ui5 with report /UI5/APP_INDEX_CALCULATE 389816897-f18e791e-1e07-4381-a8a8-deb5af3ec02c389816886-093d087f-4d7d-48b3-b7c4-75c16046af5b

  2. Recalculate index of distribution layer with report /UI5/APP_INDEX_CALCULATE (if tab isn't visible try switching to another tab, then it usually appears) 389817086-2a480005-f9f9-46e8-a432-456494957665389817130-389f2be1-d75b-4dbb-aa81-e5b5e4202440

  3. Invalidate http caches in transaction SMICM 389817432-f6568b5e-0588-4a98-83cc-f1bd58e0dd64

  4. Clear browser caches and hard reload

Manual Deployment ​

If cache clearing doesn’t resolve the issue, manually upload the frontend application:

  1. Download the webapp folder of the project.

  2. Use the SAP program /UI5/UI5_REPOSITORY_LOAD to upload the application to the server. image

Approach ​

(1/3) Use a single Interface:

abap
INTERFACE z2ui5_if_lp_kpi
  PUBLIC.

  METHODS count
    IMPORTING
      filter        TYPE string
    RETURNING
      VALUE(result) TYPE i.

ENDINTERFACE.

(2/3) Which can be used on app level to return KPIs:

abap
CLASS z2ui5_cl_lp_kpi_hello_world DEFINITION
  PUBLIC
  FINAL
  CREATE PUBLIC .

  PUBLIC SECTION.
    INTERFACES z2ui5_if_proxy_kpi.
    INTERFACES z2ui5_if_app.

ENDCLASS.

CLASS z2ui5_cl_proxy_kpi_hello_world IMPLEMENTATION.

  METHOD z2ui5_if_lp_kpi~count.
    "kpi calculation....
    result = 10.
  ENDMETHOD.

  METHOD z2ui5_if_app~main.
    "abap2UI5 app logic here...
  ENDMETHOD.

ENDCLASS.

(3/3) A generic OData service takes care of everything else (which just returns n dummy entries). Just maintain the KPI at the Launchpad with the following endpoint:

.../sap/opu/odata/sap/Z2UI5_PROXY_KPI_SRV/ENTITYCollection/$count?$filter=CLASS eq 'z2ui5_cl_proxy_kpi_hello_world'
