There are two different options availlable when deploying the Floe Designer Fiori Application to an On-Premise Fiori launchpad. The choice depends on the version of the SAP UI5 runtime in your system. In order to use the embedded deployment option, runtime version 1.60+ is required - for lower versions you must select the External link option
SAPUI5 Runtime Version check
Use the following URL to check the UI5 runtime version your system is running: (the most up to date version will be to the right)
http://[host]:[port]/sap/public/bc/ui5_ui5/
Embedded Deployment
With this option, the App will be available to access from within the launchpad shell. To add a Floe Designer tile to the Fiori launchpad, follow the steps below:
- Log on to Fiori launchpad designer
-
Under the required catalog, go to Tile tab -> Add Tile -> App launcher - Static
a. Title: Floe Designer
b. Subtitle: Manage Emails
c. *Check* "Use semantic object navigation"
d. Semantic Object: floe
e. Action: manageEmail
(NOTE: This is the default option and will cause the launchpad tile to launch the default "Manage Email" view. The following actions may also be used if you
wish for a tile that launches a different page by default: manageLibrary, managePreview, attRepository)
f. Click Save
3. Go to the Target Mapping tab
a. Click Create Target Mapping
b. Semantic Object: floe
c. Action: manageEmail
d. Application Type: SAPUI5 Fiori App
e. Title: Floe Designer
f. URL: /sap/bc/ui5_ui5/floe/ebuilder
g. ID: floe
h. Click Save
4. Add the Floe tile to the required "Group" and make sure the catalog/group access is assigner to frontend application users
External Link
With this option, Floe designer will launch in a new window external to the Fiori launchpad shell. This deployment option is recommended for customers who are running UI5 version < 1.60. Floe Designer will download the relevant SAPUI5 libraries from SAP Cloud based CDN during runtime.
