On-Premise Fiori Launchpad Deployment

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:

  1. Log on to Fiori launchpad designer
  2. 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.
