Hi everybody,

the behavior of opening non Fiori application in a new window is in line with Fiori UX Design Guidelines in newer versions of the Fiori Launchpad (See https://experience.sap.com/fiori-design/concept/navigation/, "Navigation between apps" section).

However, you may force the old behavior in applications by specifying "managed=FioriWave1" in the "additional information" field in the lpd_cust configuration of the application.

Michael Albrecht,

Thank you!! Your response to force the old behaviour did the trick for us to open non fiori applications open up in the same window.

We have same situation where Custom Fiori /Fiori like application are opening up in new tab through Fiori Launchpad.

Validated configuration(Semantic Object Definition, LPD_CUST, Tile Configuration & Target Mapping) and all looks good.

One observation is when LPD_CUST configured with to load with Component(Component.js instead of Index.html), Application is opening up in same window. However when LPD_CUST is configured with index.html(For example: /sap/bc/ui5_ui5/sap/zxxxx/index.html) without component, Application is opening up in new tab.

Look forward to hear from you, how did address/mitigate the issue. Appreciate any inputs on this subject.

Thanks,

Anil

Waqas has not logged into SCN for two months, so asking for updates is useless.  Click on his name (or right click) and open up his profile and you can see the last time he logged in.

, is there anyway you can check on the ticket and report the fix?

Hi Waqas,

In the target url, remove the path http://hostname:port/ and just put the path as /sap/bc/.....z_re_cam

Hope this helps,

Hello, I am having similar issues. It is set up to use semantic object navigation, and when I first click the tile, I can see the URL resolve to #semobj-action, but then the app launches in a new tab, and the original tab just goes back to the launchpad URL. This behavior seems to have started after we patched from 1.28.7 to 1.32.1. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Daniel,

We are facing similar issues after patching from 1.28 to 1.34. Configuration is done via semantic objects. That part worked fine before the patch. Did you find any solution to your problem?

Thank you and kind regards,

Hi Waqas,

Target URL is not required. You should enter the URL in LPD Cust role.

Hi Waqas,

Showing tile and removing target URL, there is no link. If you assign proper role to the user. You should be able to see tiles in both case. One being the error tile.

Anyways, Can you show me the lpd_cust configuration ?

Hi Waqas,

Did you try using semantic object in the Tile properties instead of providing the Target URL?

When you give the Target URL, it will open up the app in a new tab as you have mentioned.

[Former Member]

[saurabh_vakil]

Hi Waqas,

When you configure the semantic object and action instead of the Target URL, please access the Launchpad URL and check if you get any error(s) in the browser's developer console.

Hi Waqas,

Follow these step to solve the issue.

1. Transaction LPD_CUST->Test_Role->New App->Provide Link Text/Application Parameter ( add your URL/Application Alias : Test_Alias and additional information.: Component

2. Fiori Designer->Launchpad Role - Test_Role, Launchpad Instance, Application Alias : Test_Alias
