Issue with Fiori Launchpad via SAP Business Client 6.0 PL2

[Former Member]

Hi all,

We have an issue when accessing the Fiori Launchpad via SAP Business Client 6.0 PL2:

In the Fiori Launchpad we have a Tile that login into the backend system:

Till here everything is OK...

BUT something happens when we try to access the backend system (using the same Tile) after we opened a new tab in SAP Business Client...

Steps to reproduce:

1. We have a Tile to access a Fiori app. We access to Fiori app:

2. This application loads a colored calendar where each cell of calendar allows you to navigate to another application. When we click on a day, a new tab is opened in SAP Business Client:

The UI5 code we used to open a new Tab is:

var href_For_Product_display =

  ( sap.ushell && sap.ushell.Container && oCrossAppNavigator.hrefForExternal({

                 target : { semanticObject : "ServiceEntrySheet", action : 'openappBus' },

                params : { "WorkMasterPlans" : guid }                })) || "";

var newWindow = window.open();

newWindow.open(href_For_Product_display,"_top");

3. In the new Tab, we click to the Homepage icon, and we come back to Fiori Launchpad screen:

4. We click again over the same Tile that before to access the backend system... BUT this time the SAP Business Client uses WebGUI service in the backend system to display the backend transaction screen (like happens when you are on a internet browser):

Any idea why it happens? It seems like the SAP Business Client is working like an internet browser when we open a new Tab via UI5 app...

Hi Miguel, your screenshots are very small. What exactly is displayed chossing the FLP tile for the second time? Could you please test your scenario using the browser without business client. Regards, Sandra

Hi Sandra,

The first time (without a new Tab in SAP Business Client 6.0 PL2), we access to the backend like this:

Note: You can see the icon toolbar, etc... and at the bottom, a popup when you can read SapguiTransaction

When we open a new Tab (through a Fiori app), and we click on the same Tile to access the backend, we see something like this:

Note: You can not see the icon toolbar, etc... and at the bottom (not in this screen, but in the first message) a popup when you can read BrowserURL

The second time is like when you access through WEBGUI to the backend, like in a web-browser... but you are still inside SAP Business Client !!

Miguel Angel.

Hi Miguel, window.open() will open a browser window as BC tab. But in that tab the FLP apparemtly doesnt know anymore where it runs. I'll ask the FLP colleagues what to do. And it would be a good idea if you could open a ticket for the UI Services component. Regards, Sandra

Thanks for your suggestion, Sandra! We're going to open the ticket...

Waiting for your news from FLP colleagues 🙂

Hi all,

We found another way to simulate the same issue with a standard function - Save as Tile feature...

When you click over Save as Tile function - this is a standard feature that comes with UI5 apps - a new Tile is created in the FLP.

If you click over this new Tile created in the FLP, a new Tab in NWBC is opened, and from that point is like you are working in a "Internet Browser" - again, the backend system is accessed with SAP GUI for HTML in NWBC...

I hope it helps... 🙂

Miguel Angel.
