Back button from Fiori Launchpad not working on chrome when an app calls another launchpad app

0 Kudos

Hi SAP experts,

In SAP Fiori Launchpad, the standard "back" button does't work properly when used on Google Chrome nor in Internet Explorer, only on Mozilla Firefox, when calling an app that calls another Fiori app.

I have developed a SAPUI5 app in which when a button is pressed, it calls a SAP webgui Transaction deployed as a Fiori tile. Everything works fine, but when pressing "back" from the called app, it does not go to the parent app (the app which called the current app) nor does anything: no errors are shown in Chrome's DevTools console.

But, this button works fine when only one app is opened in the Launchpad (i.e., from the Launchpad I open an app and then I go back to the Launchpad's homepage, where its semantic object is Shell-home) in any of the aforementioned browsers.

Does anyone have a clue in what may be causing this behaviour? Once again everything works fine in Mozilla Firefox

Thanks in advance,

Erick.

Erick,

I think this KBA may help describe what you are seeing and give you some pointers on how to adjust for the behavior.

Thank you Tracy! This was exaclty what i was looking for. Although i solved the situation by giving the back button a callback function in order to achieve the desired scenario (when opening the UI5 app which calls those transactios deployed as WebGUI transactions and then clearing it when leaving). I didn't know that this was the default behavior of opening WebGUI transactions.
