CF multitenancy: Cloud not expose multitenant app as a Saas in SAP CF

[Ranjith]

Hi all,

I trying to implement a shell plugin for SAP CF launchpad by referring the https://help.sap.com/viewer/ad4b9f0b14b0458cad9bd27bf435637d/Cloud/en-US/8a25fddb747f4ba992969049de9... and i can successfully implement it in my runtime fiori launchpad.

Now i need to implement this shell plugin to my Site-manager FIORI Launchpad. To achieve this i'm trying to expose my multi-tenant app as content provider by referring https://help.sap.com/viewer/ad4b9f0b14b0458cad9bd27bf435637d/Cloud/en-US/8a25fddb747f4ba992969049de9....

I have configured the mta.yaml and can see the multi-tenant application as SaaS Provisioning service in my subaccount subscription section.

But when i try to subscribe my multi-tenent Saas service it throwing a error saying Could not enable application: Internal Server Error (500). Can anyone help me this scenario or is there any way to add the shell plugin to the sitemanager FLP.

I followed the same links but without using cap. I created a MTA project in WebIDE instead and this was working fine, so I could add this application to my portal service launchpad.
I will try tomorrow to do the same with my cap project and let you know, if this is working as well.

Best Regards,

sub.pngHi christoffer.fuss

Now i can subscribe the created SaaS service. But it is not visible in my contentprovider section of my portal service. Do we need to share anything more to make it visible in the portal service. if possible could you please share your code via mail or github.

Thanks & regards,

In which subaccount are you running your portal service? In the subaccount, where your app is hosted, it is not visible for me as well. In the subaccount, where the app is subscribed, it is visible. I have done no further steps after the successful subscription.

[christoffer_fuss]

No I don't know if it is possible to get it working in the same subaccount, I am also interessted to achieve this, so please let me know if you get this working 😉

Best regardsm

Hi Christoffer,

I think SAP has updated some content in portal service. Now the HTML Repo content provider is automatically appearing in the Content Provider Section of the portal and follow the https://help.sap.com/viewer/956efb6db08c450bb303a0d316b72f10/Cloud/en-US/3a0e6d6b791c4c2189f6a0a4241... to add a HTML5 app or plugin app as a content provider in the same sub-account.

I'm trying to achieve this, but i couldn't .Please let me know once you can achieve this.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi

Have you been able to achieve this? I was able to subscribe to the subscription, but not seeing the plugin in the Content Provider section of Portal Service.

Regards

Antonette

Hi Antonette Venter,

Yes. I did. But if you are going to follow this method then you need to create a two subaccout as Christoffer Fuss mentioned in the above comment.

Note : As per SAP it is possible to achieve this in same subaccount. Please refer https://answers.sap.com/questions/13121628/couldnt-expose-the-html-content-in-portal.html. If you can do this in same subaccount please let me know. Because i'm trying it for last one month but i couldn't.

[antonette_oberholster]

Hi ranjith13119-gmail.com

Thanks, I'll let you know if I find a way. How were you able to expose your app to the second subaccount's HTML5 repository?

Regards

Antonette

[christoffer_fuss]

Hi antonette.venter ,

are you still struggeling with this? You can also try this approach where you dont need a second subaccount. For me both approaches are working.

Best Regards,

Chris

HI christoffer.fuss ,

Is it possible to add the plugin app by using the link which you sepcified in the above command?

I tired it for all the apps(HTML5, BSP, Deeplinks). It is working fine.

But i could achive it for plugin app. If though what is the Semantic object and Action for the plugin app?

Is it #Shell-plugin ?

Do we need to add this app to Group or catalog. What is the visualization Tile type(Static, Dynamic or None) for Plugin app?

Could you please confirm.

Hi Christoffer,

As you said it is visible in my portal service of another subaccount where the app is subscribed. Is there any possibility to achieve in the same subaccount(in the subaccount, where the app is hosted).

If we are going to follow this approach to add a plugin app in the portal FLP, then we need to create a two subaccount for all the global accounts.

Thanks & Regards,
