Make SAP Fiori Apps available

SAP Fiori® Apps are executables running in a browser to perform specific tasks in a fast and simple way. In SAP® Solution Manager 7.2, SAP Fiori® Apps are launched via SAP Fiori® Launchpad. Therefore a specific URL is required. This URL contains the SAP server address (base URL) and additional parameters.

If a branch is transferred to ARIS, SAP Fiori® Apps are represented by Screen objects of the Fiori Application transaction type. The required URL is not yet available in ARIS because the base URL cannot be determined. The second part of the URL is available. The parameters are specified as attribute values of the Screen objects.

This example shows a URL from the SAP Fiori® Launchpad:

http://sapserver72.us.com:8000/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/ui2/ushell/shells/abap/FioriLaunchpad.html?sap-client=001&sap-language=EN#Action-cm_cockpit

The highlighted base URL is not yet available. The parameters after the # shown as plain text are automatically transferred and specified as values of the Parameter1 System attribute (ACTION) and the Transaction code SAP Solutions attribute (cm_cockpit).

In order make SAP Fiori® Apps available in ARIS, you can easily provide the missing base URL. Therefore you must copy the base URL from the SAP Fiori® Launchpad and start the Specify SAP Fiori® App base URL report for the required database in ARIS Architect. You must run this report for each branch depending on the related Logical component. The Specify SAP Fiori® App base URL report specifies the base URL and assembles the required URL for each Screen object of the Fiori Application transaction type in the selected branch.

To check the specified attribute values, you can easily navigate to the Screen object. Just copy a Object search ID value from the report output file and paste it to the Search field on the New tab New tab.
