Our FIORI Launchpad looks empty. To make Apps available to the Fiori Launchpad, please follow the
below steps.

1. Activate UI5 Application (Transaction SICF)

Transaction: SICF

UI5 Applications names from Fiori Apps Library: ”Manage Sales Orders”

Enter the Hierarchy Type and Service name (referred from SAP Fiori App Library)
Transaction SICF:

Press Execute
Right click on the service and activate it. In this case, it has been activated already.
 2. Register OData service (Transaction - /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE
(Activate and Maintain services))

OData Services from Fiori App Library

 Go to the Transaction /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE

 Click on Add Service button

 Provide the input for,
o System Alias: LOCAL as this system configured as an Embedded Deployment(not a
Central hub Deployment).
o Technical Service Name: Provide the OData service here (take from Fiori App Library).
o Press Get Services Button.

The below window would be opened to type in for a package.

Now, the service has been registered successfully.
Repeat the same process for other OData Services to get it registered.

3. Role Maintenance (Transaction: PFCG)

 Go to Transaction PFCG.
Note: It’s always advisable to copy the role to ZRole and make the required changes as per the User
Requirement.

Once the role get copied successfully, we have to make sure to complete the process for the below tabs.

Under Menu tab, we should add our OData services which we have activated in the Maintenance

Now you could see those objects have been added under the Menu tab of PFCG.
  Repeat the same steps (From Step 1 to Step 6) for Other OData services which exist for this APP.
Since This App has two OData Services related to this APP, finally we would get the lines added as below.

Once all the OData services were added, please save this role.

2. Authorization tab
Go to Authorization tab and click on “Change Authorization Data”.
  Click on Save  you will be asked to maintain the profile name and text  Press Enter.

Now go back to your Fiori Launchpad in Browser and refresh the page. You would be able to see the
Tiles (Apps) in the Fiori Launchpad under Groups.

The above User has more groups and its dependent apps to it.
If we want to assign only few apps instead of assigning all apps, then please follow the below steps.
Required tasks:
 1. Create Catalog
2. Create the reference of the tiles to the Catalog from the Actual Catalog
3. Crate the reference Target Mapping of the Tile to the newly created Catalog from the Actual
Catalog.
4. Create the Role and assign the catalog to this Role.
Launchpad can be launched in two different scopes.
1. Customization  applies the changes to the current client of the System.
2. Config  applies the changes across all the clients of the System.

By default, if we don’t specify any scope in the URL, the Fiori Launchpad will be launched in the
customization scope.
If we want to Launch the Launchpad in the config mode, we have to append the line “scope=CONF”
Ex: https://s4hana:8001/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/sap/arsrvc_upb_admn/main.html?scope=CONF

Then you could see that the client has been specified as Client ALL. So the changes done in the CONFIG
scope, it would be available across all the clients of this sytem.

CUSTOMIZATION SCOPE:
The changes done to this scope will be available only for this client. (default scope of the Fiori
Launchpad).
App can’t be directly assigned to the User.
Apps grouped into Catalogs  assign catalog to user

Create Catalog:

Step1 : Go to the Launchpad Designer Administrator.

Step 2: Create the Catalog by clicking the button in the admin Launchpad.

It will ask you to enter the *Title and *ID to create a new Catalog.

Click on Save.
Now you could see the Catalog has created successfully.

Now go to the actual Catalog to copy the App from there to the newly created Catalog “Sales Order
Custom”.

copy the app to your newly created Catalog.
2. You could see all the Tiles available for this particular Catalog.

4. Here, I have dragged the Manage Sales Order Tile and when you drag it, it will show two
options,
i. Create Reference
ii. Delete
5. Place the Tile on the Create Reference button and inturn, if will ask you, under which Catalog
you want to place this Tile.

7. Now double click on the resulted catalog to successfully place the Tile in this.
8. Now go to the newly created Catalog and check if you have this Tile copied.

is Mandatory.
11. Now, go the Actual Catalog  Click on Target Mapping  select the required Target mapping
line  click on Create Reference.
 12. Once you click on the Create Reference, it will ask you for the Catalog in which you want to copy
