Open Application URL

You can directly open an analytic application via a URL, which may also be used when you embed the application in external ones. The URL uses a specific syntax and you can add parameters to it.

Use Syntax to Compose Application URL

You can use the following syntax to compose application URL and open the application:

https://<TENANT>/sap/fpa/ui/tenants/<TENANT_ID>/bo/application/<APPLICATION_ID>

Replace <TENANT> with the public SAP Analytics Cloud URL for your tenant, <TENANT_ID> with your tenant ID in lowercase letters, and <APPLICATION_ID> with the ID of the application you want to open.

Note

If tenant ID isn't in lowercase letters, the URL won't work correctly.

To find your tenant ID, go to Start of the navigation path Next navigation step System About End of the navigation path . Your tenant ID is listed under System Name.

To get your application ID, go to Start of the navigation path Next navigation step Files End of the navigation path to find and open the application. Copy the application ID from the URL.

Tip

If you have the permission to share the application, you can also get its URL by selecting it and choosing Start of the navigation path Next navigation step Share End of the navigation path . In the Share Application dialog, you can find the URL under Default Link.

Here's the example URL:

https://tenant/sap/fpa/ui/tenants/fd23e/app.html#/analyticapp&/aa/19F03902279139EC3896DB38A0F60557
