Creating a Launchpad Configuration File

A launchpad configuration file is a JSON file. The format of this file is described in this section.

File Name

The file name of a launchpad configuration file must contain at least one character and have the extension .json.

The following characters are allowed in the file name:

Uppercase and lowercase letters (A-Z, a-z)
Figures (0-9)
Underscores (_)

Format

The content of a launchpad configuration file must comply with the JSON format.

The following example shows the content of a launchpad configuration file:

{
	"documentation" : {
		"description" : "This launchpad configuration file disables personalization",
		"configURL" : "https://<host>:<port>/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/ui2/ushell/shells/abap/cfg/sap/<myconfig>.json",
		"startupURL" : "https://<server>:<port>/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/ui2/ushell/shells/abap/FioriLaunchpad.html?sap-client=<client>&sap-ushell-config-url=cfg/sap/<myconfig>.json",
		"localStartupURL" : "http://localhost:8080/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/ui2/ushell/shells/abap/FioriLaunchpad.html?sap-ushell-config-url=cfg/sap/<myconfig>.json"
	},
	"renderers": {
		"fiori2" : {
			"componentData": {
				"config": {
					"enablePersonalization": false,
					"enableSetTheme": false
				}
			}
		}
	}
}

Parameters can be nested. In the example above, the parameter enablePersonalization is nested in the path Start of the navigation path renderers Next navigation step fiori2 componentData config End of the navigation path .

In the example above, the documentation parameter as well as the parameters nested within it are used for documentation purposes only. These parameters are not evaluated by the system. You can delete this section if you do not need it.

Note If a JSON file contains any errors, the system disregards this file and uses parameters defined in other locations, such as the FioriLaunchpad.html file or Customizing.

Next Steps

After creating a launchpad configuration file, you can upload it to the front-end server. For more information, see Uploading a Launchpad Configuration File to the BSP Repository or Uploading a Launchpad Configuration File to the MIME Repository.
