To integrate Web Dynpro ABAP applications and SAP GUI transactions located on a SAP
Fiori back-end server into SAP Fiori launchpad, you need to extract catalogs from the
back-end and replicate them on the front-end server.
Procedure
- In the productive frontend server system, launch transaction
/UI2/APPDESC_GET.
Alternatively, you can launch the customizing activity Extract
Transactions and Web Dynpro Applications.
- (Optional) In the Catalog ID field, enter the ID of one or more
catalogs which were defined in the launchpad designer and refer to catalogs
defined in a remote system.
If you make an entry for this field, the system only extracts the back-end catalogs,
which are referenced by the selected front-end catalogs.
If you do make
an entry for this field, all catalogs on the front-end server will be searched
for references to catalogs located in the back-end.
- Mark the Test mode checkbox and choose
Execute.
- Depending on the log displayed, proceed as follows:
-

Go back to the selection screen, unmark the Test
mode checkbox and choose
Execute.
- An error occurred:
Proceed according to the log being displayed. In
particular, check the long texts of the error messages.
Results
The back-end catalogs are replicated in the front-end server. The catalogs can now be
displayed in the launchpad designer. You cannot edit these catalogs in the launchpad
designer since the original data is located in the back-end.
If a back-end catalog did
not change since the last replication, it will not be replicated.
