Setting Parameters in the FioriLaunchpad.html File

The FioriLaunchpad.html file is used to launch the standard implementation of the SAP Fiori launchpad. This file contains some predefined parameters.

Caution

The FioriLaunchpad.html file is delivered by SAP. If you modify this file, your changes might be overwritten when you upgrade your system to a new release or support package. For this reason, remember to create a backup copy of the FioriLaunchpad.html file before upgrading.

As an alternative, you can also create a copy of the FioriLaunchpad.html file and save it with a different name, for example MyCompanyLaunchpad.html. The advantage of this procedure is that your changes will not be overwritten when you do an upgrade to a new release or support package. However, the disadvantage of this procedure is that any new features or bug fixes that SAP provides in the FioriLaunchpad.html file are not automatically integrated into customer-specific files. This means that after an upgrade to a new release or support package, you have to compare your MyCompanyLaunchpad.html with the new FioriLaunchpad.html file, and update your MyCompanyLaunchpad.html file with any changes.

Example

The following example shows parameters in the FioriLaunchpad.html file:

// platform specific (ABAP) bootstrap configuration
"bootstrap" :  {
    "serverConfiguration" : {
        "sap-ushell-config-url" : undefined, // optionally define a hard coded absolute or relative path here (prevents using url filename!)
        "serverConfigurationFolderWhitelist": {
            "" : true,
            "cfg/" : true,
            "cfg/sap/" : true,
            "/sap/ushell_config/" : true,
            "/sap/bc/ui5_demokit/test-resources/sap/ushell/demoapps/BootstrapConfigSamples/" : true
        }
    }
}

Parameters

The following table shows parameters that can be maintained in the FioriLaunchpad.html file, but should not be maintained in a launchpad configuration file:

Table 1:
Parameter	Path	Description
sap-ushell-config-url	bootstrap serverConfiguration	This parameter allows you to reference a launchpad configuration file. For more information, see Referencing a Launchpad Configuration File.
