Uploading a Launchpad Configuration File to the MIME Repository

This section describes how to upload a launchpad configuration file to the MIME repository and set an expiry time.

1. Open the ABAP Workbench (transaction SE80).
2. In the MIME Repository, create a folder where you want to store your launchpad configuration files.
   In the context menu of a folder (for example, PUBLIC), choose  Create  Folder , then enter a name (for example flpconfig).
3. To set an expiration time for the client cache, in the context menu of your folder, choose  Other Functions  Expiration Time Client Cache .
4. In the dialog box that is displayed, choose (Display or Change).
5. Activate Individual Expiration and Expiration Active, then enter a value, for example 7 days.
6. Save the expiration time.
7. In the context menu of your folder, choose Import MIME Objects.
8. In the Open dialog, browse to your .json file and select it.
9. In the Create New Document dialog, enter the following values:

   Option	Description
   Doc. Class	Application-Specific MIME Object
   Name	Name of your configuration file. For a description of the allowed characters in the file name, see Creating a Launchpad Configuration File.
   MIME Type	To simplify testing, you can change the default value (application/octet-stream) to application/json. This avoids getting a download dialog when you open the file's URL directly in your web browser.
