Background:


 

Old launch"page" was released with initial 25 SAP Fiori apps in May 2013.

Old apps were html view and there were no UI extension points.

 

New launch"pad" was released with 190+ apps in Nov. 2013.

New UI components work with new SAP Fiori launchpad.

New UI componnets have UI extension points and you can extend the UI.

 

Old launchpage is valid for customers who went live in 2013.

Customers who are going to live in 2014 should use New SAP Fiori launchpad with new UI add-on components which have UI extension points.

 

URL:


launchpad:

http://<host>.<domain>:<port>/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/ui2/ushell/shells/abap/Fiorilaunchpad.html?sap-client=<...

launchpad designer:

Install new UI add-on components for new SAP Fiori launchpad



 

Customers who went live in 2013:


You can continue to use old Lunchpage until 2015/05/10. It is supported.

When you are going to implement additional apps, you will implement apps with new launchpad.

  • You can run both launchpage and launchpad in parallel

  • If you have not modified UI code, new UI works as out of the box with additional role assignment, etc. Backend configuration is still same.

  • If you have modified UI code, you should migrate your code changes in UI extension project using UI extension points. Please see Extensibility.


 

Customers who are going to live in 2014:


Please use new SAP Fiori launchpad. You should NOT install old UI component UISRA*. Install launchpad enabled new UI components.
