How to set the Fiori elements as an standalone app in order to register in launchpad

[jhonj98]

Hi @IObert ,

I was asking myself how to create the fiori application you taught us but with the capability of being registered in a Fiori Launchpad site (the new service in cf) in a "easy" way (I already know how to add applications in Fiori launchpad site). I don't know if I am wrong but I have read that I can do it creating the app as standalone approuter, but this option is only visible when creating sapui5 free style application, but not in Fiori elements app.

Could you explain or may be guide me with some links where I can find information?.

Thank you in advanced.

Hi @jhonj98,

I assume you want that your app is automatically exposed in the "content explorer" so you won't have to add it manually in the Launchpad Site Manager, right? As of today, the Fiori Tools (which generated the Fiori Elements project) only support the "standalone approuter" approach but I know that there are working hard to support the "managed by SAP Cloud Platform" approach as well.

You can follow the instructions in summarized in this post to transform your app manually if you need this today.

Does this answer your question?

Thank you @IObert , The only thing is when I create a Fiori elements application there is not a mta file (among other things), but when I create a sapui5 free style app I do see this file, I assume that with the instructions of your post the idea is to create that mta file manually in order to build and deploy to cf, tell me if I'm wrong.

Thanks again.

You can run npm run deploy to create the mta file (and other resources) :)

Ok I see, thanks for the information, I'm going to try the steps from your post and see what happens, thank you very much.
