Fiori Launchpad Designer - no catalogs are displayed

[ChristiaanBITBW]

Hi,

I installed SAP Fiori according to the guidelines in SAP Help Portal:
- Setup of SAP Fiori System Landscape with ABAP Environment

- Configuration of SAP Fiori Infrastructure > Setup of SAP Fiori Launchpad

- App Implementation for Transactional Apps

I implemented 2 Apps:
- My Travel and Expenses for Employee
- Approve Travel Expenses for Manager

Relevant Packages are up to date:
- Frontend
        SAP NetWeaver 7.4 SPS 11

        SAP_GWFND 740 0013

        SAP_UI 740 0015

        UITRV001 100 0006

        UIX01TRV 100 0007
- Backend
        SAP NetWeaver 7.4 SPS 11

        EA-HR 607 0039
        SRA008 600 0010

Unfortunately in Fiori Launchpad neither Apps nor Catalogs are shown.
The Problem already starts in Fiori Launchpad Designer being empty (no catalogs, no groups).

During my problem investigation I found out, that in transaction /UI2/FLC (Fiori Launchpad Checks) all Packages are shown with no errors (all is green), but when I click on either one of the catalog IDs, MSIE opens and I get following error message (roughly translated from German):
"Catalog with ID:X-SAP-UI2-CATALOGPAGE:... does not exist; the first catalog in the list will be loaded".
The catalog IDs involved are:
SAP_TRAVEL_BC_MANAGER_X1
SAP_TRAVEL_BC_EMPLOYEE_X1
SAP_TRAVEL_TC_T_X1
SAP_TRAVEL_BC_BUSINESSTRA
SAP_TRAVEL_TC_T

Please advise since I am completely stuck here.

Thanks,

Christiaan

Hi,

Have you implemented all the notes mentioned here ?

Also check if this note helps - 2251801 - Tile catalogs and groups are not loaded after upgrade in Fiori Launchpad and Fiori Launchp...

Hello Saurabh,

I did not implement the notes mentioned in the thread since we have UI Add-on SP15, and UI5 library 1.28.22.
But I also found a reference to SAP note 2251801 yesterday after my post and will try that.

Thanks for your help,
Christiaan

Hi. I am running into the same issue. Any clues? Thanks!!

[ChristiaanBITBW]

Hi Matias,

what do you see in SAP Fiori Launchpad Designer? No catalogs or 2 (faulty) catalogs?

Kind regards,

Hi,

We are also getting the same issue after applying patch 13 for SAP_GWFND and all the notes mentioned above.

Initially, we were not getting any catalogs and after applying the notes mentioned above we started getting 2 (faulty) catalogs which are Remote Catalog.

Do you have found any solution for this?

Thanks!

Hi Rahat,

Upgrade to 1.28.24 and follow below mentioned notes.

Hi JC, hi Saurabh,

I implemented SAP note 2251801 and now have the same problem as in .

I will implement SAP note 2272569, since we also have SAP_UI SP15 and UI5 library version 1.28.22, and will let you know the outcome.

Kind regards,

Christiaan

[ChristiaanBITBW]

Implementation of SAP note 2272569 did not solve the problem (see ).

[Jochinnabathini]

Hi Christiaan,

Please upload the UI5 client patch level 24 (1.28.24).

UI5CLIENT28P_24

Hope this helps,

JC.

Unfortunately import of 1.28.24 did not solve the problem. We now opened up an incident at SAP. I will update this thread as soon as I know more.

Hi to everyone,

the catalogs are being displayed now, after clearing the metadata cache on back- and frontend. This was suggested by SAP, but was done several times before, with no result. Why it worked this time is not clear.

Kind regards,

Christiaan

Hi Christiaan,

Its a known issue with addon SAP_GWFND SP13 by not showing any catalogs/Groups.

No need to worry about the error coming invalid configuration for catalog/webdispatcher.

The error is causing because of no proper UI5 library files.

Resolution for this issue: UPGRADE to latest UI5 libraries.

1. check your UI5 library version

https://<hostname>:<port>/sap/public/bc/ui5_ui5/index.html

Assuming it is 1.28.13

2. Upload the latest SAPUI5 library file 1.28.21 as per note 2241967

And apply the steps as mentioned in 2118663 sap note

Run program /UI5/UI5_UPLOAD_PATCH_TO_MIME – Execute and upload the file UI5CLIENT28P_21-80000549.zip in test mode.

There is also patch 1.28.24 available, there is no harm in applying that also. But dont go beyond versions, unless if you are planning to have NW 750. If you want to stay with NW 740 then upload the UI5 libraries to 1.28.21 or 1.28.24.

3. Once test mode is showing up fine results, then proceed with execution mode by unchecking the test mode and putting a Workbench request.

4. Status should be showing Tick mark for all the files.

5. Once it is done, clear the Gateway server cache by running report /UI2/INVALIDATE_GLOBAL_CACHES in execution mode.

6. Apply the note 2255972

Hope this helps.

thanks,

JC

Hello JC,

we already have  UI5 library version 1.28.22.
But yesterday, after I posted this question, I found SAP note 2251801, which describes my problem. I will try that one first and post the results in this thread.

Thanks for your effort though.

Kind regards,
Christiaan
