ABAP, SAP Analytics Cloud, SAP HANA, and more Blog ¥ What are you looking for today? = 1g for Target Mapping Parameters using the launchpad content manager ED” Jocelyn_Dart PD Product and Topic Expert 11Kudos | © 7,348 SAP Managed Tags: SAP Fiori, SAP Fiori for SAP S/4HANA, SAP S/4HANA, SAP Fiori Launchpad © 2020 Aug 25 7:50 AM This is a tip from a recent SAP S/4HANA project in the Asia-Pacific Japan region. The customer had noticed that some apps have the target mapping parameter sap-keep- alive = true. They were curious to know which other apps had this parameter. How do we find them? SAP Fiori launchpad content manager to the rescue! The behaviour of these SAP Fiori apps is slightly different (in a good way) when navigating to and from the SAP Fiori app to classic user interfaces. You can find out more about Keep Alive in the SAP Fiori launchpad guide in the SAP Help Portal. But "keep alive" is not the main point of this blog post! There are many situations where you might want to track down a particular parameter for an app. Maybe you are using the same app in different roles. Maybe you noticed useful feature — such as user defaults — and want to use the same approach on a different app. Or just find everywhere that a particular parameter has been used, e.g. Extended User Defaults for Company Code as explained in Applying User Defaults inSAP S/4HANA, This is where the Fiori launchpad content manager is really useful! Simply enter your SAP S/4HANA system using SAP GUI (SAP GUI for Windows or SAP GUI for HTML). Go to the Fiori launchpad content manager in the client-specific customizing (CUST) scope, i.e. using SAP GUI Transaction /UIZIFLPCM_CUST. Launchpad content manager in customizing (CUST) scope Now you do need to know a little bit about how app information is organized. That's a whole topic in itself and you will find more on this in the blog series Understanding Business Roles. The essential concept you need to know for this kind of search is that the parameter will be held on the target mapping.Legend {Reference ME leg Target Mannings ¥ tm Layautand Structure Target —> Senin Application Conceptual relationships between users, business roles, business catalogs and their components Because you want to search for a target mapping parameter, you go to the Tiles/Target Mappings tab, enter your search term, and press the Go button. eo ne Clnt-specte Castaming) WI YY eyo paronmaveney mera “Te Target Mapping Conbnations 15962) iS Catalogs containing RW Gave Mont - Dato, Apliaton Lage, abe, Peers Chas () Toe ea SS iese Launchpad content manager - Tiles/Target Mappings tabYou then get a result list of all target mappings with that parameter. 0° ne Chen specie (Casomizing) Result list of target mappings with the sap-keep-alive parameter You can confirm that your list really does refer to that parameter by selecting any of the rows and pressing the Details button. «5000 ne re Manager Cent Specie Custorsing) Catalogs contaning nage ¢ Detail of a row of the result list showing target mapping parameters Having understood the difference between business catalogs and technical catalogs —as explained in Adding Custom Content to Business Roles — to use this information, you will usually want to know where the originals are stored, which is usually the technical catalog.

We use this transaction a lot as it provides many options Via toolbar. By reading above details it will now become more powerful. We are also exploring if there is a way to find out change log to the catalog. Developers make changes to catalog often and it is very helpful if such activity is captured somewhere.

Thanks for very valuable piece of information. | was struggling to find all such information in one place. One relatively related question - is there way to extend standard target mapping inSAP's standard catalog with additional parameters? GUI transaction sitting behind the mapping can accept more parameters which we would need in our scenario. Allow additional parameters checkbox is not marked by the way.
