Configuration
Quick answer
Beyond individual apps, you configure the launchpad itself, theming, spaces/pages, and default content, so users get a coherent, branded, role-appropriate home.

- The recurring problems are: service not activated (errors/no data), missing catalog in the role (no tile), and missing backend…
- Activate the app’s OData service(s) in the gateway.
- Watch out: Service not activated, the top failure.
The configuration checklist
- Activate the app’s OData service(s) in the gateway.
- Activate the ICF nodes/UI components the app needs.
- Assign the app’s catalog and group to the appropriate PFCG role.
- Grant the backend authorizations the app checks.
- Verify the tile appears and the app opens with data.
Using the reference library
The Fiori apps reference library tells you exactly what each app needs, OData services, business role, catalog, and technical prerequisites. Following it turns Fiori configuration from guesswork into a checklist.
Common configuration errors
The recurring problems are: service not activated (errors/no data), missing catalog in the role (no tile), and missing backend authorization (error on open). Knowing these three failure modes makes Fiori troubleshooting fast.
Launchpad configuration
Beyond individual apps, you configure the launchpad itself, theming, spaces/pages, and default content, so users get a coherent, branded, role-appropriate home.
Common pitfalls
- Service not activated, the top failure.
- Catalog not in the role, no tile.
- Missing backend authorization, error on open.
