How to deploy multiple intents of same Fiori app to Work Zone

[MikeDoyle]

I am migrating a custom Fiori app from Neo (Portal Service) to Cloud Foundry (Work Zone, Standard Edition). The app has 4 different tiles in Neo. There are 2 different variants of information to be displayed. Additionally there is a mode for each user to see their own data and a mode for a central finance team to see data for everyone. Hence 2 x 2 = 4 tiles in Neo.

For now I am just trying to deploy 2 intents to Work Zone. I deploy my single MTA, then I hit the Update Content button against the HTML5 Apps channel in the Channel Manager.

I expect to see 2 apps in the Content Explorer however I only see 1. Now, as a workaround I can create a local copy of the app that does appear, varying the text and the parameters. However I would like to avoid this step and simply have all the apps created after MTA deployment.

Has anyone got this to work? Or is it a known issue (or worse, 'a feature')?

Here is a sanitised extract from the sap.app section of my manifest.json

            "inbounds": {

                            }

                    "subTitle": "",
                    "icon": "sap-icon://capital-projects"
                }
            }
        }

I note this older unanswered question, which is essentially asking the same question, but about a predecessor product.

I think this is a limitation SAP Work Zone, Standard Edition. Unfortunately the documentation Expose HTML5 Applications in SAP Build Work Zone, standard edition doesn't address this topic. I would suggest creating a case.

Hello Mike,

How to create a local copy of the app deployed as MTA. We can see the option for Channel = HTML5 Apps and not for MTA.

Can you share steps to create

Satish

Satish, my UI5 app is deployed via MTA as an HTML5 application and appears under the HTML5 Apps channel. I drill down to the app then select Create a Local Copy.

Hi Mike, did you ever find a solution for this to do what you intended? Or get any official feedback from SAP saying it’s not possible?

Thanks,

Brendan
