how to Access sap.ushell.Container.getService("CrossApplicationNavigation") in CustomUI5 app

[govardan_raj]

hi ,

we have a Custom UI5 app, from which we wish to navigate to another UI5 App using CrossApplicationNavigation.

but in my Custom UI5 app, am getting error as on using this code.

var oCrossAppNavigator = sap.ushell.Container.getService("CrossApplicationNavigation");

VM784:1 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'getService' of undefined
    at <anonymous>:1:47

my UI5App is deployed on SAP Enterprise Portal.

Regards

I think you have to run it in fiori launchpad.

if you run it as standalone app, you won't have it.

I tired including this ffp-bootstrap.js file at Index.html as shown below

<script src="/com.sap.portal.navigation.flp.resources/scripts/optimize/ffp-bootstrap.js?"></script> 

& in respective controller ?

 sap.ui.define([
	 
	"sap/ui/model/json/JSONModel",
	'sap/m/MessageToast',
	'sap/m/MessageBox',
	'sap/ushell/services/CrossApplicationNavigation',
	'sap/ushell/services/Container',
], function (BaseController, JSONModel, MessageToast, MessageBox,Container) {
.
.
.
.
.,_crossAppNavigation:function(){
jQuery.sap.require("sap.ushell.services.CrossApplicationNavigation");
var oCrossAppNavigator = sap.ushell.Container.getService("CrossApplicationNavigation");
 var hash = (oCrossAppNavigator && oCrossAppNavigator.hrefForExternal({
 target: {
	    semanticObject: "EP--123****23-CHILD_APP_NAME",
		 action: "display"
	 },
	  params: {
			 ClaimNumber : ClaimNo
		 }
		 })) || ""; // generate the Hash to display a Supplier
		 oCrossAppNavigator.toExternal({
					  target: {
					         shellHash: hash
					  }
    });




},
.
.
.
.
.

Even then am not able to navigate.

if you are using index.html, that doesn't look like you are running in flp.

[govardan_raj]

Even though index.html is available , we have created URL iview for the same and assigned category Id of FLP .

[junwu]

just run your portal flp, go to console,check if you can get

sap.ushell.Container.getService("CrossApplicationNavigation")

[govardan_raj]

on clicking my portal FLP outside the tile area in the launch pad , and checking the below in the console am able to access the getService of the sap.ushell.Container.

sap.ushell.Container.getService("CrossApplicationNavigation") 

but the same is not working when executed from my customer ui5app controller.

[junwu]

check this.

your app is running as standalone, I believe.

check in your developer tool if your app is under a iframe.
