  • Step 3

    You want to navigate from your SAP Fiori app to the maintenance view of a Business Configuration Maintenance Object.

    For this intent navigation you can use the parameter TechnicalIdentifier for the semantic object BusinessConfiguration with the action maintain.

    • You can test this in the browser:
      • /ui#BusinessConfiguration-maintain navigates to the List Report of the Custom Business Configurations app.
      • /ui#BusinessConfiguration-maintain?TechnicalIdentifier=ZERRORCODE### directly navigates to the maintenance view of the Business Configuration Maintenance Object ZERRORCODE###
    • In your SAP Fiori app one option is to use cross application navigation:
    JavaScript
    Copy
    sap.ushell.Container.getServiceAsync("CrossApplicationNavigation").then(function (oService) {
        oService.toExternal({
            target: {
                semanticObject: "BusinessConfiguration",
                action: "maintain"
            },
            params: {
                TechnicalIdentifier: "ZERRORCODE###"
            }
        });
    });
