2471492 - Back button in Fiori GUI transaction application does nothing or is missing
Component: CA-FE-FLP-EU (Cross-Application Components > Frontend > SAP Fiori Launchpad > Please use
CA-FLP-FE-UI), Version: 6, Released On: 22.05.2024

Symptom
Back button in Fiori Launchpad does nothing when a Fiori Tile launches a WebGui application. In the SAP_UI5 component
version 1.96 upwards the back button is not present.

Environment
SAP NetWeaver 7.4
SAP NetWeaver 7.50
SAP NetWeaver 7.51

Reproducing the Issue

1. Configure a Fiori Tile to call a WebGui, or Web Dynpro
2. Assign the tile to a group you are authorized for
3. Access the tile through your Fiori Launchpad
4. It will open in a new window or new tab
5. Click on the Back button for Fiori Launchpad of the newly opened tab or windows, it will do nothing
Alternatively in newer versions the back button does not appear

Cause
This is expected behavior. The functionality of the back button in various browsers has no specifically-designed action in this
context.

Resolution
Any application related to WebGui, Web Dynpro, or transaction tcode, or anything that opens in a new tab or window, the
Back button for the Fiori Launchpad will do nothing for this popup window or new tab. The reason for this is because the
application URL is embedded inside an iFrame. To verify it, do the following:
1. Open Fiori Launchpad in Chrome
2. Press F12 to open the developer tools
3. Click on the Console Tab
4. type the following in the Console prompt document.getElementByTagName("iframe")[0].src
5. Press Enter key

6. We will get the embedded URL. Because of that there is no relationship between the Back button and the embedded
URL and hence, the Back button is isolated from the Home page
To prevent confusion for users, you may wish to launch the associated application in a headerless mode, to hide the back
button of the Fiori Launchpad shell. For details on this, please see KBA 2471514.
In higher releases we have removed the button to avoid confusion. If users want to access the Launchpad from there they can
click on the SAP/company logo.
Note: Some browsers may provide limited functionality for the back button (e.g. - some versions of Chrome). However, this
is not by design and the functionality is entirely dependant on the browser and version.
If you have a business need for this functionality, please submit a feature request per KBA 2469897.
