2246386 - UI_700, SAP_UI: UI5 app change is not reflected in Fiori Launchpad
Component: CA-UI2-INT-BE (Please use CA-FLP-ABA), Version: 12, Released On: 06.04.2017

Symptom
This note addresses several issues whereby a new version of a UI5 app was introduced.
Issue 1
On navigating to that app in the Fiori Launchpad the app runs with old coding. No error is issued.
Note that the corresponding Target Mapping was defined in the Fiori Launchpad Designer.
Issue 2
On navigating to that app in the Fiori Launchpad error results into an HTTP error code 404 NOT FOUND. In some
browsers you get 404 NOT FOUND - RESOURCE OUTDATED.
Note that the corresponding Target Mapping was defined in the Fiori Launchpad Designer.
If you look at the console in the browser developer tools you might find following message:
Error: found in negative cache: <path1>/Component.js from /<path2>/~<cache buster token>~
<number>/Component.js: 404 - Not Found
where <path1> and <path2> are paths pointing to the component,
<cache buster token> is a hash code identifying the version of the component and
<number> is a number.
Executing the request without the cache buster token, however, returns the resource: /<path2>/Component.js
Issue 3
On navigating to that app in the Fiori Launchpad the app runs with old coding. No error is issued.
Note that the corresponding Target Mapping was not defined in the Fiori Launchpad Designer (FLPD) but in the Report
Launchpad (trx LPD_CUST) and he has no single Target Mapping defined in FLPD.

Other Terms
Fiori Launchpad, Target Mapping, Interop Service, UI2 Cache, performance

Reason and Prerequisites

The software controlling the server-side cache deployed in the UI add-on (UI2 Cache) does not recognise in some cases that
the UI5 app was changed. Therefore the old URL is retrieved from the cache (stale data) leading to the aforementioned error.

Solution
Issues 1-2 have been officially fixed with UI Addon v2.0 SP03 or component SAP_UI SP03 rel. 7.50. If you are on SP01
or SP02 please apply the corresponding corrective measure(s).
After applying the note please execute following programs only once:
/UI2/DELETE_CACHE_AFTER_IMP
/UI2/INVALIDATE_CLIENT_CACHES with selection 'For all users'
The reports will also fix the problem once prior to implemenation of the note. However, we do not recommend to run
them on a regular basis as this severely deteriorates the SAP Fiori launchpad performance.
Issue 3 has been officially fixed with
UI Addon v2.0 SP07 (or component SAP_UI SP07 rel. 7.50) and
Component SAP_UI SP02 rel. 7.51
If you are on a lower release please apply the corresponding corrective measure(s).
