Additional Information:
SAP Build Work ZoneSAP Build Work Zone enables organizations to establish
a central point of access to SAP, custom-built, and third-party applications,
and extensions, both on the cloud and on premise.

With SAP Build Work Zone you can only use Web GUI however. SAP GUI for
Windows cannot be launched.

Using the SAP Build Work Zone together with SAP Business Client SAP GUI for
Windows applications can be launched from your connected on-premise
system.

SAP Build Work Zone (formerly known as SAP Launchpad Service, central
launchpad running on SAP BTP, cloud foundry environment on BTP)

Direct Access and Tunneled Access

Direct access is only possible within the corporate network (or via VPN).

Tunneled Access is possible from the corporate network or from the Internet
(for which you need the Cloud Connector). The Cloud Connector is http/https
based. The DIAG protocol of SAP GUI for Windows cannot be used. Therefore
direct access is used here.

ProcedureThe following steps will show you how to launch SAP GUI for
Windows applications directly from the ’FLP@BTP'. As an example, we like to
create an app/tile to open an SAP GUI for Windows transaction. The
transaction is stored in a remote system (here U1Y*). To connect, you must
create a http destination to this system (step 1 below).

In general, there are two ways of integrating content into theSAP Build Work
Zone: Manual Integration of Business Content, and integration of content
from remote content providers. In this blog, we demonstrate the manual
integration of apps. Administrators who need to integrate hundreds of roles
will use the federation approach, described at the end of this blog.

Create runtime destinations to access apps


To launch apps in the SAP Build Work Zone the service must know where the
content/apps are located. It is therefore necessary to create a destination to
tell the BTP where your app is running.

1. Log on to the BTP cockpit and open the Destination editor


(subaccount=>Overview=> Connectivity=>Destinations)

2. Choose New Destination and enter the name, type, description


(optional), and URL as shown in the screenshot below. You can copy

the URL from the landscape file or directly from Business Client
(system selector, right click).

https://<server>.<domain>.<ext>:<port>.

1. Configure destinations and add additional properties as shown in the


screenshot below. For example:

 sap-login-group

 message server

 instance number

 sap-snc-name

You can copy that information from SAP Logon.
