I am doing some testing on our Fiori test system ( gateway system UXT and backend system ER9 ).
There is some tile which draws my attention![]()
.
. When I click “Create Material” tile, instead of navigation into the target application within the same tab in Chrome, for this tile, a new tab is opened to display the target application.
The url of target application has a parameter sap-ui-tech-hint=GUI
https://:44311/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/ui2/ushell/shells/abap/FioriLaunchpad.html?sap-client=928&sap-language=EN#Material-create?sap-ui-tech-hint=GUI
And when I compare its layout with SAP GUI transaction MM01:
![]()
I find the two layouts have exactly the same fields with the same order:
![]()
When I try to debug this “UI5” application with Ctrl+Alt+Shift+P, I found it is impossible to switch to debug mode: the checkbox could not be clicked.
![]()
All the observations so far give me a hint that this is not a pure UI5 application, but just a wrapper of SAP old GUI transaction MM01. How is this wrapper implemented?
When I click this tile, I record down the Fiori catalog id: SAP_CMD_BC_PR_MAINT
![]()
And I found this catalog in Launchpad designer, from here I know that this catalog provides a navigation target with type transaction and thus only available in Desktop usage.
![]()
The parameter sap-ui-tech-hint=GUI I see in Chrome is configured here:
![]()
And transaction code MM01 is configured here:
![]()
In the runtime, this parameter will be evaluated by UI5 to determine the right technology to render navigation target:
![]()
![]()
For normal UI5 application, its source code could be found from gateway system UXT, and for this wrapped transaction MM01, its rendering is done by SAP WebGUI, as displayed below.
![]()
MM01, sap-ui-tech-hint, webGUI, ITS, embed
