Could not open app – SAP Fiori

In continuation to my previous blog cannot load tile – SAP Fiori, I continue discussion the other error we faced after the upgrade of S/4HANA system from 1511 to 1610.

“Could not open app. Please try again later”.

could not open app

Troubleshooting steps:

Ensure that the following steps are taken care off after the upgrade:

  1. Review OSS note 2346431 – SAP S/4HANA 1610: Release Information Note (https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/0002346431) and apply all the recommended notes mentioned for the target FPS/SPS level you just upgraded to. As a suggestion, apply all SAP_ABA, SAP_BW, and SAP_BASIS to both Frontend and Backend. While S4Core are only for backend.
  2. Ensure the scheduling of report /UI5/APP_INDEX_CALCULATE is running and if not, please schedule and run the job.
  3. Ensure the scheduling of report /UI2/GET_APP_DESCR_REMOTE is running and if not, please schedule and run the job.
  4. Ensure the following reports are also run in the Frontend Server:
    a. /UI2/CHIP_SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE
    b. /UI2/DELETE_CACHE_AFTER_IMP

If this does not solve your issue, jump to next steps:

Create RFC destinations as per SAP note SAP Note 2269272 and Replicate App Descriptors from Back-End System.

Check again if your app works. If not continue with next steps:

Compare the App details from the app launcher with the details on the SAP Fiori App Reference Library. 

App launcher url looks like:

<http/s>://mys4hanasystem<HTTP/HTTSport>/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/sap/arsrvc_upb_admn/main.html

On app launcher, you  should find the Odata (/n/iwfnd/maint_service) and ICF service (SICF) details for the app that should be active on the front end server:

Ensure that the SICF services are active and you are able to test it successfully and also the odata service is active and mapped to right System Alias.

Odata:

odata service

Note: Service here points to local system alias as I have my front end and back end configured on the same application. Please check correctness of your alias to be used.

SICF:

If you are not able to find the services for the app, its time for an incident towards SAP.
