Launch Classical UIs from HANA Cloud Portal

Until few weeks back, we could only use the Fiori Launchpad on HANA Cloud Platform to launch Fiori Apps deployed within the platform and also other contents via URLs and Mobile document. Fiori Launchpad is the entry point to access all SAP applications and we see many customers  using the Fiori Launchpad on HCP to launch standard and custom Fiori Apps. However, there are still lot of customers who have a requirement to also expose SAP GUI transactions and WebDynpro ABAP applications along with these HTML5 based Fiori Apps. They were looking for ways to provide one single access point to their end users in order to access all types of applications (on-premise/cloud apps). With the release of ABAP Add-on SAP_UI 751, it is now possible to launch even Classical UIs like SAP GUI (HTML) and WebDynpro ABAP applications which are available in the backend SAP system. In this blog, I am going to show the steps required to do this.
