/UI2/FLC

/UI2/FLC is the transaction for Fiori Launchpad Checks, a report that lists SAP Fiori launchpad content by development package and flags consistency errors in catalogs, groups, tiles and target mappings. /UI2/FLC finds broken references before users do, but SAP documents it as deprecated from ABAP platform 2025 in favor of newer content tools.

What does /UI2/FLC do?

/UI2/FLC reads all launchpad content in the selected development packages and returns it as one ALV list, with errors and warnings next to the objects they concern. It serves two purposes:

  • Troubleshooting: standard content problems, each with a test ID and a suggested place to fix it.
  • Analysis: which catalogs exist per area, which tiles and target mappings no role uses, which application types a catalog references.

For a given user, the report can also show whether the content sits in a PFCG role assigned to that user. /UI2/FLC is a content inventory with built-in consistency rules, not a single-user navigation test.

What do the /UI2/FLC check IDs mean?

Check groupTypical findingsWhere to fix
CAT (catalogs)No software component or package; empty catalogLaunchpad app manager or the deprecated designer
GRP (groups)Empty group; tile in a group points to a deleted originalLaunchpad designer; consider spaces and pages
TM (target mappings)Semantic object missing; no action; LPD_CUST launchpad missing; wrong SAPUI5 component; broken reference; system alias issuesLaunchpad app manager; system alias settings
AP (tiles)Semantic object missing; empty action; no valid target mapping in the same catalog; broken reference; ICF service missing or inactiveLaunchpad app manager; SICF
LP (LPD_CUST)Inconsistent launchpad definitionsLPD_CUST

Information rows carry test IDs starting with INFO. Errors in the TM and AP groups are the ones that break navigation for users, so /UI2/FLC results are best read from those groups first.

How do you use /UI2/FLC step by step?

Alder Manufacturing transports a new purchasing catalog and wants to check it before go-live:

  1. Start /UI2/FLC in the system that holds the launchpad content.
  2. Select the adaptation layer: Configuration (client-independent), Customizing (layered) to see whether customizing overwrites configuration, or Customizing (only).
  3. Filter by catalog ID or development package; select Include Subpackages for a structure package.
  4. Optionally enter a user and select Restrict to Assigned Roles.
  5. Run the report and switch to a predefined layout that shows only errors.
  6. Fix each error where the table suggests, then run /UI2/FLC again.

Running the same selection before and after a transport makes /UI2/FLC a simple quality gate for launchpad content.

Is /UI2/FLC deprecated, and what replaces it?

Yes, in recent releases. The ABAP platform 2025 documentation marks content checks with /UI2/FLC as deprecated and points to two tools instead; the 2023 documentation carries no such note.

  • Launchpad content manager (/UI2/FLPCM_CUST): displays issues while loading catalogs, such as unresolved references and differences between configuration and customizing scope.
  • Launchpad content aggregator (/UI2/FLPCA, or /UI2/FLPCA_USER per user): lists the content of roles, including tiles, target mappings, OData services and ICF services.

For pages, /UI2/CHECK_PAGE_REFS finds broken tile and target mapping references, and /UI2/FLC1 finds orphaned catalogs and groups. Teams on older releases can keep using /UI2/FLC, but new runbooks should be built on its successors.

/UI2/FLC vs. /UI2/FLIA vs. /UI2/FLPCA: what is the difference?

FAQ

Should I still use /UI2/FLC?

On releases where it is not deprecated, /UI2/FLC remains a practical consistency check. From ABAP platform 2025, SAP recommends the launchpad content manager and the launchpad content aggregator instead, so new procedures should use those tools; check the documentation of later releases before relying on /UI2/FLC.

Why does /UI2/FLC report a tile without a valid target mapping?

Check AP04 flags a tile whose semantic object and action have no matching target mapping in the same catalog. The target mapping may exist in another catalog, which works only if every user holds both catalogs. Adding the target mapping to the tile's catalog removes the dependency.

What is the difference between Customizing (layered) and Customizing (only)?

Customizing (layered) shows client-specific content on top of the client-independent configuration, so you can see where customizing overwrites delivered content. Customizing (only) shows just the client-specific layer. Configuration shows the client-independent layer alone.

Does /UI2/FLC work in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition?

No. /UI2/FLC is a back-end report for ABAP-based launchpads on-premise and in Private Edition. In Public Edition, SAP manages launchpad content, and customers work with business roles and catalogs in administration apps instead.
