I followed this example and i am able to show launch pad properly. We are running on SAP Fiori Portals 7.4 SP 8. We do not have ABAP Engine and ODATA at this point. I am curious to findout is there a option to create Catalog with some fixed number of applications to set of users (Group).
SAP Fiori Launchpad on Portal – Sample Content for Administrators
Please let me know if you need more details.
Thanks,
