  The SAP error message APB_LAUNCHPAD081 indicates that the application parameter application_id is missing when trying to launch an application in the SAP Fiori Launchpad or a similar environment. This error typically occurs when the system is unable to identify which application to launch due to the absence of the required parameter.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Parameter: The most direct cause is that the application_id parameter is not being passed in the request to launch the application.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the Fiori Launchpad or the application itself, such as incorrect settings in the launchpad configuration or the application descriptor.
  URL Issues: If the application is being launched via a URL, the URL may be incorrectly formed, omitting the necessary parameters.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the application, leading to a failure in retrieving the application ID.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Launchpad Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the application is correctly configured in the Fiori Launchpad. Check the tile configuration and ensure that the application_id is specified correctly.
  Verify the target mapping for the application in the Launchpad Designer.
  
  
  
  Review URL:
  
  If the application is being launched via a URL, check the URL to ensure that it includes the application_id parameter. The URL should be properly formatted.
  
  
  
  Check Application Descriptor:
  
  Review the application descriptor (e.g., manifest.json for Fiori applications) to ensure that all required parameters are defined correctly.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles and authorizations to access the application. Check the role assignments in the SAP system.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  Use browser developer tools to inspect the network requests and responses when trying to launch the application. This can help identify if the application_id is being sent and if there are any other related errors.
