• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /UI2/FIOCONT037 - Launchpad &1/&2/&3: Target Application Parameters are not encoded ?

  The SAP error message /UI2/FIOCONT037 indicates that there is an issue with the target application parameters not being properly encoded in the SAP Fiori Launchpad. This error typically arises when the parameters that are passed to a target application (like a Fiori app) are not formatted correctly, which can prevent the application from launching as expected.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Parameter Encoding: The parameters being passed to the target application may contain special characters or spaces that are not properly encoded.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Parameter Encoding:
  
  Ensure that all parameters being passed to the target application are URL-encoded. Special characters (like spaces, &, %, etc.) should be encoded properly.
  Use tools or libraries that can help with URL encoding if necessary.
  
  
  
  Review Launchpad Configuration:

  Ensure that all parameters are defined correctly and that there are no typos or missing values.
  
  
  
  Test with Different Parameters:
  
  Try launching the application with different sets of parameters to see if the issue persists. This can help identify if a specific parameter is causing the problem.
  
  
  
  Check for Updates:
