• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /UI5/APP_DESCRIPTOR015 - No inbound defined in manifest.json of repository &1. App ID &2 ?

  The SAP error message /UI5/APP_DESCRIPTOR015 indicates that there is no inbound defined in the manifest.json file of the specified application repository. This error typically occurs when the application is being accessed but lacks the necessary configuration to define how it can be reached or launched.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Inbound Definition: The manifest.json file does not contain an inbound definition for the application. Inbound definitions are necessary for routing and defining how the application can be accessed.
  Incorrect App ID: The application ID specified in the error message may not match any defined application in the manifest.json.
  Repository Issues: There may be issues with the repository where the application is stored, such as incorrect paths or missing files.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the manifest.json file of the application contains the necessary inbound definitions. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Open the manifest.json File: Locate the manifest.json file in your application directory.
  
  
  Add Inbound Definition: Ensure that there is an inbound definition under the sap.app section. It should look something like this:
  "sap.ui5": {
      "routing": {
          "config": {
              "routerClass": "sap.m.routing.Router"
          },
          "routes": [
              {
                  "pattern": "",
                  "name": "Main",
                  "target": "Main"
              }
          ],
          "targets": {
              "Main": {
                  "viewName": "Main",
                  "viewLevel": 1
              }
          }
      }
  }
  Make sure to define the inbound route correctly, including the pattern, name, and target.
  
  
  Check Application ID: Verify that the application ID specified in the error message matches the ID defined in the manifest.json file under the sap.app section.
  "sap.app": {
      "id": "your.app.id",
      ...
  }
  
  
  Deploy the Application: After making changes to the manifest.json, redeploy the application to ensure that the changes take effect.
  
  
  Clear Cache: Sometimes, browser or application cache can cause issues. Clear the cache or try accessing the application in an incognito window.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Fiori Launchpad: If you are using SAP Fiori Launchpad, ensure that the application is properly registered in the Launchpad configuration.
  SAP UI5 Documentation: Refer to the official SAP UI5 documentation for more details on configuring the manifest.json file and defining inbound routes.
  Debugging Tools: Use browser developer tools to check for any additional errors in the console that may provide more context about the issue.
