The application name and instance ID are typically passed in via parameters after the #.  In some instances, the URL after the # may be truncated and thus another way of passing in the application name and instance is needed.



For Data Model-based apps

Use URL parameters: formName and instance (optional)


e.g.:

http://[SERVER_ADDRESS]/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/iqx/fab2/index_latest.html?sap-ui-appcache=false&formName=[APPNAME]

http://[SERVER_ADDRESS]/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/iqx/fab2/index_latest.html?sap-ui-appcache=false&formName=[APPNAME]&instance=[INSTANCE_ID]

For Legacy apps

Use URL parameters: formId and instance (optional)


e.g.:

http://[SERVER_ADDRESS]/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/iqx/fab2/index_latest.html?sap-ui-appcache=false&formId=[APPNAME]

http://[SERVER_ADDRESS]/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/iqx/fab2/index_latest.html?sap-ui-appcache=false&formId=[APPNAME]&instance=[INSTANCE_ID]
