CirrusIrule Vs rewrite - FQDN hostname
MVPSorry for the ambiguous reply. No you can do it with one iRule and one when HTTP_REQUEST block containing all the replacement logic you need.
Two iRules can work too but there is no need to go this way in your case.
CirrusOk copy. Let me try and report back.

One last thing, there is a port needed for the pool side connection

Below is what I have in 1 irule. Fails because the backend server is expecting---https://ServerName.Domain.com:8443/etc/bc/ui5_ui5/ui2/ushell/shells/abap/something.html"
But I want the client browser to have the below once the server completes its jobs post request.
https://FQDN/etc/bc/ui5_ui5/ui2/ushell/shells/abap/something.html
Hope this makes sense.
when HTTP_REQUEST {
# Check if requested host doesn't start with www.example.com
if {not ([string tolower [HTTP::host]] starts_with "https://FQDN/")}{# Replace the host header value with newhost.example.com
HTTP::header replace Host "https://ServerName.Domain.com:8443/"
if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/" } {
set uri [string map -nocase {"/" "/etc/bc/ui5_ui5/ui2/ushell/shells/abap/something.html"} [HTTP::uri]]
HTTP::uri $uri
}
}

You don't need to specify https nor the port on the host header, cause those are specified elsewhere, https is by using a ssl servers profile and the port is at the pool member.
Alsop testing if uri starts with / is useless since all uris stars with /.
If I understand correctly your requirement, why not first redirecting user to target path, then doing just the host replacement.
Something like this that :
when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::uri] equals "/"} { HTTP::redirect "https://[HTTP::host]/your/full/path/something.html" } else { HTTP::header replace Host ServerName.Domain.com } }
