Activities

Activate User Default Plug-In

The SAP Fiori Launchpad (FLP) contains a user default parameter service that calls application plug-ins for the FLP. For the display and use of the finance apps delivered with SAP S/4HANA , on-premise, the fin.central.user.defaultparameter application plug-in is needed.

Register the fin.central.user.defaultparameter application plug-in for use by following these steps:

  1. Activate the FIN_USER_DEFAULTPARAMETER OData service on your ABAP front-end server.

    To do this, use the /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE transaction and add this service. Alternatively, you can activate the services in the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide (SPRO transaction) under Start of the navigation path SAP NetWeaver Next navigation step SAP Gateway Next navigation step OData Channel Next navigation step Administration Next navigation step General Settings Next navigation step Activate and Maintain Services End of the navigation path.

    Note Note

    If you have multiple ABAP back-end servers, you must activate the FIN_USER_DEFAULTPARAMETER_SRV technical services on each ABAP back-end server by listing each system alias.

    End of the note.

    The activation on the ABAP front-end server triggers automatically the activation of the FIN_USER_DEFAULTPARAMETER_SRV technical service on your ABAP front-end server. You can check this using the SICF transaction. Check under Start of the navigation path defaulthost Next navigation step sap Next navigation step opu Next navigation step odata Next navigation step sap End of the navigation path.

  2. Activate the FIN_ACC_USERPAR ICF service on your ABAP front-end server. Use the SICF transaction and check under Start of the navigation path defaulthost Next navigation step sap Next navigation step bc Next navigation step ui5_ui5 Next navigation step sap End of the navigation path .

The fin.central.user.defaultparameter application plug-in is called for determining the value for certain user default parameters (for example, company code) from the ABAP back end. The plug-in is called in two situations:

  • A Fiori app is started that requires a certain user default parameter.

  • The FLP maintenance UI for the user default parameter is opened.

The FLP has its own persistency on the ABAP front-end server for storing the user default parameters. By default, all parameters are read from this persistency. If a parameter is not yet stored in the FLP persistency, then the application plug-in calls the back end for determining the parameter value.

Activate Reuse Library

Activate the following ICF service on your ABAP front-end server by using the SICF transaction:

Job Scheduling Apps

For apps that have Transactional (Generic UI5 Job Scheduling Framework) as their application type in the “SAP Fiori apps reference library” , ensure that the UIBAS001 software component is also installed on your front-end server. These apps need generic services and UIs in this software component to run properly.

The “SAP Fiori apps reference library” is available at https://boma0d717969.hana.ondemand.com/sap/fix/externalViewer/Information published on SAP site.

Analytical Apps

For apps that have Analytical (Smart Business generic Drill Down App) as their application type in the “SAP Fiori apps reference library”, ensure that the /SSB/SMART_BUSINESS_RUNTIME_SRV (1) OData service is activated. These apps need this OData service to run properly.

For more information about activating OData services, see section Front-End Server: Activate OData Services in the SAP S/4HANA “UI Technology Guide” available at http://help.sap.com/s4hanaInformation published on SAP site.
