System Landscape Requirements

Before you start to implement the app, ensure that your system landscape has been set up to enable SAP Fiori. This also implies that the front-end components and back-end components for your app are already available in this system landscape:

For more information about how to activate the ICF service, see Front-End Server: Activate ICF Services of SAPUI5 Application (for transactional apps) or Activate ICF Service of BSP Application (fact sheets).

Front-End Server: Enable App for Access in SAP Fiori Launchpad

There are several steps to be performed to enable the app for access in the SAP Fiori launchpad. You require the listed data to perform these steps.

The SAP Fiori launchpad is the entry point to SAP Fiori apps. From a user perspective, it displays those SAP Fiori apps that have been assigned to the catalog designed for this user's role.

This presupposes that an administrator has made the necessary assignments in the launchpad designer to enable a user's access to the respective SAP Fiori apps in the SAP Fiori launchpad. For more information, see Setup of Catalogs, Groups, and Roles in the SAP Fiori Launchpad.

SAP delivers technical catalogs for groups of SAP Fiori apps as repositories to create your own catalogs in the launchpad designer. Along with these catalogs, more technical content is delivered for each SAP Fiori app. You can find the delivered technical content for each SAP Fiori app in the SAP Fiori apps reference library at   https://www.sap.com/fiori-apps-library  .

Front-End Server and Back-End Server: Assign Role with OData Service Authorization to Users

To grant specific users access to OData services, you have to assign roles (including OData service authorization for the app) to your users. You have to make the assignment on the back-end server and on the front-end server:

  • On the back-end server, a dedicated authorization role (PFCG role) for the OData service is delivered as an example. You can adjust this role according to your needs.

  • On the front-end server, you can assign the OData service authorization to a new or existing role, such as a business role that has been adjusted according to your needs.

You need to manually assign the S_SERVICE authorization object to the PFCG role. For more information, see SAP Note 2034896Information published on SAP site.

You can assign the OData service authorization to a business role, for example, the delivered business role SAP_SFIN_BCR_PAYABLES_CLERK.

You must assign OData service authorizations for the app to your users.

Caution Caution

Several authorization default values are connected to the OData service. To ensure that all these default values are assigned to a user, you have to follow the instructions given under the documentation links provided.

End of the caution.

Make the assignment on the back-end server and on the front-end server:
