System Landscape Requirements

In order to be able to implement this app, your system landscape has to be enabled for SAP Fiori. Depending on the database type serving as the basis in your system landscape, it has to be set up for SAP Fiori and has to meet the respective prerequisites:

The SAP product version in the back-end system serving as the the basis for the app must be the following:

Required Back-End Product (Product Version Stack)

  • SAP enhancement package 8 for SAP ERP 6.0 (01 (01/2016))
  • SAP enhancement package 7 for SAP ERP 6.0 (11 (01/2016))
Each SAP Fiori app consists of front-end components and back-end components:
  • The front-end components of the app consist of the user interfaces and content required for launching the app on the SAP Fiori launchpad. These components have to be installed on your front-end server.

  • The back-end components of the app mainly consist of the OData services required for the app. These components have to be installed in your back-end system.

The front-end and back-end components of the app are delivered with the following SAP product versions as part of the listed software components. The required software components for the app are contained in the listed product instances:

Front-End Components

SAP Fiori 1.0 for SAP ERP ( 09 (01/2016) )
  • UI for Central App NW740
  • UI for Central App NW731
  • UI for Central App UI 2.0

UIEAAP01 100 (0009 )

Back-End Components

  • SAP enhancement package 8 for SAP ERP 6.0 (01 (01/2016))
  • SAP enhancement package 7 for SAP ERP 6.0 (11 (01/2016))
  • Central Applications
  • Master Data Governance

SAP_APPL 617 (0001 )

For more information about the installation of front-end components, see http://help.sap.com/fiori_implementation.

The app offers the possibility to upload documents. For security reasons, we strongly recommend that you install an appropriate virus scanner in your respective back-end system and define sufficiently restrictive scan profiles to prevent the upload of malicious content. For more information about virus scanning and scan profiles for SAP Fiori apps, see Virus Scanning.

Required SAP Notes

On the back-end server, the following SAP notes must be implemented for this app:

SAP Note Number

Description

1931258 Information published on SAP site

Collective SAP note for Fact Sheets

On the front-end server, the following SAP notes must be implemented for this app:

Implementation Tasks

The following sections list tasks that have to be performed to implement the required components of the app. The tables contain the app-specific data required for these tasks.

You can find the data required to perform these tasks in the SAP Fiori apps reference library at:

https://fioriappslibrary.hana.ondemand.com/sap/fix/externalViewer/index.html?appId=F0126

Back-End Server: Create Connectors

SAP Fiori fact sheets are based on search models. To be able to use a fact sheet, you must activate the underlying search models by creating connectors. Create the connector in transaction ESH_COCKPIT.

You can find the search models for this app in the SAP Fiori apps reference library.

One search model is marked as the primary search model. The others are marked as secondary search models. Secondary search models enable the display of information about related business objects in the fact sheet tiles.

For more information about creating connectors, see SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com under Start of the navigation path Technology Next navigation step  Next navigation step SAP NetWeaver Platform Next navigation step <release> Next navigation step Application Help Next navigation step Funktion-Oriented View Next navigation step Search and Operational Analytics Next navigation step Embedded Search Next navigation step Setting Up Embedded Search Next navigation step Creating Connectors End of the navigation path.

Note

Note the following system behavior:

Search software components build a stack. Different layers can be installed on top of the basis component.

Search models can be available in different components: in their original component, but also in higher layer components (extension components).

Once you create a search connector in an extension component, all search models from the original component are transferred into the extension component. You will, therefore, no longer find the search models in their original component, as is shown in the table below.

Example You have created a connector for a search model originating in search component SAPAPPLH. You have created the connector via component EAAPPLH, not via its original component SAPAAPLH. From that moment on, all search models originating in component SAPAPPLH can be found only under the EAAPPLH node in transaction ESH_COCKPIT.

Enable App for Access in SAP Fiori Launchpad

To define the access of single users to this app in the SAP Fiori launchpad, technical content is delivered, such as catalogs and example roles.

You can find an overview of the delivered technical content for this SAP Fiori app in the SAP Fiori apps reference library.

For more information about how to procede with this content, see Enable App for Access in SAP Fiori Launchpad.

Front-End Server and Back-End Server: Assign OData Service Authorizations to Users

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

Note

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.

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 copy this role and adjust it to your needs.

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