 Settings Needed for All Apps

 

Each SAP Fiori app consists of front-end components (such as the user interface) and back-end components (such as the OData service).

SAP Fiori for SAP S/4HANA Finance contains the front-end components for a bundle of SAP Fiori apps and has to be installed on your ABAP front-end server. To be able to implement and use the apps, you have to ensure that the corresponding back-end components of these apps are active on your ABAP back-end server.

For more information about the necessary system landscape components, see the “Administrator’s Guide for SAP S/4HANA Finance” on SAP Help Portal at Start of the navigation path http://help.sap.com/sfin300Information published on SAP site Next navigation step Installation and Upgrade Information End of the navigation path.

Activities

The following activities involve configuration that is specific to SAP S/4HANA Finance. These steps have to be followed in addition to those explained in the general Fiori app implementation information, which is available on the SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com/fiori_implementationInformation published on SAP site. These activities are relevant for implementation teams working on a new installation and an upgrade.

Activate OData Services

User Default Parameters

The SAP Fiori launchpad (FLP) contains a user default parameter service that calls application plug-ins. For the display and use of the apps delivered with SAP Fiori for SAP S/4HANA Finance, 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.

    Add this service using the /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE transaction. 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 automatically triggers the activation of the FIN_USER_DEFAULTPARAMETER_SRV technical service on your ABAP front-end server. You can check this on your ABAP back-end server 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.

Reuse Library

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

UI Technology

Apps accessed from the SAP Fiori launchpad can use UI technologies other than SAPUI5, for example, Web Dynpro and Design Studio. Apart from the activities specified above, the detailed implementation steps may differ depending on the UI technology used. For more information, see Apps with Other UI Types and the implementation document for the specific app.
