This document covers the general steps to take when installing SAP Fiori apps. Where necessary, these instructions refer to app-specific documentation.
According to the type of app you want to use, the system landscape for SAP Fiori apps consists of different components for the front end and the back end. For more information, see Setup of SAP Fiori System Landscape with SAP HANA Database.
For the installation of SAP Gateway, we recommend using the Central Hub Deployment option, which means that you separate business content from front-end content. You therefore have to install components on a back-end server and a front-end server. For more information, see Deployment Options.
Depending on the type of SAP Fiori app that you want to install, you have set up the following software:
anyDB (transactional apps, only)
SAP HANA, platform edition
SAP NetWeaver
SAP Business Suite product
For information about the required releases and support package stacks, see .

We recommend that you use Software Update Manager in combination with Maintenance Planner to install the components. This facilitates SAP NetWeaver-based application system upgrades, enhancement package updates, and support package installation, while offering a harmonized UI. Software Update Manager is shipped as part of the software logistics toolset (SL Toolset) 1.0 – independently of the applications.
You can download Software Update Manager from the download center on SAP Service Marketplace at http://support.sap.com/swdc . Search for Software Update Manager.
Maintenance Planner is the central point of access for all maintenance activities. It supports the installation of updates and upgrades and completely manages the maintenance activities for your whole solution, and is centrally accessible from SAP Support Portal. You can find more information on SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com/maintenanceplanner.
Alternatively, you can use SAP Add-On Installation Tool (transaction SAINT) for the installation. For more information, see the SAP Library for SAP Add-On Installation Tool on SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com/spmanager .
