This document covers the general steps to take when installing SAP Fiori apps. Where necessary, these instructions refer to app-specific documentation.

System Landscape

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.

Prerequisites

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/swdcInformation published on SAP siteStart of the navigation path SAP Software Download Center Next navigation step Search for Software End of the navigation path.
