SAP FIORI launchpad activation on HANA

SAP fiori nin HANA 7.4 ve 7.5  kurulumu ve aktif edilmesi.

http://www.karadere.com/blog/sap-fiori-nedir.html

But out of these 5, I only had to install the 2 UI add-ons via SAINT.

The 3 GBX are not needed as they are already in the system (included in the EA-APPL).

When you try to install these GBX you get the message:

So now we have the basic installation and patching done

The patch level in SPAM looks like:

We can start with the configuration part.

Configuration general

Activate services

Activate the following services (under default_host>sap) via transaction SICF:

opu > utils > initial_logon

opu > odata > ui2

public > bc > ui5_ui5

public > bc > ui2

public > opu > resources

public> myssocntl

bc > ui2 > start_up

bc > ui5_ui5 > ui2 > launchpage

bc > ui5_ui5 > ui2 > tilechips

bc > ui5_ui5 > ui2 > ushell

bc > ui5_ui5 > sap > arsrvc_lpd_c

bc > ui5_ui5 > sap > arsrvc_sm

bc > ui5_ui5 > sap > arsrvc_spb_admn

bc > ui5_ui5 > sap > arsrvc_suite_pb

bc > ui5_ui5 > sap > arsrvc_upb_admn

bc > ui5_ui5 > sap > ar_srvc_launch

bc > ui5_ui5 > sap > ar_srvc_news

Create a trusted RFC between Gateway and Backend system.

As I said, to keep the costs low I have a combined frontend and backend system setup.

So I only created in transaction SM59 an RFC connection to itself.

It should have the nameconvention: <SID>CLNT<CLIENT>.

And in the Logon & Security tab it should use the current user.

In case you use a separate frontend and backend system, you have to create a trusted RFC connection.

So on each system create an RFC destination to the other system and make it tr

Creating the SAP System Alias for Applications

SAP Transaction SPRO > SAP NetWeaver > Gateway > Odata Channel > Configuration > Connection Settings > SAP NetWeaver Gateway to SAP System > Manage SAP System Aliases

Here we have to create a new entry.

I created the entry with the name ERP. Use the RFC destination that was created in the previous step.

Activation of SAP NetWeaver Gateway

SAP Transaction SPRO > SAP NetWeaver > Gateway > Odata Channel > Configuration > Connection Settings > Activate or Deactivate SAP NetWeaver Gateway

Here we have to choose “Activate”.

Add Gateway and UI5 Services

SAP transaction /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE çalışma ise

/n/IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE   deneyiniz

Choose Add Service.

Maintain local in System Alias field and choose Enter.

A list of services now appear who are not yet activated:

Now we select the services that need to be activated.

In this case we will do: LAUNCHPAD

Enter the Package the object shall be assigned to. In case the objects are not transported select Local Object (this is what I did).

Choose Enter.

Confirm the information message that the metadata was loaded successfully.

Perform the same steps that you just did for LAUNCHPAD, but now for:

• PAGEBUILDER_SERVICE_V_0_1
• PAGE_BUILDER_CONF
• PAGE_BUILDER_CUST
• PAGE_BUILDER_PERS
• QUICKVIEW
• TRANSPORT
• INTEROP

Configuration Fiori app specific

The app I configured was MyContact.

The configuration for the specific configuration can be found in the SAP Help.

First I activated the related service in transaction SICF.

I searched for *mycontact* and activated it:

Second I activated the specific app with transaction /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE

We see that MyContact has no system alias assigned yet:

Add a system alias.

Only fill in the Service Doc Identifier: in this case search for “SD_MYCONTACTS”

And use the created alias “ERP” (which is an RFC to this system itself, because the Gateway and backend system are one and the same)

The result:

We can already test this service to see of we get an error by clicking on the “Call Browser”-button in the left corner window.

I got the message “This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.”

So no error is shown.

FYI: Gateway errors can be show via transaction /IWFND/ERROR_LOG

Authorizations

I created a user TESTFIORI.

End users must have authorization object S_RFCACL assigned to them before they can use a trusted connection.

In transaction PFCG I filled in the following roles:

• SAP_SD_MYCONT_APP
• SAP_SD_BCR_FIELDSALESREP

For both roles I did the following:

• Go into change mode (we need the “Authorizations”-tab and “Users”-tab to be green)
• Goto “Authorizations”-tab and Change autorisation data. Save and Generate the authorizations (normally a functional authorization colleague will perform this action for you)
• Goto “Users”-tab and add your TESTFIORI user to the list of users. After this perform a User Comparison > Complete comparison

Both tabs should be green now.

We also need to add some basic Fiori authorizations.

I decided to add them to the SAP_SD_MYCONT_APP as this user already has this role (not so nice maybe, but this is just used as a demo).

So on in transaction PFCG authorization tab of SAP_SD_MYCONT_APP go to Change Authorization Data under the Maintain Authorization Data and Generate Profiles section.

Select Edit > “Insert authorization(s) > From template…”

I choose the following two (one by one):

• /IWFND/RT_GW_USER
• /IWBEP/RT_MGW_USR

After this again Save and Generate.

Testing

First I want in the Launchpad designer to create a specific group for this app.

Start the Fiori Launchpad Designer via:

http://<hostname>:<port>/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/sap/arsrvc_upb_admn/main.html

First time we start we see not much:

Create a new catalog by clicking on the + sign in the left corner.

And create also a new Group by going to the Group tab and click on the + sign.

Now add an app in this newly created group:

Click on the + sign and add MyContacts:

The result:

Now we have to go back to SAP transaction PFCG and add this newly created group to the user TESTFIORI.

We edit the role SAP_SD_MYCONT_APP which this user TESTFIORI already has.

Goto “Menu”-tab and in the button-bar change the “Transaction”-button so that it becomes the “Group”-button.

Choose the group we created in the Designer:

Now start the Fiori Launchpad

http://<hostname>:<port>/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/ui2/ushell/shells/abap/FioriLaunchpad.html

and logon with the newly created user.

There are more apps shown but this is because they came along also with the patches I installed.

When I click on the MyContacts app:

There is no data in the system as I newly installed it, but for me this was what I wanted to see: an app in the Fiori Launchpad .

And it also works form my smart phone:

Troubleshooting

During the installation and configuration I ran into a number of issues.

They can be prevented when you perform the steps in the above order.

To prevent some basic mistakes, remember that there is a need for:

• Patching Gateway and SAP_UI
• General configuration & authorization for basic Fiori
• App specific configuration & authorization
• Opening the ICM server port of the SAP system in firewall (if you want to access it via public Internet via your mobile device)

Troubleshooting tips:

• SU53 to see what autorization you miss
• /IWFND/ERROR_LOG to see the application logs
• dev_icm to see the errors in the ICM trace

Bu iş için harcanan zaman

• Setup AWS system + download software = 1 day
• Installation ECC system + patching = 2 days
• Configuration general + Fiori app specific = 2 day
• Testing and documentation = 1 day

Of course this was just a simple test with a combined frontend / backend system and only one app.

But also with this limited setup for myself I got a feeling for the steps that a technical basis consultant needs to perform.

It is also possible to deploy a complete preconfigured Fiori solution on AWS via the CAL (Cloud Appliance Library).

The steps for this are described in my next blog.
