openSAP How-to Guide for Exercise – Deploying the Frontend Addon’s (Week 2, Unit 6)

INTRODUCTION

The SAP Fiori UX instance you’ve been provided to complete the optional exercises is a fully installed and configured instance. Therefore, this exercise has been written as a read-only guide. Some of the steps you’ll be able to do, for example navigating to the transactions but most you will not. We suggest you keep a copy of this exercise for future reference if you decide to deploy SAP Fiori UX into your own landscape. In ‚real life‘ scenarios, SAP strongly recommends the use of the Maintenance Optimizer transaction in Solution Manager to ensure that all the dependencies are addressed and the stack remains consistent. BACKGROUND

For the purposes of this guide we will focus on the ABAP environment. There are 3 installation tasks we need to perform:

Install the required components on the front-end server

Install the required SAP Notes on both the back-end and front-end servers

Setup the client This guide will focus on the necessary process to deploy the front-end add-ons, of which there are 3 areas:

Install SAP Gateway

Install Central Specific UI Components

Install Product-Specific UI Components

In this walk through exercise, we will show you how to install one of the SAP Gateway components and one of the product specific UI components. First, go to the Installation of SAP Gateway in the SAP Help Guides using the following link: http://help.sap.com/fiori_bs2013/helpdata/en/0b/b44a52a5b9d230e10000000a44538d/content.htm?frameset=/en/71/183b5394bc6657e10000000a44538d/frameset.htm&current_toc=/en/40/1b675374bc6655e10000000a423f68/plain.htm&node_id=9 Depending on which NetWeaver Gateway version you’re running depends on how you install the components. For example, if you’re running SAP NetWeaver 7.40 SPS07 or higher the necessary components are automatically installed for you. The following steps will detail how you deploy the component IW_PGW if it were not automatically installed. This component is necessary for the Approve Request app. DOWNLOAD THE FILES

Note: This portion of the exercise needs to be completed in SAP Service Market Place and you will need an S-User to access it. If you don’t have an S User just read this section.

1. Open the Software Download Center http://service.sap.com/swdc

2. Choose Installations and Upgrades Search for Installations and Upgrades

3. In the Search term enter the name of the software component (ex: IWPGW) then choose ‚Search‘

UPLOAD COMPONENTS TO THE SERVER

Note: There are two ways to upload components to the server:

Load from the frontend server

Load from the Application server (for larger files we recommend loading them tot he application server)

Additionally there are two transactions you can use:

SPAM

SAINT For the purposes of this exercise we will be uploading from the frontend using transaction SAINT.

1. Open the SAP GUI by double clicking the SAP Logon icon on your desktop

2. Double click the openSAP for Fiori SAP System and enter your user credntials (Bpinst/Welcome1) Note: Change the client from 001 to 000. The DDIC user cannot be used in this activity.Therefore I have created a separate user called DEPLOYUSER (which is a copy of the DDIC user).

3. Enter transaction SAINT and hit enter from your keyboard Alternatively, you can choose the transaction from the favorites link we created in week 1 (if you suspended/terminated your instance these transactions will not be saved to your favorites anymore)

4. You will receive a missing maintenance message. As of 2009 a Maintenance Certificate is mandatory to be able to patch, upgrade and deploy to an SAP system. In our instance, since we only have a trial license, no maintenance certificate is provided. This results in the error message below. SAP Note 1240265 describes the prerequisites and the solution in detail. Choose the green check box

5. From the top menu choose Installation Package – Load Packages – From Front End
