Symptom

You want to automate the activation of SAP Fiori for SAP S/4HANA 2021 for selected SAP business roles
with naming convention "SAP_BR*" in a sandbox or development system.

SAP business roles with different naming convention than "SAP_BR*" but containing Fiori catalogs can be
activated via task list SAP_FIORI_FCM_CONTENT_ACTIVATION.
Also business roles in customer namespace have to be activated and transported with task list
SAP_FIORI_FCM_CONTENT_ACTIVATION provided with SAP note 2813396 - Fiori Content Manager
(FCM): Content Activation for Roles. Prerequisites for business roles in customer namespace are the same
as described in this SAP note by also considering SAP note 2886433 - Fiori Setup: Activation of OData
Services in Prod Systems with task lists.

Within an embedded deployment you follow the instruction of Rapid Activation of SAP Fiori to automate SAP
Fiori launchpad setup and frontend roles generation and the activation of SAP Fiori apps based on SAP
business roles delivered with SAP S/4HANA as templates.

For general information on other recommended task lists for the set-up of the embedded-deployed SAP Fiori,
please see Automatic Activation of Embedded-Deployed SAP Fiori.

SAP S/4HANA Conversion/Upgrade - Follow instructions as per chapter [D] of SAP Note 1539556 -
FAQ | Administration of authorization default values.
• Activate SAP S/4HANA Embedded Analytics
○ Make sure logical system is set and assigned to target client (transaction BD54 & SCC4).
○ Execute 2289865 - Configuration steps for S/4 HANA Analytics
• Activate Enterprise Search via task list (transaction STC01):
SAP_ESH_INITIAL_SETUP_WRK_CLIENT
• Ensure PXA value in SAP profile is enhanced, e.g. to 2.500.000 kB (Documentation)
• Step: "Set TREX Destination or SAP HANA DB Connection" -> Make sure "Use SAP HANA
Primary DB Connection" is ticked
• Step: "Select Models to Create Connectors" -> specify software component for search models:
e.g. SAPAPPLH
• Documentation, HowTo Wiki
• Strongly recommended: For configuration of SAP Web Dispatcher, see SAP Web Dispatcher: Setup of
Communication under the SAP Fiori Overview documentation.
Additional information can be found in 2740052 - Which paths are necessary to configure Web
Dispatcher for Fiori Launchpad scenarios?
• Some business roles to be activated via task list SAP_FIORI_CONTENT_ACTIVATION (see below
section Task List 2: SAP_FIORI_CONTENT_ACTIVATION) require certain Business Functions (BF) /
Switches to be active before task list run. For further details see Special Roles - Prerequisites.

• Client-independent and client-dependent usage of task lists:

• All task lists contain client-dependent and client-independent (system wide) configuration steps.
• Client-independent: e.g. HTTP service activation, OData creation and activation.
• Client dependent: e.g. working template role generation, test user creation.
• In case of new clients in your system (e.g. after a client copy) a new run of all task lists is
required, except for SAP S/4HANA Embedded Analytics.
• Task list can always be re-executed without side effects as the existing configuration is
never overwritten by default settings.

Solution

Task Lists for Embedded-Deployed SAP Fiori Implementation:

Task List 1: SAP_FIORI_FOUNDATION_S4

Purpose:

• Activates ICF Nodes and OData services required for SAP GUI for HTML and other generic SAP Fiori
launchpad features
• Initializes classic UI technologies (SAP GUI for HTML & WebDynpro ABAP applications)
• Generates working SAP Fiori launchpad user & admin roles including composite roles

How to use:

• Implement latest updates of the task list from note 2712785. Note will contain future improvements.
• Run transaction STC01, select task list "SAP_FIORI_FOUNDATION_S4", press F8 (Generate Task
List Run)
• Check each task list step for settings and functionalities. Additional information can be found in the task
list documentation.
• While running step "Replicate backend catalog for System Aliases", the report/log might show some
warnings or errors, which usually are not critical, as some catalogs will fail on purpose. If the task list
stops in such case, continue with the follow-up task in the list.

You can validate if the extraction actually worked by checking the log output for messages like
"Extraction finished for XYZ catalogs and ABC apps". XYZ/ABC should be > 0!

• Enable Analysis Path Framework (APF) apps, by adding a missing authorization via transaction
PFCG to:
• <PREFIX>_FLP_USER: Authorization Object /UIF/LREP -> /UIF/ROLE -> APFUSER
• <PREFIX>_FLP_ADMIN: Authorization Object /UIF/LREP -> /UIF/ROLE -> APFADMIN
Save & re-generate profile
• Assign generated role <PREFIX>_FIORI_FOUNDATION_USER to every SAP Fiori launchpad user.
• Assign generated role <PREFIX>_FIORI_FOUNDATION_ADMIN to every SAP Fiori launchpad admin.

Result / How to test:

• Access the SAP Fiori launchpad via transaction /UI2/FLP or directly via url
<HTTP/HTTPS>://<SERVER>:<PORT>/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/ui2/ushell/shells/abap/FioriLaunchpad.html
• When logging in as an admin, you should have access to the group "Fiori Launchpad" from where you
can immediately start the applications.
• When logging in as a user, you should see an empty dashboard. You can adjust user settings (e.g.
change theme) or browse the App Finder including the user menu.

Task List 2: SAP_FIORI_CONTENT_ACTIVATION

Purpose:

• Activates all SAP Fiori apps (including ODATA services and ICF nodes) based on selected SAP Fiori
business roles
• Generates working template roles including authorization profiles
• Optional: Generates test users (one user per role)
• Note: In a SAP S/4HANA Conversion/Upgrade scenario running this task list will activate all assigned
services of updated SAP business roles. Already existing test roles generated from SAP business roles
before upgrade will not be overwritten and need to be deleted first before running this task list.

How to use:

• Implement latest updates of the task list from note 2686456. Note will contain future improvements.
• Run transaction STC01, specify task list "SAP_FIORI_CONTENT_ACTIVATION", press F8 (Generate
Task List Run)
• Optional: 'Enter list of SAP Business Roles to be activated (optional)'. Makes it possible to
paste/upload roles selected in SAP Fiori apps reference library.
• Select one or more business roles
• If some of the business roles are not listed in the selection screen of the task list step then
reasons for this can be:
1. Business role naming convention is different to "SAP_BR*".
In such cases please make use of the task list
SAP_FIORI_FCM_CONTENT_ACTIVATION where these business roles are available.
2. Business role is part of an SAP S/4HANA Add-on.
In such cases the corresponding Add-on must be installed first. Relevant information for
installation can be found in the SAP Fiori apps reference library.

• Notes:
• If you select larger numbers of business roles, please start the task list in background mode.
Please do not select more than 100 business roles in one task list run.
• Certain business roles have special prerequisites which could lead to task list warnings or
dumps, especially if the business functionality needs to be activated by a business function

2022-02-11 3085127

switch. Select only those roles, where the prerequisites are met and which fit to the intended
usage/scoping of the SAP S/4HANA system.
• Service activation is a generation process which could sometimes lead to failures. Starting the
activation step a second time may solve these errors.
• In case of remaining task list stops during activation of OData Services assigned to these
business roles, continue with remaining tasks (starting "Activate ICF Services (SICF)").
• Specify <PREFIX> for role creation, e.g. Z
• Optional: Create test users
• In the parameters
• Specify Settings such as user <PREFIX>
• "Self-Register ON" ensures, that the password is set to productive (no need to change
initial password)
• Specify "Add. Role Assignment": Choose <PREFIX>_FIORI_FOUNDATION_USER
(derived from previous task list SAP_FIORI_FOUNDATION_S4)
• The generated users will follow a certain naming convention
<PREFIX><COUNTER>_<ROLE_ABBREVIATION>
e.g. T1_AAAC (Based on role SAP_BR_AA_ACCOUNTANT)

Result / How to test:

• Access SAP Fiori launchpad via transaction /UI2/FLP or directly via url
<HTTP/HTTPS>://<SERVER>:<PORT>/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/ui2/ushell/shells/abap/FioriLaunchpad.html
• Assign any of the previously generated roles including role <PREFIX>_FIORI_FOUNDATION_USER
to your desired user or simply login with one of the optionally generated users.
• After a short initialization time, you should have access to the various groups and apps, as listed per
each role in the Fiori Apps Library.

Limitations:

• Apps based on the Generic Configuration Framework (sakp.cross.genericui) might not fully work.
• Apps based on the Analysis Path Framework (APF) might not fully work.
• Apps based on the Workflow Framework might not fully work.
• Apps based on the Application Logs & Jobs Framework might not fully work.
• Apps based on the Design Studio Framework might not fully work.
• Special apps like My Inbox might require additional customizing. See SAP Notes 2676990 and
2424054.

Special Roles - Prerequisites

BEFORE RUNNING SAP_FIORI_CONTENT_ACTIVATION

The following business roles require certain Business Functions (BF) / Switches to be Active. This
activation is a prerequisite for the activation of the related apps with their corresponding ODATA services.
To activate business functions, use transaction SFW5. For further information, see Switching on Business
Functions.

Note: As the activation of business functions cannot be reversed in all cases, ensure that you only activate
those business functions that are required for your business processes. Reversing the activation of business
functions always bears the risk of system corruption.
