SAP Fiori launchpad configuration steps

Background:

There are several posts “I got this error” or “I do not see any tile in launchpad” on SCN. Consultants have no idea how to troubleshoot.

Most of root causes were basic error like installation was incorrect , mandatory notes were missing and launchpad was not configured.

Lessons Learned:

Check everything from basics. Consultants should know how to troubleshoot.

Step 1. Installation and Notes

• Install UI add-on SP10. SAPUI5 library is 1.24.*.
• Apply mandatory notes. Please go through each note description. Some notes are information note and point other notes.
  • SAP Fiori – UI Add-on SP10 notes list
• Install Fiori apps UI components.
  • Find out UI component name from SAP Fiori Apps – SAP Library

              Example: Approve Purchase Order. It says UI component is UIX01EAP.             

• Apply app mandatory notes. See above screenshot from help.sap.com.

Step 2. Configure launchpad.

• Maintaining SAP NetWeaver Gateway OData Services – User Interface Add-On for SAP NetWeaver – SAP Library
• SICF Services – User Interface Add-On for SAP NetWeaver – SAP Library
• Configuring Authorization Roles – User Interface Add-On for SAP NetWeaver – SAP Library

Step 3. Find the roles from App Catalog

• SAP Fiori Apps – SAP Library
• App Implementation: Approve Purchase Orders – SAP Fiori Apps – SAP Library

• Group role is Business Role -> SAP_MM_BCR_Buyer_X1
• Catalog role is Technical Role -> SAP_MM_TCR_T_X1

Step 4. Assign the roles to users

• If you can not find the Group/Catalog roles on Gateway server, it means you have not installed Fiori app UI components. Go back step 1.
