New SAP Enterprise Portal and HANA Cloud Portal Roadmap
We are pleased to share the updated SAP Portal roadmap 12/2014 edition with you. The document is reflecting latest news which were also introduced and announced at SAP TechEd && d-code this year.
SAP Fiori Launchpad End User Experience and Content Creation
You missed SAP TechEd in Las Vegas or Berlin and are interesting in more deep-dive information about SAP Fiori launchpad? We converted some of our SAP TechEd hands-on exercises and demos from our sessions into two product videos.

Features of SAP Portal in SAP NetWeaver 7.4 SPS 09
There are two new Portal features in SPS 9 of NetWeaver 7.4 (or SPS 14 of 7.31). One new feature solves an old problem with Internet Explorer. So far, the Ajax Framework (AFP) page did not render properly in standards mode, but only in quirks mode. Now you can navigate through your portal without having to open new windows, and enjoy all benefits of SAPUI5 applications, integrated in your Portal. AFP in standards mode is supported in IE starting from IE9. More details on the availability of AFP in standards mode in the blog by matan.mizrahi.
The second feature refers to the URL alias for Fiori launchpad running in the Portal. Before SPS 09, you had to create a URL alias with URL Alias Manager in System Configuration and then create a new display rule to assign the Fiori desktop to the new URL alias. For a new installation, there is now a pre-configured alias portal/fiori, that is already assigned to the Fiori desktop in the master rule collection. More details on the SPS 09 features: see the blog by Sibylle Brehm.
SAP Fiori Framework Page in Mobile Device Scenarios
The new Fiori framework page is the recommended framework page for consuming the SAP Portal on mobile devices in a launcher/launchpad scenario. With NetWeaver 7.4 SPS 07, there is a new Fiori framework page available to enable portal users to launch Fiori applications from a Fiori launchpad-like UI. Read this blog by Sibylle Brehm sharing some insights and experience on the changes between the classical Mobile Portal and Fiori launchpad on EP. Read also Aviad Rivlin's blog on the new Fiori framework page.
Capriza and Fiori Launchpad Integration
Capriza is a SAP partner company and developed a new technology which allows the converting of existing UIs / web screens for mobile scenarios using a cloud service. Watch this interview from SAP TechEd & d-code and meet Oren Ariel, CTO and co-founder of Capriza, speaking about how the Fiori launchpad can be enriched by integrating Capriza apps (which can also contain non-SAP content).
SAP Portal Support Blog
A new scenario was added to the SAP Portal support blog: This time a scenario is presented which demonstrates the importance of navigating in the Portal by using the navigation APIs and not the direct URL to the Portal content.
Movie Challenge Ends December 31, 2014
We started our SAP Portal and HANA Cloud Portal movie challenge beginning of this year. Until now we have received around 60 blog contributions for the two challenges. You can still contribute until December 31, 2014.
What are the next steps: At the beginning of next year the whole SCN Portal and Cloud Portal community will be able to vote in a poll in order to pick the best movie critic and movie producer blogs. The authors of the best blogs will receive additional finalist and winner badges and more points. Stay tuned to participate in the voting.
Happy Holiday
And that was the last SCN news blog for 2014.
What remains to say is to wish you a happy Chistmas, Hanukka or whatever you celebrate in the next weeks and a joyful new year. Participate in our interactive holiday video and find out, if you are nice or naughty:
