Steps


When running the SAP Fiori Reference Apps against a real backend you have two options: you can run them against the public available ES5 demo system or you use your own system.

In this guide I'll show you how to use the ES5 system and what steps needs to be done if you use your own sytem.

Using the ES5 system

  1. Sign up for an ES5 account

  2. Configure the destination

  3. Run the app against the ES5 backend


Using your own system

  1. Prerequisites

  2. Preparing your own system


Using the ES5 system


1. Sign up for an ES5 account


The SAP Fiori Reference apps are based on the Enterprise Procurement Model service which is available in the every SAP NetWeaver system as well as the apps themselves.

When you want to run the SAP Fiori Reference apps agains a real backend you can use the SAP NetWeaver Gateway Demo system - called ES5.

Find more information about the ES5 system here and sign up for an account. After you have an account proceed with the configuration steps here.

2. Configure the destination


We need to configure the access to the backend system in our SAP Cloud Platform Cockpit. Inside the neo-app.json file the backend is referenced as "RefAppsBackend":



To configure the destination perform the following steps:

Maintain the following values for the destination:



































Name: RefAppsBackend
Type: HTTP
Description: RefAppsBackend
URL: https://sapes5.sapdevcenter.com/
Proxy Type: Internet
Authentication: BasicAuthentication
User: <your ES5 user>
Password: <your ES5 password>

 

Maintain the following "Additional Properties":



















sap-client 002
WebIDEEnabled true
WebIDESystem RefAppsBackend
WebIDEUsage odata_abap,ui5_execute_abap,dev_abap

 

Click save.

Below you see a picture of the configuration:


3. Run the app against the ES5 backend


When you want to run one of the SAP Fiori Reference apps inside the SAP Web IDE against the ES5 backend and run the file flpSandbox.html/testOVP.html:


Using your own system


Prerequisites


When you want to use your own system you need to have the SAP Cloud Connector up and running and configure the destination to your system inside the SAP Cloud Platform like in step 2 for the ES5 system and provide the appropriate connection data.

Setting up the SAP Cloud Connector is not part of this blog post, you can find more information here:

Preparing your own system


To set up your SAP system you need at least SAP_BASIS 751 SP02 to use it as your backend system for the SAP Fiori Reference Apps. You need to do to the following - please make sure you have the rights to do this or talk with your system admin:

  1. Role/User Administration via Transaction PFCG: Upload attached Role SAP_EPM_REF_APPS_BASIC_AUTH, copy role to name ZSAP_EPM_REF_APPS_BASIC_AUTH and generate the Authorization Profile.

  2. Assign Role ZSAP_EPM_REF_APPS_BASIC_AUTH to your Demo-Users.

  3. Start Transaction STC01, select Task List SAP_GW_FIORI_ERP_ONE_CLNT_SETUP and run it with default settings.


After you finished these configuration steps your are able to run the SAP Fiori Reference Apps against your backend.
