Hello Rajat,

Thank you for sharing with us the nice document. I have installed the S/4HANA on premise edition 1511 and later on upgraded it to FPS01.

In your Post Installation steps you have not mention any thing related to Fiori configuration. Have you reinstalled a separation Netweaver Ssstem for FIori Front-end or you have installed on the same instance.

I am trying to install the Fiori Front-End on the same instance where my S/4HANA instance is running but in Maintenance Planner it is not allowing me to select that option.

Kindly let me know if we can install the Fiori Front-end on the same instance.

Regards

Rajesh

Hi Rajesh As per best practice it is always recommended Fiori Front end in a separate instance. In my case I have installed the Fiori in Gateway instance. Please refer the following documents for installation and configuration. http://help.sap.com/disclaimer?site=https://support.sap.com/content/dam/SAAP/Sol_Pack/Library/Configuration/MAA_S4HANAX_BB_ConfigGuide_EN_XX.docx http://help.sap.com/disclaimer?site=https://support.sap.com/content/dam/SAAP/Sol_Pack/Library/Configuration/MAB_S4HANAX_BB_ConfigGuide_EN_XX.docx http://help.sap.com/disclaimer?site=https://support.sap.com/content/dam/SAAP/Sol_Pack/Library/Configuration/MAD_S4HANAX_BB_ConfigGuide_EN_XX.docx http://help.sap.com/disclaimer?site=https://support.sap.com/content/dam/SAAP/Sol_Pack/Library/Configuration/MAG_S4HANAX_BB_ConfigGuide_EN_XX.docx http://help.sap.com/disclaimer?site=https://support.sap.com/content/dam/SAAP/Sol_Pack/Library/Configuration/MAL_S4HANAX_BB_ConfigGuide_EN_XX.docx

Is it possible to add instructions on Firewall setup for SUSE Linux. Also can you add instructions for username and password for first time use for SAPGUI?
