UPDATE - Relevant for S/4HANA 1809, 1709, 1610, 1511

NOTE - You may still use these task lists for basic configurations in 1809 or lower, however, rapid activation method is preferred as described in note 2704570, following the architecture best practice for embedded S/4HANA deployments

If you have been working with Fiori technology for some time you will notice that currently it is easier to configure it than in earlier releases.

This is due to the implementation of configuration task lists in transaction STC01 which help perform all necessary configurations in an easy and simple manner and avoid as many errors as possible.

This blog will explain details around the usage of those task lists and on which server they should be executed.

When attempting to configure Fiori you first need to realize that there are different technologies involved, including:

  • SAP Netweaver Gateway (which enables Odata protocol communication called up from the Fiori UI to access the back-end logic)

  • SAPUI5 (HTML5 with SAP extensions, used in the Fiori Launchpad and Fiori apps) and

  • Enterprise Search (for enabling search capabilities).


Fortunately, you can easily perform all the required configurations using task lists.

Configuration of the SAP Fiori Infrastructure


Following is a table including the necessary task lists and where to execute them in order to perform the basic configurations to get the Fiori infrastructure up and running:




















































Task Task List in STC01 Execute On Description
SAP Gateway – Basic Configuration SAP_GATEWAY_BASIC_CONFIG Front-end Server Performs basic configuration steps for SAP Gateway
SAP Fiori Launchpad Initial Setup SAP_FIORI_LAUNCHPAD_INIT_SETUP Front-end Server Activate Launchpad OData and HTTP services on an SAP Gateway system
Create Trusted Connection from SAP System to SAP Gateway SAP_SAP2GATEWAY_TRUSTED_CONFIG Back-end Server Creates a trusted connection from an SAP back-end system to  the SAP Front-end Server (based on NW Gateway)
Enable Embedded Search SAP_ESH_INITIAL_SETUP_000_CLIENT Back-end Server You use this task list for the automatic initial setup of Embedded Search in client 000
SAP Gateway – Add Backend System SAP_GATEWAY_ADD_SYSTEM Front-end Server The task list creates or uses an existing trusted remote function call (RFC) destination, checks the single sign-on (SSO) profile parameters, configures the SSO ticket and creates a system alias.
SAP Gateway – Maintain System Alias SAP_GATEWAY_ADD_SYSTEM_ALIAS Front-end Server Creates a system alias for an existing remote function call destination. Configure the remote function call destination as trusted.
Enable Embedded Search on working clients SAP_ESH_INITIAL_SETUP_WRK_CLIENT Back-endServer Automatic initial setup of Embedded Search in working clients. This can take a long time, so start the task list in the background


For detailed information on how to run these task lists refer to the Best Practices Guide MAA or the UI Technology Guides:

UPDATE - Running task list "SAP_ESH_INITIAL_SETUP_000_CLIENT" in S4HANA 1610 and 1709 is no longer required, you only need to run "SAP_ESH_INITIAL_SETUP_WRK_CLIENT"



App Implementation


Following is a table including the necessary task lists and where to execute them in order to perform the app implementation. Notice that each application will also require specific functional configuration steps which should also be reviewed.






















Task Task List in STC01 Execute On Description
SAP Basis – Activate HTTP Services (SICF) SAP_BASIS_ACTIVATE_ICF_NODES Front-end Server Activate HTTP services (SICF) according to transaction SICF
SAP Gateway – Activate OData Services SAP_GATEWAY_ACTIVATE_ODATA_SERV Front-endServer Activates OData Services


For detailed information on how to run these task lists refer to the Best Practices Guide MAD or the UI Technology Guides.You can find additional information about the functional configurations required per app in the Fiori Apps Reference Library, however the high-level steps to configure the app are shown in the following table which you can also find in the Best Practices Guide MAD:
