Connect SAP Fiori, cloud edition to your on-premise backend system

[architectSAP]

Inspired by elizabeth.thorburn’s and masayuki.sekihara’s excellent blog series Back-End Connectivity with SAP Fiori, cloud edition extended demo account, I want to connect my Fiori Cloud Demo account, to my ERP backend system.

For this I chose the My Inbox Fiori app as Elizabeth and Masayuki did. To start with, I check the Fiori Apps Library to verify that the My Inbox app for SAP Business Suite is in fact available via SAP Fiori Cloud, which of course it is:



However, I also get the Implementation Details from it, especially the back-end component I must install into my ERP system:



As well as the Back-End Authorization Role (PFCG):



With this information, I select the required software components from the Software Marketplace:



I download them with the SAP Download Manager, unpack them with SAPCAR and Upload the Packages from the File System:



And install them with SAINT:



Including all the Support Packages:



Which finishes successfully:



In transaction /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE I Add the Service:



And in transaction PFCG I create a new Single Role based on Template /IWPGW/RT_WF_USER as per the information I gathered from the Fiori Apps Library:



Finally I add my TADIR Service to the Role:



Next I connect my SAP HANA Cloud Connector to my Fiori Cloud Demo account:



And allow access to the Backend Data Provider:



To access my backend system from SAP Fiori, cloud edition I Configure Destination iwbep in the OData Provisioning Demo Service:



And a Destination to my OData Provisioning Service Demo Service:



With this Destination, I configure the My Inbox crossfndfioriinbox Subscription:



Thus, I see the one task that I have in My Inbox:



Much nicer of course, but from the content exactly as in the Business Workplace:



And since in the cloud, easily accessible from my phone:



While this is just one example, all the other Fiori Cloud apps work basically the same.
