      Hi Koti,

      I do have a Fiori standalone server on Netweaver 7.52 with components
      UISAFND1, UISERP01 and UISSB001 installed.

      But however, I can not find the service  BSANLY_APF_RUNTIME_SRV there.
      Not in transaction /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE  and not in SICF.

      Also not on the Backend-System which is a Business Suite on HANA on 7.50.

      What needs to be setup to get the service available and on which system,
      the frontend or the backend system?

      Viele Grüsse,
      Klaus
