      Excellent post, thank you so much.

      My system landscape is on-premise.

      What is the best way, create a theme in my Fiori front-end or SAP Cloud Platform?

      Best regards, Victor.

      Hi Victor,

      First of all thank you. As your landscape is on-premise you can go with creating a theme in your Front-end server.

      Regards,

      Hey,

       

      good guide.

       

      We are facing the problem, that our fiori 3 theme is not shown on the portal. We had a theme before fiori 3 and the changes to the old theme apply perfect and shown on the portal.

      But we can't show the new fiori 3 portal theme on our portal page.

      Do you have any idea?

      Regards,

      Sebastian

      Hi! Hemalatha

      Thanks for nice article. We followed all the steps in our on-premise Hana system and build new custom theme. It is working fine in dev system but when transported to production theme is shown as distorted web site. Please check attached image.

      Are there SICF services or any other services needed for theme to work properly?

      Thanks and Regards,

      sap/public/bc/themes service needed activation. Due to inactive service theme did not get rendered.

      Issue resolved.

      does a similar solution exist for a standalone SAP BOP 4.3 implementation, not a cloud solution?

      Thank you.
