Question & Answer
Q: Is Cloud Foundry the go forward?
A: for launchpad it is cloud foundry
Q: which version of S/4HANA is spaces available?
A: 2020 provided out of the box
1809 onward can use spaces/pages
Need to move to front end server
Q: Can Fiori apps used with Suite on HANA and if we migrate to S/4HANA can they be reused?
A: Most apps on suite on HANA don’t work with S/4HANA; need to check SAP Fiori reference library to see which apps work on both
Q: Integration with SAC with Fiori Launchpad?
A: S/4HANA has integration with SAC today – embedded
Going forward, have SAC embedded in SAP Cloud Platform Launchpad
