Getting Started with SAP Fiori: My Admin Blueprint for a Clean Setup

 

Overview:
When I first tackled SAP Fiori, I realized it wasn’t just a UI upgrade—it was a shift in how users interact with SAP. As a Basis admin, my job was to ensure the foundation was solid. That meant understanding the architecture, preparing the landscape, and activating the right components.

Key OSS Note:
📌 SAP Note 2886433 – SAP Fiori Foundation S4 Task List
This note outlines the task list SAP_FIORI_FOUNDATION_S4, which automates the activation of core Fiori components in S/4HANA. It saved me hours of manual work by bundling services, roles, and Launchpad configurations into one guided process.

Deep Dive:

• The note explains prerequisites like SAP_UI and Gateway setup.
• It includes a checklist for verifying activated services and catalogs.
• I used transaction STC01 to run the task list and monitored logs for errors.

My Takeaway:
Start with the foundation. This OSS Note is your launchpad—it ensures the system is ready before you even touch the apps.
