How-to Guide for Exercise Deploying the

Backend Addons (Week 2, Unit 4)
INTRODUCTION
The SAP Fiori UX instance youve been provided to complete the optional exercises is a fully installed and
configured instance. Therefore, this exercise has been written as a read-only guide. Some of the steps youll
be able to do, for example navigating to the transactions but most you will not. We suggest you keep a copy
of this exercise for future reference if you decide to deploy SAP Fiori UX into your own landscape.
BACKGROUND
Depending on the SAP Fiori apps youre trying to install and the landscape youre using depends on what
components need to be installed. The SAP Help Guide Setup of SAP Fiori System Landscape is broken
down into the 3 landscape options:
ABAP Environment:

For the purposes of this guide we will focus on the ABAP environment. There are 3 installation tasks we
need to perform:
Setup the client
Install the required components on the back-end server
Install the required SAP Notes on both the back-end and front-end servers

In this walk through exercise, we will show you how to install one of the product specific backend addons.
First, go to the Installation & Configuration guide for the app, in our case the example is Approve Travel
Requests (SRA009) using the following link:
http://help.sap.com/fiori_bs2013/helpdata/en/28/3167521338725fe10000000a441470/frameset.htm
Depending on which NetWeaver version youre running components are automatically installed for you or will
have to be manually deployed. The following steps will detail how you deploy the component SRA009 as if it
were not automatically installed. This component is necessary for the Approve Travel Request app.
DOWNLOAD THE FILES
Note: This portion of the exercise needs to be completed in SAP Service Market Place and you will need an
S-User to access it. If you dont have an S User just read this section.
1. Open the Software Download Center
http://service.sap.com/swdc

2. Choose Installations and Upgrades Search for Installations and Upgrades

3. In the Search term enter the name of the software component (ex: SRA009) then choose Search

4. According to the help we need to download the SP05 component

Download this component and any Sps and save to your local machine

SPs to the Add

On
The
Add On

UPLOAD COMPONENTS TO THE SERVER

Note: There are two ways to upload components to the server:
Load from the frontend server
Load from the Application server (for larger files we recommend loading them to the application
server)
Additionally there are two transactions you can use:
SPAM
SAINT
For the purposes of this exercise, we will be uploading from the frontend using transaction SAINT.

1. Open the SAP GUI by double clicking the SAP Logon icon on your desktop

2. Double click the openSAP for Fiori SAP System.

Note: Change the client from 001 to 000. Aslo note that you cannot use the DDIC user to execute
the following procedure. Therefore, you must have an appropriate user available in CLNT000.
In my case, I copied the DDIC user and created an additional user called DEPLOYUSER.

3. Enter transaction SAINT and hit enter from your keyboard

Alternatively, you can choose the transaction from the favorites link we created in week 1 (if you
suspended/terminated your instance these transactions will not be saved to your favorites anymore)

4. You will receive a missing maintenance message. As of 2009 a Maintenance Certificate is

mandatory to be able to patch, upgrade and deploy to an SAP system. In our instance, since we only
have a trial license, no maintenance certificate is provided. This results in the error message below.
SAP Note 1240265 describes the prerequisites and the solution in detail. Choose the green check
box

NOTE From here on in you will need to simply follow the guide unless you can provide a
Maintenance Certificate.

5. From the top menu choose Installation Package Load Packages From Front End

6. This will provide you with a popup to search your computer for the files you downloaded and saved
to your local desktop.
Note: If you dont have an S user and you didnt download the files then simply read these next steps.

7. You can verify the success of this upload from the bottom left corner of your SAPGUI session

8. Now that the Add-On component is queued, we need to upload the support package so they can be
implemented at the same time. Follow the same path as before: Installation Packages Load
packages From Front End

9. A popup will appear and youll be asked to browse for the support package(s). Repeat the next steps
for the Sps you have chosen.

10. In the Security popup choose Allow

11. You should now have files loaded

12. In transaction SAINT start the wizard by choosing Start

13. Verify the components we just loaded are displayed.

10

14. We are going to install the SRA009 component so select this component row and choose Continue

15. In the next window, choose the appropriate support package you wish to use. This information is in
the help guide, depending on what is loaded to your landscape you could have multiple SPs to
choose from. When youre finished choose Continue

11

16. Choose Continue

17. In the Add modification Adjustment Transports to the Queue choose No

12

18. View the SAP Note and choose the Green check mark

19. Choose the Green check box to Import

Which results in

20. Verify the activity in the lower left corner of the SAP GUI Session
