App Recommendations in SAP Fiori Apps Library

While working with Fiori Apps Library, an online repository for all the Fiori apps with all the technical information, I saw a button ‘Get SAP Fiori Apps‘ Recommendation. On exploring it further, I realised with this feature, we can identify the SAP Fiori apps that best fit our needs. This tool can help us save time in the Fiori app implementation project. 

This particular tool provides recommendations on SAP Fiori apps that are relevant to you based on your business needs and system readiness to use the Fiori apps. Checking the readiness of the system landscape can be done by providing a list of installed software component versions. Further, this will show you whether all required components are already installed in your landscape. However, if not, it will display the missing product versions necessary for installing an SAP Fiori app.

According to SAP, this recommendation provides you with the information:

  • SAP Fiori Apps that are relevant to the business processes/needs
  • SAP Fiori Apps that are already installed in your SAP system and can be used without a system update
  • The SAP Fiori Apps that can be used assuming a software upgrade or database migration
  • Installations required to use certain SAP Fiori apps.

Prerequisite:

  • SAP User ID
  • SAP GUI installed on your machine

According to SAP, this analysis is based on the following information that you provide in the tool:

  • Usage profile: List of transaction codes you use in your productive SAP back-end system; you can extract this list from the Workload Monitor (transaction ST03) or create the CSV file containing the list of transaction codes manually.
  • System profile: List of software component versions installed on your systems; this will show you whether or not all required components are already installed in your landscape or display the missing product versions needed for installing an SAP Fiori app. You must upload a system profile for each system you want to check. Below are the steps for running this analysis: Log in to SAP GUI (ECC or S/4 HANA system). Run the T Code ST03.

 

  1. Log in to SAP GUI (ECC or S/4 Hana system). Run the T Code ST03.

2. Goto Workload -> Total -> Month -> Select the month -> Double click on the month.

Here I have clicked on ‘This month’.

16. When you go to the third step in the wizard, you will be asked to Select system profiles to check your system readiness. Select the correct option as per your requirement. If you have embedded deployment (i.e. Frontend and Backend on the same system), then Upload the same System profile for both Front-end and Back-end. If not, extract and upload the respective profiles. If you are not using a HANA DB, don’t upload a HANA System Profile.

17. Go to Step 4. Name your analysis, give a description and click on the ‘Get SAP Fiori Apps Recommendation button.
