1 Configuration Guide: SAP Fiori for SAPSolution Manager

SAP Solution Manager uses a combination of SAP Fiori applications and other types of SAP Solution Manager

applications to provide users with access to SAP Solution Manager processes. Users access these applications

from the SAP Fiori launchpad. SAP Solution Manager has its own launchpad. Before you can use this, you must

install, set up, and configure the SAP Solution Manager Fiori environment.

This guide describes the different deployment options and explains how you can configure SAP Solution Manager,

configure the SAP Solution Manager launchpad, and run applications in an embedded deployment.

For the configuration of SAP Solution Manager 7.2, see the master guide at help.sap.com/solutionmanager72 .

SAP Fiori Landscape

You must choose a deployment option for your installation. The deployment option you choose affects what you

need to do to install and configure SAP Solution Manager.

SAP Solution Manager Launchpad

The SAP Solution Manager launchpad is the point of entry for SAP Solution Manager Fiori apps and other SAP

Solution Manager applications. Unlike a centrally installed SAP Fiori launchpad, the locally installed SAP Solution

Manager launchpad has pre-configured tiles, which allow you to access SAP Solution Manager functions. You can

personalize the launchpad to make every-day processes easier and improve usability. For more information about

using the launchpad, see help.sap.com/solutionmanager72 Application Help current release SAP

Solution Manager User Interfaces SAP Solution Manager Launchpad .

The SAP Solution Manager launchpad is delivered in the ST component.

SAP Solution Manager Fiori Apps and SAP Solution Manager Work Centers

You can access the SAP Solution Manager Fiori apps from a centrally deployed SAP Fiori launchpad as well as

from the embedded SAP Solution Manager launchpad. The applications are grouped in the launchpad according

to catalogs, which are arranged according the functions they offer and the processes that you can perform with

them.

In an embedded deployment, you install all applications when you install SAP Solution Manager. To implement the

SAP Solution Manager Fiori apps in a central deployment you must perform additional activities.

2 Setting Up the System Landscape

This section contains information about setting up the SAP Fiori system landscape for SAP Solution Manager and

installing the SAP Solution Manager launchpad in an embedded deployment.

2.1 Planning your Landscape

You need to decide which deployment option you will use and make the appropriate arrangements. You base this

decision on your existing infrastructure and the needs of your organization. For example, if you already run SAP

Fiori applications on a central hub deployment, you may decide to run the SAP Solution Manger Fiori applications

in this landscape. If you don't, you need to consider important aspects such as, which systems you will use as the

front-end systems and back-end systems.

The quickest and most effective way to install and configure SAP Fiori for SAP Solution Manager is to install it as

an embedded deployment. For this reason, this guide focusses on this deployment option.

2.2 SAP Fiori for SAP Solution Manager System Landscape

SAP Fiori for SAP Solution Manager requires front-end components, which contain the application UIs, and back-

end components, which contain the application data. Both components are delivered with SAP Solution Manager

with SAP Solution Manager. The following landscape deployment options are available:

Embedded Deployment

In this deployment option, when you install SAP Solution Manager, both the front-end components and back-end

components are available on the SAP Solution Manager system. The applications call the OData APIs directly.

This is the recommended deployment option for the SAP Fiori for SAP Solution Manager. In this deploymentoption, you install the launchpad and implement applications automatically in SAP Solution Manager

Configuration (transactionSOLMAN_SETUP).

Central Hub Deployment

In this deployment option, you install the SAP Solution Manager Fiori applications and SAP Solution Manager on

different systems. The applications then run on a centrally installed front-end SAP Fiori launchpad. This means

that you separate the back-end and front-end components. In this case, you need to perform additional set up

activities, for example, set up a trusted RFC to call the OData APIs. The set up process for this can be time

consuming and requires further technical and manual effort to implement.

INTERNAL




Setting Up the System Landscape



SAP recommends this deployment option if you already use SAP Fiori applications on a central SAP Fiori

launchpad and want to consolidate all your Fiori apps in one launchpad, or if you want to make the apps available

to non-SAP Solution Manager users, for example, business users.

Note

If you choose this option, SAP recommends that you still configure the SAP Solution Manager Fiori applications

on the SAP Solution Manager server, as this will allow you to continue using them even if your SAP Fiori front-

end launchpad is unavailable, for example, due to maintenance.

For more information about setting up a Fiori landscape as a central hub deployment, see help.sap.com/

fiori_implementation System Landscape Required for SAP Fiori System Landscape Setup of SAP Fiori

System Landscape with ABAP Environment .

2.2.1 Embedded Deployment

http://help.sap.com/disclaimer?site=http%3A%2F%2Fhelp.sap.com%2Ffiori_implementation




Components

SAP Solution Manager, contains all of the components required to install the SAP Solution Manager work centers,

the SAP Solution Manager launchpad, the SAP Solution Manager Fiori apps, and the tile catalogs. In this

deployment option, the apps do not need a trusted RFC connection in order to read and update SAP Solution

Manager information.

Database

SAP Solution Manager can use any supported database to store and access data. For a full list of supported

database types, see the Product Availability Matrix on the SAP Support Portal at support.sap.com/pam .

SAP Fiori Front-End System

The front-end server contains all the infrastructure components to generate an SAP Fiori app-specific UI in your

browser and to communicate with the SAP Solution Manager back-end systems. The UI components, apps, andtile catalogs are included in the ST-UI software component.

SAP Gateway handles the communication between the client and the SAP Solution Manager back end. SAP

Gateway uses OData services to provide back-end data and functions, and processes HTTPS requests for OData

services. Applications use this channel to read and update data in the SAP Solution Manager systems.

Back-End Server

SAP Solution Manager acts as a back end, which provide business logic and the back-end data, including users,

roles, and authorizations.

Database

SAP Solution Manager can use any supported database to store and access data. For a full list of supported

database types, see the Product Availability Matrix on the SAP Support Portal at support.sap.com/pam .

2.3 Installing your Launchpad

Depending on your chosen deployment option, you either install a front-end SAP Fiori launchpad or the SAP

Solution Manager launchpad. For more information about deployment options, see SAP Fiori for SAP Solution

Manager System Landscape. [page 6]

The following table describes the installation process for the different deployment options:

2.4 Virus Scanning

Uploaded documents are displayed in SAP Fiori apps without further security-related checks. If a document

contains malicious content, unintended actions could be triggered at the front end during download or display,

which might lead to cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. Various SAP Fiori apps offer the possibility to upload or



INTERNAL







display documents. If you use one of these apps, you have to install an appropriate virus scanner and define

sufficiently restrictive scan profiles to prevent upload of malicious content.

Installing a Virus ScannerConfiguration includes setting up a commercial, third-party virus scanning product. See the SAP Virus Scan

interface documentation for further details, in SAP Note 786179 .

Defining the Scan Profile

The virus scanner will reject all documents that are not compliant with the rules defined in the settings of the scan

profile. These rules need to disallow dangerous MIME types (such as documents with active content like html or

javascript). The documents are checked with a scan profile before being stored in the Knowledge Provider.

Once you have configured the SAP Virus Scan interface, you will need to enable the following virus scan profiles:

Table 3

Scan Profile Task

/SIHTTP/HTTP_UPLOA Checks what is uploaded in an Web Dynpro or CRM Web

Client UI.

/SCET/GUI_UPLOAD Checks what is uploaded in SAP GUI UI.

/SCMS/KPRO_CREATE Checks what is saved, in any UI.
