Activate OData Services for SAP Fiori

Launchpad
The activation of the OData services and of the ICF services are required to initially set up the SAP Fiori
launchpad and the SAP Fiori launchpad designer. SAP Gateway provides the infrastructure for the OData
services used by the SAP Fiori launchpad, and the Fiori apps. An OData service has to be enabled in SAP
Gateway which establishes a mapping between the technical OData service name and the corresponding
back-end service.

Note
From SAP NetWeaver 7.4 Support Package 06, you can perform setup tasks for SAP Fiori by using task lists
that SAP delivers. A task list groups configuration tasks logically and guides you through the necessary
tasks.
For an overview of all task lists and tasks for SAP Fiori, see Configuration Using Task Lists.
The following task lists apply to this step:

SAP_FIORI_LAUNCHPAD_INIT_SETUP

SAP_GATEWAY_ACTIVATE_ODATA_SERV

Procedure
1.

Run transaction Activate and maintain services (/IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE) on the front-end server.

2.

Use the system alias of your local system when activating the following services:

Note

Do not activate the /UI2/LAUNCHPAD service. This service is not relevant for SAP Fiori.
The service names listed below are concatenations of the namespace /UI2/ and the
technical names of the individual services. Enter these concatenations when adding new services in
transaction /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE. When searching for services, you need to search either by
namespace or by technical name.

/UI2/PAGE_BUILDER_CONF
/UI2/PAGE_BUILDER_PERS
/UI2/PAGE_BUILDER_CUST
/UI2/INTEROP
/UI2/TRANSPORT

The services are activated in your customer namespace, with the following technical names, for
example:

ZINTEROP

ZPAGE_BUILDER_CONF

ZPAGE_BUILDER_CUST

ZPAGE_BUILDER_PERS

ZTRANSPORT
3.

Call each service once by selecting it in transaction Activate and maintain

services(/IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE), then choosing Call Browser in the screen area ICF Nodes. Select the
OData node, not the SDATA node.
You have called a service successfully when an XML document is displayed without any error messages.

Note
When you call a service, a hash key is generated in the background. The hash key is required for the
generation of authorization profiles under Assign Administrator Role for SAP Fiori Launchpad to
Administrator User.
You can verify the hash key generation in table USOBHASH in transaction Data Browser (SE16). In the
selection screen, specify the following:

R3TR in the PGMID field

IWSG in the Object field

The technical service name in the OBJ_NAME field

The hash key should be displayed in the NAME column of the results table.

In addition to the ICF services that correspond to the OData services you have to activate the following ICF
services manually.
