- Workflow approvals
- Information lookup
- self-service tasks.
SAP Fiori runs on Desktop, Tablet and Smartphone
Architecture Overview
NetWeaver Gateway Deployment Models
1) Central Hub Deployment of SAP NetWeaver Gateway
2) Embedded Deployment of SAP NetWeaver Gateway
SAP Gateway ( Central Hub Deployment )
Pros:
Separates the business logic and the back-end data from the UI layer for the following strategic .
Advantages:
Decoupling the lifecycle of the UI apps from the back end, especially for the apps also that run on any database, which has these advantages:
- Faster iterations for the UI apps
- Changes to the UI are possible without having development authorisations in the back end.
- Single point of maintenance for UI issues, such as browser support and updated versions of SAP UI5 libraries
- Central place for themes and branding SAP Fiori apps
- Routing and composition of multiple back-end systems is supported.
- Single point of access to back-end systems.
- Enhanced security because of no direct access to the back-end system.
Cons:
Requires separate SAP Gateway system.
SAP Gateway (Embedded Hub Deployment)
In this scenario, SAP Gateway system is deployed on the same server as the Business Suite.
Pros:
No additional separate SAP Gateway system required.
Cons:
If multiple SAP Business Suite systems are used Gateway would have to be configured multiple times
Upgrade of Add-Ons in a back-end system in larger companies is usually only possible once or twice a year.
If embedded deployment is chosen, the system must not be used as a hub for additional back-end systems since this might lead to a situation where the SAP Gateway release of the hub system is lower than the version of the SAP NetWeaver Gateway back-end components of the remote back-end system(s). As a result Routing and composition cannot be used.
