Prerequisites
- Get a Free Account on SAP BTP Trial
- To integrate federated content into an SAP Launchpad site, you already need a launchpad site available in your SAP BTP trial account. Please follow at least the first two tutorials of the Create your First SAP Launchpad site group or the full Deliver your First SAP Fiori launchpad site with integrated apps mission to set up the SAP Launchpad service on your SAP BTP trial account.
- To test content federation, you need an SAP S/4HANA system on release 2020 or 2021 and have administrator access to it. This tutorial describes the configuration of an SAP S/4HANA 2020 system which you can also get as SAP S/4 HANA Fully Activated Appliance 30-day trial system. You can find more details about the process to start your SAP S/4HANA trial in this Quick Start Document.
To avoid reconfiguration of the SAP Cloud Connector after each restart, we recommend to use the system with a static public IP address.
Please keep in mind that the trial is only free for 30 days, so only request the system, when you are ready to run the tutorial.
- You need an SAP Cloud Connector installed. If you are using the SAP S/4HANA trial, the SAP Cloud Connector is already included in it.
In this group of tutorials, you will integrate SAP Fiori launchpad content from an SAP S/4HANA system to the SAP Launchpad service on SAP BTP using content federation. With this functionality, SAP enables SAP S/4HANA (and other products) to serve as content providers by exposing their business content and role structures to the central Launchpad, which makes the day-to-day operation and maintenance by the content administrator much more efficient.
You will learn how to combine federated content from SAP S/4HANA with apps from other sources like custom apps running on SAP BTP or SAP Business Suite applications in one launchpad site.
