Area and Application-Specific Notes

For application area or app-specific deviations, please check the additional notes documented in the app’s installation chapter in the Fiori Apps Reference Library.

SAP Fiori front-end server 5.0 runs as Add-On on AS ABAP or S/4HANA or ABAP FND ON HANA and delivers the required stack definition and - if different from the underlying AS ABAP stack definition - the UI related software components for AS ABAP required to run SAP Fiori apps.

Note: SAP User Interface Technology (and SAP Gateway Foundation) are also part the AS ABAP stack, but with a different stack definition, not suitable for SAP Fiori apps.
From AS ABAP 7.52 on, SAP Gateway Foundation is not part of the FES stack definition anymore and can be updated independently.

SAP Fiori front-end server 5.0 (Add-on) can be installed in 5 variants (instances) 

1. based on SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP 7.40 (not released for SAP S/4HANA) 
2. based on SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP 7.50 (not released for SAP S/4HANA) 
3. based on SAP S/4HANA 1610, SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP 7.51 (required as minimum for S/4HANA for hub deployment, full support of Fiori 2.0 features) 
4. based on SAP S/4HANA 1709, SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP 7.52 
5. based on SAP S/4HANA 1809 

System Landscape Recommendations

SAP Fiori Frontend Server can be installed in the following ways:

1. Embedded deployment: The front-end server is deployed into the SAP Business Suite or SAP S/4HANA backend system directly (typical for S/4 HANA). 
2. Hub single backend deployment: A dedicated AS ABAP based Fiori Front-end Server is deployed "in front of" one one S/4HANA (SAP Business Suite) backend system. (Typical for independent and high load setups) 
3. Hub multi backend deployment: A dedicated SAP Fiori Front-end Server is deployed "in front of" several backend systems (typical for SAP Business Suite).
