This document provides an overview of SAP Fiori solutions and the gatepass approval process. It discusses the current pain points in the gatepass approval workflow, including delays, lack of notifications, inability to reject, and manual deletion of rejected records. The introduction to SAP Fiori highlights benefits like increased productivity, improved user experience, lower risk and total cost of ownership. The architecture section explains that SAP Fiori apps are built with SAP UI5 and deployed via ABAP, and retrieve business data through OData services. Transactional apps are connected to the latest SAP Business Suite releases. SAP Fiori can provide deployment solutions and support transactional apps across lines of business on any database.

16. Service Scope - Deployment solution Options

17. Service Scope - Infrastructure SAP Fiori foundation deployment
• Deploy infrastructure Notes for
SAP Gateway and SAP UI5
• Deploy SAP UI5 for NetWeaver
Add-On
• Connect SAP Gateway to SAP
Backend
• Configure Backend Event
Publisher
• High Availability Landscape
Deployment
• SAP Gateway and SAP UI5 are the core component of SAP Fiori infrastructure with
the capability to support multiple users and applications in a productive
environment.
• Gateway is integrated with SAP Business Suite systems and provides a set of oData
services. SAP UI5 enables the consumption of those oData services in any
compatible browser for a true multi-channel UI experience

18. Service Scope - SAP Gateway Deployment Options
1) Central Hub Deployment of
SAP Gateway
2) Embedded Deployment of
SAP Gateway
Recommendation is to use the Central
Hub Deployment, if several SAP backend
systems need to be connected.
Use the Embedded Deployment if
you only need to connect to one
backend system.
