Fiori gateway deployment for SRM

[Former Member]

Hi

Been trying to figure out how the gateway deployment for the SRM fiori apps should be.

All through the SAP help for Fiori I see that the SAP recommended method is a Central Deployment. And some other SAP docs say that the deployment is SRM independent

But I also see that for the SRM UI addon is a prereq for SRM Fiori and that the UI addon needs a local deployment of the gateway.

So does that mean for SRM Fiori we would need a local gateway instance.

So if I were to use ECC and SRM Fiori I would need two separate Gateway instances?

Can some one advice?

Thanks

Hi Thushar,

What is the technical name for the package? Are you talking about UIX01SRM?

Hi Masa

Yepp. UIX01SRM.

I guess two of the apps needs the SRM UI addon SRMNXP?

Thanks

Hi Thushar,

I think it is not a prerequisite for Fiori UIX01SRM but it is a prerequisite for SRMNXP01 which is for SRM backend itself.

You just need those Gateway technical components at installation time. Only IW_BEP in SRM server is used at runtime for Fiori. SRMNXP01 is not only for Fiori, so we have to follow SRMNXP01 prerequisites,

Hi Masa

Thank you for your response

Understood. But SRMNXP is a prereq for SRM Fiori. And SRMNXP needs a local deployement. And Fiori reuses these gateway services.

So indirectly, logic would mean that I use the local deployment for the Fiori as well.

So the the choice between local and hub doesn't really hold good for SRM right?

If I were to say already have a hub deployment for ECC. And i need to start using the SRM Fiori apps.

a. Is there any way I can reuse the central deployment for the gateway or in other words what would be the best way or only way forward

b. If i were to have say only Approve shopping carts, i assume SRMNXP is not a pre req and hence I can use the central gateway and install the front end components on it?

c. If i were to use the other two apps I would need to have SRMNXP. In this case would I install the UI components locally or the central hub?

Hope the questions make sense. I cant really get around the fact that even though SRMNXP is mandatory for two of the apps and the SAP Help on Fiori says so.. there is no tip on how to handle a situation where someone would deploy both the ECC and SRM Fiori and how the gateway deployment would be then. Does it then make sense that you have a central hub solely for the ECC apps (unless we are using some other suite component that doesn't have a prereq like SRMNXP for SRM) ?

Thank you for the patient reading.

Hi Thushar,

You should take central hub deployment.

1 Gateway connects to ERP and SRM.

Subset of Gateway components are required on SRM because of SRMNXP01 installation. It is not used for runtime but it is technically required for installation time.

Thank you Masa. That resolves my query.

Hello Masayuki and Thushar;

Im also trying to implement the FIORI SRM apps (Approve SC, Track SC and My SC) but same as Thushar, I was very confused about the gateway deployment method, for the exactly the same reasons Thushar already mentioned.  So if i understood correctly:

1. I should install Gateway components , central UI components  and SRM specificUI elements in the front end server (central hub deployment).
2. In the back end server, I need to install the FIORI SRM applications, and for My SC app and Track SC app I need to install component SRMNXP01 and only component IW_BEP of Gateway, right? or should I install all Gateways components in SRM server as well?
3. What about the central UI componentes( UI2_700 100, UI2_701 100, UI_INFRA 100, UI2_FND 100, UI2_SRCV 100, UISAPUI5 100) these are needed to install also in the SRM server, or only in the front end server?

Thanks in advance for your comments.

Best regards to both of you.

PS: @Thushar: How went your FIORI apps implementation?
