The blog is based on SAP Note 2777142 - Composite SAP note: Rapid Activation for Fiori in S/4HANA 1809 FPS01 ver 1 please click on Show Changes to see what has changed since the log was updated. Use the blog only as a reference and follow the actual note which may have been updated.
Please find the rough sketch of steps. There are 3 sets of steps that are separated by thick line. Your feedback is welcome on duration estimates. Activate Enterprise Search is kicked off and while it is running, further steps are done.
TIP: Note 2777142 is only meant for S/4HANA 1809 FPS1. For rapid activation of S/4HANA 1809 FPS0 please use note 2704570. For S/4HANA 1709 FP1 use note 2695653
In this blog the text is shown in this COLOR it is for selection and copy/paste
(A) Check SAP Fiori UI software components installed
(B) Ensure that SGEN is already completed on the system
(C) Proper ICF/ICM setup including FQDN
(D) Ensure the system is configured for SSL
(E) Suggested memory parameters. The strategy here is to double the memory parameter until runtime errors do not occur any more. You can reset back these memory parameters after activation.
(F) Increase wprun timeout:
(H) Please ensure that web dispatcher is setup correctly and working as it will be required before users can use the applications by logging in through the web dispatcher.
In Work client, enter tCode STC01 - SAP_ESH_INITIAL_SETUP_WRK_CLIENT
TIP: All tasklists in this blog are to be performed in the work client
Please install the Notes as below in Client 000:
Enter tCode SU25, Make sure Step 1 "Initially fill the Customer Tables" has been at least executed two times. If date/time entry for this step is empty, click on the step and press execute (with default settings). Ref Note 440231 - SU25 | FAQ: Upgrade postprocessing for Profile Generator
Ensure logical client is assigned to target client in SCC4
Execute manual steps as per Note 2289865 - Configuration steps for S/4HANA Analytics as shown below
enter tCode STC01 - SAP_GW_FIORI_ERP_ONE_CLNT_SETUP
In Work Client, enter tCode STC01 - SAP_FIORI_FOUNDATION_S4
This task list activates (1) ICF Nodes (2) ODATA Services required for WebGUI and other generic Fiori launchpad features, (3) Initializes classic UI technologies, (4) Generates working SAP Fiori launchpad user & admin roles including composite roles.
Add role Z_FIORI_FOUNDATION_ADMIN to a test user.
Test using tcode /UI2/FLP or directly via url: https://vhcals4hci.dummy.nodomain:44300/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/ui2/ushell/shells/abap/FioriLaunchpad.html
From Fiori app reference library identify relevant business roles for activation. We will select all roles for the sandbox but you can restrict to only the required roles.
Select SAP Fiori apps for SAP S/4HANA, by Back-End Product, SAP S/4HANA
(A) Select all (or alternatively you can select the roles you need), (B) Aggregate, (C) SAP S/4HANA 1809, (D) Down Arrow, (E) Download
Click on Export list of Business Roles (245 roles for 1809FPS1 currently) and save the list as csv file.
Please remove the roles from below list as these roles do not contain Fiori Content:
TIP: You may find it convenient to remove the below roles and activate them separately after you perform pre-steps as mentioned for each in Note 2777142. The tCodes to run fixes are also mentioned. Some Business Functions activation maybe a time consuming task.
These roles also need fix and cause errors:
SAP_BR_SETTLEMENT_CLERK_ACM - SU24 - Auth issue
Split the list of roles into lists with number of roles less than 100 roles. Also prepare separate list for roles with presteps. So you must have at least 4-5 lists of roles that you want to use for next step considering you want to activate all roles.
TIP: You should prepare your own list of roles. I have prepared a list of roles for S/4HANA releases that is shared in the link. There are 2 files for roles that were downloaded from Fiori App Library – These 2 lists include only the roles that do not have any issues. If you get error one time rerun the same list second time. There is one list for the roles that need presteps. And there are 2 more files with lists for roles that are available in SAP instance. All these lists are available also in a spreadsheet S4HANA1809FPS1_FioriRapidActivation_BusinessRoles.xls
PRE-STEPS:
(A) tCode SU24, filter by transaction /ACCGO/SIT_COCKPIT, search for /ACCGO/UI, (1) Change, (2) select /ACCGO/UI, (3) Object, (4) Remove Authorization Object, Save and re-add.
(B) tCode SE38, ABLM_MODIFY_ITEMS, TYPE: METH, NAME: GET_LAST_MODIFIED
MAIN OBJECT: CL_SM_INTEGRATION_MPC, (Disable test mode, tick Allow Entry for Internal Usage)
You can do the SFW5 switch activation as mentioned in the note as well if you need the related roles.
ACTIVATION:
In Work Client, enter tCode STC01 - SAP_FIORI_CONTENT_ACTIVATION
The 408 roles as you see below have many country specific roles like SAP_BR_AA_ACCOUNTANT_JP , etc. There are 12 roles just with *_JP. So don't try to activate all roles as there are roles for other countries that you may not need.
In the first task, (A) checkmark first task, (B) Click on Parameter and paste the list into the box that pops up, click on OK (Continue) at the bottom of the Define Business Roles" dialog window, and then click on (C) execute.
Please see below for triggering activation of 100 roles:
TIP NO 1: Run the task list above in background (use menu option). While the task list is running, please check dumps in ST22 in separate session.
TIP NO 2: If all ODATA/SICF are activated for the first time, each group of about 100 roles takes about an hour. But if you get an error and then you reactivate the same list it should be done in few minutes. If some ODATA services are already activated the time required should be reduced accordingly.
TIP NO 3: After activating a role like SAP_BR_AP_MANAGER, if the ODATA/SICF are already activated, the delta role SAP_BR_AP_MANAGER_US takes much shorter time as some services are already activated. So as a result your subsequent lists will take lesser time than earlier ones.
TIP NO 4: If you get error first time, please try with same list second time and some errors may go away. Like the below list of errors reduced to no errors for second run.
TIP NO 5: For the subsequent activation run, if you get error Not enough shared memory exists, you can clear the shared memry in tCode SHMM. If you dont have access to SHMM or if there is possibility of impacting other users and processes, easiest way is to logout and login. If this does not work, double the parameter abap/shared_objects_size_MB = 512 as per Note 2766677 - Not enough shared objects memory exists, will require SAP bounce.
At the end of activation you should see result as below:
If you need roles below, please do the required Post activation steps. I will provide more details as I work on these roles.
Please ensure that web dispatcher is setup correctly and working as it will be required before users can use the applications by logging in through the web dispatcher.
As a Post Activation step you can revert back Memory Parameters that were temporarily increased for activation.
You can open OSS messages using component BC-INS-TC-CNT
Please mention the SAP Fiori UI software components
There is a transport capability added to the Fiori launchpad content manager task list SAP_FIORI_FCM_CONTENT_ACTIVATION

icm/server_port_2 = PROT=SMTP,PORT=25000,TIMEOUT=180
(E) Suggested memory parameters. The strategy here is to double the memory parameter until runtime errors do not occur any more. You can reset back these memory parameters after activation.
abap/shared_objects_size_MB = 512 (Note 2766677, Note 1322182)
abap/buffersize = 2500000 (Help Doc)
(F) Increase wprun timeout:
rdisp/max_wprun_time = 3600
(H) Please ensure that web dispatcher is setup correctly and working as it will be required before users can use the applications by logging in through the web dispatcher.
STEP 2: ACTIVATE ENTERPRISE SEARCH
In Work client, enter tCode STC01 - SAP_ESH_INITIAL_SETUP_WRK_CLIENT
TIP: All tasklists in this blog are to be performed in the work client
(A) Set TREX Destination or SAP HANA DB Connection" -> Make sure "Use SAP HANA Primary DB Connection" is ticked and Save
(B) Select Models to Create Connectors" -> specify software component for search models: SAPAPPLH
(C) The first task has manual steps to be performed to click on icon in Status column.
Execute task and select Background, the job will run for 60 mins.
If you get error - Internal session terminated with a runtime error PXA_NO_FREE_SPACE (see ST22) please refer Note 2149849 - Runtime error PXA_NO_FREE_SPACE on ESH software component update which refers Note 147568 - PXA_NO_FREE_SPACE
Ensure PXA value in SAP profile abap/buffersize is enhanced, e.g. to 2.500.000 kB (Documentation)
After task completion, the screen should look like this:
STEP 3: INSTALL DEPENDENT NOTES
Please install the Notes as below in Client 000:
- Note 1322182 - Memory consumption of ABAP Shared Objects
In tCode RZ11 check profile parameter abap/shared_objects_size_MB. I have this value set to 512. Keep in mind that if you get runtime error SYSTEM_NO_SHM_MEMORY or unhandled exception of type CX_SHM_OUT_OF_MEMORY you will have to increase this parameter.
- Note 2766677 Not enough shared memory exists
Already adjusted as above (1) - Apply Note 2728091 - Subfield access with a negative length is not allowed
Apply using SNOTE - Apply Note 2733638 - Access to development object prevented by system configuration
Apply using SNOTE. - Apply Note 2775043 - Web Dynpro WDA_FCLM_BAM_REVIEW_REPORT service not available
This note cannot be implemented in SNOTE. Perform manual steps:
Enter tCode SE80 => package (1) FCLM_BAM (2)=> Web Dynpro => FPM application WDA_FCLM_BAM_REVIEW_REPORT (3)
Choose Menu option Goto ->HTTP Service Maintenance (4) . You will get dialog - ICF node does not exist, the system issues the query: "ICF node for service "..." does not exist. Do you want to create it?" Answer Yes (5)

Click on Execute
You should get log below. If not execute the same procedure second time and get the numbers as below.
Execute the same procedure second time and get the numbers as below.
STEP 5: ACTIVATE SAP S/4HANA EMBEDDED ANALYTICS
Ensure logical client is assigned to target client in SCC4
Execute manual steps as per Note 2289865 - Configuration steps for S/4HANA Analytics as shown below
- Prerequisites: Check function module tCode SE37 RS_MANDT_UNIQUE_GET doesn’t return a value as below or field BWMANDT in table RSADMINA isn’t filled.
tCode SE37 RS_MANDT_UNIQUE_SET value of I_MANDT = 100
- Set parameter "without Java" for DDIC user to prevent activation of Java content at next step (which must be performed with DDIC user)
a. User parameter RSWAD_DEV_MDVERSION = '072'
b. User parameter RSWAD_SKIP_JAVA = 'X'
- Activate technical content using the DDIC user. tCode RSTCO_ADMIN, Start Installation
- Deactivate BW statistics via tCode SE38 SAP_RSADMIN_MAINTAIN adding object RSDDSTAT_GLOBAL_OFF with VALUE = X in INSERT mode
- Generate packages for OData services using tCode SE38 EQ_RS_AUTOSETUP (execute without check mode enabled)
- Activate BI_ALL using tCode SE37 RSEC_GENERATE_BI_ALL
Click Execute. - Validate the correct setup via tCode RSD5. Select "All InfoObjects"
- Please do remaining optional steps as per the note for Hierarchies
- Configuration of Design Studio Template

Assign a local system alias to OData service RSAO_ODATA_SRV and activate the ICF node
STEP 6: ACTIVATE GATEWAY & FIORI ONE CLIENT SETUP
enter tCode STC01 - SAP_GW_FIORI_ERP_ONE_CLNT_SETUP
After task completion which takes about 15 seconds, the screen should look like this
STEP 7: RUN FIORI FOUNDATION TASKLIST
In Work Client, enter tCode STC01 - SAP_FIORI_FOUNDATION_S4
This task list activates (1) ICF Nodes (2) ODATA Services required for WebGUI and other generic Fiori launchpad features, (3) Initializes classic UI technologies, (4) Generates working SAP Fiori launchpad user & admin roles including composite roles.
In about 6 mins you will get error as below. 
Please find errors below. Uncheck the task Replicate backend catalog for system aliases and execute to continue:
After tasks are completed, the screen should look like below:
Enable Analysis Path Framework (APF) apps, by adding a missing authorization via transaction PFCG edit role Z_UI2_USER_700 - (1) Click Manually, (2) Add Auth Object /UIF/LREP . Edit -> /UIF/ROLE -> select using checkmark APFUSER and Save
(3) Generate and go back.
Add user to role, click on User Compare and save.
Do the same for profile Z_UI2_USER_750
Similarly add below to Admin profile Z_UI2_ADMIN_700 - Add Auth Object /UIF/LREP -> Edit /UIF/ROLE -> select using checkmark APFADMIN and Save
Do the same for profile Z_UI2_ADMIN_750
STEP 8: VALIDATION
Add role Z_FIORI_FOUNDATION_ADMIN to a test user.
Test using tcode /UI2/FLP or directly via url: https://vhcals4hci.dummy.nodomain:44300/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/ui2/ushell/shells/abap/FioriLaunchpad.html
Click on the Icon on top left.
STEP 9: PREPARE LIST OF BUSINESS ROLES
From Fiori app reference library identify relevant business roles for activation. We will select all roles for the sandbox but you can restrict to only the required roles.
Select SAP Fiori apps for SAP S/4HANA, by Back-End Product, SAP S/4HANA
(A) Select all (or alternatively you can select the roles you need), (B) Aggregate, (C) SAP S/4HANA 1809, (D) Down Arrow, (E) Download
Click on Export list of Business Roles (245 roles for 1809FPS1 currently) and save the list as csv file.
Please remove the roles from below list as these roles do not contain Fiori Content:
SAP_BR_EMPLOYEE_TRV
SAP_BR_INTRNAL_SALESREP_SOM
SAP_BR_SERV_REP_T
TIP: You may find it convenient to remove the below roles and activate them separately after you perform pre-steps as mentioned for each in Note 2777142. The tCodes to run fixes are also mentioned. Some Business Functions activation maybe a time consuming task.
SAP_BR_OPERATION_CLERK_ACM - SU24 - Auth issue
SAP_BR_BILLING_SPECIALIST_ISU - SFW5 - Activate Business Function
These roles also need fix and cause errors:
SAP_BR_SETTLEMENT_CLERK_ACM - SU24 - Auth issue
Split the list of roles into lists with number of roles less than 100 roles. Also prepare separate list for roles with presteps. So you must have at least 4-5 lists of roles that you want to use for next step considering you want to activate all roles.
TIP: You should prepare your own list of roles. I have prepared a list of roles for S/4HANA releases that is shared in the link. There are 2 files for roles that were downloaded from Fiori App Library – These 2 lists include only the roles that do not have any issues. If you get error one time rerun the same list second time. There is one list for the roles that need presteps. And there are 2 more files with lists for roles that are available in SAP instance. All these lists are available also in a spreadsheet S4HANA1809FPS1_FioriRapidActivation_BusinessRoles.xls
STEP 10: ACTIVATE FIORI CONTENT
PRE-STEPS:
(A) tCode SU24, filter by transaction /ACCGO/SIT_COCKPIT, search for /ACCGO/UI, (1) Change, (2) select /ACCGO/UI, (3) Object, (4) Remove Authorization Object, Save and re-add.
(B) tCode SE38, ABLM_MODIFY_ITEMS, TYPE: METH, NAME: GET_LAST_MODIFIED
MAIN OBJECT: CL_SM_INTEGRATION_MPC, (Disable test mode, tick Allow Entry for Internal Usage)
You can do the SFW5 switch activation as mentioned in the note as well if you need the related roles.
ACTIVATION:
In Work Client, enter tCode STC01 - SAP_FIORI_CONTENT_ACTIVATION
The 408 roles as you see below have many country specific roles like SAP_BR_AA_ACCOUNTANT_JP , etc. There are 12 roles just with *_JP. So don't try to activate all roles as there are roles for other countries that you may not need.
In the first task, (A) checkmark first task, (B) Click on Parameter and paste the list into the box that pops up, click on OK (Continue) at the bottom of the Define Business Roles" dialog window, and then click on (C) execute.
After clicking OK for the first task, if there are errors as below, please remove the roles that have no SAP Business Role and move the others into list that requires presteps and handle them separately.
Please see below for triggering activation of 100 roles:
TIP NO 1: Run the task list above in background (use menu option). While the task list is running, please check dumps in ST22 in separate session.
TIP NO 2: If all ODATA/SICF are activated for the first time, each group of about 100 roles takes about an hour. But if you get an error and then you reactivate the same list it should be done in few minutes. If some ODATA services are already activated the time required should be reduced accordingly.
TIP NO 3: After activating a role like SAP_BR_AP_MANAGER, if the ODATA/SICF are already activated, the delta role SAP_BR_AP_MANAGER_US takes much shorter time as some services are already activated. So as a result your subsequent lists will take lesser time than earlier ones.
TIP NO 4: If you get error first time, please try with same list second time and some errors may go away. Like the below list of errors reduced to no errors for second run.
TIP NO 5: For the subsequent activation run, if you get error Not enough shared memory exists, you can clear the shared memry in tCode SHMM. If you dont have access to SHMM or if there is possibility of impacting other users and processes, easiest way is to logout and login. If this does not work, double the parameter abap/shared_objects_size_MB = 512 as per Note 2766677 - Not enough shared objects memory exists, will require SAP bounce.
At the end of activation you should see result as below:
STEP 11: POST ACTIVATION
If you need roles below, please do the required Post activation steps. I will provide more details as I work on these roles.
SAP_BR_AP_ACCOUNTANT
SAP_BR_AR_ACCOUNTANT
SAP_BR_BPC_EXPERT
SAP_BR_CONSLDTN_SPECIALIST
SAP_BR_DEFERMENT_ANALYST_IOG
SAP_BR_FIELD_OPERATOR_IOG
SAP_BR_HYDROCARBON_ANALYST_IOG
SAP_BR_INVENTORY_MANAGER
SAP_BR_PROFESSOR
SAP_BR_PROJ_FIN_CONTROLLER
SAP_BR_PURCHASER
SAP_BR_STUDENT
SAP_BR_APR_ACCOUNTANT_FICA
SAP_BR_APR_MANAGER_FICA
SAP_BR_PROJECTMANAGER
SAP_BR_MATL_PLNR_EXT_PROC
SAP_BR_PRODN_PLNR
Please ensure that web dispatcher is setup correctly and working as it will be required before users can use the applications by logging in through the web dispatcher.
As a Post Activation step you can revert back Memory Parameters that were temporarily increased for activation.
