Innovation made easier!  Enabling My Home for SAP S/4HANA has been streamlined from SAP S/4HANA 2023 FPS02. Save time and effort by using the settings in task list SAP_FIORI_FOUNDATION_S4.

In our previous blog, "SAP Fiori for SAP S/4HANA - Empowering Your Homepage: Enabling My Home for SAP S/4HANA 2023 FPS01", we explored the detailed steps required to enable My Home in SAP S/4HANA 2023 FPS01. We walked through the structure, technical components, configuration steps, and necessary authorizations to activate My Home manually.

IMPORTANT : If you are looking to understand the structure of My Home i.e. its main components”, or its building blocks and technical components, please refer to our previous blog.

With the SAP S/4HANA 2023 FPS02 release, the process of enabling My Home has been further streamlined. As a part of this blog, we will focus on the enhancements introduced in FPS02, where Steps 1 through Step 4 described in the previous blog are now automated via the SAP_FIORI_FOUNDATION_S4 task list. This significantly reduces manual effort, making My Home activation quicker and more efficient.

Simplified My Home Activation with SAP S/4HANA 2023 FPS02

 

Automation via the SAP_FIORI_FOUNDATION_S4 Task List

With the SAP S/4HANA 2023 FPS02 release onwards, Steps 1 through 4 explained in the pervious blog are now automated as part of the SAP_FIORI_FOUNDATION_S4 task list. This task list consolidates these key setup steps into a single run, simplifying and streamlining the activation process.

Note:If you have already activated SAP Fiori foundation on your SAP S/4HANA 2023 FPS02 using Rapid Activation and executed the SAP Fiori - Initial Setup for Fiori Application S/4 (SAP_FIORI_FOUNDATION_S4) task list, the following tasks are automatically included as part of the default task list run, and no additional manual execution is required.

However, if you have upgraded from SAP S/4HANA 2023 FPS01 (or lower releases of SAP S/4HANA) to SAP S/4HANA 2023 FPS02, you must re-execute the following four tasks (from the SAP_FIORI_FOUNDATION_S4 task list ) described in this blog to ensure My Home is fully enabled with the latest updates.

- /IWNGW/NOTIFICATION (Notification)
- /UI2/INSIGHTS_SRV (Insight Cards)
Note: TASKPROCESSING (My Inbox) and C_SITNMYSITUATION_CDS (Situation Handling) are NOT included in this automation and must be activated manually if required.
Please refer to Step 4 from the previous blog for manual activation steps.
4 - Configuring Launchpad ParametersActivate and Configure FLP for Spaces and Pages (/UI2/FLP_CUS_CONF)Configures all necessary FLP parameters for My Home page, including enablement of the page, Custom Component, and UI5 Insights.

 

Step 1 through Step 4 can be executed cumulatively on SAP S/4HANA 2023 FPS02 (or higher)

  1. Navigate to the transaction STC01 (Task Manager for Technical Configuration).
    STC01 : Task Manager for Technical ConfigurationSTC01 : Task Manager for Technical Configuration
  2. Enter the Task List name as SAP_FIORI_FOUNDATION_S4 (which is used to activate Fiori foundation) and click on the Generate Task List Run (F8) button.

  3. On the next screen with generated task list, uncheck all the tasks using Skip All Tasks (F7) button and then only Select the task Activate and Configure FLP for Spaces and Pages (/UI2/FLP_CUS_CONF).

    By clicking on the Change Parameters button for this task, you could configure the following Fiori Launchpad Parameters required for My Home enablement, which have been highlighted already as a part of the blog. For now, you could just leave them as-is to default and continue.

    Change Parameters for the task 'Activate and Configure FLP for Spaces and Pages (/UI2/FLP_CUS_CONF)'Change Parameters for the task 'Activate and Configure FLP for Spaces and Pages (/UI2/FLP_CUS_CONF)'
  4. Additionally, also select the task Publish Service Groups Foundation (/IWFND/V4_ADMIN) which would publish the /IWNGW/NOTIFICATION (Notification) and /UI2/INSIGHTS_SRV (Insight Cards) OData V4 services.

    After selecting this task, only the following 5 task should remain selected.
    • Create / Select Customizing Request (SE09)
    • Activate and Configure FLP for Spaces and Pages (/UI2/FLP_CUS_CONF)
    • Activate Gateway OData Services Foundation (/IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE)
    • Publish Service Groups Foundation (/IWFND/V4_ADMIN)
    • Activate HTTP services Foundation
  5. Click on the Start/Resume Task List Run in the Dialog button to start the task list run.

IMPORTANT: As mentioned above, the task list SAP_FIORI_FOUNDATION_S4 available with SAP S/4HANA 2023 FPS02 would not activate the optional functionality like My Inbox and Situation Handling related OData services. Please follow the references mentioned in the original blog should you be interested to activate them.

Step 5: Assigning Relevant Authorizations via a PFCG Role

 

The role creation and authorization setup for My Home in SAP S/4HANA 2023 FPS02 remains the same as FPS01. You can follow the same steps described in the previous blog to create and configure the required PFCG role.

For a quick summary, here are the key steps:

  1. Create a PFCG security role (e.g., Z_SR_MY_HOME)

    • Navigate to transaction PFCG, enter a role name, and click Create Single Role.
    • Provide a role description and switch to the Menu tab.

  2. Add the Required OData Services

    • TASKPROCESSING (for My Inbox)
    • C_SITNMYSITUATION_CDS (for Situations)
    • INTEROP (for personalization, should already be active)
    • /UI2/INSIGHTS_CARDS_READ_SRV (for Insights Cards)

  3. Assign Target Mappings for My Inbox and My Situations

    • Use SAP Fiori Launchpad Content Manager (UI2/FLPCM_CUST).
    • Create a Launchpad Catalog (Z_BC_MY_HOME).
    • Add Target Mappings for My Inbox (F0862) and My Situations (F4154).

  4. Assign the Role to Users

    • Open the Role Maintenance transaction PFCG, go to the User tab, and assign the role to business users.

Note: Ensure that users have business roles containing spaces and pages, so My Home functions correctly.
