he blog is based on SAP Note 3236624 - Composite SAP note: Rapid Activation for SAP Fiori in SAP S/4HANA 2022
Please use this 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. Activate Enterprise Search (A) is kicked off and while it is running, you can do steps in group (B). And after enterprise search task is completed you can do tasks in group (C).
TIP: For notes applicable to other releases, please check the SAP Note 2902673 – Rapid Activation for SAP Fiori in SAP S/4HANA – Overview
In this blog the text is shown in this COLOR it is for selection and copy/paste
STEP 1: CHECK SAP FIORI UI COMPONENTS
(A) Enter tCode SPAM -> button Package Level, tab
Installed Product Versions, Check the below Product versions are installed -
SAP S/4HANA 2022 and SAP FIORI FRONT-END SERVER 2022 & SAP FIORI FOR S/4HANA 2022.
(B) The S/4HANA system has to be with embedded Fiori deployment as per
SAP Note 3236624 - Composite SAP note: Rapid Activation for SAP Fiori in SAP S/4HANA 2022
(C) Ensure that
SGEN is already completed on the system
(D) Proper ICF/ICM setup including
FQDN
(E) Ensure the system is configured for SSL
icm/server_port_0 = PROT=HTTP,PORT=80$$,PROCTIMEOUT=600,TIMEOUT=600
icm/server_port_1 = PROT=HTTPS,PORT=443$$,PROCTIMEOUT=600,TIMEOUT=600
icm/server_port_2 = PROT=SMTP,PORT=25000,TIMEOUT=180
(F) 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. You can copy and paste lines into instance profile.
abap/buffersize = 2500000 # Fiori Rapid Activation Help Doc
(G) 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. Follow

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.
Please run this task in Foreground so its easy to handle if error occurs in next screen.
After tasks are completed, the screen should look like below.
TIP: Below step will not be required after end Oct 2022 if you apply SAP Note 2712785 – Fiori Setup: Initial Setup for Fiori Applications S/4
Enable Analysis Path Framework (APF) apps, by adding a missing authorization via transaction PFCG edit role Z_FLP_USER - change button, Authorizations tab, Change Authorization Data button, (1) Click Manually, (2) Add Auth Object /UIF/LREP . Edit -> /UIF/ROLE = select using checkmark APFUSER and Save (3) Generate and go back.
Similarly add below to Admin profile Z_FLP_ADMIN - Add Auth Object /UIF/LREP -> Edit /UIF/ROLE = select using checkmark APFADMIN and Save. Generate and go back.
STEP 8: AUTOMATIC ACTIVATION - ADDITIONAL TASK LISTS
There are some additional task lists under
Automatic Activation of Embedded-Deployed SAP Fiori as mentioned in the note
3132689.
Task Lists are

Please refer to the blog below for additional checks as a verification checklist once all the above tasks are completed. This is required before we proceed further to next step.
https://blogs.sap.com/2022/04/08/sap-fiori-for-sap-s-4hana-10-health-checks-for-the-sap-fiori-launch...
STEP 10: 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
All Fiori apps for SAP S/4HANA => by Back-End Product => SAP S/4HANA
IMPORTANT TIP: In case you want to select all the Roles for certain scope items activated like BKP, 1Z3, 3QD, 1GA.... etc then click on the filter icon shown above and select the Scope Items.
(A) Select all (or alternatively you can select the roles you need),
(B) Aggregate,
(C) SAP S/4HANA 2021 FPS1,
(D) Down Arrow,
(E) Download
Click on
Export list of Business Roles (392 roles for
SAP S/4HANA 2022 currently) and save the list as csv file. The number of roles may be different as new roles may be added or old ones deprecated.
Split the list of roles into lists with number of roles limit around 120. Also prepare separate list for roles with presteps. So you must have at least 3-4 lists of roles that you want to use for next step considering you want to activate all roles.
TIP: In case you have selected below roles, you may find it convenient to remove the below roles and activate them separately as they need some pre-steps.

TIP: In case you get typical error message like for example - Service: C_SRVCCONTRFINQUERY_2_CDS 1 failed / ICF Node: not available. For detailed analysis activate failed service manually with transaction /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE, please follow steps as below:
Enter tCode /n/IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE
Enter (1) Technical Service Name as C_SRVCCONTRFIN*, (2) Checkmark on Co-Deployed, (3) Click on Get Services, (4) Select the service C_SRVCCONTRFINQUERY_2_CDS and then click on (5) Add Selected Services
Click on Local Object.
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 4 files for roles that were downloaded from Fiori App Library – the second list contains roles that require presteps. All these lists are available also in a spreadsheet S4HANA2022FPS0_FioriRapidActivation_BusinessRoles.xls
The first list S4HANA2022FPS0_FioriRapidActivation_BusinessRoles_List1.txt contains 100 roles and you can activate all of them together. After you run the task list for activation, if there are errors, please rerun the same list again. If there are memory issues split the list into smaller chunks.
The second list in file has 120 roles, the third list has 138 foles that you can activate together. The fourth list has 5 roles that have to be activated using task list SAP_FIORI_FCM_CONTENT_ACTIVATION. And there are some that need Business Function/Switch to be activated. And some awaiting solution.
STEP 11: ACTIVATE FIORI CONTENT
TIP: Before scheduling Content Activation task list ensure that task list for Activate Enterprise Search from STEP 2 is completed.
Check that note is applied as per
STEP 1 - SAP Note 2686456 - Fiori Setup: Content Activation for SAP Business Roles
In Work Client, enter tCode
STC01 -
SAP_FIORI_CONTENT_ACTIVATION
The 513 roles in SAP S4HANA 2021 FPS1 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 they are country specific and industry specific. We strongly recommend to customers to do a conscious decision about the role scope to be activated.
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 513 roles:
Please note that there are 5 roles which are to be activated using task list STC01 -
SAP_FIORI_FCM_CONTENT_ACTIVATION
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 150 roles takes about one 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: TIME SAVING TECHNIQUE - Once you have the list of roles, you can split the roles into multiple lists like say if you have 200 roles, split them into 2 sets of 100 roles. You can then create 2 separate sessions and run the task list. Keeping the number of roles in these 2 sessions unequal will help to know the session, like keep 98 roles in first session and 102 helps to distinguish them. I had to increase the parameter abap/shared_objects_size_MB = 512 to 768 to run parallel session. Alternatively you can set the automatic memory parameter PHYS_MEMSIZE.
TIP NO 4: After activating a role like for example
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 5: 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. One of the reasons for this is - the service activation is a generation and can finish successfully later on after the logs show error. So on retry the activation finished successfully.
TIP NO 6: 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 12: POST ACTIVATION
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.
TIP: As a Post Activation step you can revert back Memory Parameters that were temporarily increased for activation.
COMPONENT FOR INCIDENTS:
You can open OSS messages using component
BC-INS-TC-CNT
Please mention the SAP Fiori UI software components. The UI software component can be found in Fiori App Library. Example for
RFM_MANAGE_PRODUCT_LISTING_SRV the component is
LO-RFM-MD-LST. Please see steps below:
