Using SAP Companion Extended Scenario in S/4HANA

[kavinprabu_subramanian]

I have configured the parameters in Fiori launchpad configuration and added both standard content workarea and my custom content sap enable now manager workarea. I am not able to see the simulations created in my custom SEN work area in the respective Fiori screens. Is it something i need to configure in my SEN Manager end? I tried adding configuration but there was no config template available for S/4HANA. The version is S4HANA ON PREMISE 2023. Any help is appreciated.

Hi Kavinprabu,

OK, I can see why you are not seeing your Enable Now content in SAP Companion.  Please make the following changes to the configuration in S/4HANA:

LEARNING_APP_BACKEND_URL set to https://yourcompanyname.enable-now.cloud.sap/
LEARNING_APP_WORKSPACE set to sapextended
EDITOR should be set to false in Production but true is fine in QA or DEV or wherever you are creating content

You should also add another parameter if it is not in the configuration;
VERSION set it to a version number on the standard content that is loaded into Manager, e.g. 2023.latest

You don't have to use the SAP Companion configuration screens in Manager, these are used to configure SAP Companion for applications such as Ariba where the SAP Companion configuration is performed in Manager, not in the application.  In the case of S/4HANA, you have done the configuration in S/4HANA.

However, there are some basic settings, not SAP Companion configuration, that must be setup correctly in Manager to allow Manager and SAP Companion to communicate and to allow end users to see the content in Manager.  To learn more about those settings, refer to the Troubleshooting SAP Companion Issues Community Post.

Regards
Shane

Thanks @ShaneLipke. It worked, in addition to your suggested changes, I have also modified the value in CORS in Manager to "*". Earlier I have provided the URL but it was not working.

Follow up question: I have not configured SSO for Enable Now, so if the users open Fiori, it is asking them to sign in to Enable Now also. I understand the importance, but I feel it should not be mandatory. However, users can cancel the prompt. If they provided the Enable Now, they can able to see the contents flowing from the respective Enable Now workarea. This is completely fine. But the issue is, if the user ignores the Enable Now login prompt, they can't see the standard content too. I don't want this to happen.

What I want to achieve is, if the user has Enable Now credentials, they should see both the standard content from SAP Education server and custom content from my Manager workarea. If the user don't have Enable Now access, they users should see at least Standard content from SAP.  Appreciate your support.
