INTRODUCTION
The goal of this exercise is to log you into the systems we will be using in subsequent weeks throughout this
course. We want to make sure you know how to log in and what each of the different areas is used for when
implementing and configuring SAP Fiori UX apps.
First, you will log into the SAP GUI. For the purposes of the openSAP Introduction to SAP Fiori UX exercises
we are using an embedded deployment option so you will only have one system to log into. From a timing
perspective and efficiency in utilizing an existing SAP Fiori UX instance this was the best choice. However, if
you deploy SAP Fiori UX in your own landscape we do recommend and encourage you to implement the
central hub deployment option. After you log in you will enter the transactions you will be learning about over
the next 6 weeks and adding them to your favorites list. This will make future exercises where we access
these transactions convenient. While the transactions will be explained briefly in this exercise and in the
forthcoming weeks we will not be doing any configurations or hands-on steps in this exercise. However, if
you would like to look at the various transactions for a feel of what they do that is acceptable, just do not
change anything at this point.
The next thing you will do is log into the SAP Fiori launchpad (runtime) and the SAP Fiori launchpad
Designer (design time). Again, we will not be configuring anything in this exercise but instead you have the
freedom to navigate through both so that when we do the hands on part in week 3 youre already familiar
with the layout.
This exercise should take only a half hour, unless you choose to spend additional time exploring.
