FAB is a certified SAP Add-on that is packaged using the SAP Add-On Assembly Kit (AAK). The FAB add-on consists of a series of transport requests grouped together as a delivery package. When imported, the FAB add-on is registered as an additional software component in the system. Instead of sending transport requests to customers, new features and bug fixes are installed in the SAP system as a package. The transaction SAINT (SAP Add-On Installation Tool) is used in a fresh installation of the FAB add-on or for a major version upgrade. On the other hand, the transaction SPAM (Support Package Manager) is used to install minor updates in support packages (patch). The following steps are relevant for a fresh FAB Add-On installation or when upgrading an existing FAB Add-On to the latest version.

Package Installation

Installation Packages will be provided by IQX depending on the deployment method and version of the SAP system. It will be labeled as either Frontend or Backend.

Central Hub Deployment

  • In SAP Backend, install the package for Backend using transaction SAINT in Client 000

  • In SAP Frontend Gateway, install the package for Frontend using transaction SAINT in Client 000

Embedded Deployment

This option is only applicable for SAP versions 7.40 or higher

  • Install the package for Backend using transaction SAINT in Client 000

When disassembling the OCS Packages, you may encounter the warning message that says The OCS Package is not digitally signed.

This message is expected as the signature is automatically turned on when using SAINT version 66 with SAPNOTE 2520826.

Index Calculation

The SAPUI5 application index provides an indexing and caching mechanism for information related to apps, components, and libraries in the SAPUI5 ABAP repository and related to components and libraries in the SAPUI5 distribution layer. The index is calculated by the report Calculation of SAPUI5 Application Index for SAPUI5 Repositories (/UI5/APP_INDEX_CALCULATE). The report /UI5/APP_INDEX_CALCULATE has to be executed in the system where the FAB service is running whenever the content of the SAPUI5 ABAP repository has been changed.

Failure to execute this step may result in the browser console showing a message such as ‘REQUESTED RESOURCE OUTDATED’.

Step 1

Go to transaction SE38 and Execute the report /UI5/APP_INDEX_CALCULATE.

Step 2

Go to the Single SAPUI5 Repository Only tab and enter each of the following SAPUI5 Repository, then click Execute.

/IQX/FAB2 Fiori App Builder V2

/IQX/FAB_ICONS FAB Icon Picker

/IQX/PROCESS_EDIT IQX FAB Process Editor

/IQX/JSON_EDIT JSON Editor

/IQX/MY_FORMS My Forms for Fiori Launchpad
