New Installation of SAP S/4HANA 2023 FPS0 – Part 2 – Installation

This blog includes installation of SAP S/4HANA 2023 FPS0 and will focus on creating Sandbox type instance with co-deployed (embedded) gateway. 

STEP 1: OPERATING SYSTEM

It is recommended to install SuSE Linux or RedHat Linux. Refer SAP Note 2235581 - SAP HANA: Supported Operating Systems. 

 SAP Note 2399995 - Hardware requirement for SAP HANA 2.0

SAP Note 2620910 - SAP S/4HANA 1511, 1610, 1709 and SAP BW/4HANA 1.0: Recommended Application Server...

SAP Note 3108303 - SAP HANA DB: Recommended OS Settings for RHEL 9
SAP Note 2684254 - SAP HANA DB: Recommended OS settings for SLES 15 / SLES for SAP Applications 15

You can check your operating system version as below:

sid-hdb-s4h:~ # cat /etc/os-release

NAME="SLES"

VERSION="15-SP3"

VERSION_ID="15.3"
PRETTY_NAME="SUSE Linux Enterprise Server
15 SP3"

STEP 2: SAP HANA DATABASE

It is recommended to install minimum SAP HANA 2.0 SP07 rev71

SAP Note 2655761 - SAP S/4HANA - restrictions and recommendations regarding specific revisions of SA...

SAP Note 3198680 - SAP HANA Platform 2.0 SPS 07 Release Note
SAP Note 3364390 - SAP HANA 2 SPS07 Revision 073.00
<= Current at S/4HANA 2022 FPS2 release
SAP Note 2423367 - Multitenant database containers will become the standard and only operation mode SAP Note 2469025 - How-To: Upgrading to SAP HANA 2.0

We will install HANA database through SWPM. So you need to have the SAR file IMDB_SERVER20_073_0-80002031.SAR available along with SAP HANA Client IMDB_CLIENT20_018_24-80002082.SAR

After S/4HANA and HANA Database are installed please follow SAP Note 2600030 - Parameter Recommendations in SAP HANA Environments for parameter recommendations. This note contains check scripts which detect SAP HANA version, SAP product installed, etc. and give specific parameter recommendations.

TIP: Please change the log mode if you don’t want to be spend time on log maintenance: In HANA studio –> Configuration –> global.ini –> persistence and set the parameter log_mode to overwrite. When you change the log mode, you must restart the database system to activate the changes.

It is also recommended that you perform a full data backup. You can also set the log_mode to ‘overwrite’ using the following SQL-Statement:

ALTER SYSTEM ALTER CONFIGURATION ('global.ini', 'SYSTEM') SET ('persistence', 'log_mode') = 'overwrite' WITH RECONFIGURE;

STEP 3: SAP S/4HANA INSTALLATION USING SWPM

TIP: You don't need to extract the backup zip files S4CORE108_INST_EXPORT_*.zip. SWPM tool will extract them into /usr/sap/HDB/HDB02/backup/data/DB_HDB. Ensure sufficient space of 100GB is available in this folder.

We will use the procedure for SWPM+SUM combined installation and you don't need the SYSTEM/DDIC password from backup Database/ABAP instance. Extract the SWPM SAR file as below

sid-hdb:/ # cd /install

sid-hdb:/install # /sapmedia/SAPCAR -xvf /sapmedia/download/SWPM20SP16_0-80003424.SAR

You should get message at the end of this that SAPCAR: ... files(s) extracted Execute SWPM to do system copy with backup restore as below:

sid-hdb:/install#./sapinst
SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=vhcals4hci SAPINST_STACK_XML=/sapmedia/download/MP_Stack_1001829732_20231011_.xml


I started with command:

Your system installation is complete. Congratulations !!! 

New Installation of SAP S/4HANA 2023 FPS0 – Part 3 – Best Practices Content Activation

Please refer 3393679 - Jump Start Your SAP S/4HANA 2023 Implementation by Activating SAP Best Practices which will guide you in preparing for implementation of S/4HANA using SAP Best Practices content.

WARNING: This blog provides guidance for activating S/4HANA 2023 FPS0 Best Practices when a client is setup as Best Practice client. If you set up a merged client as per Alternative 2 - Setting up a merged client (all client 000 reference settings), follow the activation guidance as per SAP Note 3346909 - Implementation of SAP S/4HANA SAP Best Practices 2023 (Private Cloud and On-Premi... (steps shown in this color)

NOTE: for Best practices activation purpose we recommend to use latest SAPGui, In case you are using SapGui version 7.50, you need to uncheck "Accept Belize theme". Once the Best practices activation is completed, you can activate the SAP Fiori visual theme back. This is shown later under SAP SAPGUI settings.

This blog includes installation of SAP S/4HANA 2023 FPS0 and will focus on creating Sandbox type instance with co-deployed (embedded Fiori gateway).

The step by step procedure for Best Practices Content Activation on SAP S/4HANA 2023 FPS0 has only two base languages EN & DE and Country= USA. Please refer Admin Guide.

Adding further language translations later is not supported once the solution is activated, therefore, identify and install all the required languages you may need in future (if possible). You can check the following blog post for information on how to import a large number of languages efficiently.

A new Solution Builder profile has been created with ALL scope items but in case you have finalized scope items you can select only the needed scope items. Depending on how many selected scope items, activation procedure will need less time The status of system before starting this procedure is clearly defined before starting.

Tax calculation for US sales and purchases:
The US solution for SAP S/4HANA 2023 (BP_OP_ENTPR_S4HANA2023_USV10.XML) is delivered with internal tax calculation. It includes sample Jurisdiction codes and sample rates so that you can execute the best practices test scripts out of the box. For productive purposes, you must replace the sample jurisdiction codes and rates with the your own user defined jurisdiction codes and actual tax rates. If you prefer to use an external tax provider, you must configure the required settings

STEP 1: SAP S/4HANA 2023 FPS0 is installed and SPAM checked as per previous blog Part 2 link
STEP 2: All Notes should be applied after complete installation of SAP S/4HANA 2023 FPS0 as per SAP Note 3351047 - SAP S/4HANA 2023 Feature Package

STEP 3: Using SFW5, Enterprise Business Functions are activated as per Required Enterprise Business Functions in Admin Guide except FINS_PARALLEL_ACCOUNTING_BF which is only for pilot customers.

Please note that activation of some of the business functions requires additional licenses and you have to activate the business functions as per your requirements of scope list. For the purpose of the blog we have activated all business functions and scope items.

TIP: As compared to previous releases the Business Functions activation takes long time, therefore it is required to confirm that the activation job has finished successfully before proceeding.

STEP 4: Register client in table /FTI/T_NOCLN000 (for merged client do not register client in this table) so that Client Copy is done with tables defined in whitelist table /FTI/TWHITEL01.

If you want to perform client copy using new tCode SCCLN, use profile SAP_U000 for Best Practices client copy. For Merged client copy you can use you can use the copy profiles SAP_UCUS, SAP_CUST, SAP_CUSV, or SAP_UCSV. if you get any error message please create ticket using component SV-CLD-ACT.

TIP: Use the new tCode SCCLN to perform Client copy which is 10 times faster and you can do it form Client 000 or any other client than the target client and don't need user SAP*/pass to perform client copy. If you use the new Client copy procedure you have to define logical system for Client 000 like S4HCLNT000 also besides the logical system for client 100. Otherwise you will get error - "Dedicated logical system is not defined".
Please see the screenshot below:


Copied client to have no currency in tCode SCC4.


CLIENT COPY VALIDATION: Please check table entries using tCode SE16, table (1) T001, click on (2) Number of entries to check number of entries. If there are (3) zero entries as below it is a Best Practices client.For Merged Client you should have some records in this table.

Split the list of roles into lists with number of roles limit around 100. 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: 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 S4HANA2023FPS0_FioriRapidActivation_BusinessRoles.xls

The first list S4HANA2023FPS0_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 140 roles, the third list has 149 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 2023 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:
