SAP® Fiori
Overview

SAP® Fiori launchpad on-premise
The SAP® Fiori launchpad is a shell that contains SAP® Fiori apps and provides features like navigation, personalization, embedded support, and app setup.

SAP® Fiori launchpad on cloud
An SAP® Cloud Portal site is the SAP Fiori launchpad on cloud. SAP® Cloud Platform offers a number of services, including the SAP Cloud Platform portal. The SAP® Fiori launchpad on cloud has the same look and feel as the on-premise version of the SAP® Fiori launchpad, and it also has very similar features, despite the fact that cloud solutions have different functionality.

SAP® Gateway and OData services
The OData services are set up and activated using the SAP® Gateway. The OData services are a required component for operating SAP® Fiori apps since they retrieve business data from the back-end system for usage in the SAP® Fiori apps. OData is a standardized data API creation and consumption protocol. OData is based on basic protocols such as HTTP and well-known methods such as REST. To show data from the back end and update data in the back end, SAP® Fiori apps employ OData.

SAP® Fiori Front-End Server
This SAP® NetWeaver Application Server for ABAP add-on solution provides the front-end technology software components needed to run SAP® Fiori apps with the appropriate stack definition. SAP® Fiori front-end server is a SAP® NetWeaver Application Server for ABAP add-on product (AS ABAP). The service pack stack specification (stack.xml) for the SAP® Fiori app deployment in an on-premise scenario for the corresponding AS ABAP version is delivered with this solution.
