Client Strategy – Browser access vs. local client

▪ Check expectations of your end-users and project sponsor:

Change management for power users vs. footprint/TCO of local client (SAP Business Client)
▪ SAP Business Client offers a bridge into the SAP Fiori world and combines best of both worlds
– connection type SAP Fiori launchpad as hybrid mode:
FLP and SAP Fiori apps in browser – SAP GUI transactions in Windows Client (local installation)
– connection type SAP Logon as SAP GUI only-variant offering tab navigation (as replacement for SAP Logon Client)

Exercise Tips & Tricks

The exercise described in this Work Package is simple:

❑ This task list can potentially activate all apps in the

system, however, the exercise has been built using a
subset of apps. Try to use the recommended
settings to avoid surprises.

❑ Backup your implementation by downloading the

suggested files. This could save you in case of
trouble in a real implementation project!

❑ In this new version all objects are added to a

Transport Order, however, there are a couple of
objects that still require manual procedures for
transports one of them is described in the exercises.
