SAP Operations Guide: Mobility1. IntroductionThe SAP Customer Financial Fact Sheet app was released for various device platforms, likeiOS, Windows, Android, and BlackBerry. The latest release is the Windows 8 app, which supportsthe new Windows 8 user interface. This release also supports SAP Mobile Platform , enterpriseedition, cloud version as a deployment option, which means you can use or try out the appleveraging Cloud services: no need to maintain your own infrastructure, low Total Cost ofOwnership, and guaranteed service levels.This document explains how to get the Financial Fact Sheet app running, and provides informationabout the solution architecture and installation process.It refers to existing documentation, which provides additional necessary information for installingand implementing the entire solution end to end.You may need to substitute back-end system names and URLs used in the examples in thisdocument according to your environment. Throughout this document the backend system URL isreferred to as https://xyz.com/odata/sap/FINCUSTFACTSHEET.June 20131
SAP Operations Guide: Mobility2. Solution OverviewThe SAP HANA Cloud deployment is different from the on-premise deployment, which is notdiscussed in this document.In the figure above, you see the Financial Fact Sheet App running on a Windows 8 device. Thedevice connects directly to SAP Mobile Platform Enterprise edition, cloud version - SMPCloud for short. SMP Cloud is Mobile as a Service (MaaS) provided on top of the SAP HANACloud. The SAP HANA Cloud is connected to an on-premise SAP ECC (ERP Central Component)system via the SAP HANA Cloud Connector (SHCC) component. SHCC can establish a secure andtrusted connection between the SAP HANA Cloud and any on-premise SAP systems. Details can befound in the link collection of this document.In the on-premise network, the SAP NetWeaver Gateway provides an OData access forbusiness data. The actual back-end SAP ECC Server requires several add-ons: SAP Custom erFinancial Fact Sheet Add-On (LWMFI001) and SAP Order Status Add-On (LWMSD001)must be installed on an SAP ECC 6.0 SPS16 or higher. See the most recent documentation of SAPCustomer Fact Sheet for version details.This document assumes that the back-end systems are already in place. To illustrate the app inthis document, we are connecting the SMP Cloud to NetWeaver Gateway Service that is available inthe Internet as a demo service, focusing on retrieving the app from the Windows Store andconfiguring the SMP Cloud to enable a demo scenario. The figure below describes the differencebetween this illustration, and a real-world scenario. .June 20132
