2.7 Upgrading to SAP Fiori 2.0
In this section, we’ll highlight the requirements for upgrading SAP Business Suite and SAP S/4HANA systems to SAP Fiori 2.0. Before you start preparing for the upgrade, let's explore a few crucial points regarding SAP Fiori 2.0:
- SAP Fiori 2.0 is available for the SAP S/4HANA 1610 release and for the SAP Business Suite powered by SAP HANA or AnyDB. SAP Fiori 2.0 is not available for the previous SAP S/4HANA release 1511.
- SAP Fiori 2.0 is available for the 1608 release for SAP S/4HANA Cloud.
- SAP Fiori 2.0 is mandatory for SAP S/4HANA 1610 and higher.
- Systems based on SAP NetWeaver Application Server (AS) for ABAP 7.4 or SAP NetWeaver AS for ABAP 7.5 can only enable the basic notification capability of SAP Fiori 2.0.
Now, let’s look at the component that needs to be upgraded to implement SAP Fiori 2.0.
2.7.1 SAP Fiori 2.0 for SAP S/4HANA
If you are currently running SAP Fiori on SAP S/4HANA, and would like to upgrade to SAP Fiori 2.0, you must upgrade SAP Fiori front-end server 2.0 to SAP Fiori front-end server 3.0, and upgrade SAP S/4HANA 1511 to SAP S/4HANA 1610.
SAP Fiori front-end server 3.0 is the key add-on component for SAP NetWeaver AS for ABAP for providing the SAP Fiori 2.0 user experience, so you need to upgrade your SAP Fiori front-end server 2.0 to version 3.0 with SAP UI 7.51.
Note
For SAP S/4HANA 1610, SAP Fiori front-end server 3.0 can also be installed on instances based on the SAP NetWeaver AS for ABAP 7.50 SP04.
For SAP S/4HANA, SAP Fiori 2.0 is only available on premise with the 1610 release, so you will also need to upgrade your back-end system to SAP S/4HANA 1610.
Important
SAP S/4HANA 1511 does not support SAP Fiori front-end server 3.0, so it continues to run version 2.0.
Once the front-end server is upgraded to version 3.0 and the back-end server to SAP S/4HANA 1610 (see Figure 2.107) your system will be running SAP Fiori 2.0.

2.7.2 SAP Fiori 2.0 for SAP Business Suite Powered by SAP HANA or AnyDB
For SAP Business Suite powered by SAP HANA or AnyDB, all you have to do is to upgrade the front-end server from version 2.0 to version 3.0, including SAP UI 7.51 to upgrade to SAP Fiori 2.0 in your landscape.
Note
SAP Fiori front-end server 3.0 for SAP NetWeaver 7.5 and 7.4 is particularly designed and offered for customers using SAP Business Suite powered by SAP HANA. SAP recommends implementing the latest released support packages for the SAP Fiori front-end server 3.0.
