4HANA Mobile Add-On.
The following table provides an overview of the most important document changes.
This document is intended for system administrators, technical architects, and IT personnel involved in the
installation, setup, and configuration of software for the SAP Asset Manager application. It is assumed that the
personnel performing the installation and setup are aware of SAP S/4HANA installation. SAP S/4HANA and
SAP setup knowledge is helpful while carrying out the steps for the mobile setup of SAP S/4HANA.
Use this installation guide along with appropriate SAP documentation, as it covers only setting up and enabling
the SAP Asset Manager application. Configuration procedures described in the guide are effective only if done
on top of the configuration procedures documented in the Administration Guide for the Implementation of SAP
Best Practices for SAP S/4HANA.
The following functional areas are handled using standard SAP conversion agent processes and functionality:

Context
Note
Running SAP Asset Manager in SAP S/4HANA on-premise edition 1909 or later does not require SAP
Mobile Add-On installation. The Mobile Add-On Integration Framework used by SAP Asset Manager is
included as part of SAP S/4HANA 1909 on-premise edition.
If you are using SAP S/4HANA on-premise edition 1909 or later, you do not need to complete the following
procedures:
● Install and configure the SAP S/4HANA system with release 1610, minimum of FPS01. Refer to the
appropriate documentation on the S4/HANA on-premise 1610 FPS01 page.
● Install and configure the mobile add-on software component on the related SAP S/4HANA system. The
software is available for download at https://support.sap.com/en/my-support/software-downloads.html
, Release, Upgrade, and Maintenance Product Availability Matrix . Then search for your product.
Procedure
1. Load the software package into your system through the add-on manager, using the transaction code
SAINT.
For more information about loading software packages, see the online documentation for the add-on
installation tool. Select the help function in the application toolbar and navigate to Online Documentation
Loading Installation Packages .
2. Start the installation of the SAP Mobile Add-On using the add-on installation tool, accessed from the
transaction SAINT.
For more information about the add-on installation tool, see the online documentation by selecting the
Help function on the toolbar.
The add-on installation tool imports the ABAP add-on installation packages from your DVD or the SAP
Service Marketplace into your SAP system landscape. For more information, see the following SAP note:

3. Required support packages for each mobile application are found in the documentation for the
corresponding mobile application.
Prerequisites
We recommend that you run the SAP Mobile Add-On on an embedded deployment of the SAP Gateway for
performance reasons. However, the SAP Mobile Add-On is available for both embedded deployment and
gateway hub deployment landscapes.

for SAP ERP 6.0 EHP 7 SP14 installations with the SAP Gateway activated in a Gateway hub deployment:
Context
As a part of the post installation procedure, there are both required and optional tasks. The following procedure
covers the required tasks, which include activating both the BC set and the service for the Web Dynpro ABAP
application, the definition of intervals for certain number objects, and the configuration of the exchange table
purge background job, and the activation of gateway OData services.
Note
If the SAP Gateway is an embedded deployment, begin the following procedure at Step 1. If the SAP
Gateway is activated as a hub deployment, begin the following procedure at Step 2.
Procedure

privileges.
b. Start the transaction /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE.
c. Add a service from the system alias with the mobile add-on installed, adding services with the following
properties as necessary:
