Architecture & System Landscapes

An admin says SAP Smart Business content on HANA XS is independent of HANA Live, so HANA Live can be skipped in the install. Why is that wrong?

Name the five layers of a classic SAP Fiori system landscape, from the user's browser down to the data.

You must run analytical Fiori apps but the ABAP back end is on a non-HANA database. Integrated or side-by-side HANA XS — which does that force, and what cost does it impose?

Sizing a landscape that must eventually run all three classic Fiori app types: which database does that commit you to, which single app type would have left the choice open, and why can't you defer the decision?

A plain ABAP environment runs transactional Fiori apps fine on its current non-HANA database. The team wants to add fact sheet apps without changing the DB. Why won't that work?

A fact sheet app loads slowly and you want to trace the request path. Unlike transactional apps, what protocol does it use and which component does the request hit before HANA?

Of the three classic Fiori app types, exactly one requires SAP HANA XS. Which one, and what does XS do that makes it mandatory only there?

An admin sizing an S/4HANA Fiori landscape budgets for a separate SAP HANA XS instance and a search landscape, the way Business Suite did. Why is that obsolete?

A card claims SAP Fiori 2.0 runs on NetWeaver AS ABAP 7.50/7.51 with front-end server 3.0 on S/4HANA 1610. Is that the right stack to plan a new deployment against today, and why does the date matter?

What is the minimum software stack for running transactional Fiori apps with SAP Business Suite — and what is notably NOT on the list?

In a Fiori landscape, which server hosts SAP Gateway and OData enablement, and which hosts the business logic plus the users/roles/authorizations? Name the placement people most often get backwards.

SAP recommends a reverse proxy in every Fiori landscape, but for which app type is it actually required — and what is its job?

On the ABAP front-end server, what does each of these three contribute: product-specific UI add-ons, central UI add-on, SAP Gateway?

A project plans a single installation step for 'Fiori,' expecting front-end and back-end components to ship as one product. What breaks, and what must they actually do?
