1 Where Can This Script Be Used?
This demo script has been written for usage with the SAP S/4HANA Fully-Activated Appliance (in short “appliance” in this script),
hence you will need such an appliance to make use of this guide.
The appliance can be brought up in two ways, and the demo scenario in this script is largely the same for both:
1. Via SAP Cloud Appliance Library (hosted on cloud providers)
You need a cloud provider account at AWS, MS Azure, or GCP. With this, you can deploy the appliance within 1-2 hours from
https://cal.sap.com > Solutions> SAP S/4HANA (your desired version) Fully-Activated Appliance.
2. Via installing it on your own on-premise hardware.
You need to provide your own hardware, and order & install the appliance as explained in SAP Note 2041140.
If you are new to the SAP S/4HANA Fully-Activated Appliance, introductory information can be found here:
https://blogs.sap.com/2018/12/12/sap-s4hana-fully-activated-appliance-create-your-sap-s4hana-1809-system-in-a-fraction-of-
the-usual-setup-time/
Important:
Before you start your demo, please read SAP S/4HANA Fully-Activated Appliance: Demo Scripts for information about necessary
preparations, especially any post-deployment steps to ensure the full functionality of your appliance. These steps are covered in
sections;
B) General Remarks
C) Post-deployment Steps
D) Log-on to the system
Besides this, you will also find links to all demo scripts on this page.
1.1 Passwords for the pre-configured demo users
Please contact your company’s system administrator for your company-specific demo user passwords. Demo users provided in
the appliance which are used for the Demo Scripts were delivered with the password “Welcome1”, however SAP recommends
changing these.
If you experience user/logon issues, please contact your team’s SAP S/4HANA Appliance system administrator.

2 Demo Guide: Message Monitoring with SAP
Application Interface Framework
2.1 Background Information
This demo script describes how SAP Application Interface Framework can be used within SAP S/4HANA to monitor your
interfaces. SAP Application Interface Framework is a framework for interface implementation, business-oriented monitoring, and
error handling. It is an integral part of SAP S/4HANA Enterprise Management (on-premise version) and SAP S/4HANA Cloud and
shipped as an ABAP-based add-on for the SAP Business Suite available from SAP NetWeaver 7.00 onwards.
In SAP S/4HANA, different monitors are provided depending on your role:
1. In SAP GUI: Interface Monitor (transaction /AIF/IFMON)
2. In SAP GUI: Monitoring and Error Handling (transaction /AIF/ERR)
3. In Fiori Launchpad: Monitor for Business Users
4. In Fiori Launchpad: Monitor for Integration Experts (incl. mass error handling)
5. In Fiori Launchpad: Monitor for Administrators
6. In Fiori Launchpad: Message Monitoring with Emergency Correction
See SAP Application Interface Framework documentation.
2.1.1 Pre-configured Demo Scenarios
Three integration scenarios have been pre-configured in the appliance:
1. Monitoring of an IDoc scenario to create flight customers
2. Monitoring of an IDoc scenario to create flight bookings
3. Monitoring of a business partner creation scenario
The demo scenarios have been setup in an SAP delivered AIF namespace, and hence you do not need an AIF license to run those
scenarios.
2.1.2 Custom AIF Interfaces
Besides the provided demo scenarios, you can use SAP Application Interface Framework within the fully-activated SAP S/4HANA
appliance as a trial system to setup your own interfaces. For creating own AIF interfaces, usually an AIF license is required, see SAP
notes 2293938 and 2288871. However, you can activate the trial period on the appliance to be able to try out the complete AIF
capabilities including customizing as well as monitoring and error handling for a limited period, i.e., 90 days, without additional
costs. The blog New trial capability for SAP Application Interface Framework describes how to activate the trial period on SAP
S/4HANA 2021 and above.
Note: The activation of the trial period is irreversible. The trial period can’t be deactivated once switched on and the trial period
can’t be extended. So, plan your proof-of-concept activities accordingly.
2.1.3 Tutorials
Once you have switched on the trial period on the appliance, you can use the appliance to run the provided tutorials to familiarize
yourself with the SAP Application Interface Framework customizing and monitoring capabilities. Currently, the following tutorials
are provided:
• Creating a simple RFC interface
• Creating a simple IDoc interface
• Enhance an IDoc interface with preprocessing
• Customize an IDoc interface with runtime and monitoring

• Customize a Proxy interface with runtime and monitoring
• Create a Simple OData Interface
• Modify Error Handling with Custom Objects
• Modify Data Structures and Fields
• Define Single Key Fields
• Determine Recipients by Key Fields
• Determine Recipients by Message Categories
Check out the SAP Application Interface Framework community for the latest updates on the list of provided tutorials.
2.1.4 Users
To run the AIF scenarios, the following two users have been provided:
SAP_AIF and
SAP_AIF_ADM, both with the <Master
Password> that you specified during the appliance creation in the SAP Cloud Appliance Library console.
• Both users have full AIF authorizations.
• For both users, the Fiori launchpad has been setup providing access to the Monitor for Business Users and the Monitor for
Integration Experts. In addition, the SAP_AIF_ADM user has access to the Monitor for Administrators and the Emergency
Correction monitor.
• Both users are assigned to the ZDEMO_RECIPIENT recipient to be able to monitor all three demo scenarios. In addition,
the SAP_AIF_ADM user is assigned to the recipients RECIPIENT_ALERTING_ANS and RECIPIENT_ERROR_PROPAGATION
to be able to monitor notifications sent to the SAP Alert Notification Service of the Business Technology Platform (BTP)
and notifications received from your SAP Cloud Integration tenant, respectively.
Note regarding the Fiori theme / screen appearance: Depending on the release / feature package stack (FPS) that you are
using, the screens might look a bit different due to different Fiori themes used. You can toggle the Fiori themes under User
profile → Settings.
2.2 IDoc Scenario: Create Flight Customer
We want to create a flight customer by sending an IDoc message to the SAP S/4HANA system. AIF is used for monitoring the
message exchange. In the following, the Monitor for Business Users is shown. However, you may also use any other monitor.
2.2.1 Run the Scenario
To create a new flight customer message, you may use the test tool for IDoc processing (transaction code WE19). Optionally, we
have prepared a report that allows you to generate multiple sample IDoc messages. By intention, some will run into an error to be
able to showcase the error resolution capability of SAP Application Interface Framework.
