19. MOBILIZING FIORI
"Mobilizing" in this case means installing the SAP Fiori apps on your smartphone using
the SAP Fiori Client.
This lets the SAP Fiori apps run within a native application container (SAP Fiori Client).
Using the Mobile app SAP Fiori Client will enable you to view and use the SAP Fiori
Launchpad in a mobile app
The SAP Fiori Client works today against the SAP Fiori Front-end server and/or SAP
Gateway directly, but when you route Fiori application traffic (web asset and data
requests) through the SAP Mobile Platform server, additional capabilities become
available to the application such as the native smartphone features for example the
barcode scanner.
The SAP Fiori Client is available on iOS, Android, and Windows
