This lesson focuses on activating SAP Joule with SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition. Unlike the Private Edition, SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition is delivered as a multi‑tenant SaaS solution, where system lifecycle, tenant isolation, and infrastructure operations are managed by SAP.
As a result, Joule activation for the Public Edition is more streamlined and relies heavily on SAP provided automation, particularly the Joule Booster, instead of customer managed network or tenant level configuration.
Prerequisites for SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition Integration
Before activating Joule, ensure the following prerequisites are in place:
Prerequisites for SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition Integration
| Prerequisite | Description |
|---|---|
| SAP BTP Global Account | Active enterprise global account with entitlements for SAP Joule and SAP Build Work Zone |
| SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition System | Active system with administrative access |

| SAP Build Work Zone, standard edition | Available in the SAP BTP subaccount |
| SAP BTP Subaccount | At least one subaccount prepared for Joule and SAP Build Work Zone |
