In the SAP Cloud Application Programming Model (CAP), the Provider Subaccount functions as the central hub for deploying and managing multitenant applications. It hosts shared application services while delegating tenant-specific data and configurations to Subscriber subaccounts. This ensures scalability, security, and efficient management of deployments and updates across tenants.
First, you must configure the Provider Subaccount. To configure this, following these steps:
- Create an SAP BTP subaccount for the Provider.
- Add Entitlement.
- Enable SAP BTP, Cloud Foundry environment and create a space.
- Create an SAP HANA Cloud database.
1. Create an SAP BTP subaccount for the Provider
The steps for this setup are the same as in the previous lesson. Refer to the Building an SAP Fiori App using the Basic Template > Configuring the Deployment Subaccount > Step 1: Creating a Subaccount for Isolated Deployment Environment.
2. Add Entitlement
Add the following entitlements to the subaccount.
| Service | Plan | Unit |
|---|---|---|
SAP BTP, Cloud Foundry runtime | MEMORY | 3 |
SAP HANA Cloud | hana, tools (Application) | 1 |
SAP HANA Schemas & HDI Containers | hdi-shared | 2+ (1 for Provider and 1 per each subscriber subaccount) |
Authorization and Trust Management service | application | 1 |
The steps for this setup are the same as in the previous lesson. Refer to the Building an SAP Fiori App using the Basic Template > Configuring the Deployment Subaccount > Step 6: Adding the SAP Authorization and Trust Management Service Application Plan to the Subaccount.
3. Enable SAP BTP, Cloud Foundry environment and create a space
The steps for this setup are the same as in the previous lesson. Refer to the Building an SAP Fiori App using the Basic Template > Configuring the Deployment Subaccount > Step 2: Enabling the SAP BTP, Cloud Foundry Environment.
Note
The org name and space name of the SAP BTP, Cloud Foundry environment are used for the address of the subscriber specific address of the application.
https://<subscriber subdomain>-<provider cf org>-<provider cf space>-<app name>.<domain> For example, https://subscriber1-acme-app-distperfmgmt.cfapps.us10-001.hana.ondemand.com
4. Create an SAP HANA Cloud database
