How to model a big platform in CMDB with using the CSDM?

[sherrybieb]

In case of a platform / packaged applications such as SAP 4 Hana or Salesforce etc with multiple modules /domains (e.g. Finance and Control, Plant Maintenance, CRM, etc.) and with different instance of modules per Line of Business:  How to model a big platform in CMDB using the CSDM?

I would opt (in case of SAP but that can be any other platform) for a hierarchical set-up with SAP as the parent CI and the substituent modules as the child CI's. In this case the technical and the business owner of the business service and related application including credentials for the admin role can be assigned in a granular way. Also the incidents can be tied to the child CI's.
Any thoughts?

Hello @sherrybieb.

CSDM Data Model Examples asset has SAP and Salesforce examples.

Thanks,

Alessandro.

Is there an equivalent model example showing S4/Hana Cloud?

I am particularly interested in the parent child relationship between the platform and its substituents parts (business applications) with the tied granularity.

I'm thinking here that the Platform is a Business App with Architecture Type = Platform Host and its constituent parts are Business Apps with Architecture Type= Platform App and a reference to the Platform Host.  Each Business App (regardless of type) would have a corresponding App Service, which would then be selectable in Incident, Change etc.
