Applicative Credentials for SAP

[Saurav]

Customer is using Horizontal Discovery at the moment (No Service Mapping)  , we have SAP Installations on the estate , we would like to understand how to apply SAP Applicative Credentials in ITOM.

As I understand from SAP Architecture team every SAP Installations would have their own ADMusers based on the SID , so if the SID is SAP1 is the SAP instance the userid would be SAP1ADM ,as you can understand there will be multiple SID based ADM user accounts , so multiple ADM User accounts , and these are setup automatically based on installations.

I am not sure which credentials to add to the Applicative Credentials as I cannot add all the SAP user admins to the Applicative Credentials for a single class in the fear that this would lockout these install accounts.

In terms of a single uniform credential I do not have any documentation links to point me to the level of access that is needed for SAP Applicative Credentials Setup on SAP.

I’m not sure if hard code works. Do they have similar architecture in non prod SAP then you can try that first to assess how it works before running it on prod.

Hi Saurabh

In my view First Step is to - Define what needs to be discovered at Host level and at Application Level, Hope its there with you.

In past i have seen horizontal discovery using Host Credentials discovered a lot Like SAP Applications, Hana db etc .

Just for your reference we have discovered below all SAP CIs just using Host Domain Creds no SAP Applicative Creds.
