Capture SAP systems from the landscape discovery
In the configuration of the SAP landscape discovery, admins can decide to map SAP systems underpinning your applications with an optional system fact sheet type to bring additional details about the instances of production, testing, and similar systems into your inventory. Information captured on such fact sheets surfaces responsibilities and context, like the system instance type (e.g., on-premise, cloud) and SAP system number, which are relevant when planning and executing transformations. All of this applies to both production and non-production systems directly linked to your business applications.
Adding the system fact sheet to your workspace's meta model configuration can be initiated from the SAP landscape discovery configuration in the admin area's "Integrations" section or the "Optional Features & Early Access." The systems will be included in the SAP discovery inbox automatically.
Extensive system modeling guidelines in our documentation will help you understand how best to use this new fact sheet type for different scenarios, such as applications running on multiple systems with different leading products or various applications running on one system.
SAP system discovery brings system-level information relevant to ERP transformation use cases into workspaces. We decided to import this information as a dedicated fact sheet for clarity. We will reconcile this in the following weeks with our ServiceNow integration, which has been importing this information as deployments (an optional application fact sheet subtype) for compatibility with CSDM for some time. We enhance existing enterprise architecture use cases without intending to become a full-fledged CMDB. You can expect a dedicated contact with more updates on this matter in the next few weeks.
