In this example, we'll explore the capabilities of SAP Automation Pilot to create subaccounts and make basic configurations.
The example command utilizes the SAP Cloud Management Service (cis-sapcp) provided catalog to:
- Create new BTP subaccount.
- Configure entitlement for SAP Cloud Management Service (cis).
- Create service instance and key of SAP Service Manager, which can be used to manage service instances.
- Create service instance and key of SAP Cloud Management Service (plan local), which can be used to setup environments and subscriptions.
Customers can easily modify the example command to fit their scenarios. For example, adding additional entitlements or creating additional service instances.
ℹ️ Both the Service Manager and Cloud Management Service catalogs work with the technical names of the services and their plans. You can find their values in your BTP subaccount, under Entitlements:
To use this example you'll need the following:
- BTP global account
- Platform user with access to the BTP global account and administrator roles in the subaccount where the key will be created in the CIS Central service instance
- Enable Entitlements for Cloud Management Service in both the global account in BTP and the subaccount with the
centralplan - Instance of SAP Cloud Management Service with plan central and a service key/binding with default configurations. They must be created in a separate BTP subaccount in the same global account. When creating the service instance you must choose Password as the Authorization Type:

Import the content of examples catalog in your Automation Pilot tenant. Navigate to the PrepareSubAccount command and trigger it.
You'll need to provide values for the following input keys:
- displayName - Display name of the BTP subaccount
- region - Technical name of the BTP region, where the subaccount will be created
- subdomain - Subdomain of the BTP subaccount
- admins - Additional users with subaccount administrator role collection
- user - UserID/Email for BTP user account used for authentication
- password - Password for BTP user account used for authentication
- serviceKey - The original JSON, presented by SAP Cloud Management Service (plan central)
You'll receive the following output values after successfuly executing the command:
- cisServiceKey - Service Key for SAP Cloud Management Service (plan local)
- smServiceKey - Service key for SAP Service Manager (plan subaccount-admin)
ℹ️ These output values are marked as sensitive and their value cannot be displayed in the UI. However, they can be referenced and used when composed in another command.
Let's execute the PrepareSubAccount command with the following input:
- displayName - Example Subaccount
- region - cf-eu10
- subdomain - example-subaccount-12d68ccf3a09
- admins - ["john.doe@sap.com"] Note: Use your Email address
- user - BTP technical user
- password - BTP technical user password
- serviceKey - Service key for SAP Cloud Management Service (plan central)
Execution is started and we can monitor its progress:
After a few seconds, the execution should finish successfully:
We can verify that the command was successful by checking BTP Cockpit:
Subaccount has the correct region, display name and subdomain:
Subaccount has two services instances with bindings:
