Installing the SAPCP Cloud Connector
How to install the SAP Cloud Platform (SAPCP) cloud connector to enable data acquisition.
Prerequisites
- You must use a System Owner account to perform the following steps. If you do not know who the system owner is, log on to SAP Analytics Cloud and go to . If the system owner has left your company you can transfer ownership to another user. For more information, see Transferring the System Owner Role
- SAP Analytics Cloud can
be hosted either on SAP data centers or on non-SAP data centers. Determine which
environment SAP Analytics Cloud is
hosted in by inspecting your SAP Analytics Cloud URL:
- A single-digit number, for example us1 or jp1, indicates an SAP data center.
- A two-digit number, for example eu10 or us30, indicates a non-SAP data center.
- You must know your S-User account ID. If your SAP Analytics Cloud tenant
is hosted on a non-SAP data center, and an S-User account has already been set
up, your account ID is an email address. If you do not know your S-User account
ID, contact your SAP Administrator or SAP support. Or, if your tenant is on a
non-SAP data center and an S-User account hasn't been set up yet, you can follow
these steps to create one:
- Log on to SAP Analytics Cloud.
- Go to .
- Scroll down to the SAP Cloud Platform (SAP CP) Account section.
- Click the link to SAP Cloud Platform account.
- On the SAP Cloud Platform welcome page, click “Register”, and fill in the registration form.
- In the SAP Cloud Connector Administration, use the same email address that you just registered for “Subaccount user” when adding a Subaccount.
