With recently LeanIX joining forces with SAP, lot of positive changes in terms of LeanIX inventory enriched with lot of SAP specific Factsheets! An awesome & lovely addition indeed! 😍

And along with these ready-to-use Factsheets from LeanIX Reference Catalog, I am currently working on preparing modelling and diagramming for applications built on SAP BTP as an extension to SAP S/4HANA Core system.

  1. I first looked at this page for official guidance from LeanIX: https://docs-eam.leanix.net/docs/sap#model-sap-btp. This section is still in-progress with LeanIX, but I am wondering whether anyone from the community has already came across similar situation.
  2. About modelling, logically speaking, I would imagine SAP BTP as PaaS platform would be a Application Factsheet and Services running on it or offered by it would be IT Components (much of them are already available on LeanIX Reference Catalog). Correct?
  3. About diagramming, there is a detailed guidance on using SAP BTP branded library for Draw.io https://sap.github.io/btp-solution-diagrams/docs/solution_diagr_intro/intro/. But I would imagine, this should not be applied or be used in Draw.io in context of LeanIX.

With this post, I would like to get opinions from the community here and discuss around these 3 questions.

I am also curious if there are additional resources to help with modeling BTP. I’ve read and re-read the current guide to modeling BTP: https://docs-eam.leanix.net/docs/modeling-sap-btp and I am still confused. I’ll admit that I’m not an SAP expert, though!

For example, we see the PaaS services underneath the Finance - Prod sub account. The documentation makes it sound as though these services only live under one sub account. 

But how would that work if you had sub accounts for environments? Does ‘SAP Event Mesh’ also have a relationship to Finance - Dev and Finance - QA? Can ‘SAP Event Mesh’ have a relationship to other sub accounts?
