SCP: Subscriptions, Entitlements and Estimator tools

[kammaje_cis]

I am confused about SCP is definitely an understatement. I hope someone can throw some light and help to clear a few of this confusion.

I log in to my SCP cockpit and goto my subaccount. Under Subscriptions, I see there are 8 services and I have subscribed to two of them.

Now I goto Entitlements and see that there are 28 services. I see that all those services available under Subscriptions are also here. So what I understand is that some of the entitlements need a subscription, and some of them are automatically subscribed. Is this understanding right?

Now I goto SAP Cloud Estimator tool, and I see that I cannot see the price for a few Entitlement services like 'Destination', 'Connectivity', 'HTML5 Repository' etc. Why are they not listed here? and how to estimate their prices?

Advance thanks for any feedback on these questions.

Okey :).

Do not know what to do if I run out of these non-subscribable services, like HTML5 repository. Was waiting if someone can answer it. Anyway marked it now.

Hi Krishna,

Let's give it a try. Let's also keep the Glossary at hand.

Subscription: could mean two things

• The SAP Cloud Platform current business model, which is a pre-paid monthly recurring charge for the right to use a bundle of technical assets up to specified limits. (see Commercial Models)
• A technical subscription to a business application (software-as-a-service) that is either provided by SAP or by a customer in a different subaccount.
  

In your case, this concerns the technical subscription.

Entitlement, not in the Glossary alas but documented on Entitlements and Quotas.

An entitlement is your right to provision and consume a resource.

This is related to the subscription model. Entitlements shows what services you could subscribe to.

This is at the global account level. Next, as global account administrator you assign these entitlements to a subaccount. At the subaccount level you see the services you are entitled to use.

Acme Corp subscribes two 4 entitlements Application Runtime. The Marketing subaccount gets 1, Sales gets 2 and one is kept for future usage.

Under subscriptions (subaccount), Sales would see 2. Under Entitlements (global), you see 4.

There are 119 services listed.

The calculator lists 67. Services like Destination, Connectivity, and HTML5 Repository are not included. If you want to know I can enquire, but I assume that these services come at no charge as you would need the (charged) Application Runtime service to make use of them.

Additionally, what Denys said, you can find some services in the "Service Marketplace" in the Cloud Foundry Space (like Destination, Connectivity, etc).

Thanks, Denys for your inputs. The question originated from the thought that what if I run out of quota for these (HTML5 Applications, Destination, Connectivity) services.

I found a link which supports what you said. Application runtime includes other services like destination and connection. However, it does not say how many units of each are included. Just go to link https://discovery-center.cloud.sap/#/serviceCatalog/application-runtime and tab 'Service Plans'.

My only worry is what if I run out of one of the included services? For example with 2GB of application runtime, how many UI5 applications can I deploy? Is the application runtime only a bottleneck or number/size of the UI5 applications also matter?
