Installation and deployment
To deploy the Digital Product Catalogue (DPC) system, a dual approach involving both cloud deployment and integration with SAP ECC/S4HANA is essential.
In the cloud environment, the DPC application is encapsulated as an mtar (multi-target application archive) file, facilitating effortless deployment across diverse customer Business Technology Platform (BTP) cloud instances. This ensures compatibility and accessibility across various cloud environments.
To establish seamless connectivity, crucial destinations are configured within the BTP, enabling efficient communication and data exchange between the DPC application and associated components.
On the SAP ECC/S4HANA side, the integration unfolds with the movement of SAP-related packages. This is achieved through Transport Request (TR) files, enabling the smooth transfer of essential elements to support the DPC functionality within the SAP system.
This comprehensive approach harmonises the DPC implementation process. The cloud-based deployment optimises accessibility and flexibility, while the integration with SAP ECC/S4HANA ensures the necessary backend support for a robust and fully functional Digital Product Catalogue system.
