Before the initial configuration of the SAP CP CC you, or the owner of your

organization’s S-User account, must open an SAP Product Support Incident at the

following link: https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#incident/solution using the

component LOD-ANA-BI.

Your support ticket should include:

• A statement about wanting to set up data acquisition with the SAP CP CC

• Your SAP Analytics Cloud tenant URL

• Your S-User account ID

Dear SAP Support,

I would like to set up data acquisition with the SAP Cloud Platform

Cloud Connector in SAP Analytics Cloud.

My tenant URL is: <your Tenant URL>

My S-User ID is: <your S-User>

NOTE: Once our Operations team has configured a subaccount for data acquisition on

your SAP Analytics Cloud system, you will be able to complete the following steps

successfully. Depending on the day and our workload, typically we will get back to you

within an hour or the next business day.

If you do not know your S-User account ID, contact the person within your company who

is handling your SAP account. If you do not know what that is, contact SAP Support.
