Administration and Operations

Administration and operation tasks for SAP BTP include management and configuration of global accounts and subaccounts as well as the operation of applications.

1. [Cockpit] BTP Administration from BTP Cockpit:

2. [CLI] BTP Administration with Command Line Interface (CLI):

Install BTP CLI from below:

SAP Development Toolstools.hana.ondemand.com

How BTP CLI works:

You download the btp CLI client to your local desktop and access it through the shell of your operating system. The client then accesses all required platform services through its backend, the CLI server, where the command definitions are stored. The CLI server delegates authentication and authorization to the authorization server, and forwards trust to the platform services, which then take care of authorization at the execution of each command.

Download and Install the BTP CLI

You can use any terminal to work with the BTP CLI commands

Here we are using Visual Studio Code - Command Prompt
