Does SAP Private Link support to connect S/4HANA PCE or HEC on Hyperscaler?
I confirmed setting steps, it seems that customer's own hyperscaler account need.
Therefore in case of SAP managed S/4HANA such a PCE or HEC, I was wondering what kind of setting step it would be. Through ticket?
Hi Susumu,
Yes, SAP Private Link supports S/4HANA PCE/HEC on Hyperscaler, however must have own Hyperscaler account.
For SAP managed S/4HANA PCE / HEC, it should be handled through a service engineering ticket.
Thanks, Gowrisankar
Hi Gowrisankar,
Is the private link service available for BTP Trial Azure Subaccounts? Or is it only available for standard/free tier subaccounts running in Azure? Thank you!
Hi Anthony,
Our service is only available for CPEA/PAYG accounts. We are not on a free trial or a free tier.
Thanks, Gowrisankar
