Thank you Maiara for setting up these series of events, have few queries related to Build Process Automation to Manuel and Stephen. Hope these will be answered during the session or here in comments section.

Q1. What are the landscape recommendations for the SAP BTP BPA setup, do you suggest to go with staged/traditional setup like S/D/Q/P similar to on-premise landscapes or any other alternative approaches as we see there is a Environments feature which is yet to release, whether this helps in managing landscape with fewer subaccounts.

Q2: Based on the landscape setup, do we need to have same number of windows machines setup for desktop agent, are there any SAP's recommendations docs here ? If we run parallel Enterprise projects from different towers using same landscape setup how can we control the governance of automation jobs scheduling, Intervals, API triggers as there will not be any visibility for us to avoid concurrent sessions.

Q3. If we have to run multiple parallel Enterprise automation projects within the same landscape, how do we manage segregation of duties for these projects. Obviously, it is not possible for us to create new landscape for each Enterprise project which is kind of creating duplication of service licenses.

Q4. As mentioned in Q3, let's assume if we are running three different Enterprise projects in parallel, how do we validate the utilization and cost estimations specific to each of this projects as cost centers will vary for each of these projects. Now, we have an option to see the usage analytics only at the subaccount level.

Q5. Is there any option to disable auto release of new features for the Production BPA tenant as this may hamper working automations due to some new features. Using tenant configuration, if we configure it as Production tenant, this will only help to restrict some options at project level, any other suggestions here at the tenant level configuration ?

Q6. What is Cloud ALM for operations which is planned to release in Q1 2024, how it is different from available Monitoring options within SAP BPA Monitoring.

Q7. Is it mandatory to route API calls from SAP BPA --> S/4HANA via Integration Suite ? what are the advantages here ?

Let me know if there are any clarifications needed for the above queries.

Regards,

- Vijay
