When it comes to SAP Build Process Automation  and SAP S/4HANA  you need some help at the beginning to set up your SAP BTP and your SAP Build Process Automation. Especially if this is your first project. If you can not ask someone senior in this topic, I hope you find this blog post to get to make your project a success. I want to take this opportunity to thank all SAP customers and SAP partners who have asked me questions, lots of questions.

This is the first of two parts to provide you with the most common cases around SAP Build Process Automation (SBPA) with relevant sources and material to make your work easier.

And when I try to instantiate Build Process Automation manually, I receive this generic failed error.
