Creating an IAM Agency for the ECS Where SAP HANA Is Located

Before configuring Backint Agent, you need to create an agency for the ECS where the SAP HANA database is located to obtain the temporary AK and SK. The procedure is as follows:

1. Log in to the public cloud management console and select a desired region in the upper left corner.

2. In the navigation pane on the left, click and choose Management & Governance > Identity and Access Management.

3. Choose Agencies in the pane on the left, and click Create Agency in the upper right corner. The Create Agency page is displayed.

4. Set agency parameters.

  • Agency Name: Enter sap-backint. The name is only an example.
  • Agency Type: Select Cloud service.
  • Cloud Service: Select Elastic Cloud Server (ECS) and Bare Metal Server (BMS).
  • Validity Period: Retain the default setting.
  • Click Next. Select the policies or roles to be attached to the agency. Enter OBS in the search box and select OBS OperateAccess.
  • Click Next, and select the authorization scope. By default, All resources is selected. Click Show More and select Global resources. Click OK.

5. Configure the agency created in the previous step for the ECS.

  • In the navigation pane on the left, click and choose Compute > Elastic Cloud Server.
  • Select the ECS for which you want to configure the agency and click its name to switch to the basic information page.
  • On the tab page that is displayed by default, click the edit icon next to Agency in the Management Information area, select the created agency, and save it.
