Setting Up Your Trial Account

Your trial account is set up automatically, so that you can start using it right away. However, if one or more of the automatic steps fail, you can also finalize the setup manually, by following the steps below.

Create Your Trial Subaccount

The first thing that is needed in the setup of your trial account is the creation of a subaccount. If this step was successful in the SAP BTP cockpit, you can directly skip to the next section.

Procedure

1. Navigate into your global account by choosing Enter Your Trial Account.

2. Choose New Subaccount.

3. Configure it as follows:

   Field	Input
   Display Name	trial
   Description	(Optional) Any text that describes your subaccount
   Provider	Desired infrastructure provider
   Region	Desired region
   Subdomain	<your_id>trial Example: P0123456789trial
   [Advanced] Enable beta features	(Optional) Enables the use of beta services and applications.
   [Advanced] Labels	(Optional) You can assign labels to help identify and organize the subaccounts in your global account. For example, you can filter subaccounts by custom property in the Account Explorer page. See Labels.

Results

You have successfully set up your trial subaccount.

Create Your Trial Org and Configure Entitlements

Once you have a subaccount (whether it was created automatically or you followed the steps described above), you need an org and entitlements.

Procedure

1. Navigate to your subaccount by choosing its tile.

2. Choose Enable Cloud Foundry to create your org.

3. Once your org is created, choose Entitlements from the left hand-side navigation.

4. Choose Configure Entitlements to enter edit mode.

5. Choose Add Service Plans and select all the service plans available for your subaccount.

   Note:

   To select a service plan, choose a service from the left and tick all the service plans that appear on the right. Do that for all services.

6. Once you've added all the service plans, you see them all in a table. Before you choose Save, for all the plans with numerical quota, choose ➕ to increase the amount to the maximum (until the icon becomes disabled).

7. Finally, choose Save to save all your changes and exit edit mode.

Results

You now have an org and all the entitlements for your subaccount. The last thing you need is a space where you can use the services you've configured entitlements for and deploy applications.

Create Your Trial Space

Procedure

1. In your trial subaccount, navigate to Cloud Foundry > Spaces using the left hand-side navigation.

2. Choose Create Space and name it dev.

3. Choose Create.

Results

You now have your trial set up all done and ready to go.
