Introduction:
This blog is a continuation of the blog series Integration Suite – Simplified Onboarding and Provisioning . Here I would explain different ways an Integration Suite customer can view the usage ( instances and messages) reported from the tenants.
Overview:
SAP Integration Suite comes in different variants to cater the needs of customers.
Refer the SAP note https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/2903776 for getting more details on features offered via different SKUs of Integration Suite.
You can also refer SAP Discovery Center to understand the pricing related details.
In this blog, I would walk you through different Usage metrics available for Integration Suite metering.
Let's get started.
Integration Suite - Usage:
Integration Suite usage is measured with two metrics : instances and messages.
The below table summarizes different metrics displayed for Integration Suite service in the BTP cockpit:
| Metric | Description |
| tenant | Total number of tenants. Example: If the value is 3 for the current month,You would be charged for 3 units of tenants against SAP Integration Suite, standard edition (8008411) |
| messages | This can be viewed from Global Account overview screen. This means Additional Messages in the Blocks of 10K messages. Example: If the value is 2 for the current month,You would be charged for 2 units of Additional Messages against SAP Integration Suite, add'l messages (8008414) |
| Total Integration Suite Messages excl. SAP to SAP | Total Integration Suite messages minus the messages consumed via SAP-to-SAP standard-unmodified integration flows. This message metric would contribute to the derivation of billable messages. Example: If you have 2 Integration Suite tenants and let's say in a month the messages consumption from tenant one is 12500 , tenant two is 17500 , Then,
Total chargeable additional messages = 30000 - 20000 = 10000 = 1 block of 10k message. You would be charged for 1 additional message against 8008414 . |
| Total Cloud Integration Messages | Total messages consumed via the cloud integration capability. Note that this value includes the SAP-to-SAP messages as well. |
| Total API Management Messages | Total messages consumed via the API Management capability |
| Total Open Connector Messages | Total messages consumed via the Open Connector capability |
| Excluded SAP-to-SAP Integration Messages | Total messages consumed via standard,unmodified content delivered by SAP,which is meant for SAP-to-SAP Integration scenarios. |
Total Integration Suite Messages excl. SAP to SAP = (Total Cloud Integration Messages + Total API Management Messages + Total Open Connector Messages ) - Excluded SAP-to-SAP Integration Messages
Refer the SAP Note 2942344 - SAP Cloud Platform Integration Suite - Message Metric Definition - SAP ONE Support Launchp...for getting additional details on the definition of Integration Suite message .
