Why is Smart Predict only offered on the Cloud Foundry version of the SAC?

[former_member57282]

Hello Experts,

I discovered that you need a SAP Analytics Cloud hosted on the Cloud Foundry to use the Smart Predict feature.

Can someone tell me the reason for this? What is the difference between those Version and why is Smart predict limited to Cloud Foundry?

Hello Florian, the note here might help. https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/2661746

In particular

"Where and how is Smart Predict currently rolled out?

• All new SAP Analytics Cloud tenants in all regions but China have Smart Predict provisioned into their tenant by default.
• These tenants are provisioned on top of the SAP Cloud Platform Cloud Foundry environment. This environment is central to SAP's multi-cloud strategy. Its purpose is to give customers flexibility and choice in terms of the cloud infrastructure SAP Cloud Platform runs on. "

Hello Antoine,

Thank you for your answer.

Is it possible to choose between the Version on the SAP Cloud Platform Cloud Foundry environment and Neo or are all new tenants always on Cloud Foundry?

Hello, see what is mentioned in the note "All new SAP Analytics Cloud tenants in all regions but China have Smart Predict provisioned into their tenant by default. " This means they are on Cloud Foundry as the default option.

Kind regards

Thanks again.

Can you tell me what the reason is for this? Not the general reason for the Cloud Foundry environment but the reason why this specific feature is only offered in the Cloud Foundry environment?

In other words: Why is this feature not included in the Neo environment and according to the note will not be added to it?

I believe this is the general direction for SAP to move SAP Cloud Platform applications (such as SAP Analytics Cloud) to move new functionality from neo to Cloud Foundry - https://blogs.sap.com/2019/01/14/create-predictive-scenarios-with-smart-predict-webcast-recap/
