SAP Analytics Cloud Integration into Joule – Part 1

Introduction

SAP Joule enables users to interact with enterprise data using natural language, turning complex analytics into actionable insights. When integrated with SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) through SAP Build Work Zone, Joule becomes a powerful interface for consuming analytical content securely and seamlessly.

In this blog we will start the integration step-by-step including subaccount setup, identity provisioning, destination configuration, SAP Build Work Zone setup, and SAP Analytics Cloud integration.

Prerequisites

Before starting the integration, ensure the following foundational setup is completed. These steps establish the required SAP BTP subaccounts, spaces, and identity services used throughout the configuration.

1. Create the Main BTP Subaccount for Joule and Work Zone

This subaccount hosts SAP Build Work Zone, Joule, and runtime configurations.

1. Create a new SAP BTP Subaccount
   Example name:JouleBATTesting

2. Enable the Cloud Foundry environment for the subaccount.
3. Within the subaccount, create a Cloud Foundry Space:
   Example: JouleSpace
4. Leave all checkboxes at their default values during space creation.

2. Create a Dedicated Subaccount for Identity Provisioning (IdP)

A separate subaccount is recommended for managing identity provisioning and synchronization across systems.

1. Create a new SAP BTP Subaccount
   Example name: JouleIDP
2. Enable the Cloud Foundry environment.
3. Create a Cloud Foundry Space:
   Example: JouleIDPSpace

3. Enable Cloud Identity Services in the IdP Subaccount

1. In the JouleIDP subaccount, navigate to:
   Entitlements → Configure Entitlements

2. Add the following service:
   Service: Cloud Identity Services
   Plan: additional-tenant (Application)
3. Save the entitlement configuration.

4. Create or Subscribe to Cloud Identity Services

You can create the service either from the Service Marketplace or Instances and Subscriptions.

Option A: Using Service Marketplace

1. Go to Service Marketplace.

2. Search for Cloud Identity Services.
3. Select Service Plans and choose additional-tenant.
4. Assign the service to the space JouleIDPSpace (if not already created).
5. Create a new instance or subscription.

Option B: Using Instances and Subscriptions

1. Navigate to Instances and Subscriptions → Create.

2. Select:
   Service: Cloud Identity Services
   Plan: additional-tenant
3. Click Next.
4. Choose:
   Service Type: TEST (or as per your landscape requirement)
5. Complete the creation.

Configure Trust and Enable SAP Build Work Zone

All steps below are performed in the JouleBATTesting subaccount.

5. Establish Trust with the Identity Provider

To allow users provisioned through IPS to authenticate correctly, trust must be established.

Procedure

1. Go to Security → Trust Configuration

2. Choose Establish Trust
3. Select the custom IdP created earlier
4. Click Next → Finish

✔ Trust is now established between the Joule subaccount and the IdP.

6. Generate Destination Trust

1. Navigate to Connectivity → Destination Trust

2. Click Generate Trust

This enables secure communication between destinations and subscribed services.

7. Assign SAP Build Work Zone Entitlements

Procedure

1. Go to Entitlements → Configure Entitlements

2. Search for SAP Build Work Zone, standard edition
3. Select the following service plans:
   standard
standard (Application)
4. Click Add Service Plans and Save

8. Subscribe to SAP Build Work Zone

1. Navigate to Services → Instances and Subscriptions

2. Under Subscriptions, choose Create
3. Select:
   Service: SAP Build Work Zone, standard edition
   Plan: standard
4. Click Create

9. Create SAP Build Work Zone Instance

1. In Instances, click Create

2. Provide the following values:
   Runtime Environment: Cloud Foundry
   Space: JouleSpace
   Instance Name: SWZJoule (user-defined)
3. Click Next → Finish

10. Create and Download the Service Key

1. Open the instance SWZJoule

2. From the three-dot menu (⋮), choose Create Service Key
3. Enter:
   Service Key Name: SWZInstanceKey
4. Create the key and download the JSON file

This file will be used later for destination and IPS configuration.

11. Import Navigation Service Destination

This destination enables navigation between SAP Build Work Zone and Joule.

Procedure

1. Navigate to Connectivity → Destinations (Legacy)

2. Choose Import Destination
3. Import the provided template:
   NavigationService-TEMPL
4. Update the destination properties using values from the service key:
   

   Property	Value
   Name	NavigationService
   URL	Portal URL from service key JSON
   Client ID	clientid
   Client Secret	clientsecret
   Token Service URL	<url>/token

5. Save the destination

Enable Joule and Run the Joule Booster
