Service provider settings

Basis administrators sometimes need to control certain features of the SDK across the entire system, from client 000. This is a common scenario for hosting and service providers that operate systems in their own Amazon account on behalf of their customers. Amazon SDK for SAP ABAP supports Service Provider settings. These settings are configured in client 000, and affect the SDK across all clients. Service Provider settings are not supported in SDK for SAP ABAP - BTP edition.

Service Provider settings are configured in transaction /AWS1/IMG, and must be configured in client 000. Service Provider settings in other clients are ignored. The settings in client 000 take effect across all clients, and supercede other IMG settings in case of conflict.

Use the following steps to configure the Service Provider settings in client 000.

  1. Expand the Service Provider Settings branch in transaction /AWS1/IMG.

  2. Choose Service Provider Guardrails

  3. Select New Entries, and adjust the settings based on your business requirements.

    1. Disable EC2 Metadata – prevents the SDK from accessing EC2 instance metadata in all clients, even if an SDK Profile is configured to authenticate using EC2 instance metadata. The SDK raises an exception if an ABAP program attempts to access instance metadata using the SDK.

  4. Select Save.
