- How to configure entitlements.

- How to enable the SAP BTP Kyma runtime in your subaccount in SAP BTP.

- How to create an SAP HANA Cloud service instance in the SAP BTP cockpit.

- How to enable the CAP Operator community module in your Kyma cluster.

- You have an [enterprise global account](https://help.sap.com/docs/btp/sap-business-technology-platform/getting-global-account#loiod61c2819034b48e68145c45c36acba6e) in SAP BTP. To use services for free, you can sign up for an SAP BTPEA (SAP BTP Enterprise Agreement) or a Pay-As-You-Go for SAP BTP global account and use the free tier services only. See [Using Free Service Plans](https://help.sap.com/docs/btp/sap-business-technology-platform/using-free-service-plans?version=Cloud).

- You have a platform user. See [User and Member Management](https://help.sap.com/docs/btp/sap-business-technology-platform/user-and-member-management).

- You're an administrator of the global account in SAP BTP.

- You have a subaccount in SAP BTP to deploy the services and applications.

To deploy the Incident Management sample application, you need the following entitlements:

| Service | Plan | Quota required |

| ------------- | :-----------: | ----: |

| Kyma runtime | free (Environment) | 1 |

| SAP HANA Cloud | hana-free | 1 |

| SAP HANA Cloud | tools (Application) | 1 |

| SAP HANA Schemas & HDI Containers | hdi-shared | 1 |

| HTML5 Application Repository Service | app-host | 1 |

Let's enable your subaccount to use the SAP BTP, Kyma runtime.

1. Navigate to your subaccount and choose **Enable Kyma** under the **Kyma Environment** tab.

2. In the **Enable Kyma** popup, change the values for **Instance Name** and **Cluster Name** as needed and choose **Create**.

<!-- border; size:540px --> 

> Make sure that the instance name is CLI-friendly. CLI-friendly names make it easier to manage your instances with the SAP BTP command-line interface as well.

>

> A CLI-friendly name is a short string (up to 32 characters) that contains only alphanumeric characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9), periods, underscores, and hyphens. It can't contain white spaces.

>

> When enabling the runtime, you notice that the instance name is generated automatically for you. You can use that name or replace it with the name of your choice.

1. Navigate to your subaccount and choose **Services** &rarr; **Service Marketplace** on the left.

2. Type **SAP HANA Cloud** in the search box and choose **Create**.

<!-- border; size:540px --> 

4. Choose *Confiure manually* as **Instance Configuration** and *SAP HANA Database* as **Instance Type**. Then, choose **Next Step**.

<!-- border; size:540px --> 

5. In the **Instance Name** field, enter *application-hana-instance*.

6. In the **Administrator Password** and **Confirm Administrator Password** fields, enter a password for DBADMIN. Choose **Next Step**.
