SAP Discovery

Overview

SAP discovery in SAP LeanIX provides an automated way to identify and manage your organization's SAP systems, services, and custom-built extensions. It integrates directly with SAP environments, including cloud, on-premise, and SAP Build components, to keep your application inventories accurate, up-to-date, and aligned with transformation goals. Discoveries appear in the SAP discovery inbox, allowing easy linking to application and IT component fact sheets.

SAP discovery combines two key capabilities:

• SAP Landscape Discovery: Automatically identifies SAP cloud and on-premise systems and services.
• SAP Extension Discovery: Detects custom-built applications from SAP Build projects, including Apps, Code, and Process Automation.

Both features integrate seamlessly with the SAP LeanIX reference catalog, ensuring synchronized and enriched data across application and IT component fact sheets.
