## Application details
<a name="application-details"></a>

To view the details of a registered application, open the [AWS Console for SAP applications](https://console.aws.amazon.com/awsforsap/home), choose **Applications**, and then choose the application. The application details page contains the following tabs.

**Example**  
View the topology of your Systems Manager for SAP application, including type and status. The child components are embedded under parent components. Select each component to view its details. Tenant database details can be viewed from components of type HANA.
View the EC2 instances and EBS volumes associated with your Systems Manager for SAP application.
View a summary of AWS Backup recovery points and backup jobs for your Systems Manager for SAP application. To modify backup schedules or manage backups, choose **Go to AWS Backup** to open the AWS Backup console. This tab is only available for SAP HANA applications.
View system and application tags assigned to your Systems Manager for SAP application as key-value pairs. Choose **Manage user tags** to add, modify, or delete tags.
View the results of previous configuration check evaluations by selecting a check, or choose **Run checks** to perform a new evaluation. For more information, see [Run Configuration Checks](configuration-checks-console.md).
View operations performed on your Systems Manager for SAP application. Select an operation ID to view more details and events associated with that operation.
View cost information for your Systems Manager for SAP application. AWS Cost Explorer uses tags to track your application costs. Choose **Activate application tags** to activate the tags associated with your application. Cost Explorer can take up to 24 hours to report costs after activating tags. For more information, see [Using cost allocation tags](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/cost-alloc-tags.html).  
Costs are calculated based on the AWS resources used by your application. Keep this in mind when evaluating single-node setups where SAP HANA and SAP ABAP share the same EC2 instance, or other configurations where applications share resources.
