How to execute class to register business configuration

Prerequisites

You need an SAP BTP, ABAP environment trial user or a license.
Catalog SAP_CA_BC_IC_LND_PC needs to be assigned to business user, in order to work with Maintain Business Configurations App. The business catalog is contained in the business role template: SAP_BR_BPC_EXPERT.
