Reflecting Your Delivery Landscape in Transport Management

In order to reflect your delivery landscape in SAP Cloud Transport Management, you have to perform two major steps:

1. Set up SAP Cloud Transport Management. This has to be done only once, because all your delivery landscapes can be managed from one central instance of SAP Cloud Transport Management.
2. Configure your delivery landscape inside your SAP Cloud Transport Management instance. This part has to be done for every transport scenario you wish to implement.

Watch the video below to learn more about the steps necessary to set up SAP Cloud Transport Management.

As a release manager of Rotating Banana, you have decided to use a typical three sub-account landscape in SAP BTP for your extension projects. The sub-accounts for development, test and production have already been set up.

As an SAP BTP administrator at Rotating Banana, you have decided to run SAP Cloud Transport Management in the development sub-account, so the developers can easily get read access to SAP Cloud Transport Management in order to check the results of the transports.

Therefore, you entitle the development sub-account for SAP Cloud Transport Management and subscribe to it. You create three role collections (SAP Cloud Transport Management Administrator with full access, Transport Manager with all transport-related authorizations and a Viewer with display authorizations only) and assign these roles to the respective users.

To prepare the planned integration with the SAP Continuous Integration and Delivery service, you also create a service instance of SAP Cloud Transport Management and a service key.

The SAP documentation provides details about the enablement of SAP Cloud Transport Management including extensive screenshots. The entry point can be found here: ‘Set Up the Environment to Transport Content Archives directly in an Application’.

The individual steps are described here:

• Configuring Entitlements to SAP Cloud Transport Management
• Subscribing to SAP Cloud Transport Management
• Setting Up Role Collections
• Creating a Service Instance and a Service Key

The next step is to reflect this landscape in SAP Cloud Transport Management and prepare to connect cTMS to the SAP Continuous Integration and Delivery service.

As an SAP BTP administrator at Rotating Banana, you have to set up the transport scenario 'MTA Deployment on Cloud Foundry'.

For this, you create two destinations pointing to each of the target subaccounts of your landscape (test and production).

In the SAP Cloud Transport Management UI you create three transport nodes (Dev, Test, Prod) and connect them with two transport routes (Dev to Test, Test to Prod). With this, you have a simple linear three node landscape.

To enable the integration with the CI&D service you provide the SAP Cloud Transport Management service key to the CI&D service where it's stored as a credential.

The SAP Documentation provides details about how to model your delivery landscape in SAP Cloud Transport Management including extensive screenshots. The entry point can be found here: Configuring the Landscape.

The individual steps are described here:

• Create Transport Destinations
• Create Transport Nodes
• Create Transport Routes

To learn more about the possible integrations and the details of their setup, see the documentation ‘Integration in Development and Change Management Processes and with Other Services’.

You are now able to perform the steps necessary to reflect your delivery landscape in SAP Cloud Transport Management.

For this, you learned how to subscribe to SAP Cloud Transport Management and how to build your transport landscape from destinations, transport nodes, and transport routes.

Lastly, you gained insights into the integration of SAP Cloud Transport Management with other applications like the SAP Continuous Integration and Delivery service.
