Overview

SAP Cloud Transport Management is a service on SAP BTP that manages software deliverables between accounts of different environments by transporting them across various runtimes. It provides transparency to the audit trail of changes and enables separation of concerns between developers and operations teams.

Supported Environments: Cloud Foundry, Kyma, Neo (deprecated)

Supported Content Types:

  • MTA (Multitarget Applications): .mtar files for Cloud Foundry deployments
  • BTP ABAP: References to ABAP objects in Git repositories
  • Application Content: Application-specific formats (.zip, .rar)
  • XSC DU: SAP HANA XS classic delivery units

Quick Start: Initial Setup

Prerequisites

  • Global account administrator access
  • At least one SAP BTP subaccount
  • Cloud Foundry environment enabled

Setup Workflow

1. Configure Entitlements → 2. Subscribe to Service → 3. Set Up Roles → 4. Create Service Instance

Step 1: Configure Entitlements

Navigate to: Global Account > Entitlements > Entity Assignments > Add Service Plans

Select "Cloud Transport Management" and choose plans:

Plan TypePlans AvailablePurpose
Applicationstandard, free, build-runtimeUI access
Instancestandard, export, transport_operatorAPI/programmatic access
Instance plans require an active application plan. The export plan is for CI/CD pipelines.

Step 2: Subscribe to the Service

1. Navigate to Services > Service Marketplace 2. Search for "Cloud Transport Management" 3. Select Create from the Actions menu 4. Choose a subscription plan (standard, free, or build-runtime) 5. Verify status shows "Subscribed"

Step 3: Set Up Role Collections

Pre-delivered Role Collections:

  • TMS_LandscapeOperator_RC
  • TMS_Viewer_RC

Available Roles:

RoleCapabilities
AdministratorFull administration for all TMS tasks
LandscapeOperatorCreate/edit/delete nodes and routes
TransportOperatorManage import queues, forward, reset, schedule
ImportOperatorImport all transport requests
ImportSelectedOperatorImport selected transport requests
ExportOperatorAdd files, create modifiable requests
ViewerRead-only access

Assign roles: Security > Role Collections > [Collection] > Edit > Users

Step 4: Create Service Instance and Key

1. Create a Cloud Foundry space in your subaccount 2. Navigate to Services > Instances and Subscriptions > Create 3. Select:

  • Service: Cloud Transport Management
  • Plan: standard (instance type)
  • Runtime: Cloud Foundry

4. Create a service key - credentials structure:

{
  "uaa": {
    "clientid": "sb-xxxxxx",
    "clientsecret": "xxxxxx",
    "url": "https://<domain>.authentication.sap.hana.ondemand.com"
  },
  "uri": "https://transport-service-app-backend.ts.cfapps.sap.hana.ondemand.com"
}

Landscape Configuration

Transport Nodes

Transport nodes represent source or target endpoints of deployment processes.

Node Types:

  • Physical Nodes: Actual deployment endpoints (e.g., Cloud Foundry spaces)
  • Virtual Nodes: Placeholders for aggregation/distribution without physical deployment

Key Configuration Fields:

FieldDescription
NameCase-sensitive identifier (must match sourceSystemId for Content Agent)
Allow Upload to NodeEnable file uploads for local archives
Forward ModePre-Import (default), Post-Import, On Success, Manual
Content TypeMTA, BTP ABAP, Application Content, XSC DU
DestinationTarget deployment endpoint
Deployment Strategydefault or blue-green (MTA on CF only)

Transport Routes

Routes connect transport nodes. Constraint: A node can be a target for only one route but can be a source for multiple routes.

Transport Landscape Wizard

Use for simple 2-3 node landscapes: 1. Select template (number of nodes) 2. Configure each node 3. Customize route names 4. Review and finish

Destination Configuration

All destinations require HTTPS. Configure in: SAP BTP Cockpit > Connectivity > Destinations

Destination to TMS Service (Source Environment)

Required for applications exporting content directly to TMS.

FieldValue
NameTransportManagementService (or app-specific name)
TypeHTTP
URLService key uri value
AuthenticationOAuth2ClientCredentials
Client IDService key uaa.clientid
Client SecretService key uaa.clientsecret
Token Service URLService key uaa.url + /oauth/token
Additional PropertysourceSystemId = source node name

MTA Deployment Destinations (Cloud Foundry)

Option 1: Basic Authentication (SAP ID users only)

FieldValue
URL (org/space)https://deploy-service.cf.<domain>/slprot/<org>/<space>/slp
URL (space GUID)https://deploy-service.cf.<domain>/slprot/<guid>/slp
AuthenticationBasicAuthentication
UserPlatform user email with SpaceDeveloper role
Get space GUID: cf space <space-name> --guid
URL-encode special characters in org/space names

Option 2: OAuth2Password (Custom IdP support)

FieldValue
URLSame as Basic Auth
AuthenticationOAuth2Password
Client IDcf
Client Secret(leave empty)
Token Service URLhttps://login.cf.<domain>

UserCommunication user from SAP_COM_0948

Import Queue Operations

Import Methods

MethodDescriptionAvailability
Import AllSequential import of all requests in queueAll content types
Import SelectedImport specific requests (may cause inconsistencies)Not BTP ABAP
Import UptoImport all requests up to selected oneBTP ABAP only

Importable Statuses: Initial, Fatal, Repeatable

File Upload

  • Max file size: 1 GB (500 MB on free plan)
  • Storage quota: 50 GB standard, 500 MB free
  • Retention: 30 days (7 days free) after final status
  • Formats: .mtar (MTA), .tgz (XSC DU), .zip (Application Content)

Scheduling

  • Patterns: Daily (hourly, 4x/day) or Weekly (specific days/times)
  • Auto-deactivation: After 3 consecutive fatal failures over 3+ weeks

Automatic Import

Enable per node - immediately processes all importable requests and triggers on new arrivals.

Transport Request Statuses

Import Statuses

StatusDescription
InitialAdded but not imported
RunningImport in progress
SucceededImport successful
WarningCompleted with warnings
ErrorImport failed (retryable)
FatalImport failed (fatal error)
SkippedIntentionally skipped (virtual nodes)
RepeatableReset for re-import
DeletedRemoved from queue
TransientTested and released (modifiable requests)

Lifecycle Statuses

  • Modifiable: Request can be edited
  • Released: In at least one queue with non-archived status
  • Deleted: Deleted from all queues
  • Archived: Cleaned up by retention policy

Troubleshooting

Quick Reference: Common Errors

ErrorLikely CauseQuick Fix
Not FoundWrong CF domainMatch domain to cf api output
Not FoundUnencoded special charsUse space GUID: cf space <name> --guid
ForbiddenMissing SpaceDeveloperAdd role in BTP Cockpit or CF CLI
ForbiddenWrong IdPUse OAuth2Password with origin property
Connection refused (ABAP)Wrong URL patternVerify SAP_COM_0948 communication arrangement URL
Import stuckNon-final statusCheck Transport Action Logs for root cause

MTA Deployment Errors

Error: Not Found during deployment

Causes: 1. Wrong Cloud Foundry domain in URL 2. Special characters in org/space names not URL-encoded

Solutions:

  • Verify domain matches CF API endpoint: cf api
  • Use space GUID instead of names
  • URL-encode special characters (+ → %2B, space → %20)

Error: Forbidden during deployment

Causes: 1. User lacks SpaceDeveloper role 2. User from wrong identity provider

Solutions:

  • Verify user roles: cf space-users <org> <space>
  • Use OAuth2Password auth for custom IdP users

SAP Support

Component: BC-CP-LCM-TMS (Transport Management for application content)

Required for incidents: Region, subaccount ID, reproduction steps, transport action logs, screenshots

For detailed troubleshooting steps, error catalogs by content type, and support procedures, see references/troubleshooting.md.

Security

Service Plans for API Access

PlanAccess Level
standardFull API access
exportExport actions only (CI/CD)
transport_operatorImport, reset, forward, delete only

Node-Specific Restrictions

Use attributes to restrict roles to specific nodes:

  • TmsNodesTransportOperator
  • TmsNodesImport
  • TmsNodesExport

Malware Scanning

TMS does not perform malware scans - target applications are responsible. Exception: MTA deployment descriptors are verified.

Integrations

CI/CD Integration

Use SAP Continuous Integration and Delivery or Project Piper with the export service plan.

Alert Notifications

Configure ALERT_NOTIFICATION_SERVICE destination for:

  • TmsImportFinished / TmsImportStarted
  • TmsTransportRequestAdded
  • TmsNodeImportJobDeactivated
  • TmsStorageQuotaUsage (85% threshold)

API Operations

1. File Upload: Upload content archive 2. Node Export: Attach file to new request, forward to target nodes 3. Node Upload: Upload to specific node (CI/CD scenarios) 4. Import operations: Async - monitor with Get transport action
