Prerequisites

Scenario Overview

The destination to SAP Cloud Transport Management service defines the endpoint of SAP Cloud Transport Management service. It contains the entry node of the transport landscape. Like this, SAP Content Agent knows where to transfer the packaged integration content. The destination has the fixed name TransportManagementService.

Scenario Overview

  • Step 1

    This step assumes that you’re running the tutorial in the SAP BTP Trial account. If you have an enterprise account, open SAP BTP Cockpit in your enterprise account that you use as the source.

    1. To access SAP BTP Cockpit of your trial account, go to your SAP BTP Trial landing page and choose Go To Your Trial Account. (The name of the button may vary.)
  • Step 2

    Before you start creating the destination to SAP Cloud Transport Management service, make sure that you have the details of the service key of the SAP Cloud Transport Management instance at hand that you created as part of tutorial Get Started with SAP Cloud Transport Management. To do this, proceed as follows:

    1. In your SAP BTP source account, go to the central administrative subaccount. To do this, click on the Central Services tile.

      Find cTMS service key 1
    2. Choose Instances and Subscriptions (1). On the Instances tab (2), click on the key link (3).

      Find cTMS service key 2
    3. The key looks as follows. Leave the service key open so that you copy the required values in the next step, or note down the values of uri (you have to scroll down), as well as clientid, clientsecret, and url from the uaa section.

      Find cTMS service key 3
  • Step 3
    1. Open the SAP Integration Suite source subaccount trial in a new tab.

      Create cTMS Destination 0
    2. Choose Connectivity > Destinations (1). The two existing destinations are displayed. To create a new destination, choose Create (2).

      Create cTMS Destination 1
    3. In the Create New Destination dialog, choose From Scratch (1), and Create (2).

      Create cTMS Destination 2
    4. In the Create Destination window, enter details for the following fields (1), and then scroll down (2).

      Keep the values of fields not mentioned in the table unchanged.

      Field Value
      Name TransportManagementService
      Description For example: Destination to SAP Cloud Transport Management
      URL Enter the value of the uri from the service key details (scroll down to the bottom of the service key). For example: https://transport-service-app-backend.ts.cfapps.us10.hana.ondemand.com
      Authentication Select OAuth2ClientCredentials.
      Client ID Enter the value of clientid from the uaa section of the service key details.
      Client Secret Enter the value of the clientsecret from the uaa section of the service key details.
      Token Service URL Enter the value of url from the uaa section of the service key details and append /oauth/token to the URL. For example: https://cpi-dev-12345678.authentication.us10.hana.ondemand.com/oauth/token
      Create cTMS Destination 3
    5. You need to add the name of the source node of the SAP Integration Suite source subaccount as configured in SAP Cloud Transport Management service, here DEV_NODE, as an additional property to the destination. This way, SAP Content Agent knows which transport node to use when exporting the integration content. To do this, choose Add Property.

      Create cTMS Destination 4
    6. Enter sourceSystemId as the property (1), and DEV_NODE as the value (2). Choose Create (3).

      Create cTMS Destination 5
    7. The destination was created.

      Create cTMS Destination 6

      You can test the destination by displaying its details, and choosing Check Connection. However, a successful check result doesn’t guarantee successful export. We recommend that you run a test transport after completing the entire configuration of the transport scenario. This helps ensure that you’ve correctly completed all configuration tasks and have all necessary authorizations.
