# Use the SAP Content Agent Service UI to Start the Transport
<!-- description --> As an alternative to managing transports directly in the SAP Integration Suite UI, you can also use the SAP Content Agent UI to start a transport. In this case, some extra configuration steps are needed, and some steps from the previous tutorials may no longer apply.  

## Prerequisites
 - You've completed the tutorials:
 - [Transport SAP Integration Suite Content using SAP Cloud Transport Management service and SAP Content Agent service](btp-transport-management-cpi-01-use-case)
 - [Set Up the SAP Integration Suite Source Subaccount](btp-transport-management-cpi-02-set-up-source-account) with the following exceptions: You can omit **Step 3: Create a Service Instance for SAP Content Agent**, **Step 4: Create a Service Key for the SAP Content Agent Instance**, and **Step 5: Create an SAP Content Agent Destination in the SAP BTP Source Account**. Instead, you subscribe to SAP Content Agent. The subscription process is part of the current tutorial.
 - [Set Up the SAP Integration Suite Target Subaccount](btp-transport-management-cpi-03-set-up-target-account)
 - [Create a Transport Destination and Configure the SAP Integration Suite Transport Landscape](btp-transport-management-cpi-04-connect-source-and-target)
 - [Establish an Export Connection from SAP Content Agent Service in the Source Subaccount to SAP Cloud Transport Management Service](btp-transport-management-cpi-05-create-ctms-destination)

## You will learn
   - All configuration steps required to transport SAP Integration suite content from a source subaccount to a target subaccount using the SAP Content Agent UI on the source subaccount to start the transport. 
   

## Scenario Overview

This tutorial outlines the steps to start the transport of SAP Integration Suite content using the SAP Content Agent UI. Instead of creating an SAP Content Agent instance, service key, and a destination to SAP Content Agent on the source subaccount, you need a subscription to SAP Content Agent and the appropriate role collection assigned to start the UI. You don't need to enable the transport in SAP Integration Suite. 

>Since you manage the content transport using the SAP Content Agent UI, SAP Integration Suite doesn't need to notify SAP Content Agent about new transport candidates. Content suitable for transport is directly accessed through the *CloudIntegration* destination that was previously set up. As a result, the *ContentAssemblyService* destination isn't needed.

>If you've already configured the entities in the previous tutorials, you can leave them as they are. They won't interfere with the setup for using the UI.

### Open the SAP BTP Cockpit

>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. In this tutorial, you need access to both the SAP BTP source and target accounts.  

1. To access SAP BTP Cockpit of the source SAP BTP trial account, go to your [SAP BTP Trial landing page](https://account.hanatrial.ondemand.com/trial/#/home/trial) and choose **Go To Your Trial Account**. (The name of the button may vary.)
   
    - You will use the **trial** subaccount to open SAP Content Agent UI and start the transport.

    - You will use the **Central Services** subaccount to go to the SAP Transport Management service UI and start the import of the integration content.  

2. To access SAP BTP Cockpit of the target SAP BTP trial account, ask your colleague to log on to their SAP BTP account.  
   
    You or your colleague will use the **trial** subaccount to go to the SAP Integration Suite UI. You'll verify **before** the transport that the integration content doesn't exist in the **Design** section. **After** the transport, you'll verify that it was imported there.


### Subscribe to SAP Content Agent

1. In the SAP Integration Suite source subaccount **trial**, choose **Services > Service Marketplace** from the navigation on the left (1). In the search field, filter for *Content Agent Service* (2). On the **Content Agent Service** tile, select the three dots **...**, and choose **Create** (3).
