Transporting Your Content Through SAP Cloud Transport Management

Transport content packages across different landscapes by integrating SAP Analytics Cloud with SAP Cloud Transport Management system. This integration allows you to create insightful stories where the objects can seamlessly transport between landscapes. This involves:

  1. Configuration
  2. Transport Content Network Packages

Configuration from SAP Cloud Transport Management

Prerequisites:
Procedure:
  • As an administrator of SAP Cloud Transport Management, set up an environment to transport content objects directly in SAP Analytics Cloud, see Initial Setup to Transport Content Objects Directly in an Application.
  • Configure the landscape for your transports. i.e., creating transport destinations, creating transport nodes, creating transport routes, create a destination in SAP Business Technology Platform cockpit of the DEV subaccount of your cloud application that points to Cloud Transport Management. See Configure your Landscape. For an example scenario, see Sample Configuration Scenario: Transport of Content Archives directly in another Application.
  • Go to your SAP Business Technology Platform subaccount. Choose the SAP Cloud Transport Management instance of your choice. In the instance details page, choose … → Download to download the SAP Cloud Transport Management instance key.
  • Every target node should have a destination. To create transport destinations in your SAP BTP subaccount, see Configure your Landscape.
    • To integrate with SAP Analytics Cloud, Destination should have an endpoint URL in this format: https://<realm_ID>/api/v1/content/deploy
    • Add the additional property such as PLATFORM_TYPESand value as ACN_NEO only for Neo destinations.
