Overview
You will learn
- How to create the destination to SAP Cloud Transport Management in the SAP Integration Suite source subaccount
Prerequisites
Prerequisites
- You’ve completed tutorial Create a Transport Destination and Configure the SAP Integration Suite Transport Landscape.
- 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.
Steps
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.

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.
- 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.)
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:
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 Choose Instances and Subscriptions (1). On the Instances tab (2), click on the key link (3).

Find cTMS service key 2 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 asclientid,clientsecret, andurlfrom theuaasection.
Find cTMS service key 3
Open the SAP Integration Suite source subaccount trial in a new tab.

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

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

Create cTMS Destination 2 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 TransportManagementServiceDescription For example: Destination to SAP Cloud Transport ManagementURL Enter the value of the urifrom 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.comAuthentication Select OAuth2ClientCredentials. Client ID Enter the value of clientidfrom theuaasection of the service key details.Client Secret Enter the value of the clientsecretfrom theuaasection of the service key details.Token Service URL Enter the value of urlfrom theuaasection of the service key details and append/oauth/tokento the URL. For example:https://cpi-dev-12345678.authentication.us10.hana.ondemand.com/oauth/token
Create cTMS Destination 3 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 Enter
sourceSystemIdas the property (1), andDEV_NODEas the value (2). Choose Create (3).
Create cTMS Destination 5 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.
