# SAP Cloud Transport Management - Administration Reference
|
||||
|
||||
**Source**: [https://github.com/SAP-docs/sap-btp-cloud-transport-management/tree/main/docs/50-administration](https://github.com/SAP-docs/sap-btp-cloud-transport-management/tree/main/docs/50-administration)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Administration Tasks Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Account administrators perform the following ongoing tasks:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Configure transport landscape (destinations, nodes, routes)
|
||||
2. Grant user roles
|
||||
3. Configure archiving settings
|
||||
4. Set up notifications (via Alert Notification Service)
|
||||
5. Plan backup strategy
|
||||
6. Manage storage space
|
||||
7. Update service plan
|
||||
8. Monitor service activities
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Monitoring
|
||||
|
||||
### Home Screen Dashboard
|
||||
|
||||
Provides overview of:
|
||||
- All imports (pie chart with selectable time intervals)
|
||||
- Pending transports (Top n Nodes with importable requests)
|
||||
- Storage usage (capacity and consumption)
|
||||
- Deactivated import schedules
|
||||
|
||||
### Activity Logs
|
||||
|
||||
| Log Type | Purpose |
|
||||
|----------|---------|
|
||||
| Transport Action Logs | Track all transport operations |
|
||||
| Landscape Action Logs | Detect configuration changes |
|
||||
| Audit Logs | Security monitoring |
|
||||
|
||||
### Alert Notifications
|
||||
|
||||
Configure SAP Alert Notification Service for:
|
||||
- Service actions (import start/finish, request added)
|
||||
- Storage threshold warnings (85% quota)
|
||||
|
||||
### API-Based Monitoring
|
||||
|
||||
**API Endpoint**: [https://api.sap.com/api/TMS_v2/overview](https://api.sap.com/api/TMS_v2/overview)
|
||||
|
||||
Use for:
|
||||
- Custom monitoring scripts
|
||||
- Automated transport log retrieval
|
||||
- Integration with external monitoring tools
|
||||
|
||||
### Recommended Practices
|
||||
|
||||
Regularly review:
|
||||
1. Home screen dashboard
|
||||
2. Transport action logs
|
||||
3. Landscape action logs
|
||||
4. Audit logs
|
||||
5. Storage quota
|
||||

## Service Plan Updates
|
||||
|
||||
### Supported Upgrade Paths
|
||||
|
||||
| Current Plan | Target Plan | Prerequisite |
|
||||
|--------------|-------------|--------------|
|
||||
| `free` | `standard` | `standard` application plan entitlement |
|
||||
| `build-code` | `build-runtime` | `build-runtime` application plan entitlement |
|
||||
| `free` | `build-runtime` | `build-runtime` application plan entitlement |
|
||||
| `standard` | `build-runtime` | `build-runtime` application plan entitlement |
|
||||
|
||||
### Update Procedure
|
||||
|
||||
1. Navigate to **BTP Cockpit > Subaccount > Services > Instances and Subscriptions**
|
||||
2. Expand Cloud Transport Management row (arrow control)
|
||||
3. Select three-dot menu next to **Go to Application**
|
||||
4. Choose **Update**
|
||||
5. In **Update Subscription** dialog:
|
||||
- Select target application plan
|
||||
- Click **Update Subscription**

## Customer Data Export
|
||||
|
||||
### Built-In Export Functions
|
||||
|
||||
Three download capabilities in TMS UI:
|
||||
|
||||
| Export Type | Description |
|
||||
|-------------|-------------|
|
||||
| Transport Action Logs | Download transport-related logs and archived logs |
|
||||
| MTA Extension Descriptors | Download `.mtaext` files |
|
||||
| Landscape Configuration | Export nodes, routes, and properties |
|
||||
|
||||
### Data Handling
|
||||
|
||||
- Service does not modify uploaded content
|
||||
- Content persisted only for deployment/import tasks
|
||||
- Content removed after operations complete
|
||||
- **Recommendation**: Maintain independent content repositories
|
||||
|
||||
### Decommissioning Export
|
||||
|
||||
For service termination, formal customer data export process available.
|
||||
|
||||
**Requirements**:
|
||||
- Export must occur before purging phase
|
||||
- Review Terms and Conditions for timeline
|
||||
- Submit incident via component: `BC-CP-LCM-TMS`
|
||||
- Subject prefix: `Customer Data Export Request`
|
||||

|

|
||||
## Backup Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### Data Storage Locations
|
||||
|
||||
| System | Contents |
|
||||
|--------|----------|
|
||||
| PostgreSQL | Landscape configuration, transport requests, log files |
|
||||
| Object Store | Uploaded files (MTAs), archived transport action logs |
|
||||
|
||||
### Automatic Backup
|
||||
|
||||
**PostgreSQL**:
|
||||
- Retention: 14 days
|
||||
- Restore: Datacenter level only (not individual customers)
|
||||
|
||||
**Object Store**:
|
||||
- No backup/restore functions
|
||||
|
||||
### Manual Backup Options
|
||||
|
||||
When automatic backup insufficient:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Transport logs**: Download from system
|
||||
2. **MTA extension descriptors**: Download available
|
||||
3. **Landscape configuration**: Export function
|
||||
|
||||
**Note**: Recreation of MTA from specific commit is typically feasible; accessing uploaded files post-transport usually unnecessary.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Transport Action Log Archiving
|
||||
|
||||
Configure archiving settings for transport action logs.
|
||||
|
||||
### Access
|
||||
|
||||
Transport Action Logs > Settings (gear icon) > Configure Archiving Settings
|
||||
|
||||
### Default Settings
|
||||
|
||||
- **Archiving Frequency**: Every 13 weeks (quarterly)
|
||||
- **Data Retention**: 7 years (actions older than this are archived)
|
||||
- **Archived Location**: Archived Logs tab in Transport Action Logs
|
||||
|
||||
### Configuration Options
|
||||
|
||||
| Setting | Options | Default |
|
||||
|---------|---------|---------|
|
||||
| Mode | Archive, Delete | Archive |
|
||||
| Retention Period | 1-7 years | 7 years |
|
||||
| Archiving Schedule | Adjustable intervals (weekly to 52-week) | 13 weeks |
|
||||
| User Anonymization | Checkbox | Disabled |
|
||||
|
||||
**Mode**:
|
||||
- **Archive**: Moves older actions to secondary storage, then removes from database
|
||||
- **Delete**: Permanently removes actions without archival
|
||||
|
||||
**User Data Anonymization**:
|
||||
- Replaces usernames and email addresses with `***<anonymized>***`
|
||||
- **Irreversible** once applied
|
||||
|
||||
### Implementation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Navigate to Transport Action Logs
|
||||
2. Select settings (gear) icon
|
||||
3. Adjust parameters in dialog
|
||||
4. Save changes
|
||||
|
||||
**Note**: Archiving runs as background jobs, logged in Landscape Action Logs.
