SAP Cloud Transport Management service lets you manage software deliverables between accounts of different environments (such as Neo and Cloud Foundry), by transporting them across various runtimes. This includes application artifacts as well as their respective application-specific content.

SAP Cloud Transport Management service adds transparency to the audit trail of changes so that you get information about who performed which changes in your production environment, and when they did it. At the same time, the service enables a separation of concerns: For example, a developer of an application or of SAP Cloud content artifacts can trigger the transport of changes in a development subaccount, while the resulting import into the test, and production subaccount is handled by a central operations team.

Features

Transport to different environments

Source and target subaccounts of transports can reside in different global accounts. SAP Cloud Transport Management can handle transports in Neo and in Cloud Foundry environments.
