SAP Cloud Platform Transport Management now also available for subscription
As you might know, SAP Cloud Platform Transport Management is a purely cloud-based solution for transporting development artifacts or application configuration content between SAP Cloud Platform subaccounts (respectively Cloud Foundry spaces).
While the service has been generally available in a consumption-based pricing model since December 2018, we are happy to announce today that it is now also available for subscription-based customers via SAP Store:
To get more information on the new subscription option and to buy our service, please access its service details page in SAP Store.
The service is offered for the same price via both pricing models, at 18 EUR per used GB bandwidth of data uploaded to the service per month. Please be aware that we generally only charge for data uploaded to the service – single transports of uploaded contents are not charged additionally and based on the results of our beta phase and feedback of our customers, 1 GB can suffice for hundreds of transports (depending on the use case).
In both commercialization models, you can buy the service once and then subscribe to it in an arbitrary number of subaccounts, where the data uploaded to the service sums up to the respective global account.
Hi Boris
Thanks a lot for the blog.I added SAP Cloud Platform Transport Management service to a subscription-based account via Control centre. I assigned a standard plan via entitlement to a subaccount. But I can't see this service in Subscriptions of my subaccount.
Kind Regards
Subit Benny
Hi Subit,
Sorry to hear that you are facing issues in subscribing the service. SAP Cloud Platform Transport Management service is available via CPEA and for subscription-based consumption via SAP Store. Do I get it right that a subscription of the service itself is in place (triggered via SAP Store)? If yes, please make sure to follow the description in Initial Setup --> Provide Access to SAP Cloud Platform Transport Management --> Assign Entitlements to Subaccounts.
If the issue should persist, please get back to me!
Thanks,
Boris
Thanks, Boris Zarske for the timely help. In order to subscribe from the control centre
We need two entitlements on our global account
The second one is missing in my global account.
Hi Subit,
Thanks for sharing the solution for your issue here, which should also help other users of the service.
Best regards,
Boris
Hi Boris Zarske Great blog post!
I am working on a PoC for CTM. You may help me with the below question.
Due that we have 5 tenant, should we buy the CTM service per each tenant?
Best regards,

Hi Alexander Clen Riva,
Thanks a lot for your feedback and for reaching out!
Technically, SAP Cloud Transport Management service is a central service (that is, only one instance of the service is required) and normally, one central instance of SAP Cloud Transport Management service does also suffice.
You can set up the service on any Cloud Foundry subaccount and then handle the transports between both Neo and between Cloud Foundry subaccounts, for which you can model different transport landscapes inside the service, as required. If you should have different teams, the service does allow to configure permissions about who is allowed to trigger transports and who can handle those on which subaccounts.
So, our recommendation is to have one instance of our service for your overall landscape. Still, if you want to have several instances of the service (such as that different teams get their instance of the service), this would still be possible.
I hope this does clarify your question - if not, please do not hesitate to get back any time!
Best regards,
Boris
