Transport Manager

What problem does it solve?

Transporting data models and objects between isolated SAP Datasphere tenants is error-prone and time-consuming; this Skill streamlines packaging, dependency resolution, and controlled deployment so teams can move changes from Dev to QA and Prod reliably and audibly. It reduces import failures caused by missing dependencies, inconsistent versions, or unavailable connections and provides validation and rollback guidance to protect production environments.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Package Creation: Plan and build CSN/JSON transport packages with metadata, changelogs, and semantic versioning.
• Dependency Analysis: Automated and manual checks that detect transitive dependencies, external connections, parameters, and potential circular references.
• Export & Import Workflows: End-to-end export (compression, checksum, encryption) and import (conflict resolution, overwrite/rename/skip options) with post-import verification.
• SAP Content Network Integration: Discover and import Content Network packages with guidance for customization and connection mapping.
• Conflict & Connection Handling: Interactive strategies for existing object updates, missing dependencies, and absent connections, plus rollback and backup recommendations.
• Use Case: Migrate a Customer Analytics suite from Development to QA, validate dependencies and connections, then deploy the approved package to Production with version tracking.

Quick Start

Use the Transport Manager to create an export package from your Dev space, verify dependencies and connections, and import the package into the QA tenant with chosen conflict resolutions.
