On the SAP Cloud Transport Management home screen, choose Landscape Visualization from the navigation pane.
The canvas displays all transport nodes and transport routes that are known in SAP Cloud Transport Management service. For each transport node, the overall import status is displayed.
-
When the overall status is Error or Fatal, the node displays an (Error) icon and it's marked in red.
-
When an import ended with a warning, the node displays a ❗ icon and it's marked in orange.
-
When all imports were successful, the node displays a (Success) icon and it's marked in green.
Important node configurations are indicated by additional icons. For example, when imports are scheduled for this node, the (Import Scheduler) icon is displayed, or when automatic import is enabled, the (Automatic Import Enabled) icon is displayed.
Virtual transport nodes are represented by a dashed line.
The graph overview on the right provides a thumbnail view of the entire landscape. You can use it to navigate more easily in larger landscapes.
The dropdown menus offer options to adjust the orientation and placement of nodes on the canvas.

(Export Landscape)
Export the landscape configuration to a
.zipfile, for example, for backup purposes. (Import Landscape)
Import a landscape configuration
.zipfile that you've previously exported, for example, because you want to replicate an existing landscape in another subaccount.The following prerequisites apply to the import:
- You need Administrator or LandscapeOperator authorization.
- You can only import a complete landscape. Importing partial landscapes isn't supported.
- The landscape configuration to be imported contains only unique transport nodes and routes that don't yet exist in the current transport landscape.
- The file to be imported hasn't been modified manually and doesn't exceed 10 MB.
- The version of SAP Cloud Transport Management where the landscape configuration was exported from is the same as the version where you want to import the configuration. You can check that the version is identical by comparing the version you can find in the
.zipfile with the current version. You find the current version by selecting ⚙️ in the title bar and choosing About from the dropdown menu.
If a prerequisite isn't fulfilled, you can't import the landscape configuration.
In the Landscape Action Logs, the number of imported transport nodes and routes are logged for the import action.
You must export and import destinations separately. You must manually maintain credentials after importing a landscape.
