MTA Parameter for Subaccount ID

[WouterLemaire]

I have configured ALM Backend Data Collection for my CAP application as described here: https://support.sap.com/en/alm/sap-cloud-alm/operations/expert-portal/data-collection-infrastructure...

The setup of Autoinstrumentation requires me to provide the Subaccount ID in my MTA.yaml config as described here: https://support.sap.com/en/alm/sap-cloud-alm/operations/expert-portal/data-collection-infrastructure...

This all works fine but I don't want to define the Subaccount ID static in the mta.yaml file. This is not correct when I use Transport Management Service to transport to another Subaccount:

Does a parameter in mta.yaml exists for this? I can't find any valuable parameter in this list: https://help.sap.com/docs/hana-cloud-database/sap-hana-cloud-sap-hana-database-developer-guide-for-c...

What would be the alternative? Any idea is welcome!

 Thank you in advance!

Kr, Wouter

There is no system parameter for subaccount id. But you can define a parameter and configure this in an mta extension.

Will that not move the problem? As far as I'm aware you cannot select a different mta extension file for eacht target in cTMS. Or am I missing something?.

You can. MTA extensions can be added to the import queue in cloud transport management.
