Zoom, Search, and View options

Zoom based

The View level drop-down has Zoom based as the default option – using the mouse wheel, users can zoom in from solutions level down to tiers level, and then to individual application and database server level. Or, they can choose Solutions, Tiers, or Servers from the drop-down to directly view the selected level.

Search

The Search feature () lets users quicky find and filter landscapes, solutions, systems, or infrastructure by SID, description, or labels within the Skyline view. Selecting from list of possible results navigates directly to that element in the 3D view.

The Search feature () lets users search within a landscape for its Solution or Description, a Tier by SID or DB-SID, or by Label. When you enter a search term; for example, ‘production’, the results will show all matching tiers across your landscape with their associated labels displayed.

Search results display matching elements with their labels across the landscape.

View Options

The View options menu provides controls to switch between different landscape views (Actuals, Delays, or Planned) or apply an On Hold status filter to customize how the landscape is displayed.

Actuals: Shows the current, real-world ("as-is") landscape state and currently deployed systems.
Planned: Displays planned future changes, target landscape states, and upcoming deployments or landscape modifications. This is typically used together with the Time Travel functionality.
Delays: Highlights activities, projects, systems, or landscape elements that have schedule delays. Details can be viewed through the List of Delays panel.
On Hold: Shows items or change activities whose execution is paused or temporarily suspended pending further action or approval. These are separated from active planned changes to improve visibility of project status.

Prerequisites

The user must have Landscape Owner or Landscape Viewer role authorization assigned.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Zoom based:

Log in to SAP for Me: https://me.sap.com/home
Go to Portfolio Products > My Product Portfolio
Select Landscape Hub. Landscape Hub will open in a new window
Expand the sidebar on the top left-hand side corner and select Skyline.
Select a landscape and data center from the drop-down menus.
Select Zoom based in the View level drop-down.
Use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out and navigate between landscape (multi-solution), solution (tiers and components), and system level (server infrastructure) views.
Hover the mouse on each component and click to view its main information, labels, details, product versions, and connections.
Click Rotate to rotate the plate of the landscape.

Note: Rotate option

The Rotate option enables rotation of the 3D skyline view to examine the landscape from multiple angles, providing enhanced spatial perspective and better visualization of system relationships.

Clicking Rotate rotates the 3D plate of the landscape, allowing you to switch between viewing the Primary side and the High Availability side. You can see both perspectives of your landscape architecture by rotating the view.

View Options:

Go to Landscape Hub > Skyline
Select a landscape and data center from the drop-down menus.
Toggle the switch on for either Actuals, Delays, Planned or On Hold in the View options menu.

On doing so, landscape view for the selected View option is displayed.

Actuals: Shows the current productive landscape.
Planned: Shows future approved landscape changes.
Delays: Shows delayed implementations or activities.
On Hold: Shows paused or suspended changes/projects.

These toggles can be combined with Time Travel, Filtering, and Landscape Navigation features to analyze the landscape from different perspectives and timeframes.

Expected Results

Zoom based

This Zoom based navigation lets the users progressively view the landscape, solution, and system level view; and analyze the architecture at an appropriate level of detail for their current task.

View options

Practical example: If you're investigating why a new system is not visible in production:

Select Planned to verify the system is scheduled.
Enable Delays to check whether deployment is delayed.
Enable On Hold to see whether the change has been paused.
Switch to Actuals to compare against the current productive landscape.
