Introduction SAP's Transport management system represents the centralized change and transport system CTS for all R/3 systems.

Features :Enable SAP Admin to manage SAP R/3 Change Request Minimize human interventions in handling transport request

Helps you in organizing development projects Streamlined Change Management

Change & Transport System

• CTS is the central tool for managing changes to Customizing and Repository data • CTS records all changes in change requests • changes in change requests can be linked together logically, or can be completely independent of each other • When you have finished your work, you can release the request •The change request is then used to copy the changes from this client to other clients or systems. This automatic procedure is known as a transport. • Transports of changes by the CTS allow you to develop in one environment, test your development work in a test environment, and then, if the tests are successful, use it productively

Clients and Their Roles We can divide clients into mainly three category :CUST :- SAP system landscape requires a client where Customizing settings, and possibly ABAP Workbench developments, can be made. client is known as the Customizing and development client, or Customizing client for short. The abbreviation CUST is used for this client QTST :- Before you can use the Customizing settings and Workbench developments productively, you need to test them extensively for errors. The client where these tests are made is the Quality Assurance Client, QTST for short. PROD :- Separate client is required for productive use of the SAP System. This client is known as the Production Client, PROD for short.

Basics of Transport Control Transport Layer

A transport layer is assigned to each development class and thus to all the object in that class. Transport layer determines :• in which SAP system development or changes to the repository objects are made • weather objects are transported to other system within the group. • all the project developed in the same system and transported on the same transport route are grouped together to form a transport layer.

Monday, July 27, 2009

9

Basics of Transport Control – Transport Route There are two types of transport route :• Consolidated Routes to make the changes transportable, we set up consolidate route for each transport and specify the source system (dev system) and target system (quality system) Any modified object that have consolidate route setup for their transport layer are Included into transportable change request. • Delivery Routes to transport the work to production system or other SAP system, we need delivery routes. We can setup routes between source and target system via :• parallel forwarding • multilevel forwarding Monday, July 27, 2009

10

Transport Route example via Multilevel Delivery

We can activate multiple Delivery route in sequence

In more complex system Landscape, in layered dev project that have each other as Sources

11

Transport with Import Queue

Any changes to customizing object or Repository object in the development system, do not automatically transported to target system. Make changes to objects

Release a Change request

Placed on the import Queue of the system

Perform Import To use import queue

Two procedure to use import Queue to perform import :Mass Transport Single Transport

Monday, July 27, 2009

12

Procedure of Mass Import

• This procedure imports all the request waiting for import in the queue. • This is good solution if we have large number of transport to administrator • it’s a secure way Process Map :-

Configure transport Route Btw dev / quality & production

Define Mass import As the import method

Monday, July 27, 2009

Specify the dates When you want to Execute mass import

Admin can Schedule the Import periodically

13

Procedure of Single Import

We opt for Single Import under following situation :• for infrequent transportation • if organization doesn’t include fixed import times. • or if we want to maintain production system directly with correction Process Map :Configure transport Route Btw dev / quality & production

Monday, July 27, 2009

Release the modified Objects associated With change request

Import individual Change request

14

Transport Strategy Decide which client & system you need and project to be developed in which client

Client Landscape &Transport Routes

Transport Schedules

For quality assurance, check all the request in the quality system before they being delivered to other systems – TMS

Projects Use project to schedule the transport as well

Decide if have to opt for single transport or mass transport

Monday, July 27, 2009

To keep the dependencies under control, set up the transport schedule

Quality Assurance

Single Imports / Mass Import

This method automatically triggers a workflow ensure close communication bet developer and admin

Transport Workflow

15

Transport Workflow It provides a framework for transporting enhancement or new development. It provides a direct connection between development and transport administration. Ways to use transport workflow :• Transport Workflow as transport strategy • Special transport workflow (mass transport)

Transport Workflow – Process Diagram

Proposal Proposal Create Contains Appear Transport Required in TMS Proposal Transport Work list request

Admin Approves Or reject it

Admin Can change it As well

TMS developer imports if Can if Transport import Complete approves Request is The Into target Successful Proposal system

Transport Organizer

A set of tools in the SAP systems for managing development project in the ABAP workbench and in customizing and for preparing and managing transportation between the SAP system. Features :• Provide functions for creating, documenting and release of change request. • to reorganize development landscape. • can call by SE09 / SE10 There are multiple ways to manage and record the changes for the object, which are being discussed further.

Monday, July 27, 2009

18

Working with Transport Organizer

Steps involve while working with the Transport Organizer :• Record Changes in the Change request • working with Change request from creation to release. • checking weather transported request were successful or not.

Monday, July 27, 2009

19

Function in the Transport Organizer - Change Request A source of information in the transport organizer that records and manage all the modification made to repository and customizing settings during a development work.

Types :• Workbench Request • Customizing Request • Transport of Copies • Relocations

Monday, July 27, 2009

20

Workbench Request A source of information in the transport organizer that records and manage all the modification made to repository and customizing settings during a development work. Few Points :• for every change to the repository object we need to assign that to specified workbench request. • From the system setting (if transport route is defined for the package of these objects) system determines if weather the change request are transportable and to which target system • we can only save the changes if we assign object to a change request.

Monday, July 27, 2009

21

Customizing Request

Change request for coping and transporting changed system setting from client specific tables. Few points :• Customizing request record client-specific customizing settings made in a single client. • Customizing request in the SAP System are all transportable or local depend on System settings. • System uses Standard Transport layer to determine automatically if change request are transportable and to which target system. •we can only save the changes if we assign object to a change request.

22

Transport of Copies



transport object to a specified SAP system.



object are transported with the current version in SAP system.



original location of the object will remain



no delivery to another SAP System.

Monday, July 27, 2009

23

Relocations



Relocation without package change • to create object into another SAP system for temporary basis • It is having same functions as transport of copies • It allows you to move original location of object.



Relocation with package change • Opt this type if want to change the development system for a object for permanent basis. • Allows you to change the original location of object.



Relocation of complete package • Opt this solution when development system of a complete package is to be changed. • it allows us to change the transport layer of the package.

Monday, July 27, 2009

24

Releasing Change Request Create a request in transport organizer or editing object Create Request

Add new task to the existing CR

Create Task

Use request editor to edit the CR and task. We can write document, edit properties & edit object list

Use Request Editor to edit the content of CR / Task Object check when Releasing request

Release Task If the check process is activated, cant release the request unless it is error free

Monday, July 27, 2009

Release Change Request

When you release a task, the object entry it contains r copied to the object list of CR Final release Change request

Roles in the Change & Transport System

The change and the transport system offers the following two roles :•

Transport Administrator • Super user authorized to import new SAP software • Routine transport task like import, approving changes etc • having t-code SA38, STMS, RZ20



Transport Operator • operator is responsible for routine task suck as import, approve software changes, transport, tracking import • using alert monitor to monitor to transport domain • using import tracking functions to check transport • analyze and edit the contents of transport request.
