Question

Dear All,
When I am trying to open my BEx query designer. for creation of new queries. I getting a pop up message says.
The standard SAP transport system is active.
SAP GUI connection is not activated for current connection to BI system.
DO you want to reconnect to BI system and activate SAP GUI connection.
Yes              No
Tabs are available.
Now we had a individual pacakges for different areas of reporting and would assign the transports if I want to make changes to that particular query in the pacakage for Bex transports.
with this message when I say yes it goes to Query designer and if I make changes to the existing query it should collect in my transport assigned but its asking a transport if I save the query.
Also If a new query is created it must collect in TMP but while i save the new query its asking for the transport.
I am afraid if any other changes for different queries would also collect in my transport.
Can any please advise how would I revert back to individual package system transport assignment.
Thanks again.

No , It will not have adverse effect:
There are just 2 different ways of handling object using Standard and
BW Transport System modes:
1. Standard CTS.
Assignment to a Package and Transport Request is done immediately when you create an object. This is as it is
for any object in the system, for example, a function or a program. System raises a pop-up for Package and
Corresponding Transport Request within this Package. This is fine for some objects, but not very useful
for BW queries which are complex R/3 objects consisting of many single query elements (R3TR ELEM). Any
additions to query definitions will raise the transport pop-up asking for Package/Request confirnation.
2. BW CTS.
Here you initially assign all newly created object to $TMP. This means all those objects are being handled as
temporary objects. Package $TMP requires no request at all and can not use any request. This is done
mainly to avoid confusion from the endusers. Transport of such objects is possible nevertheless from the
Transport Connection. Here you may select an object, collect all required related objects and assign a
corresponding Package and Transport Request. Releasing of this request will deliver the included objects
into the defined target system.
Automatically a Standard BEx Request is required in case when you have already transported objects.
For example, a query is transported from any other system has to be changed. If there is no special transport
request avaiable in this Package, the changes will be registered in the Standard BEx Request.
This is up to you to select this or that CTS mode. Please have a look at the SAP note 992965. It describes some
related errors, but also gives a theoretical overview.
