ABAP transports without TMS?

Hi,
A colleague recently asked this question so I wanted to know your view as well.
Is it 'technically' possible to export/import change requests from OS level (tp commands) when TMS is not configured? (say, in some emergency situation etc..)
Any side effects?
Thanks,
Roshan

Hi,
If TMS is not configured you won't be able to transport from the command line as the TP profile files would not have been generated. Also, there would be no common transport directories so to where would you export and from where would you import. So it won't be possible. Hope that answers your query :).
Thanks,
Neha

  • User exit to run before importing abap transport in TMS

    Hi,
    I need to run a check before importing an ABAP transport.
    I've seen a BADI that can be used after transport, also handy, but I really need to check dependencies before importing as well.
    Is there a user exit or badi that can do this?
    Thanks
    Tom

    Hello,
    This is possible in a crude away. SAP fires two events in the Transport Import process, SAP_IMPORT_START and SAP_IMPORT_STOP
    You can define your actions according to your needs with jobs scheduled to be triggered on these events.
    So basically you write your program to run the checks you need before import starts and take actions necessary.
    However there are some limitations around this:

  • Manage transports (without ChaRM) in Solution Manager?

    Hi,
    How do I manage transports in target systems (ECC, APO, etc.) using Solution Manager. We have the Dev systems (ECC, APO) connected using RFC to Solution Manager. Configuration (SOLAR02) will be done using Solution Manager. So the question is - how do we manage transports (without ChaRM being present) using Solution Manager?
    Any suggestions/recommendations? I would greatly appreciate any feedback.
    Edited by: GiveMeFood on Sep 22, 2011 10:05 PM

    Hi,
    One of the main features available with the Solution Manager is ChaRM. It has been introduced to basically deal with the diverse transports management and related control framework over the SAP lanscape. Having a Solution Manager and not using ChaRM defeats the purpose of installing a Solution Manager in the first place. A better approach would be to incorporate the features provided by the system.
    In my opinion - you should configure ChaRM, else it would not make sense to have the SolMan in the landscape. You would start using one of the features which you already have !

  • Workflow Approval for CTS+ for NON ABAP Transport

    Hi
    We have a NW Portal system currently using CTS+ for transport.
    We would like to incorporate a workflow approval for transport across the different landscape (DEV -> TEST -> QA -> PRD) with CTS+. The workflow approval would work in such a way that when someone approves a transport request from DEV->TEST, the Basis Admin will then perform the import to TEST. So this approval will also be needed from TEST -> QA and QA -> PRD.
    Does Solution Manager provide such workflow approval for NON ABAP transport?
    I do hope anyone has such experience to share.
    Thanks.
    Regards
    mike

    Hi Mike
    Yes solution Manager CHARMS or Change request managment functionality uses CTS+ to move the Non ABAP requests
    it uses IBASE as identifier for systems and for more can search sdn
    check this link too

  • How to delimit leading zero in vendor number in OO ABAP ALV without using conversion routine

    Hi,
    How to delimit leading zero in OO ABAP ALV without using conversion routine, because I have many fields like vendor, customer, material number etc..
    How to address this leading zero.
    I appreciate your quick response.
    Regards,
    Nalini S.

    Hi Nalini,
    Delimiting leading zeros in fields has to be done via conversion routines, as suggested by Vadamalai you need to pass on the conversion routine name in you field catalog variable.
    Now as to which object oriented approach are you using to have your table contents display in ALV as it matters  -
    Using FACTORY method of CL_SALV_TABLE class, or
    Using SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY method of CL_GUI_ALV_GRID class.
    Using FACTORY method of CL_SALV_TABLE will do your own work, no need to apply any conversion routines or set long/medium/short text for columns as we do in field catalogs!

  • Do we need to setup traditional ABAP Transport Management System on XI?

    I was confused that do we need to setup ABAP transport Management System on XI, since the IR and ID object will use CMS or File to transport between DEV->QAS->PRD. If we still need, could you pls let me know why we need it?
    one more question is: if we maintained some parameter in XI dev, say, we maintained Integration Server patameter to let system can moniter Syn message, if we want this paramter used in XI QAS, is that the only way to maintain it mannully in QAS, or we have other way to make it? thank you for your help

    Zhang,
    You are absolutely correct. You transport all your ID and IR objects using CMS or File transports.
    But lets suppose you have developed some zprograms or abap mapping in XI. This basically reside on the ABAP stack. So for this objects to transport we will follow the procedure what we do normally to transporting the R3 objects. So what ever you develop on the ABAP stack we need to transport to QA and to Prod using ABAP transport system.

  • ABAP Transport Request

    I have a old abap transport request for a program which was transported to qa and production to restore the old version in the production server.
    when new changes were made to the program , along with the changes the latest version has gone to production , how can i solve this problem

    Hello,
    You need to create a new Transport, retrieve the old version of your program and send that Transport to Production.
    Once the Transport is released from your system, then you can again change the program in a new TR and make the new changes.
    Hope this helps,

  • ABAP Transport versions

    Hi!
    I faced now with the following problem with ABAP transport:
    1. transport (1 month ago) - transported to QAS
    2. transport (1 week ago) - transported to QAS - then transported to PRD.
    Now I tranported the 1.st transport to the PRD and it was setting back the program to that state, what it was 1 month ago. It seems for me, it was storing that version, and that version is transported, instead of the actual state.
    Does anyone know, where are these program versions stored?
    Thank you
    Tamá

    Tamas,
    Req-123
    Req 456.
    First you have done changes w.r.t to Req 123 first and moved it to quality
    Second you have done changes w.r.t to Req 456 to the same program and moved it to quality.
    So far it is fine.
    When moving to production you need to move Req 123 first and then only Req 456.
    If you transport 456 first and then 123 the changes w.r.t 123 will overwrite the changes w.r.t 456 request.So,the sequence of moving the transport requests is more and more important.
    You can check the versions in VRSD table.
    Sequence is more important.

  • SSO to ABAP BSP without client

    Dear colleagues.
    In our scenario not-domain user need to reach ABAP BSP (ITS) application without entering password for ABAP WAS.
    Is there any option to use SAP Netweaver Single singon-on 2 server to create redirection URL?
    Regards
    Vladimir

    Hi Vladimir,
    SAP SSO issues certificates and deliver it automatically to the PC of the user (short living certificates -> 24 h standard), so it can be used for SSO. It is not a traditional CA. In a traditional CA you have to take care about the certificate lifecylcle which can be very costly but you can use the certificate for a longer timer. SAP SSO works with short living certificates, so you do not have to take care about the lifecylcle of the certificate.
    So if you really want to have a "password free" solution, you have to use long lived certificates but take a care about the lifecycle (maintain certificates which are not valid anymore and distribute this information to all related systems, ..... ). Otherwise you have a security problem.
    So it is really all about the use case (deployment, security requirements, ...), but you know now the options and you can decide dependig on the use case.
    Another option is of course SAP Logon Tickets or SAML. But both also reguire an initial authentication without an AD.

  • Merging Java Transport request with Abap Transport Request in Charm

    Hello All,
    We have activated the Change request Management in Solution Manager. Therefore transport request of type workbench and customising can be created when you choose action 'Create Transport Request'.
    However we have some SAP systems that have CTS+ integrated which allows to generate transport request number and attach objects in PI Integration Directory  - java transports.
    Question is - Is there a way we can integrate the java transports generated in these SAP systems  with Solution Manager  CHarm and transport creation.
    Or can we assign the java transports to charm in any way. 
    We are basically looking for how  when users create Charm, the abap and java transports relating to the charm are generated and created only from  Solution Manager manager or how these two transports can be linked together in Solution Manager.
    Thanking you in advance for your help.
    Tolly

    Hello Friends
    I have read the links and followed the instructions and tried to create object
    TABLENAME   R3TR  TABU and tried to save it.
    I keep getting a warning message 
    Note: ZTABLE1 is an application table
    Object TABU ZTABLE1 has object function "k", but no key.
    (I don't know what key to enter. I tried the Key field name, but it said 'Enter Numeric values only').
    If I ignore and save and try to create transport request and then import it on a different server, again only table structure is getting transported and not the contents/data of the table.
    I would appreciate if some one can please let me konw what I am doing wrong.
    Thanks

  • ABAP Engine without ECC

    Hi people,
    I´ve been searching notes about the option of install the ABAP engine only, without the ECC 6.0.
    It´s possible?
    More thanks

    Hi Ruben,
    Theres not such thing as an "ABAP engine only". ECC stands for ERP Core Component and in its simplest form consist of a ABAP system with no add-ons.
    I wonder what do you have in mind
