Approved Transports in STMS_QA

Is there are a standard SAP report to extract information on all transports approved in tcode STMS_QA for a period of time ? The report should include approver information alongwith all details related to the transport.

How does your approval process work? If you receive a chain of emails from, say, a BPO and a PMO, then you should have made a transport folder on your local or shared drive to store them there. If you use some type of third party software, I would think there should be an archived folder with that information. I'm not aware of anything in SAP that would show the approvers and approval process.
Good Day

Are some standard guidelines/steps to follow before approving Transports?

Hi,
can you help to with steps and procedures that needs to be followed before approving objects to be transported to Productions?
Are some standard guidelines i.e steps to follow before approving Transports?
Or, just the fact that a solution to a problem has been established in the Development and tested in the Test environment, it is ready to be moved to Production?
Thanks

on your point 4:
. . be sure that other requests/tasks are not locking these objects.
I believe if other requests are locking the objects then you probably cant even add those objects to your transport, isnt it?
Yes .you are correct.
also you noted that
: . Whenever you put objects in your task, lock them
Isnt this done automatically by the system? If so then provide how to do that (with tcodes please)
Yes added objects are locked automatically.
To lock them manulally(if necessary), right click on TR-->Lock Objects.
Here is an example whre you have to unlock and lock objects amnuallay..
Leats assume your Objects are already collected in one TR1.
Now you have acreated a new TR2 and want to transport only few objects from TR1.
Then go to Transaction SE03>unlock Objects>Provide TR1--> execute(ignore the warning message).
Then Collect the required objects in TR2 and release it.
Now you have to lock the Objects on TR1. from context menu of TR1-->lock the Objects...
makesure inbetween nobody changes the unlocked Objects otherwise it will cause in consistencies..
you can also unlock required Objects manually but it's time consuming process...

Method of Requesting\Approving Transports

Hello,
Sorry for my simple (non-techinal) question. I was wondering what other companies are using for Change Requests for SAP Transports and what they are happy with. What software they are using for the Request and Approval process of SAP transports? We have used many diffferent types of help desk software which we have never been thrilled with. We do use Solution Manager but not for Transport Requesting/Approvals. Do many of you use Solution Manager or CRM for requesting transports changes or do most use other Help Desk software outside of SAP? What are advantages of using Solution Manager which I imagine there are many.

I really depends very much on how you are set up.
For small systems an Access MDB works well combined with organizational procedures. This is for dummies...
In HR, Treasury and other types of systems, transport management is almost daily in the team and you can easily add an ABAP workflow to it as well.
For complex SLD landscapes, components and business function management, going for a SolMan is probably the best bet IMO.
Cheers,
Julius

How to Revert STMS_QA approval

Hi experts,
I have done STMS_QA in User Acceptance system to move the TR to Production.But now I realize that I have done a mistake and I want to revert the Approval given using STMS_QA.
Kindly Help me out in this.
thanks,
Rakshith

Hi Rakshithshetty,
you should be able to delete the transport request. After all approval steps have been done, you can not revert those steps.
SAP recommends to approve averything and create a new transport for the sutuation required, then transport them as a package together to PRD.

How to approve other requests in STMS_QA

Hi All,
I will approve my request numbers to transport to Production from transaction STMS_QA in Quality system by choosing approval step and then clickikng on APPROVE.
But I want to approve my colleague requests from STMS_QA in Quality system. How can I approve the other requests. Please suggest.
Thanks,
Ganesh.

Thanks Sri,
I got the answer. My colleague is on vacation and he requested me to approve the request in STMS_QA to import to PR2 as we have a monthly schedule job runs once in a month to import to PRD.
I clicked on Approval step in STMS_QA and I noticed there is a option to change the owner of the request and changed that to my colleague ID and approved.
Thanks,

Request owner approval in Transport Workflow (DEV to QTY)

Hello,
I have set up the transport workflow between DEV and QTY systems on ERP6.
I need to allow developers and consultants to approve their own transport proposals in order to facilitate transport to the QTY system.
Currently, when an user releases a transport request and creates a transport proposal, the approval message is sent to the TMS Worklist.
Therefore, only administrators can approve transport proposals.
How to allow users to approve and import their own requests through the Transport Proposal Inbox in Transport Organizer (SE10) ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Serguei,
Please check whether you have specified &_WF_INITIATOR& as excluded agent.
Please remove &_WF_INITIATOR& as excluded agent.

Released imports reappear again in STMS_QA list

Hi ,
We are experiencing a problem of reappearing of the released transports in STMS_QA list.
The logs show that one of the transports has been...
•Released to QA & imported (probably automatically).
•QA approved and imported into Production.
•Imported again to QA.
The importing again to QA has added the transport back into the QA approval list.
The import history shows that many transports are getting imported more than once. So this isn't a one off situation but an ongoing issue.
Can some one please suggest what's going on and how to fix this?
TIA,
Rakesh

Please see below the Transport Route
What I would liek to tell you that we don't face the issue for all the transport requests.,
There are few TRS which has been re imported as we can see from the import history list.
@Anita We don't change any default options while doing the import via "STSM" in production so getting issues for few TRs indicate the problem is somewhere else.,
Thanks all for taking the time out for answering my queries.
regards,
Rakesh

Transport a request from one server(quality) to another server(production)

Hi All,
I want to transport a request from one server(quality) to another server(production)
Can we transport a request from quality to production programatically i.e. by using programing logic.
Regards,
Swarup

Hi,
It cannot be done programmatically. Although it can be automated by basis guys. They configure it in TMS (Transport Management System). You can check it using STMS. (if you are authorized to view it).
Transport path are defined in TMS.
For Automated Transport configuration is done in TMS.
Generally automatic Transport are not setup between quality and production. Changes are first tested in Quality and then Transported by basis team either periodically / individually.
In case of manual transport Transport Request can be imported in production using STMS_IMPORT transaction in production. (Basis guy will do it for approved Transports)
If there is no direct connectivity - Basis people copy "data" file and "co" file and Transport it to target server (This is generally not the case in Quality - production as Transport path is always defined).

Mohaiyuddin

QA Approval - importing queue with background jobs

Hi all,
I have activated the QA approval in my system and it all works fine. I have scheduled a background job via STMS to import the whole test system buffer each day and this works fine too. Now I want to schedule a background job to import the production buffer automatically too. This would allow us to have all approved transports automatically imported once a day (as QA approval is activated only approved transports would be imported).
Sounds simple, but with QA approval the production buffer displays approved and non-approved requests, so the background job fails as not all transports in the buffer are in the correct status.
Any suggestions on how I can get around this problem?
Thanks
Claire.

Hello Claire,
This issue has been described in SAP Note 313991. please check.

STMA workflow - approval through UWL

Hello All,
We have integrated the STMA workflow for transport management for ABAP TRs. It works perfectly fine.
However, I have the requirement to be able to let users approve transport requests through portal instead of logging into SAP inbox. How can I launch the same screen that user sees when launching approval workitem from R/3 and UWL.
Please assist.
Regards,
Samta.

Hello Vinoth,
We are using STMA standard transport workflow that SAP gives for approve/reject and automate movement of transports through R/3 landscape. Now when the manager has an approval item in the inbox, he double clicks to find a pop up window open in R/3 which lets him see the next system in the landscape and confirms to move the transport to the next system.
How can I get the same functionality to be available through portal. Is there a direct approach or should I write a custom BSP app for the same. Can the existing code be directly used in the custom BSP application.
Please assist.
Regards,
Samta.

Program to Auto Import transports to quality and production systems

Hi Experts
Do anyone have a program that imports transport requests automatically into quality and production systems from development? I know there is a procedure to import all into QA that can be set in TMS.
But I am looking for a program instead that could auto import into quality and subsequently to production.
Thanks,
Ravali

You need to set the autoimport job in Q whichh will bring all the transport from Dev when they are released. For autoimport go to STMS --> import queue of your Q system -->Start import with the small truck sign and it will ask you to select the time (run it every 15 mins or so) --> start the job
Production you never setup an autoimport, there might be some transports which you may not want to send to prod, only the approved transport will go to prod. Hope this helps

Transport approvals via email

Hello,
I am working on setting up Charm in SolMan 4.0 and my management asked if they can approve transports without having to log into Solution Manager i.e. by replying to an email sent by solman.
The problem is that some of our business approvers do not have SAP logins.
Thank you!

System refresh from Production to Quality

Hi,
We are going for system refresh from Production to Quality. We are at SAP NetWeaver 2004s with 700 release and at 0021 level. Our data base system is DB6 with the release 09.07.0000
I understand that there is a note 886102 available for the system copy. But I would like to know how that had been practically implemented from your ready documents like
1. What would be the BI consultant role during the refresh (I mean where do we involve at). I have seen many links related to this but nothing answer my question, so please don't give me links available.
2. How to identify tables that need to be copied and restored to retain the correct source systems for data/info sources.
3. What should be the BI consultant task before refresh?
4. What should be the BI consultant task post refresh?
5. What are issues faced post refresh in quality system.
I request, the consultant who had worked on these refresh can provide me correct solution.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Raj

Our prerefresh activities included
Inform security team to do no user or authorisation changes for quality during the refresh.
Set message in development to not release any transports anymore and set message in quality to inform users in quality not to manually import transports into quality and also not approve transports for production. This ensures no transports get moved to quality and production.
Switch off cyclic import all job (like TMS_0000000038TMS_TP_IMPORT) and the cyclic RSTMS_DIST_APPROVED_REQUESTS job
Prepare list of transports for re-import to quality after refresh and give this to BASIS.
Post refresh activities included
Tcodes SM37, SM35 and SP01. Check that BASIS had set all released jobs to status "Susp/Released"
"All jobs are in 'Susp/Released' state. Set them all to 'Scheduled ' as follows:
- Run report BTCTRNS2 to change all to 'Released'.
- Immediately use SM37 to change all to 'Scheduled' "
IF ANY ARE NEEDED. Remember to change Exec Target in any job you need to release.
"Schedule RSTMS_DIST_APPROVED_REQUESTS to run at x:29 and x:59 - so every 30 minutes.
Please schedule with DDIC as step user (and not your own user-id)."
Check the STMS_QA and import queues to be sure that the tranports are correct- no extra ones during refresh???
Once happy with the above request that Basis schedule the auto import to run every 30 minutes
First ensure that BDLS has finished and system is ready for use.
Post refresh issues faced in production
Many reinit issues
ACR issues.
Master data issues.

Tranport Management System other tcode than this

Hello ABAPers,
Is there any tcode other than stms to check the transport request is transported to production server?
We're having a hard time in updating the program in the production server.
Actually we had 2 servers...one is the client 400 which is the pre-prod..and the other one is the client 800 which is to be the production client...(live data).They are in the same system.
One scenario is we tried to check the OR program if amount in words is ok...unfortunately when we tried to check it to client 800 the program is not updated unlike to client 400.. I wonder what went wrong?according to our basis guys...they transferred the program to both servers....and by checking it to tcode stms...other than that they dont know weather the program was successfully transferred to production.
Please help.....is there any tcode or program so i can check the update program transferred to production?
Helpful answers will have a reward points.
Thanks in advance
