Automation of transports between DVL and QAS environments

Hi,
Does anyone know how to automate the transports between the DVL and QAS environment ? When we release a transport in the DVL environment, we would like this transport to be copied in the QAS environement automatically, without having to copy it manually from DVL to QAS.
Thanks,
Julien

Hi
if this is generally about transporting PI content through the landscape then your solution is very likely to use CTS as transport system for PI. Further information can be found on https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SL/SoftwareChangeManagement
Especially the section 'What is CTS' and 'SAP NetWeaver Exchange Infrastructure (XI / PI)' will be interesting.
If you are already using CTS and the question is if and how the automation can be configured then the answer is: yes, it can and it has to be done in the same way as for ordinary ABAP transport - even for PI content - via a scheduling.

hello, friend.
actually, you can search for subjects like this in the threads archive. you will be pleasantly surprised to find that there are already many threads with similar issues and that you can find answers to even more otherwise unrealized questions. and you don't have to wait for anyone to reply.
it looks like the issue is urgent for you, and this is why i am attaching this feed from Sadhu Kishore, which was posted some time ago... (if he replies to your thread, you may choose to award him points).
"Hi,
The transport workflow provides a framework for transporting enhancements or new developments of existing business functions in a system landscape. It provides a direct connection between development and transport administration. The transport workflow manages the transport process, determines the user for each individual step automatically, and then displays an interface which they can use to perform the task directly.
It is an efficient method of transporting a selected number of requests into a group of transport targets, and uses clearly defined approval steps to ensure the quality of your target systems. The requests can be transportable change requests, Customizing requests, relocation transports or transports of copies. The transport targets do not need to be located on defined transport routes. However, the transport workflow can involve some risks, caused by the dependencies between transport requests:
Import sequence
It is important that you import requests in the correct order, so that development work is up-to-date in the target system.
Incompleteness
It is important that the functions transported in the transport proposal are complete; otherwise errors may occur in the import system.
A request is not imported, but it contains an important data element. You use another request to transport a table that references this data element. Since the referenced data element does not exist in the target system, activation errors will occur when you import the second request.
The transport workflow is a generic workflow. Its ability to process the transport route configuration in TMS enables it to adapt itself to any system landscape. This means you can transport multiple requests into multiple targets, even if these targets are not located on the transport routes.
This reduces the amount of work for the transport administrator significantly. The automated nature of the workflow also reduces the likelihood of errors during transports.
You can use the transport workflow in two different ways.
Transport workflow as a transport strategy
If you have production systems in your landscape that can only accept approved transports, we recommend that you use the transport workflow to organize and coordinate the transport process.
To do this, set Workflow-controlled transports as your transport strategy and configure the transport workflow.
When you release a transport request, the transport workflow starts automatically and the screen Create Transport Proposal appears. The requests are then released implicitly when the transport proposal is sent to the transport administrator.
Special transport workflow (mass transports)
You can use the special transport workflow to make transports that do not follow the defined transport routes or that take place outside the normal transport schedule (part of the mass transport strategy). These transports may be corrections made in the development system that have to be transported into the production system without delay.
To use the special transport workflow, set Mass transports as your transport strategy and configure the transport workflow."
thanks. you have been most generous.

Compare SPRO between DEV and QAs

Hi there,
I'm in GoLive eve and all consultants are desperate with the future problems.
Is there a way that I can compare the customizing (SPRO) between DEV and QAS or another system?
Thanks,
Dany Anderson
Edited by: Dany Anderson Alves on Mar 4, 2008 9:03 PM

Hi,
Use comparison tool in SCU0.
Select SAP Reference IMG and ssay compare.
This will show the differences if any.
You can also compare at component level.
cross system visibility should be maintained in SCC4 settings for the client

Proc*C compilation: conflict between Oracle and TT environments

We are evaluating the option to add TimesTen to an existing application which is currently using oracle, looking to cache a few tables in TimesTen (AWT Global Cache group) for the purpose of increased performance. The vast majority of our source code related to oracle queries is in embedded SQL in C and C++. I am now looking into what this means for our system builds. We have a few conditions as follows:
+ The use of TimesTen needs to be optional. (e.g. we cannot force customers who are using our product to deploy TimesTen).
+ We need to use single source (using conditional compilation etc. as needed), to support an Oracle-only as well as Oracle+Times Ten environments.
I am changing our system-build to incorporate Times-ten PROC*SQL processing for the source code related to the cached tables. I discovered that both the Oracle and TimesTen Pro*C compiler has the same name (proc), for this reason I have provided a directory location for each compiler in the make-file (since I can no longer rely on just $PATH variable to find the right proc utility)
## Specify PROC either for Oracle or for TimesTen
PROC_TT = $(TT_PROC_BIN)/proc
PROC_ORA = $(ORACLE_PROC_BIN)/proc
My planned strategy for incorporating the build of embedded SQL sources related to tables cached can be summarized as follows:
1. Make a temporary copy of the source files – adding suffix _ora or _tt to file name to indicate the target database. Also add “tt” to extension of TimesTen files.
example (file file1.ec is a file with embedded sql in C)
cp file1.ec file1_ora.ec
cp file1.ec file1_tt.ectt
2. Rules for compiling embedded SQL source into objects for Oracle exists already. (using proc compiler for Oracle)
I am adding additional rules for compiling SQL source into object files for TT ( making use of ectt extension, and using the proc compiler for TT)
3. Combine objects into libraries,
Create library libxx_ora.so based on xx_ora.o objects
Create library libxx_tt.so based of xx_tt.o objects
4. Linking the application: We need 2 copies of the application (because use of TimesTen is optional for our customers, the build needs to produce binaries for both Oracle-only and Oracle+TimesTen):
For oracle-only support: link with libxx_ora.so libraries (+ other libraries)
For oracle+timesTen support: link with libxx_tt.so libraries (+ other libraries)
We have scripts and makefiles that manage all of our system builds.
I have extended the initial environment setup to now also include environment settings for TimesTen.
I find that there seems to be a conflict when running the Proc*C TimesTen compiler, while also having the environment set for Oracle (core dump during proc-processing). Is this a known limitation?
Now I am questioning whether I can do all of the system-build for oracle and TT in one pass (e.g. setup environment, followed by building of all objects)
I may have to divide the build tasks up into two parts, separatig Oracle and TT object creation ?
1) establish environment for TT only – compile all the TT-related source files
2) as a second step change environment to Oracle only then compile all Oracle-related source files.
Is anyone else facing the same conflict of oracle/TimesTen during compilation of Embedded SQL sources?
M

This is really the same situation as if you were trying to build different binaries using different versions of Pro C (which is in fact what you are trying to do). The Pro C compilation system is quite complex and it uses a lot of environment variables and so on. You really need to isolate both build environments so that each environment only has the necessary environment setup and there is no cross-contamination between them.

Problem between DEV and QAS in SPDD and SPAU

Hello,
We adjusted the SPDD in the ACT_UPG and he SPAU in the post processing and everything was right.
When I try to install the QAS I gave the installer both transport but tells me this:

that is on SPAU
The system before the migration, were both recreated from a PRD backup so it should be the same.
Please help me with this

Hello Carlos,
this error is mostly related to the second run of an Upgrade (either to QA or PRD systems), when SPAU/SPDD already have a request assigned for them. Please check notes #68678 and #610311.
If this does not help, please list the content of phase PREP_INTEGRATION/ADJUSTPRP (as seen in the sapehpiconsole.log)

Inconsistencies between DEV and QAS query output

Hi all -
I am currently using a BI query in my VC model that I send the output to a table in VC, note that I am showing only a few fields from the output. This works for some tables in my model that use another query.
The problem is that when I change the alias (using the Alias Manager tool) from BI DEV to QAS, then deploy, the number of columns is changing in my table and seems to give me all of the potential query output and not only the fields I have selected in my model.
To make a test, I have tried to hide the output fields in the BI query itself, and this seems to have a direct effect on the shown columns in VC but creates some other unwanted problem. In fact, it works for the other query...
Anyone had the same problem? could that be a refreshing problem?
Thank you,
Claude.

Hi
It could be a refresh problem. Try to change the RFC from the query definition & refrech the 'Data service'. Then test the output of the query from 'Test Query' then save & deploy. Also in Columns try with the charachters where type is 'Text'.

Goods transport between WH and Prod area via Material Staging

Gurus,
I got my components from Warehouse to Storage Type 100 (default) using Staging. Now I confirmed my Production Order. So the Storage Type 100 should show my final product and 0 stock of components right?
It still shows all the components in Storage Type 100 and no FINAL Product. Also in the Prod Order Confirmation screen it does not show any Goods Movements. I read it should show "5 transactions processed and 0 failed" on Prod. Order Confirmation, but I do not see the message on co15.
Look forward to your replies
Regards,
Vikas

Hi,
Storage location control should be able to take care of your problem.
If you want to stage the material to a different IM location then the WM location then make the following settings
If location xxxx is your WM location and location yyyy is your Production location.
You have defined Production storage type ZZZ for production storage location YYYY and have maintained the supply area for the same
In WM configuration - For interfaces - IM interface-Control of Assignment "Plant / Stor.Loc. - Whse Number"
Assign location XXXX as the Standard Location. Maintain entry donot copy sloc in TR for location YYYY
In WM configuration - For interfaces - IM interface- Storage Location control for WH
This entry ensures that there will be a WM tarnsfer Posting between your WM and Production storage Location automatically when you confirm your TO. You can have this done via a btach job also if you want cumulative posting. (schedule job RLLQ0100)

Transporting between FCP and Color... And changes to an edit?

This is my first attempt at color and I have been working on a project for a couple of days now, reading through the manual and trial and error stuff...
Basically I'm a little confused how I get my graded project out of color back into FCP with the changes. I'm hitting send to FCP but am coming back to the project with the ungraded versions I started with in FCP...
Am I able to grade only a few selects from the entire sequence and leave some others for another time, in order to show a client some examples of what we are trying to do?
I'm enjoying using the tools inside color but am finding it very frustrating to come up with a workflow or even kind of understand how the software is working.
Any ideas or help would be great. I've tried for a couple of days now, but have hit a bit of a wall.
Cheers.

The User Interface is locked. The application is very single-minded to its purpose and no code/CPU cycles were wasted on remapping panes. Its very much a speed issue. Its tuff enuff getting 17 fps on HD the way things are.
In your setup room, you should create a Grades directory for the project where you save oft-used or complex grades. It'd be a place to copy all the grades if you needed to hand-reconform a project. That is -- copy each grade into that folder, create new project and then drag each grade back into the individually appropriate clip. Tedious, but you're not a REAL COLOR user until you've been forced to do it at least once. ;-P
And if you think that's bollocks, wait until you need to figure out how to copy a grade into a keyframe sequence... I don't think that one is in the manual. I'll be watching for that to come up.
If you think post-lock revisions are inconvenient now, think about what it was like to re-open a graded show in the tape-to-tape days. It had to be a serious problem because it came down to these things (a lot of them) --> $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Transports from PRD to QAS & DEV in SEM?

Hi,
I am in a strange situation. we are on BW 3.0B and SEM 3.1B. For some reasons, My predecessor who worked b4 me implemented SEM planning without DEV system and without transports.
I've been told that they are not developing any thing in DEV system rather they are developing and testing in QAS. once it is done, they make the same changes manually in PRD without transports.
they are doing this only for SEM planning. for BW, they are using DEV-QAS-PRD landscape and even transports.
I'm not even sure what to ask. but, I need to start from here. any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Now, I need to start using DEV system for SEM planning as well just like for BW. but, PRD is already running.
can we transport PRD objects back to DEV and QAS?
once transported, can i start development in DEV and transport developed objects to QAS and then to PRD?
if we can, what are the precautions we need to take b4 transporting from PRD to QAS & DEV?
Is there a way, to find out the differences between "PRD and QAS" and "PRD and DEV" to make changes manually for small changes?
if nothing is being done, atleast what i can start with to use "landscape DEV->QAS->PRD and transports" by keeping PRD objects alive and running.
DEV is no where close in synchronous with QAS and PRD. there are quite a bit of differences between QAS and PRD but almost synchronous.
I'm in a big need of help.
any kinda ideas are welcome

SPP Error - No valid transportation lane between Supplier and LOC1

Hi
While running the EOQ and SFT planning service, we get the following error
"No valid transportation lane between Supplier and LOC1". LOC1 is the entry location for our BOD.
We have not created any procurement relationships as we are working on a standalone SCM trialbox.
Appreciate any help/suggestions to resolve this issue.
Thanks & Best Regds
Mitesh

Hi Mitesh,
You need to have valid transportation lanes from the supplier. Maintain it manually. If I remember correctly it is possible to have External Procurement Relationships in APO only (type 4) and not just contracts, purchasing inforecords or scheduling agreements CIFed from ECC.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Difference between u2018Workbenchu2019 and u2018Customizeu2019 Transport request.

Thanks

Workbench Requests
When you change a Repository object of the ABAP Workbench, a query window appears in which you need to specify a Workbench request. You can only save the changes if you have assigned the object to a change request.
Workbench requests and the tasks assigned to them are normally used to record changes to Repository objects and Customizing for all clients. However, you can also include client-specific Customizing.
Whether the changes to Repository objects are transported depends on whether a transport route is defined from the current SAP System for the package of these objects. From the system settings, the system automatically determines whether the change requests are transportable and to which target system they should be transported.
Customizing requests
Customizing requests record client-specific Customizing settings made in a single client (the source client of the request).
Automatic recording of configuration activities in the Customizing work for a client can be activated or deactivated for each client with Client Control. If automatic recording is active, a query window appears when you change Customizing settings, asking you to specify a Customizing request.
Whether Customizing requests are transported or not, does not depend on the objects entered, as is the case with Workbench change requests. The Customizing requests in an SAP System (or in a client if you use Extended Transport Control) are either all transportable or all local, depending on the system setting. The system uses the standard transport layer to determine automatically whether the change requests are transportable and to which target system they should be transported. However, you can change this manually

Difference between CTS and Transport request

Hi,
i need to know what is the Difference between CTS and Transport request.
kindly expecting replies

CTS (Change & Transport System)
The CTS is a tool that helps you to organize development projects in the ABAP workbench & in customizing and then transport the changes between the SAP Systems & clients in your system landscape.
This docuentation provides you with an overviewof how to manage changes with the CTS & essential information on setting up your system & client lanscape & deciding on a transport strategy. Read & follow the documentation when planning ur development project.
For practical information on working with the Change & Transport system, see Change & transport Organizer & Transport Management System.
Transport Request
Transport Request is a Request number where the developments are given logical storage number which in turn help in transporting the developments to one system / server to other server.
T.Code SE09 & SE10 are used to Transport the request..
