ChaRM - Import of transports (urgent!!)

Ok, got a bit of an issue with the import of our transports - we are using ChaRM.
For our standard corrections, the following occurs:
Step 1 - Change Request is created and approved.
Step 2 - Change Document is created (ZDMJ)
Step 3 - Transport is created and task is released in SE10
Step 4 - ZDMJ is marked as In QAS
**At this point a TOC (Transport of copies) is created and automatically released**
Step 5 - The TOC is imported into QAS via the task list
Step 6 - ZDMJ is marked as QAS Test Successful
**At this point the original transport is released**
Step 7 - The original transport is imported into QAS via the task list
The above 7 steps are all working ok. HOWEVER, this is where the annoying part occurs. Lets just say that the ZDMJ is left as "QAS Test Successful" as no further actions are perfomed for a while. In the mean time we then run an import to Pre Production (we have Dev>QAS>Pre Prod>Prod) via the tasklist (this is a job scheduled daily).
The original transport would then be picked up in this job and be imported to Pre Production (even though this doesn't match up with the status of the ZDMJ)!! Then the task list is changed to "Go Live" and the import to Production is ran via the tasklist.
Once again, the original transport is then imported to Production (even though the Change Document in ChaRM still states QAS Test Successful)!!!! The transport simply doesn't match up to the status of the ZDMJ.
Is this normal ChaRM funtionality or have we set something up incorrectly????
The way it's currently working is completely useless to us!!!!!!
Please help asap, REALLY appreciate it!!!!!
Thanks

So as it stands...
We can release the original transport at QAS test successful. However, this means our TMS job will automatically import this to QAS, then PreProd, then Production (even though the ChaRM status won't match this).
or
We can release the original transport at PreProd test successful. This means it will automatically import to QAS, PreProd and Production at the correct time. However, this means our 3rd tier (PreProd) is not being used at all as there is no transport being imported here for testing.
I also read the following: (from Transport of Copies (ToC): Small yet powerful concept)
Transport of copies option is available in each SAP system. This is a type of transport similar to customizing and workbench with its different behavior. Beauty with this type of transports is, it dies in the next target system. What does this mean??? Let's say I have three system landscape for my ECC system: DA1 -> QA1 -> PA1.
If you create a workbench request in DA1 system and release it, it goes to import buffer of QA1. Once imported in QA1, transport is now available in the import buffer of PA1 for import in PA1. But, if you create a Transport of Copy for the same transport in DA1 and release it, it will be in import queue of QA1. However, when you import this transport to QA1 it does not go to the import buffer of PA1.
Based on the above, it sounds like the TOC will only go to QAS (dies in target system).
Surely there's a way to get a TOC in PreProd? Or is there a better means of doing what we want.
Thanks again.

How to import a transport from an urgent correction into QAS again ?

Hi guys,
we're new in charm.
We have an urgent correction document, with 1 transport.
We've put the urgent correction in status "to be tested" so now the linked transport is imported into QAS system. But this was a little bit too soon :-s
I had to do some manual work on QAS before importing that transport.
Can I easily (or how can I do this at all) import that same transport again into QAS ?
kind regards,
David De Boel

Hi Guys,
We have implemented change request and upgraded for SP 15 support pack
when the user tries to import through urgent correction by selecting pass correction to test the TP is not getting imported, when i checked the log it is saying
System cancel RFC destination SM_BQ2CLNT100_TRUSTED, Call TMW_SET_PROJECT_SWITCHES: No authorization to logon as trusted system (Trust ed RC=2).
You cannot import any requests for project BD2_P00001 at the moment
Then i went to show project status switches and changed as "Request can be imported" from " request cannot be imported", then the user is able to import the UC from the task list,
But ideally the status switches should be " request cannot be imported" so that the TP can be imported only through change request.
kindly give ur inputs as it is very urgent.
Regards

ChaRM with several transport layers

Hi!
We would like to use Solman ChaRM approach.
According to SPRO-documentation ChaRM only supports consolidation routes from standard transport layer.
We have besides the standard transport layer other transport layer and have the following question
1)What will happen when the developer try to change and import into QAS system object assigning to none-standard transport layer?
1a) ChaRM does not allow to change this object and the appropriate pop up window comes up
1b) ChaRM integrate this transport layer as standard transport layer
Any helpful information will be very appreciated
Thank you very much!
regards
Thom

Hello Thom,
I think, your question is almost independent from CHaRM. This is handled by the transport management system (TMS). If your developer changes the object assignment to a transport layer, and there is a transport track for this layer to the (same) QAS it should work. But if this QAS is not configured in CHaRM as a target system (in SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN), SolMan will probably raise an error message.
Also if the transport layer assignment / dev package not valid for this transport track, you will not able to release the transport -> SolMan is just using TMS mechanism and this will bring up an error message in CRMD_ORDER.
Unfortunately you can't see the transport logs in CRMD_ORDER directly, so the answer to 1a) is: In case of trouble releasing the transport you will get an error, but not the full error message.
1b) ChaRM cannot change a transport layer to a standard transport layer, this must be done using STMS on the transport daimn controller.

Holger

ChaRM: Import Error

Hi All,
I have configured Sol Man ChaRM (SP24, EHP1). Currently, the Sol Man system is connected with ECC Sand box client to test ChaRM.
In Sol Man 100 client (SLM:100) i have activated ChaRM. In ECC sand box system, we have created three clients like DEV,QA,PRD.
The ECC system details are: EDD:200 (Satellite ECC DEV), EDD:300 (Satellite ECC QA), EDD:400 (Satellite ECC PRD).
I am trying to import the transport request to ECC:300 (QA client) thro Sol Man action "Pass correction to test". The import getting failed.
Is there any additional authorization to be provided to any users in ECC 300 client to import authorization? or any additional authorization to be provided in ECC 000 client to any users?
Kindly guide me
Thanks
Kumar

Hi Senthil,
Its a simple solution. First make sure the user who is performing charm actions is present in the satellitle systems-which you already did.
Especially the user who is performing the action " pass correction to test" or any actions that are related to importing charm changes to the subsequent systems.
Next the user should have certain import profiles in 000 client of the satellite systems:
like s_tmw_import, s_tmw_opera,s_tmw_develo, s_tmw_admin..etc....
so depending on the users role you have to provide one of these profiles which contain authorization to import.
In addition to this the charm roles in solution manager sap_socm_developer or sap_socm_change_manager should have proper authorizations..look at the auth obj tmwflow/t and give 3000,4000 to 9100 as values.
inaddition look at the role : sap_cm_sman_** you have to also take care of the auth obj cts_admi_** , assign values depending on the user type and you will be good to go.
thanks,
amar

The requests imported within an urgent correction, getting reimorted in MC

Hello All
Using change request management, I found that when we are importing normal corrections, the previous imported requests via urgent corrections are getting re-imported in to the production. Its the standard configuration that SAP provided, but its going to be trouble if its going to overwrite the previous imported changes.
Does any one know how to resolve this issue to avoid re-importing of already imported requests in maintenance cycle [MC]? Is there any way to resolve this issue?
Urgent help will be appreciated,
Thanks & Regards
Sharmishtha

Hi Jason
I am using solution manager 4.0 SP 12, with default functionality I am facing following issue.
For example request T1 is released from Dev and imported in QA, then after PRD in urgent correction. In maintenance cycle i.e. normal correction, request T2 is released from Dev, but while import in QA, its importing T1 and T2, same happens when we are trying to import it PRD, its importing again T1 and then T2.
This is happening because requests are getting import with import again tp option, but its set default for preliminary transports i.e. urgent correction. As its happening via change request management I dont know where do we can change/set this option or change these default configuration settings.
Its problem if its try to import the already import request as it may have impact on the current functionality as per our users & clients concerns.
Will you please help me in this ?
Waiting for reply;

Sharmishtha

Error while importing a transport request

Hi,
I installed two SAP ECC6 EHP6 IDES sytems and created a transport route between them.
When I try to import a Transport request I get the following error:
HALT: inconsistent preview tables E071K_STR (size=344) and E071KS_PREVIEW (size=128)
Please help me find a solution to this problem.

Hello Occoro,
There are multiple steps you need to do, I am not sure if the following note is applicable to your version of SAP.
1730009 - Import queue does not work
Downloading R3trans and tp is similar to downloading kernel.
Download the versions relevant to your SAP Kernel 7.20, the latest patch should be available at http://service.sap.com/swdc
In the same area where you get SAP Kernels, you should be able to get files such as:
R3trans_xxx-xxxxxx.SAR
tp_xxx-xxxx.SAR
Download these files, uncar them to your kernel directory typically /sapmnt/<SID>/exe
Refer to the following note for more details:
19466 - Downloading SAP kernel patches
Good luck.

Error Importing a Transport in portal - Using custom role

Hello Everyone,
I have a custom role XYZ which has a few worksets copied (as delta links) from the standard System Administration Role. These worksets include Transport, Portal Display and Monitoring.
Now, I have assigned a user ABC the following roles:
1.Role XYZ
2.Content Admin Role
When the User ABC with the above mentioned roles, tries to import a transport package into the system he gets and authorization error. (This error does not occur if I assign the user Super Admin Role).
Error Details :
com.sapportals.portal.transport.RepositoryAccessControlException
Import data Access denied. (Object(s): pcd:..

<b>Questions:
1.     Is it really possible to have this functionality (ability to Import and Export without Assigning System admin or super admin roles) achieved?
(I went through a thread Portal role for transporting objects on SDN which discusses this scenario)
2.     How should I check for additional authorizations required for Importing / Exporting Transport packages into portal. (without having assigned the super admin role or system admin role).</b>Thanks To all of you
Joan Thomas

Thanks for the inputs.
I have fixed the problem.
To assign content objects to a package, you need at least read permission for the objects to be assigned.
You can only import objects into the Portal Content Directory if you have read/write permission for each folder in the Portal Catalog where the imported objects will be stored.
To create a transport package in a certain folder of the Portal Catalog, you need read/write permission for this folder.
These 3 points helped me do the required.

How to import the transports from the SAP Integration Kit into SAP system

Hi expert,
I read the forum "Re: Integration with SAP R/3 to realise i have not done the import of transport but i don't quite understand the statement give by "Sebastian Li".
"Unpack the SAP Integration Kit zip-file. It contains a transport-folder. Here you'll find a short manual which files you should import.
Copy the needed files on your sap-system in the correct folders:
- usr\sap\trans\cofiles
- usr\sap\trans\data
Use the transaction STMS.
Also take care of the sequence of importing. See the manual for details."
Can some one explain it in more details to me. I have unzip the SAP Integration Kit n in the transport folder got 2 more folder "ansi" and "unicode_compatible". How do i know which 1 to use? Where i should copy this files to?
Please advice.
thank you

Error importing SAP Transports for BO XI 3.1 SAP integration

Hello,
The basis guys setup a clean sap installation on basis v7.0 for me and i managed to import all 5 of the unicode compliant versions of the transports perfectly.
Through the client tools and crystal reports i can access all our custom tables.
However as it was a clean install there is no data. I therefore tried to import the same transports into our dev system. This is on basis version 6.4.
Again i copied the co and data files across and tried to import the transports.
Im getting an error at the 'error in Import ABAP Dictionary Objects' phase for transport K900531.R21. It manges to import into the first 20 objects, then this error is raised???
Start import R3TRTABLZSSAUTHREF ...
===> HALT: Internal error in tw_lzh (twtrans.c line 7744). Please contact the SAP support.
Dictionary import
End date and time : 20090617143327
Ended with return code: ===> 16 <===
The basis guys are puzzled - has anyone seen this before???
Many thanks
C.

Hi,
Yes - this is the first transport in the series - the Open SQL one. In fact today i downloaded the 3.1 installer as the transports i tried were 3.0 ones.
I still get the same error at that particular object with these newer transports. I even tried teh Ansi transport even thou our system is above Basis 6.2 and it failed at the same point.
I feel their must be a problem with that object in our system.
I just wondered if others had problems importing those transports?
Thanks

Steps needed to import the transport request

Hello SAP gurus
I am trying to import a transport request consisting of a packacge into a server. I was able to create this transport request on first server and trying to import it into second server.
I read many postings on this site and played with STMS_IMPORT, STMS etc.,
But still can't see the package on the second server.
I don't know what I need to do on the second server (target) to make it accept this foreign transport request.
If some one can please point me to a link or document that gives the exact steps involved to do this, I would appreciate it a lot.
Thanks

Import of transport from a system that has same name as target system

Hi,
We have an ECC6.0 SPS10 system with SID as "RD2" and the transport
number range on this system is from RD2K900000 to RD2K999999.
If we import a transport into our ECC system(SID is RD2)from an
external system(vendor system) which has the same SID (RD2) and this
external system transport number is RD2K9A0505, does the transprot
number range change in our system?
After the import of the transport(RD2K9A0505) into our system, if we
create new transport request, what would be the transport number
assigned to it?
will it change to RD2K9AXXXX or will it be the same number range it has
before as RD2K9XXXXX.?
Appreciate your answers.
Thanks,
Vinod.

Hi,
This was very unusual to see, anyways let me put my answers
1. the systems has to be configured in landscape to import the transport requests, and in landscape no two systems can have same SID.
2. The transport system has a specific order tht need to be followed, DEV>QAS>PRD, so you did not mentioned the scenario here(please put doenthe scenario if you are importing from DEV of vendor to your DEV), and the SP level and kernel and everything need to be maintained on same level between source and Target else there is possibility for import error or chnages donot meet the criteria in target.
3. Usually when you do imports between the DEV and QAS or PRD the Change request numbers in DEV are usually high but by importing this into QAS the number range for CR will not change,( here the SID are different). In your case i was uncertain since SID are same and number range format is different.
4. Kindly note that SAP recommends no two SID in landscape can be same, so your source system should be from different landscape where transports can be done only through manually from OS level using tp command, and im in doubt wether tp can recognize the change request that was different in format as a change request number.
Regards....
