CTS+ transport to an air-gapped system

Hi all,
We had previously configured CTS+ to work, enabling transport from development system to QA.
However, our production environment is airgapped from the dev servers for security reasons.
We copied the cofiles and datafiles to the corresponding folders in production, and did the following configurations in the prod server:
1. install CTS Deploy Web Service in JAVA stack of the TMS host
2. Configure HTTP Connection CTSDEPLOY in SM59 in the TMS host
3. Configure Logical Port for the web service in transaction LPCONFIG
4. Defined and configured non-abap TARGET system in STMS
The Transport Requests can be added to the buffer of the non-abap system. However, when I try to import those TRs, the transport started, and then nothing happened. The log files do not show anything.
Anyone has any idea on why this is so? Can CTS+ work on a system that is airgapped from its source?
Did I miss out on any configuration steps?
Thanks for all the help!

Hi Gordon,
Go thru this [Link|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/45/ec25370fdc3481e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm]. You will get the details.
You can use this for your reference.
Check this document - [How to set-up and use the CTS+ in Portal Environment|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/90d3b550-b6fb-2910-0fa5-ece5d61fb9c3].

Unable to reinstall WSUS on air-gapped Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 server

A co-worker installed WSUS on an air-gapped (not connected to the Internet) server running Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, but he wasn't sure he'd configured everything properly, and asked me to uninstall and reinstall it. The uninstallation went without
a hitch, but reinstalling through the Server Manager gives the error message "The update could not be found. There may be a network connection issue." The Server Manager log shows the following:

Any ideas?

Hi,
0x8024402C WU_E_PT_WINHTTP_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED
Winhttp SendRequest/ReceiveResponse failed with 0x2ee7 error. Either the proxy server or target server name cannot be resolved. Corresponding to ERROR_WINHTTP_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED.
Stop/Restart service or reboot the machine if you see this error frequently.
Since the server is not connect to the internet, at least it should have an available upstream server. Did you configure it correctly? The error message indicate that the
name could not resolved, make sure you can resolve the name of the upstream server. Run nslookup check the result.
If it is the only WSUS, then give it internet connection and test.
Hope this helps.

Communication channel parameters are not tranported in CTS+ transport

Hi,
My scenario is MDM to jms.
we have configured the cts+ transport in our system.
We transported the ESR and ID objects from development to Quality.
But in the sender mdm communication channel the everything is getting transported except Repository password.
when i checked in the quality system the Repository password was blank.
And receiver jms communication channel details are in
dev system
IP Address or server Name:135.12.14.12
server port                          :3321
Queue manange name       :RRTYRKB
channel name                  :KDIEKE.MDM
Quality System
IP Address or server Name:localhost
server port                        :1414
Queue manange name       :QM_hostname
channel name                    :S_hostname
i want know whether this is the case when we do the cts+ transport?
if it is the case should i edit the objects in the Quality sysem(which i don't want to do).
Thanks.
Regards,
Muniyappan.

Hi,
>>>if it is the case should i edit the objects in the Quality sysem(which i don't want to do).
communication channel attrubites always get reset in the new env - TEST, PRD, etc.
and you always need to fill them once more - this is the normal way
otherwise - would you like to use DEV parameters on PRD system ?
maintaining the channel attributes is a typical task on all landscapes

Diffrence between File Transport and CTS+ Transport in PI

Hi Guys,
Can you please explain me the diffrence between File Transport and CTS+ Transport in PI.
What are the advantages of CTS+ Transportation over FILE Transportation...
Thanks,
Siva...

The file transfer will simply export the objects to a TPZ file, allowing you to import on the target system. This requires manual copying and paste of the object and have no further control.
CTS+ on the other side, allows the environment to maintain transport requests with control over objects audit. For example, an object must be created on DEV, then after being developed it must go to QA system and will only be sent to PROD when this object was approved by the respective team on QA. For more information on CTS+, please check the help page below.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/9a/775de286874bc78dcb1470bc80f0f9/frameset.htm
Also the documentation below will provide a more complete overview and configuration steps for the CTS+ usage

How to move PI objects in IR and ID from DEV to QAS

PI 7.1: Transport configuration using the file system

Hi!
How can I transport the configuration objects from DEV to QA, when I have different business systems in DEV and QA (BS_dev and BS_qa)?
I use individual landscapes per system (DEV, QA and PROD).
What have i done?
1. Export the software componet version from DEV/SLD in a file. --> ok
2. Import in the QA/SLD --> ok
3. Export of the objects from DEV/ESR in a file --> ok
4. Import in QA/ESR -->
5. Export of the objects from DEV/ID in a file --> ok
6. Import in QA/ID --> error (different business systems)
Thanks in advance!
Edgar

Hi.
There are two ways to transport ID and IR Object to transport .
1. CTS + : Totally automated Way .,
2. .tpz : Manual Lagacy Import / Import way .
Now . Steps .are :
There are two types of transport mechanisms in XI/PI.
1. File Transport System.
Files are imported and exported into SAP XI OS Level for Development and Quality Server,
This Process is risky as there is no automated system and there is no track record of imported or Exported Files,
as in this syetem exported files are transported to QA System from DEV System.
file Extension in file transport System : - .tpz
2. Through CTMS(Change Transport Managment System).
GUI Based tool, Installed on SAP XI BOX, This system provides the automated transport system , which keep tracks of transported Objects and Failed objects.
There are initial level efforts to set up transport system.
Transport Procedure for Various System :-
DESIGN OBJECTS ---> (ENTERPRISE SERVICE REPSITORY OBJECTS) -
> INTEGRATION BUILDER.
Step -I
1. Select NameSpace to trasport.
2. Right Click on NameSpace to Transport.
3. Select Export Option.
4. Check or Select the Software Component Version.
5. Check the Mode of transport.
CTS MOde:-
5.1 Select a required type of Object Set:
IN OUR CASE: ALL OBJECT OF INDIVIDUAL NAMESPACE.
5.2 Select Transort request.
5.3 Finish the Process.
TRANSPORT USING FILE SYSTEM:-
5.1 Select a required type of Object Set:
IN OUR CASE: ALL OBJECT OF INDIVIDUAL NAMESPACE.
5.2 Finish the Process.
Step II
1. GO TO TOOLS OPTION IN MENU BAR
2. OPEN CTS TRANSPORT ORGANIZER
3. Select the request to Release.
4. Press Button Release.
Step III( Steps to be Perform at Target System).
1. Execute Transection Code STMS.
2. Check your Transport Request Number.
3. Focus on that Trasport Request Number Through Mouse.
4. Now Import The Transport Request on Specific client of Target System.
5.Click Ok.
FINAL :- NOw on Quality Server all Transported Objects Need to be activated.
CONFIGURATION OBJECTS ---> (INTEGRATION DIRECTORY) -
> INTEGRATION BUILDER.
Step -I
1. Select Configuration Scenario to trasport.
2. Right Click on Configuration Scenario to Transport.
3. Select Export Option.
4. Check or Select the Configuration Scenario.
5. Check the Mode of transport.
CTS MOde:-
5.1 Select a required type of Object Set:
IN OUR CASE: ALL OBJECT OF Selected Scenario.
5.2 Select Transort request.
5.3 Finish the Process.
TRANSPORT USING FILE SYSTEM:-
5.1 Select a required type of Object Set:
IN OUR CASE: ALL OBJECT OF Selected Scenario.
5.2 Finish the Process.
Step II
1. GO TO TOOLS OPTION IN MENU BAR
2. OPEN CTS TRANSPORT ORGANIZER
3. Select the request to Release.
4. Press Button Release.
Step III( Steps to be Perform at Target System).
1. Execute Transection Code STMS.
2. Check your Transport Request Number.
3. Focus on that Trasport Request Number Through Mouse.
4. Now Import The Transport Request on Specific client of Target System.
5.Click Ok.
FINAL :- NOw on Quality Server all Transported Objects Need to be activated( CHANGE OBJECTS).

Especially strange looks the Deployable-Id: *

Maybe the different slashes "\" and "/" are the cause of the porblem? Both systems (Portal and Solution manager) run on Windows 2003 Servers.
I have checked the "Note 1232674 - class java.io.IO exception during import" and set up the full control permissions to access "\sapmnt\" for the local (solman) user SAPServiceXO3 but it does not help.
I've created a local "SAPServiceXO3" user in the server of Solman and have given to it highest permissions to the file share. Has anybody any idea how to resolve the problem?
Thanks in advance.

CTS+ Transport Strategy

Dear all,
We are planning to setup CTS+ in our system landscape.
Please provide your inputs, on the pros and cons of this strategy.
Also direct me to links of CTS+ documents on SDN.
Thanks for the help.
Regards,
Younus

Hi,
CTS+ transport is like ABAP way of doing transport of ABAP objects in r/3..........after deploying CTS+ in your XI system, you can release your objects for CTS+ transport from IR, ID and then a transport request for it will be created for you, which you can then release and finally import it in target system.

PI 7.11: Import of CTS+ transport fails (Integration builder only)

Hi,
I've released a transport from DEV to QUAL system.
I've imported via STMS.
But I don't see the transported objects.
The imported change list is already closed and I cannot activate the contained objects.
There's no open change list available for my user.
When I try to transport those objects again, I get an error in STMS:
com.sap.aii.ibtransportclient.XiTransportException: caused by: ClientServerException exception:Unable to transfer object Configuration Scenario SetEmployeeSOAP (DirContext) to change list 'XI 7.1 Import' (c6a9ea7b-57db-11e1-a930-000025876142) since object is already in your change list 'XI 7.1 Import' (e1586c72-57c2-11e1-bf9c-000025876142).
How can I activate the objects contained in the mentioned change lists?
Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, I've crowned too early
The target systems are not filled in correctly.
We have a 3-tier environment (DEV, QUAL, PROD).
I've setup the same SLD settings in SLD in DEV and QUAL system.
SAP_DEV has target SAP_QUAL and SAP_QUAL has target SAP_PROD.
But in the scenario that I've imported into PI QUAL it didn't replace SAP_DEV with SAP_QUAL (e. g. in CC, Receiver determination etc.).
What can be the reason for that?
Are my target settings not correct?

Can there be more than one transport targets for a business system in sld

Hi All,
I have a question about transport targets in sld for sap xi 3.0 sp19.
We have a requirement where a business system needs to have two transport targets.In SLD i see that only one transport target can be assigned. Is there any way to assign more than one transport target to a business system?
I know that there can be more than one source for a business system where more than one different business systems have the same business system as the target.
I am not sure if a business system can have more than one transport target .If yes , what is the way to add more than one ?
Please help .
Thanks,
Padmaja

Hello,
I know that there can be more than one source for a business system where more than one different business systems have the same business system as the target.
As far as I know, you would have to change the target everytime you will transport it to a different target e.g 3 target systems = 3 times you change the transport target in SLD.

Mark

Error when transporting Webservice from our DEV system to QA system

Hello, I created a web service from an rfc by following the wizard from Utilities>More Utilities> Create Web Service. This was created in our 030 client of DEV. I had to create two transports one client independent that was the VI and Service and one Client dependent for the actual webservice. I then transported the webservice to our DEV 200 client and all worked well. Next I transported both to our QA box, first the vi/Service transport then the webservice transport. This is not working, in our QA system, from wsadmin when trying to get the wsdl error is Could not determine wsdl address (ICF ERROR) and from wsconfig when I pull up the service definition and variant the status shows a red stop sign. Is there a trick to transporting this webservice to different systems?
I def award points for helpful answers
Cheers
Devlin

hi,
I had this problem once and in my case the service wasn't activated in SICF.
so see your service tree under /sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/<your_service> and probably it's inactive (grayed out). right klick and activate it.

If you are in Test System, you can use function module AA_AFABER_DELETE to totally delete the depreciation area (tcode SE37, specify chart of depreciation and depreciation area), After that recreate your depreciation area and run AFBN. But before you do that, have you created a retirement transaction type that limits the posting on your new depreciation area? If not create one.
Hope this helps.

Transporting a Structure: Sending & Receiving Systems Don't Match?

I copied a Z1 structure to a Z5 structure in system A(sending system). Because System B(receiving system) already had a similar structure Z1 I did not want to overwrite. The only difference between both Z1s in system A and system B were some include fields appended at the end of the structure. However, when I transport the copied Z5 from system A to system B, the resulting Z5 structure in system B looks like the Z1 structure in system B that I was trying to avoid overwriting. I transported three different ways so far, as a directory object, table definition, and table. No luck, the Z5 structure keeps wanting to look like the Z1 structure in the receiving system.
Anybody know whats going on?
Thank-You.

Hi,
+
B were some include fields appended at the end of the structure.

Have you using Include structure for new fields? If yes whether have you transported this include structure?

Original System incorrect after transporting from BD1 to BQ1 systems

Hi all,
BI 7.0 SP 10
We have having problems with the 'original system' of our DataSources and certain transformations when transporting objects from BI dev system to the BI QA system.
DataTargets are coming through the Transports with the correct 'original system' name but for DataSources and Transformations that are used to map from the DataSource to the DataTargets are incorrect.
We have ensured in our 'Conversion of logical system name' has:
- ID1 -> IQ1
- CD1 -> CQ1
- BD1 -> BQ1 (we were once missing this but this has been added and transported retransported but still it doens't seem to work)
Could it be becauce we accidently activated the DataSources from IQ1 and replicated these in BQ1 and the Transports of the DataSources are not overwriting properly? I would have assumed that the Transports (with overwrite) option would overwrite the existing DataSources and replace it with those from the Dev system.
As for the Transformation, could that be due to the incorrect orginal system setting of the DataSource which in turn is causing issues to the Transformation attached?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Wiki

Hello,
Goto RSA! -> Tool-> conversion of logicalsystem names
Maintain the entries.
SPRO also we can maintain same entries under transportconnection
hope it helps,
