Job to Import Transport of Copies

Hi, we are implementing CHARM. In case of regular correction, when i say TEST Transport, it creates copy of that transport and release so that copy is in Buffer of quality system. But i want to automate that process. My question is , is it possible to schedule any job which imports only Transport of Copies (i.e. any request of type T).
Please help.
Thanks

Hello Powai,
Have you looked over this blog post?
Transport of Copies (ToC): Small yet powerful concept
They talk about scheduling a task, and it may be what you are looking for, so have a review.

How to import transport of copies to productive systems

Hello,
I have been experiencing a problem that even the guys from admin could not solve (yet). I should say I work in a development team.
Imagine you have two landscapes, one DEV-QAS(1) to develop big projects and a normal DEV-QAS-PRD(2) landscape where my objects will be imported. After a new group of objects is finished in (1), we ask to import the workbench request in the STMS queue of DEV(2). After this, and after some small test, we create a transport of copies in DEV(2) where we include the first transport, release it and import it to the QAS(2) queue. After the tests in QAS(2) the idea would be to import the transport of copies to productive system PRD(2). But it does not work...
In STMS queue for PRD(2), there is no entry for the transport of copies. Also, when I tried to add the transport request to the import queue (via menu -> Extras -> Other requests -> Add), I get an error message stating that no co-files where found for the transport.
Does anyone know this problem? I suspect it can have sothing to do with the use of a transport of copies, but, if I don't use this kind of transport, how can I get objects from other systems to production?
Thanks in advance.

Davide,
Re your latest questions:
> 1) Why this problem with transport of copies doesn't happen from DEV(2) to QAS(2), since these systems are also not in the same transport directory?
>
I think the answer is in your original problem description:
we create a transport of copies in DEV(2) where we include the first transport
>
When you create a transport of copies you must indicate a terget system and I suppose you enter QAS(2) there. In that case the TMS will add the request to the import buffer of the target system when you export the request from DEV(2). I understand that you never have to add transports of copies to the import buffer of QAS(2) manually, which proves the TMS does this for you. However, for further imports into systems that are not designated as target system of the transport of copies, like PRD(2), the TMS will do nothing of the sort and you must add the request to the queue yourself - which in your case also means you have to forward the transport files first.
> Can we assume, then, that, where I was working before, all three systems were configured in the same transport directory, avoiding thus the problem with the transport of copies requests?
Yes, and that is the most common way of setting up the transport system. Having separate transport systems really only makes sense when sharing the transport directory between the dev, qas and prd systems (via NFS for UNIX, via network shares for Windows) is not possible, either because there is no local network between the servers or because some security policy forbids it. I'd advise you to certainly ask the question to your system admin.

How could I schedule a job in stms which would import transport on other cl

How could I schedule a job in stms which would import transport on other clients of same system. Routes are already set.

Hello Tina,
Start the program RDDNEWPP once in every SAP System. Do this as user DDIC in client 000 and in all clients that are used as the source or target for a transport. tp can then start the background job RDDIMPDP in every SAP System if it is needed to perform a transport (export or import).

Revert back/Undo the import of transport of copies/transport files

Hi All,
We have imported the transport of copies/transport files suggested by SAP Note 810014 into the development and quality systems and the client requires it to be undo the import.
Please let us know how to undo the import
Regards,
Venkat

Hi,
undoing an import the way you would like it to be done is not possible.
In genereal you got four possibilities I can think of.
1.) Undo the changes manually in DEV and transport the request to QAS. This presumes you know what have been changed.
2.) If versioning is active you may activate an old version. This depends on what your transport contained.
3.) Restore the system.
4.) Raise a SAP Call.

Normal Correction flow & Transport of copies

Hi,
I am performing following steps for Normal Correction. But when I first time schedule the imoprt job, nothing is moved to Quality system.
u2022     Action u2018Set to In developmentu2019. Status changes to u2018In Developmentu2019.
u2022     Perform action u2018Create Transport Requestu2019. Transport Request (ID6K900342) created.
u2022     Change the Maintenance Cycle phase to u2018Development with Releaseu2019
u2022     Developer completes the work & releases the Task in satellite system
u2022     Action: u2018Test Transportu2019. Creates Transport of copies (ID6K900344)
u2022     Schedule the import job. ( But after executing also nothing will be moved to Quality)
u2022     Action: u2018Complete Developmentu2019. System creates another new Transport of copies (ID6K900347) for Original Request.
u2022     Schedule the Import job. ( But after executing also nothing will be moved to Quality)
What could be the reason. both the TP copies are in queue only, nothing is moved to quality.
Regards
PK

Hi PK,
Let me try to explain:
NC => 80000001
1. Create TR
XXXK0001 (Original TR)
2. "Test Transport" or "Complete Development"
XXXK0001 (Original TR) -> still not released
XXXK0002 (ToC- copy of XXXK0001)-> is created in DEV
3. Import TRs to QAS (from task list)
XXXK0001 (Original TR) -> still not released
XXXK0002 (ToC) -> is moved to QAS
4. Now the changes are in QAS, but is not placed in the PRD import queue. So, you can test it with no risk.
5. If you have problem, go back to 'In development'
Correct the problem in XXXK0001
and go to step 2 again.
6. If the changes are OK in QAS
- Select 'successful tested'
XXXK0001 (Original TR) -> is released
7. Import to QAS
XXXK0001 imported in QAS and automatically placed in PRD import queue.
8. Import to PRD
The ToC is used to avoid import an inconsistent TR into PRD system, because once it has been imported in QAS, the same will be available to import into PRD, without any test.

Transport Organizer SE10: perform transport of copies

Hi,
I would like to make a "transport of copies" from production system to development system. I collected my objects in a "standard" transport request via RSA1 -> Transport Connection. Then I created a "transport of copies" request in SE10.
So I now have the standard request and a second transport of copies request where I set the development system as target system.
I now need to move the collected objects to this transport of copies request but couldn't figure out how to do this...
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
please perform steps below, some you already covered:
Transport from PRD to DEV
1. First collecte it in a workbench TR in Production. and release this request.
2. Now create a TR as "Tranport copies request" in SE10 . This is 3rd type of TR apart from Customizing TR and Workbench TR.
3. Include the components of TR released in first step into the TR created in 2nd step.
4. Now go to edit mode for TR created in step 2, specify the DEV system Logical name as the destination for this Tr.
5. Now release this TR. And if you refresh the STMS in DEV you can get it in the list. So import it.
So keeping in mind your steps already done: you need to release the first transport (copy the number because you need it at step 3). Then in step 3 you go to the transport of copies request and there is a 'include objects' button/icon in the menu bar. You click this and then paste your copied transport number and the objects will be included. Follow up with further steps.
Hope this helped,
regards
C.

ChaRM - Import Transport Request - Production

Hello Dears,
I have some issues/doubts with my ChaRM process.
- Before the u201CImport Transport Request (Background)u201D on QAS environment, if I change the status to u201CGo Liveu201D in SCMA, I can u201CImport Transport Request (Background)u201D on PRD environment, without any verification in the support message.
Example: If the support message was in u201CTest statusu201D, on SCMA I can import to production environment. Wouldnu2019t have be a check or lock to not allow this action?
- Exist any way to select the requests to import to PRD environment?
Regards to all,
FS

Fabio
you have several options to schedule transports for like every hour
TMS jobs must be scheduled via STMS. To do this:
1) Goto transaction STMS
2) Select 'Overview --> Imports'
3) Double click on the system you wish to schedule the job for
4) Click on the truck icon to schedule an import all job (only import
   all jobs may be scheduled as periodic)
5) Fill in target client, if necessary
6) Select 'At start time' and fill in the date and time
7) Next to 'Period' there is a box with a gray background. If you
   click in the box a drop-down arrow will appear. Click on this.
8) Select your period from the menu options and click on the green
   check.
9) Click on the green check again and your job will be scheduled.
or
you schedule the automatic import of u_rgent corrections via /TMWFLOW/SCMA_BTCH_SYNC_UC

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

How to find out which User id used to import Transport Request thru STMS ??

Dear Experts we have 6 BASIS Consultants in our org with STMS authroizations.
In every day we review Imported Transport request thry Import History Option in STMS.
Our requirement is which request is imported by which BASIS Consutlant thru STMS?
Thanks for your replies in advance

Hi,
You should be able to see the "owner" of a transport request under the import history in STMS. If you need the user too you can choose the menu "Edit --> Display More".

Problem in extracting from the import transport set

i am exporting all of the major page groups and providers from my source box to the target machine. both are using the same version database, app server and portal version 904.
for one of the biggest provider, i created transport sets in the export system, ran the script for NT to create a dump file. moved dump files to the import system, imported its transport set from this file. now i am trying to extract the imported transport set.
here i am facing problems one after the other.
1. first is this that this extraction from the import transport set is costing too much time. more than 36 hours have already passed and it has not finished.
2. it does seem to populate though as after several hours i see the log file with its lines showing a message like .... 'importing component ... so and so ... '. however, the whole process is not finishing or going fast. there is no other process running on this target box.
3. and surprisingly, the log files update the start time of the script every few hours.
can somebody please help? this is a very time-sensitive request.
thanks.

Re-importing Transport Request

Hi,
I think it's a basis question, but you might know the answer.
It's possible to import transport request which is already completely imported into production system, since I want to transport it to other client in production system.
Advance thanks.
Regards,
Balaji Viswanath.

Hello,
Re-importing is possible as well in STMS as with parameter 'unconditional mode' of the tp-Tool. Use unconditional mode '1' to reimport when using tp from command line. In STMS, import the single request by positioning on the request in the import queue and using 'request -> import'. As Option in the following popup, choose 'Import request again'. You might have to add the Request to the import queue again manually, if it is no longer in the import queue.
