Transport directory.....

Can the different transports groups, under 1 single transport domain controller, have different
respective transport directories, I mean they all donu2019t have to have a common directory?

  • Upgrade - Transport Directory Strategy

    Hello All,
    We are having the below 4.7 Landscape,
    DEV -> QAS -> PRD
    We are having central Transport Directory. /usr/sap/trans is present in PRD which is mounted to DEV and QAS.
    Now, we are doing DEV Upgrade.
    So, we have created a Temporary Development DVP for 4.7 (which is a copy of DEV) so that we can continue our 4.7 Developments. Basically a approach of Dual Landscapes for Upgrades, one for 4.7 and one for ECC6.
    Now, DEV has its local /usr/sap/trans, while we have mounted /usr/sap/trans(of PRD) to DVP. So new 4.7 Landscape is
    DVP-> QAS -> PRD
    After I do my QAS Upgrade, 4.7 Landscape will be turned to a 2 System landscape. Because of H/W constraints we cannot have two QAS (one for 4.7 and other for ECC6).
    My question is,
    After I do my QAS Upgrade, should my QAS DIR_TRANS point to /usr/sap/trans of DEV or PRD?
    I am planning to point it to that of DEV, we will have dual Central Trans Directories,
    one for 4.7 Landscape (/usr/sap/trans in PRD) for DVP->  PRD
    and the other for ECC 6 (/usr/sap/trans in DEV) for DEV -> QAS
    What do I do after PRD upgrade? should my DIR_TRANS for ECC 6 PRD point to /usr/sap/trans of DEV ?
    Thanks!

    if you are upgrading in a parallel landscape , you really dont need to worry about the transport directory of the 4.7 landscape.
    as soon as you upgrade the DEV , i guess you can have a DIR_TRANS pointing locally
    and you can make that the Central transport directory for the ECC landscape
    As i said earlier , you need to keep track of changes that are performed in the 4.7 landspace after the DEV upgrade and make sure they are recreated(if necessary) in the ECC landspace as part of the Dual maintanence.
    As long as you keeo track of the changes that are happening in the 4.7 landspace and manage it approriately , you are fine.
    Planning would be crucial.

  • Shared transport directory best practices?

    Does anyone have any documentation / knowledge on using a shared transport directory - ie, BI, R3, SolMan, etc in the same '/usr/sap/trans/cofiles + data directories, or is it preferred to keep them separate?
    Currently, our R3 system shares one transport directory across the landscape, but BI, SRM, and Solution Manager do not.  While thinking about giving each of them their own shared directories (all BI systems share a directory, all SRM system share a directory, etc), I wondered if the preferred method is to have them all share a directory.
    I would appreciate any input, thank you.
    ~TJ

    There are different philosophies here, but mine is:
    Keep them separate so that a transport does not accidentally get moved to the wrong system.  I know that with QA worklist and workflow and other tools that can be incorporated to allow this to not happen, but there is always a chance that a transport gets approval but goes to the wrong system, as in SAP fixes.
    Hope this helps.

  • Common Transport Directory Migration

    Our ERP 6.0 system is running on Windows 2003 Server 64 bit. The default install created a separate transport directory on each CI host. As a result users do not have log information of their transports into the PROD system, from the DEV or QAS systems. Currently they have to log into each instance to get their transport log information from the transport organizer.
    I have read the online help and reviewed the SAP Notes on creating a common directory however  I have not found any solid information to assist migrating/merging an already existing TMS setup. .
    I have created the following check list in preparation to merge the separate transport directories into a common transport directory. Is there anything I missed?
    1. Schedule maintenance to ensure Business analysts/Developers are out of all ERP systems.
    2. Backup the entire \usr\sap\trans directories on DEV, QAS and PROD before beginning.
    3. Update the TMS Domain Profiles for each respected system with the common directory path of the Transport Domain Controller. In our case it is the Dev server.
    DIR_TRANS = \\hostname\sapmnt\trans
    4. Merge the  following QAS directories into the respected DEV directories (Confirm to overwrite existing files)
    \usr\sap\trans\cofiles
    \usr\sap\trans\data
    \usr\sap\trans\logs
    5.Repeat with the PROD directories into the respected DEV directories (Confirm to overwrite existing files)
    \usr\sap\trans\cofiles
    \usr\sap\trans\data
    \usr\sap\trans\logs
    Te goal is to insure that the delta changes between PROD, QAs & DEV are fully merged.

    Thanks,
    Jon Sells

    We tried to implement this migration of the common transport directories and it was not successful. We ended up restoring back to the individual EPS directories.
    What happened is that the QAS Queues did not reflect all the correct transports. (Yes, Siddhesh, I did as you said) In addition the add to buffer (crooked arrow) not longer functioned for newly released transports from DEV.
    Does anyone have a white paper or SAP Note that would help on Migrating a common Tranpsort directory for Windows? Our Developers & Analyst do not like having to logon to each system to see view the transport logs. They are under the impression that they shoul be able to use SE10 in DEV and see the transport/import logs.
    Thank you

  • Change STMS transport directory

    Hi gurus,
    I have a High Availability SAP ERP system (SAP ECC 6.0) as PRD server. We used an old server for DEV system (Host name = sapdev). These two servers belonged to a STMS domain.
    Recently we made homogeneous system copy and created a new Development (PRD copy) system to a new server. the new servers host name is AthinaDEV. We created a new STMS domain, joining the new DEV and PRD systems. The problem is that transport directory in PRD seams to be 
    sapdev\sapmnt\trans\ and in DEV seams to be
    athinadev\sapmnt\trans\. In both servers in Transport Tool I have configured TRANSDIR as
    athinadev\sapmnt\trans.
    How can I change the transport directory to PRD to look
    athinadev?
    Thanks in advanced

    OK,
    I added the profile parameter DIR_TRANS with the correct path to both systems and now both systems use
    athinadev\sapmnt\trans as transport domain. All seems to be correct now (all checks return success) but I can't transfer any request.
    For example: I have created a test ABAP program. I have created a request for that program. I released the request from SE11 transaction succesffully. But when I use STMS transaction I have the following situation: in import overview I can see both systmes and 1 request waiting. When I double click on PRD to enter to import queue the list is empty.
    I have cheked the permissions on trans folder and seems to be ok (prdadm has corrrect permissions).
    The two systems has connected with transport routes.
    Can anyone help me find the solution?

  • Central transport directory

    Dear all,
    we are running ecc 6.0 (v5r4m0), with central transport directory.
    How can i switch to local transport directories.
    Thanks
    Imran Hasware

    Hi Imran,
    ok, if you don't know how to remove and add links with RMVLNK/DEL or ADDLNK then you should not change anything - otherwise it it 100% sure, that everything is destroyed afterwards
    You are having a totally different problem as you write:
    /usr/sap/trans/tmp/****.LOC file. already in use.
    => there is a semaphore file still there, that shows, that a TP is running - most likely since 3 days, since you are facing these issues.
    If no tp is running anymore, this is an error and should be deleted manually. This kind of file is there by purpose so that the other TPs wait in critical pathes of other TPs. This happens in unshared trans dirs the same way ...
    => you should delete it and import 1 or 2 TPs first and see all is fine - then you can import your 30 TPs in one step - exactly because of these kind of files, it CAN be imported in parallel and will not crash the system.
    (unfortunately this process sometimes gets out of sync ...)

  • Same transport domain. different transport directory, possible?

    Hi SAP folks,
    A quick query, I work on multiple systems within a single SAP transport domain. Recently we have requirements to move 2 non-ABAP systems to a different transport directory while keeping the rest intact.
    The reason for this is we are doing CTS+ for the 2 non-ABAP system and do not want to share the transport directories for the rest of the ABAP system.
    Please advise if this can be done and how?
    The following link for SAP suggested that it's possible but stop short of how to do it.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/c4/6045377b52253de10000009b38f889/content.htm
    Anyone done similar setup? care to share?
    Thank you.
    Regards,
    Jansen

    Hi,
    You can do this very well. First you should remove the two systems that you wanted to configure for CTS+ from your existing transport domain. To do this, login to your existing transport domain controller and delete the systems you wanted to remove from transport domain.
    To perform this:
    STMS --> Overview -> Systems -> < choose the system u want to delete> -> SAP Systems -> Delete. Confirm the deletion and save and activate the changes made to ur configuration.
    And then add your Non-ABAP systems you wanted to configure for CTS+ using the domain controller you decided for CTS+.
    I hope this help you to perform your action.

  • Common transport directory configuration

    Dear Gurus,
    I installed ECC6.0 sr3 (dev and quality on the same server) windows 2003. Production server on seperate server. Now I want to configure common transport directory.
    For dev and qas using same transport directory beacuse they are in the same server.
    But production server is having seperate transport directory.
    Is it compulsory having the common tranport directory.
    Can Any body give the steps to add the production server in the same tranport directory.
    Regards

    Is it compulsory having the common tranport directory.
    No, it is not compulsory.
    You can use STMS tcode to configure the same.

  • Unable to use global transport directory

    Hi,
    I have a 3 system SAP landscape consisting of DEV, QAS, PRD. I configured TMS and put all three system into the same transport group. DEV and QAS can shared the same transport directory residing in DEV. However I am unable to get PRD to use the global transport directory. PRD is always using its transport directory. How can I allow PRD to use the global transport directory?
    Rdgs

    Hi,
    The transport directory is shared out which explains why QAS is able to use the same transport directory. DIR_TRANS in PRD points to local transport directory and not the shared transport directory. Is there really a need to set DIR_TRANS parameter if TMS is configured? In QAS, I don't see DIR_TRANS being set in the instance profile.
    I did tried setting DIR_TRANS in PRD however the system reported the parameter as unknown.
    BTW, PRD is a copied from another system. We migrated the old PRD to a new server.

    Oh man - that is Windows Security basics.
    I am wondering how people can try to install and administrate enterprise level applications without this knowledge.
    you may try to create SAPSERVICE<SID> as a local user on the machine where the transport directory is stored on and give it the same password on this machine.  After that add it to the local SAP_LocalAdmin group.
    After that the access should work (if both servers are member of the same workgroup).

  • Common Transport Directory

    Hi Experts,
    I have some doubt about the procedure to setup a common transport directory.
    Lets assume I have a 3 systems landscape (Windows env)  with DEV,QTY and PRD systems. After installing SAP on the three servers, now I have to include the above systems in a common transport domain. I want DEV system to be my domain controller.
    My doubts are:
    1) Before configuring DEV as domain controller using STMS, do I need to share /usr/sap/trans dir for this system ?
    2) (Assume /usr/sap/trans dir for DEV is shared by now) After I include the QTY and PRD system into this domain using STMS, How will the QTY and PRD system understant that they shud use the shared "/usr/sap/trans " dir of DEV and not their local /usr/sap/trans. Do I manually edit some settings for QTY and PRD systems to achieve this ? Please let me know exact steps that are involved.
    Thanks !
    Mandeep

    Hello,
    Try the following.
    http://www.sap-img.com/basis/how-to-do-the-tms-configuration.htm
    And also,
    STMS configuration.
    1.Login to 000 client with user DDIC
    2. goto STMS --> prompts to create a domain controller --> check with entries and save.
    3. goto systemoverview -->SAP system --> create virtual system ( For QAS and PRD)
    4.goto Transport routes -->change --> configuration --> standard configuration --> three system in group --> enter SID's --> specify Three system configuration and distribute configuration to all systems.
    Once you created virtual systems and then goto transport routes and configutation -->change --> standard configuration --> threesystem group. specify SID's of three systems and save then specift three system configuration and distridute configuration.
    Once you have done above thing add QAS and PRD in to landscape.
    1. Login to PRD system 000 client with DDIC user.
    2.STMS --> prompts to create domain controller > select other configuration and add to existing domain controller ( i.e DEV because DEV is domain controller).> specify system details for PRD system.
    3.Once you added and saved. login to DEV system --> 000 with DDIC --> stms --> system overview --> select PRD system --> SAP system --> Approve and save.
    4. follow the same steps for QAS also.
    5. A communication user will be created between domain controller and remaining systems in a landscape. ie TMSADM
    6. the entire configuration will be stored in DOMAIN.cfg file in trans/bin folder
    I hope this information will helpful to you.
    Note: Points always encourage me to reply !!

  • UNIX permissions to NFS transport directory

    I have upgraded lately to ERP 6.0 on HPUX /Oracle 10.
    I have installed a NFS directory /usr/sap/trans .
    When I release a transport request the owner is unknown (110) and the group (109).
    The Productive system can see the file but has no access to it.
    If I change the owner (chown) everything works fine.
    What I have to do fix it ?
    It sounds to me , there is a UNIX file that allows to insert shared users.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    the SIDadm user of DEV need to be domain user where you can provide him necessary access on the usr/sap/trans and same should be with Production, if the user was local only to DEV/PRD system then the DEV/PRD system trans directory cannot recognize and validate the permissions of SIDadm user.
    You have to mount the usr/sap/trans of PRD onto usr/sap/trans of DEV so that what ever releases happens they will come and sits PRD trans directory and can be accessed by PRD.
    Even when you mount the transport directory of PRD onto DEV, you should include the DEV system as trusted in PRD and viceversa.
    Then this should work.

  • How to share Common transport directory with Production

    Dear All,
    we are following three-system landscape with Dev & Qas on the same server & production server in a Cluster.Now I am going to start the production server installation but I have few query before starting the installation:
    1. The Dev+Qas server is sharing a common transport directory (/usr/sap/trans). The production server needs to share the same transport directory.I have few options:
    a)Should I need to share the common transport directory during the installation
    b)I install the production server first then I can share the transport directory which is currently being shared by Dev & Qas system
    c)I need to share the Common transport directory first & then start the installation so that during installation Production system writes into the Common traansport directory
    Please advise.
    Thanks in advance,
    Sandipan

    Hi,
    By mounting, do you mean just to share it as we are using Windows Server 2003 x64 bit system, so just by sharing will it work.
    Need your suggestion on whether can I install the production system first & then by sharing the transport directory from Dev( or Qas) it can join in the exisitng transport directory. As during installation of production server also,the system will create /usr/sap/trans. If I don't share the already exisitng /usr/sap/trans of Dev system, can I share it later so that production system can join into the common transport directory without any problem.
    Please guide,
