Transport Layer and Objects

what is the relation between the objects of a transport request and the layers in a transport domain?

Dear Abhishek,
First of all a I have to explain packet:
Packet
A packet groups Objects of the Development. Any report or table or data element … belongs to a packet. So every repository element is connected with a packet.
Transport route
A transport route describes the direction a transport can be transported. For example if you want to transport a transport from development to a test system, you have to configure in TMS a transport rout from development to the test system.
Transport layer
A transport layer connects packets to transport routes.
The connection between packet, transport route and transport layer is:
Objects of Development (Programs or Reports or Tables …) <-> packets <-> transport layer <-> transport route <-> systems
If you develop a report in development system and want this report to be transported to the test system you need:
-to connect the report with a packet.
-to connect this packet with a transport layer
-to connect this transport layer to the transport route that is connected to the both system and describes the direction FROM(development system) TO(test system)
For an exact description see:

OSB: The different between transportation layer and security layer

Dear All,
Do you have any idea for compare about security on service bus between transportation layer and message layer?
Which one is better? And do you have any factor to consider which one I should use?
Best REgards,

If you are working with OSB 11g, please refer -
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17904_01/doc.1111/e15866/part_sg.htm#sthref1029
Ofcourse you would like to have both of them if you want a healthy system. If your OSB services are internet facing then it is a sensible decision to have both transport (a bare minimum) & message security. If your services are exposed to a LAN/WAN then you may have either or both of them. Remember, securitiy processing is always an overhaed to the performance so should be used as and when required only.

Anuj

Transport layer and transport package

I have a fundamental query on transport package and layer.
Objects are classified in packages depending on the project and put in $TMP or test package else they are local ? Only objects belonging to a transport package can be transported , others are not ? How transport package is defined ? All objects must be a part of transport package else can not be transported ?
ABout transport layer, I understand this is used to define which path objects will take during transport particularly when there are multiple transport routes. But what are the advantages of it ? How we can define it (trx code/menu path) ?
Is it mandatory to use transport package and layers ?

Hi Mike,
Just to clarify a few basic concepts:
A transport package (formerly called a "development class", a term you may still encounter) groups related development objects. Whenever you create a new development object (table, program, ...) you have to assign it to a package; the object is then placed into a transport request. Alternatively you can indicate it is a local object (its package is then "$TMP") but such an object is non-transportable.
A transport layer identifies the route that transportable devmt objects must follow. Typically in your system you will have two layers: a layer usually called Zxxx (with xxx = SID of your development system) is used for your own developments. Another layer called "SAP" is used for transporting SAP objects, for example changes to standard SAP code implemented via transaction SNOTE and recorded in repairs. Without the "SAP" layer in place, repairs would be non-transportable.
Each transport package belongs to a layer. You assign the layer when you create a new package in transaction SE80. You can change the layer later on, but this is rarely needed and can cause quite a few side-effects. SAP objects always have layer "SAP". The layers themselves are managed in STMS, under "Transport Routes".
Hope this clarifies things,
Rgds, Mark

Transport request and objects

hi experts,
can anybody tellme how u transport requets and how u transport objects.

hi,
You can check all the requests in SE01 or STMS.
You should know how STMS works at least.
In STMS you normally select the system (DEV/QA/PRD) for which you want to look at transport requests. After selecting the relevant system, you normally get to see the 'IMPORT QUEUE'. This means the following:
(make sure you press the REFRESH button first)
1) transport requests in the import queue of your QA system are not imported yet. (imported ones, you can find back via the menu by selecting the 'IMPORT HISTORY'.
So if you want to find out about requests that are already on your QA system, but NOT on your productive system, you just select PRD , and look at your import queue for this particular system. These transports that you see there are ALREADY imported on QA , but not yet on the production system.
Case Closed I would say, not??
The only thing that might make my statement 'uncertain' is if the company has a specific 'approval procedure'. For example, suppose you have released a new development on your development system. An automatic job imports every hour all released transports from your development system into your QA system. (ofcourse you can always manually import a request).
Now after an hour the request is automatically imported on your QA system and you can do the necessary Unit and Integration testing.
Now, under normal circumstances, after import of your request on the QA system, in STMS it will automatically appear in the import list of the production system.
In case of the approval procedure however, you first might need to select tested requests, select them, approve them (via an approval button ) and run a job to release all approved requests. Only after they are released by the job, they will appear in the Import Queue of the production system.
But ok, I only saw this in practice at one customer so far...but just that you know

Updating Transport Layer in Packages

Hi all, I have a question on Transport Layers and that set in Packages.
The situation is a system that has been copied and renamed in 4.6 (System was copied from a combined install to a new install with all the customisations kept to provide a separated system with the same functionality) and then upgraded to ECC6. Now the existing customer packages are still assigned to the old Transport layers and thus if any changes are made the system insists on a Local Change Request. I know I can individually change each package to the new Transport Layer this then wants a Local Change Request to do this which can then be modified to the right Transport layer, and the package now allows the correct Transport Layer to be used when doing further modifications.
My question is basically Is there a SAP program that will enmass change old Transport Layer assignment to a new valid Transport Layer?
Was there a step missed in the original 4.6 conversion, and can that step be executed now the system has been upgraded to ECC 6?
An example of the entries in the table TDEVC: (sorry for the horrible format)
                        OLD     .    NEW
DEVCLASS     ZCCO    . ZCO-MAIN
INTSYS            (blank) . (blank)
CONSYS          (blank) . (blank)
CTEXT              (blank) . (blank)
KORRFLAG           X     .    X
AS4USER       USER     . USER
PDEVCLASS   ZCSD     . ZFED
DLVUNIT          HOME   . HOME
COMPONENT   (blank) . (blank)
NAMESPACE /0CUST/ . /0CUST/
Where the layer ZCSD is no longer valid and ZFED is a new Layer that is functioning correctly for cross system transporting.

Hi Jason,
I am not sure if there is a program after system copy to change, from old transport layers to new transport layers.
Have you already run BDLS after the system copy. It helps you in change the logical system name and client number as required.
Also the following link provides some insite to your query:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3d/ad5bcf4ebc11d182bf0000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
ctc stands for Client Transport Control and represents a method of configuration for transport routes.
Kindly let me know if this was helpful

Inconsistency when trying to create a transport layer

Hello , I'm new to Abap / SAP and recently installed " SCN - SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP 7:03 64 - bit Trial" for purposes of study . The system was installed on a virtual machine with the following settings :
Ram Memory : 3GB
HD : 100GB
Virtual Memory : 20480
Windows 7 PRO 64
I'm following the steps ABAP Trial Version for Newbies Manfred Lutz 's blog at the following link:
http://scn.sap.com/people/manfred.lutz/blog/2007/03/16/new-blog-series-abap-trial-version-for-newbies.
I'm stuck in step 7 where I need to create a transport layer and a virtual machine to create though both my system returns the layer is inconsistent. To create the layer I followed the following steps :
Client : 000
User : sap *
Transaction STMS
The system asks me to create a new TMS with the fields already filled in previously , just click on save . However when creating this way the system says that the TMS is inconsistent.
I wish someone could help me on this problem .

ChaRM taking standard SAP transport layer for a project

Hi
After creating transport request via ChaRM, we notice that the request is assigned to the transport group where standard SAP transport layer is assigned, and not to the respective project transport group.
I activated ChaRM for a project, by assigning logical component DEV-100 -
QAS-200 -
PRD-300
When creating transport request via CR, the request is created in D10-100 and assigned to /GLOBAL/ transport group instead of /PROJ01/ group. After debugging I notice that ChaRM is sending SAP transport layer and since SAP layer is assigned to /GLOBAL/, all requests are assigned to /GLOBAL/ group.
Is there any report or missing step which I should execute?
Thanks & Regards
Madhu Bommala

Hello Madhu,
To define what should be the transport layer used by Charm you should execute the report /tmwflow/set_track_generation ,
if you want to use your transport layer instead SAP layer, you should set the option NO_SAP in this report.
I hope that this information can help you.

What's the difference between transport route and transport layer

what's the difference between transport route and transport layer,Can somebody give me some explaination? thks in advance!

Hi,
Transport Layer in ABAP Workbench
    The Change and Transport System supports the distribution of development
    work on large projects across multiple SAP Systems.
    The packages in each development system are grouped into one transport
    layer.
    The transport layer determines whether objects are assigned to a local
    or transportable change request.
Use
    Each of your SAP development systems is assigned a transport layer as
    its standard transport layer. If you use Extended Transport Control, you
    can assign different standard transport layers to certain clients.
    You can define at the most one consolidation target for each SAP System
and transport layer.
When you create a package, it is assigned the standard transport layer
of the SAP System.
If you want to assign a different transport layer to a package, you
require the administration authorization for the Change and Transport
System.
The objects in a package automatically have the transport attributes
defined for the corresponding transport layer.
o   If a consolidation route originating in their SAP System is defined,
     then the objects are assigned to a transportable request, and
     transported into the consolidation target when it is released.
o   If a consolidation route is not defined, the objects are assigned to
     a local request, and are not transported.
Customizing settings are not assigned to a package. They have the
transport attributes of the standard transport layer of the system or
client.
It is best to assign a package a standard transport layer for which a
consolidation route originating in the development system is defined.
To display and maintain the transport layers and routes, use the
Transport Management System (transaction STMS).
Only the system adminstrator can make changes.
Caution:
     The tables TSYST, DEVL, TWSYS, TASYS are no longer productive as of
     Release 4.0A and cannot be maintained.
Regards
Ben

Imported Objects - Package has a different Transport Layer

Hi,
We imported SAP objects into our DEV environment. All the objects are in a Package where the transport layer is ZB60 which does not exist in our DEV environment. I did a Request Consistency Check on the transport and I got the error "Only edit objects from package ZIVARA_SAP in local requests". I tried to change the transport layer to what we have in our DEV system which is Z9EV but it only created a local Workbench request.
How do I go about changing it to our DEV Transport Layer (Z9EV). The objects that we imported are NOT going to be a one time import/installation. We may be making some changes to the objects in the future and we want it to be transportable just like our own SAP objects. Your reply is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Giscard

Dear Giscard,
Try importing the objects with Transport of Copies, then you should be able to edit them in your DEV system.

RMI live object Object ID at transport layer

Hi...
On the server side, when the server object is created, the constructor of UnicastRemoteObject performs an exportObject(). Inside exportObject(), an UnicastServerRef object is instantiated and exported. It creates a live reference object (the transport layer) which contains an IP address, a TCP port number and an Object ID.
From some article i read this.
Then a mapping from the Object ID to the stub and skeleton is registered in an object table residing in the transport layer.
Could nyone plz tell me wat is this:
1.Live reference object
2.Object ID
How it relates to stub and skeleton and wat is this mapping?
I searched a lot in UnicastServerRef class's exportObj() method, it further defines some Target class object. In fact i searched all this in Util class then WeakClassHashMap, WeakHashMap, then SoftReference...But i did not understand Object ID , live reference object etc.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Tx in advance
Bye
Naseem Khan

1.Live reference objectAn instance of java.rmi.server.ServerRef (which extends java.rmi.server.RemoteRef). The concrete instance happens to be called LiveRef and it is defined in a sun.* package. That's all you need to know.
2.Object IDAn instance of java.rmi.server.ObjID, i.e. a unique identifier for the remote object.
How it relates to stub and skeleton and wat is this
mapping?The stub (and skeleton when you have one) contain the ObjID and it is passed to the server host along with each call. At the host there is a mapping table from ObjID which tells the RMI runtime which object to dispatch the call to.
If you want to know more you need to look at the sun.rmi.* source code. Of course this only applies to Sun's implementation and you don't need to know any of it to write RMI programs.

Transport an Appraisal and Objective Setting Template

Note the following advice pertaining to transporting an appraisals and objective setting template (I have not found documentation about this anywhere else, so hopefully some of you find this useful):
Scenario:
You have maintained your templates in PHAP_CATALOG_PA in the main config client, and you have transported all other configurations (basic settings, etc.) to your unit test/integration test environment.
However, although you have right-clicked the category groups and templates to be transported and included them in a transport request, you find that only some of your configuration (or perhaps none at all!) is arriving in the target client when the transport is performed.
You may initially be able to work around this by downloading/uploading your config, but once your templates contain more complex configuration (such as using dynamic element references, etc.) you will find that this is no longer a feasible approach.
Cause & Resolution:
The problem is caused by outdated information in the workflow definition environment (transaction SWU3), and specifically the section labeled "Check Entries from HR Control Tables".
Run transaction SWU3, expand tree node "Maintain Definition Environment" (which should be marked with a red cross at this stage) and click on "Check Entries from HR Control Tables". The information presented in the right-hand pane indicates that:
If there are errors regarding the transport objects PDST or PDWS, the relevant entries are not maintained in table SOBJ. You can use the report RHSOBJCH to rectify this later.
Proceed as suggested and run report RHSOBJCH (through SE38 or SA38) in the config client (i.e. where the templates are to be transported from). This has no side-effects I am aware of other than updating the reference information required.
If you now run SWU3 again you should find that the "Check Entries from HR Control Tables" node is marked with a green tick.
Simply go back to the catalog, include your cat.groups & templates in a transport again, and Voila! Our work here is done.
Happy transporting...
Side-note: You may ask (as I did) what transporting of appraisal templates has to do with workflow, but it just so happens that the PD objects and infotypes associated with appraisals (VA, VB, VC, etc.) are transported through the same mechanism as workflow templates (which are also PD objects). if you peek inside the transport you will note that everything to do with the template and category group configuration is bundled inside PDWS and PDST transport objects...

Hi Abe,
what is the appraisal process you are talking about? The new stuff in ep4 where you define the process and steps which create the roadmap at the top of the document? if so SAP does not have a great straightforward solution, but they did provide us some options.

Transporting Integration Directory objects between N and N+1 landscapes

I have a question regarding the transport of Integration Directory objects.
We are implementing N+1 PI 7.3 (java only) Development and QA systems. The N+1 PI systems are a copy of the Production Support (N) PI Development and QA systems. As part of the N+1 build we will also configure the business systems in the SLD for this landscape. Is it possible to transport objects from the "N" landscape into the "N+1" landscape? These changes would only be new objects that would not overwrite anything in N+1. For anything that is also being changed in N+1 we would perform manually. Is there anything special needed when setting up the business system in the SLD for this scenario?
Thanks!

Thanks Barry
That menu option is available to me too but there is no option to use CTS+ in the pull down list.
I can't visit imageshack from work so I can't see your screenshot but I'd bet you have the option to export using "Open CTS+ Organizer" on the first menu too - I don't.
I've obviously got some config missing but, given I can transport ESR and SLD objects, I'm struggling to know what.

When I select a single object in a layer and try to move it with the mouse, everything goes with...

I've been having this problem where I can't use the move tool with the mouse properly. I'll go and select a single item on a layer and then try to move it with the mouse (move tool). I've done this before and still do it all the time on Photoshop on my other machines. However, on my laptop it won't work. I grab the single object I want to move and the second I move it, it defaults to moving every single layer in my file. The only way to get around it is to use the arrows, but that's becoming laborious and frustrating.
Any ideas?

I know what you mean! This happened to me as well!
And one thing that I found useful is, if you want to directly select a layer without selecting from the layers pallete and without having autoselect enabled, just hold Ctrl and click on in directly in the image. This saved me a lot of time!

Transports and Object activation

Hi
This may be a stupid qn - but when we transport InfoObjects and Infocubes from Dev to QA or Production system, do we have to go into QA/Prod and activate the objects again manually, or are they transported in the activated state?
Thanks
Pooja.

Hi Pooja,
You do not have to manually activate the objects after transport (nor are you actually supposed to). If the objects are active when you transport, they will also be active in the target system.
Hope this helps...

How to transport an LSMW object from dev to Quality and to Production?

hi All,
Could any one please specify how to transport the lSMW object from developmen to Quality and finally to Production?
Thanks in Advance.
Regards.
Abhilash.

Hi,
The "cleaner" way is using normal transport procedure via "Extras->Generate Change Request".
This will transport the entire project though, not possible to transport a single object this way.
step by step
1. Run Tcode LSMW in source system.
2. in the menu bar choose Extras-->Export. Now give the filename and save in your desktop.
3. Now login to destination system. again execute LSMW.
4. Now goto Extras-->Import.Give your file which was downloaded earlier.
5. Now tool bar click on import with diffrent name option and give your new project and subprojectname.
6. Now execute all steps.
Also refer the below link
