Transport Strategy

Hi All,
We have a brand new BI 7.0 system. We have finished our development. I had few question with regards to transports. We are implementing FICO area. Please advise.
This is what I am planning to do:
1) Collect all InfoObjects into a Transport Request. (This is Transported First).
Drag an Infoprovider and only select the InfoObjects to Transport.
Settings for this in Transport Connection is Grouping "Necessary Objects" and Collection mode is "Collect Automatically".
2) Collect all FICO Master Data along with Texts into a Request. (This includes transfer rules/update rules, InfoSources,Communication/Transfer Structures, Routines, InfoAreas and Application.
Settings for this in Transport Connection is Grouping "In Data Flow Before" and Collection mode is "Collect Automatically".
3) Collect and Transport DSO's, Cubes.
4) Collect and Transport Multi-provider, InfoSets.
My question is with regards to Master Data (step 2):
Can I bundle all of Master Data into one request? My concern is that the request is going to have lot of objects. But, If I decide to split then I have to worry about sequencing the order of Transports. Can somebody Please share your thoughts on this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
bw_newbie

Hi,
Your second request would fail becuase it wont be able to find the targets for the update rules.
I would suggest you the other way round
infocatalogs and infoareas in one request.
put all infoobjects in one request including text.
all ods and cube in one request infact all the data targets can be put in one request
infosouce in one request
update rules in one
all reports in one
and transport in the order mentioned below
1)r/3 transports first,dont forget to replicate the datasoucre
2) Infocatalogs and infoareas
3) infoobjects
4) infosource
5) ODS,cubes,Multiproviders
6) Update rules.
7) Reports
assign points if applicable
Thanks

Transport strategy of BI-BO Objects

How to transport the BI-BO objects across the landscapes? I mean WEBI, DEKI, XCELCIUS, Crystal and all other BO reports
created on BI Queries/Infoproviders.
Can we have BO reports saved along with our regular BEX Queries in BEX folders?
Can we publish BO reports in BI portal?
Plz help in understanding the transport strategy of BI-BO objects!!

If you're using XIR2 you have only one option - Import Wizard tool. If you are on Xi3.1 you have 2 options Import Wizard or LCM (Life Cycle Manager).
Documentation for both available at http://help.sap.com/businessobjects.
Can we have BO reports saved along with our regular BEX Queries in BEX folders?
No
Can we publish BO reports in BI portal?
Yes, if you're using CR reports.

Transport strategy for your transport landscape is inconsistent

Hello everybody,
we had 4 system landscape.
DEV>QAS>TST-->PRD.
we move the request from DDEV >QAS>TST and then forward request from TST to PRD system.
Now, we have delete the system TST from TMS, after deletion it give the warning.
Transport strategy for your transport landscape is inconsistent.
Message No. XT481
Please suggest, what is meaning of this warning and how to correct.
Thanks
Ganesh

You need to do following
1. Logon to domain controller client 000 -->STMS --> Overview System --> Select TST --> SAP System --> Delete
2. Reconfigure STMS DEV>QAS>PRD
3.STMS --> Overview Transport Routes --> Configuration --> Distribute and Activate (To All System)
Note : You should do this from Domain Controller client 000
I assumed you know Step 2. If you dont please let me know i can guide you on that as well

SAP Query Use and Transport Strategy

Anyone wish to share their experience in the use of SAP Query? We generally have an understanding that we don't want to be giving out this tool to end-users in Production. We would like to create queries, and when we wish to give them out we'll attach t-codes to them and roll them out.
However in practice, this is becoming difficult. An example is where in our gold client we create queries and then we would typically transport to our unit test client. But whenever we do an export, it generates a transport request. Before we are done testing we may end up with 10's of transports for a single query?
Anyone have some ideas on a transport strategy for SAP Query? How about it's use in Production? Our landscape for changes are typically DEV Gold -> DEV Test -> QAS -> PRD. We would ideally like our transport strategy for queries to match what we do for everything else.

HI,
Query objects are transported in different ways according to the query area in which they were created.
In order to know which transport options are available, you must first understand how query objects are created.
Standard Area
Query objects are stored in the client-specific table AQLDB. They are not connected to the Change and Transport Organizer.
Global Area
Query objects are stored in the cross-client table AQGDB. They are connected to the Change and Transport Organizer.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/d2/cb467f455611d189710000e8322d00/content.htm
Global area objects can be transported into other systems. Standard area query objects can not only be transported to other clients within their own system, but into all clients of other systems as well. In addition, query objects can be transported from the global query area to the standard query area and back within the same system.Transports are normally performed by the system administrator, not by end-users. For this reason, you need the appropriate authorizations

ChaRM: usage of ChaRM and none-Charm transport strategy

Hi ChaRM-TMS Gurus!
We have the following [SAP system landscape |http://www.file-upload.net/view-1086963/SDN_TMS_Ist_Soll.jpg.html] and would like to use ChaRM approach simultaneously.
What are the minimal requirements concerning transport layers/routes, which settings should be changed?
How much and which transport layer/routes does ChaRM need?
a) 1 any new transport layer/route
b) standard transport layer, transport layer "SAP" and others
Should all the standard transport layer/routes from virtual systems to real QAS and PRD systems or can I start as follows:
1) Leave the current TMS settings unchanged
2) Activate the extended transport control
Result: the current setting will be client specific and all the old transport requests will be moved to client specific transport routes
3) change the transport strategy (from mass transport to single transport)
3) Define new transport layer
4) Define new transport route for SAP objects from DEV to QAS
and assign the transport layer from 3) (client specific)
5) Define new transport route ZXXX from DEV to QAS
and assign the transport layer from 3) (client specific)
6) Define the delivery transport route from QAS to PRD (client specific)
7) activate and distribute the settings
Thank you very much indeed!
Thom

Hi Martin,
Solmaniacs' assumptions are correct. You can have as many source clients as you want.
As long as
- STMS configuration (transport routes, and domain links) are consistent
- SMSY configuration (logical components are declared properly with assigning the right role types to systems/clients)
- Project declaration are done correctly (so that from Solman solar_project_admin you can read the STMS as confiured in the distant STMS domain)
- IMPORTANT: those configuration GO ALONG with each other !! (SMSY should nt contradict STMS for example...)
The tasklist that is generated for each Solman project will be as follow
- Node 1: Header Tasks (commun to all systems)
- Node x: Corresponding to track x declared in Project (each Source System will have his own node with the corresponding track under)
- Node x+1
- Node ...
- Last Node : Tasks for Tasklist closure - checks on scma consistancy and CTS projects closure
So you'll always have n+2 nodes in your tasklist; n beeing the number of declared source (=dev) systems in project
For each action launched from change docuemnts like creation of TR, release of TR or Retrofit (as Solmaniac said) you'll have an additional pop-up that will appears letting you choose the system you want to use for the action
Hope its helpful

Khalil

SAP-XI Transport Strategy

Hello
Can anyone please point me to SAP-XI transport strategy document. e.g what would you transport, what tool would you use etc.
Thanks.

Hi,
We have two options
-- one is File transfer method through which we can export the objects into a file and that can be imported in another.
here we can export individual obeject and SWCv wise,namespace wise also.
-- Another one is CMS
through this option tracks are to be defined from DEV-QA-PROD

Transport strategy for BOE landscape

I am looking for a transport strategy for BOE landscape from security viewpoint. Basically we want to transport crystal reports, webi reports and folders along with security principles (BW roles/users included). Can anybody provide more info on this?
Regards,
Prasad

Yeah...we have LCM (XI 3.1 onwards) and Import Wizard for BOE tranports. But if we use BW roles as principles, transporting reports/folders with Security doesn't give desired results.
For example, if I am transporting a webi report with principle DEV001@RoleA from Dev to QA/PRD, I would get a new group in QA with name DEV001@RoleA instead of QAS001@RoleA. *I am looking for a pointer change here from DEV001 to QAS~001*. I think we have this feature of changing system pointers for Connections/Universes/Crystal Reports in LCM.
I know we need to move crystal reports and publish them again in QAS/PRD but this way we need to assign security for folders. I want to avoid these efforts by doing one time configuration in DEV and moving it to QAS/PRD through LCM. This is more consistent with current SAP Netweaver transport strategy.

Prasad

Mass transport strategy but satellite system is configured for ChaRM

We want that all transports are automatically transported in the development test client.
We have calling a job with program TMS_BCI_START_SERVICE in the satellite system. But this program can only be used for mass transports and does not work when single transports strategy is activated.
Question:
Is there no solution to transport all this transports automatically in development test client via mass transport strategy if satellite system is configured for ChaRM scenario?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Re: Workflow controlled Transport Strategy

Hi friends,
we are using workflow controlled transport strategy in our landscape. So far we are using existing help help.sap.com to configure the same. But we found that it is not enough for completing configuration in perspective of out client requirement. Can anybody help to get the more help on this?
Any help would be highly appreciated.

SAP Note : 313991
Due to the approval of a request in the QAS system, this becomes
active in the import queue of system VDE (status: Request is ready
for import). Refused requests receive the following status:
Request was refused.
o The RSTMS_DIST_APPROVED_REQUESTS program is used to transfer the
requests with the status "Request is ready for import" from the VDE
import queue to the supply system of VDE (that is, the PRD
production system or, if necessary, several production systems and
clients) and then to delete them from the import queue of VDE.
Refused requests (status: Request was refused) are also deleted
from the VDE queue.
You can choose between the following options:
- Transfer all approved requests:
All approved requests from the VDE queue which are before the
end are transfermark (stop mark) red. All requests that have
not yet been processed with the QA procedure remain in the VDE
queue until a decision (approval or refusal) has been made.

Transport strategy for BPC

Hi all,
Is there a transport strategy for BPC. How do we move changes made in the development to the testing to the production environment? How do we transport the changes? Is it done manually or does BPC have a feature that automatically transport the changes? Does BPC keep automatically track of the changes?
Thanks.

I think this OP's message was posted in the wrong forum. In any case, there's a whitepaper on the transports for BPC 7.0NW.

Transport Strategy ERP and DWM

Hi
We are implementing a SAP decentralized WM landscape (DEV,QA & PRD). in a RETAIL environment. We have taken the decision that repository transports between our ERP system and the DWM system will not be automatic (after being severely burned in the past). However now the question has arisen whether customizing transports should be transported between the ERP and DWM system.
As follows :
Should all customizing transports (HR/FI/Retail etc) be transported automatically through to the DWM system.
OR
Should only retail customizing transports be transported automatically to the DWM system and if so, how can we implement this. (Packages assigned to a transport layer with repository objects - how do we do customizing?)
OR
Should customizing transports which are relevant to DWM be done both in the ERP system and the DWM system - ie dual maintenance.
We are trying to implement a strategy that will be robust and simple. Has anyone got any recommendations or advice from systems they have implemented?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks
Leigh

Normally check whether is there any change in R/3 data source when you are transporting the changes in BW system.
So as a practice you need to transport the source system related transport first and then replicate the data source, before moving the transport in BW system. As a practice after the replication you can also activate the data source using the standard program avaialble.
Also you can check the connection between R/3 and BI system before moving the BW related transport which might require the source system should be active in order to check whether the DS is present in R/3 or not. So make sure this point always.
About the DTP's, we are facing this issue in BI7.0 , you need to findout what is causing the issue to deactivate the DTP's.. if there is any change at transformation, then this might can also cause the DTP to go deactivated.
Hope this helps.

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.

CharM questions (mix Transport strategy)

Hi ChaRM-experts!
I plan to map the existing transport landscape into ChaRM scenario of SOLMAN and have the following questions:
1) Is it possible to combine ChaRM-functionality and still use the old transport settings (without ChaRM) for the same system landscape:
DEV --> QAS --> VO1 (Without ChaRM and with virtual system)
DEV:101 --> QAS:101 --> PRD:101 (With SOLMAN ChaRM)
Can e.g. the target group concept help in this situation?
2) Is it possible, after the CharM implementation, to allow the developers create transports in DEV system?
Thank you very much!

ChaRM: Transport strategy

Hi!
We have the following system landscape:
EO1 --> QO2 --> VO2
EO1 --> VO3
VO2 and VO3 are both the virtual systems.
Between EO1 and VO3 and Q02 and VO2 we have a lot of transport routes (SAP, YABK, ZEO1, .., ZIAN).
Now we would like to use ChaRM approach with new client specific transport routes (EO1 --> QO2 --> PO1) as well as leave the old TMS settings unchanged.
The questions we have:
1) Do we need standard transport route u201CSAPu201D for the ChaRM approach?
2) Can we leave the old TMS configuration for old requests, but use ChaRM with new configuration?
Thank you very much!
regards
Thom

Thom,
1) The suggestions I see:
    a. create a Transport Group which contains your VO3 and QAS system and create the necessary transport routes to this group. If you now setup your project for ChaRM and only specify the real systems, SolMan will recognize the correct systems (even though it will give you a full overview of STMS when clicking the button 'Shipment Routes' in the System Landscape of the project - once the Task List is created, you'll see ChaRM only mentiones the systems you've added in the System Landscape). The disadvantage of this is that all Transport Requests you release in your DEV system will be added to the import queue of QAS and VO3. This is of course only a disadvantage if both systems don't need to receive the same changes.
   b. Not 100% sure if this is technically possible. Create separate consolidation routes for VO3 and QAS from DEV. Again when you specify the correct systems in the project, SolMan will use only those.
As far as I know, ChaRM doesn't make a choice based on type of transport route, such as 'SAP'.
2) a. I know 'single transport' is recommended by SAP, but this is not a showstopper for the configuration of ChaRM. ChaRM also works with 'mass transport'.
    b. ChaRM needs to be client-specific, can be that here there is some interference between ChaRM and non-ChaRM.
    c. As ChaRM corrections are all assigned to a Maintenance Cycle and a Maintenance Cycle is based on a CTS project in your DEV satellite system; SolMan is in complete control of your Transport Request. What I mean with this is that if you do automatic import on your systems, only your non-ChaRM changes will be imported. Because by default ChaRM changes all status switches of the CTS project to 'inactive'. From the moment you trigger the import from a Transport Request out of ChaRM in Solution Manager; only then the necessary status switch will be activated and it will be possible to import a change into your satellite system. Periodic import of ChaRM changes is also possible, but has to be scheduled using the correct Task List out of SolMan.
You can look and change these status switches manually in your satellite system with TA SPRO_ADMIN, select the correct project and navigate to tab Transport Request. Here is a button 'CTS Status Switches'.
Hope this helps you a little further!
Good luck and let me know if you have any more questions...

Multiple SAP component transport strategy

Hi all,
I have a SAP landscape with ERP, BW, F&R and DM. Each of these components has 2 instances (dev and quality/test). The transports between these instances are managed with the TMS, aren't they??
But my real problem is that I don't know how to define the transports between components. I have read something about RFCs between ERP and BW instances. Is the same with F&R and DM??
Thank you.

Hi,
Rarely, a customization done for ECC appy to BW or any other system...
Anyhow if you found a case where you need to apply the same changes to all the systems you can release the transport and copy the cofile and data file to the target systems...
1. release the transport (with the customization or whatever changes you want to export)
2. go to \usr\sap\trans\<sid>\cofile and \usr\sap\trans\<sid>\data of the source system and look for the transport... cofile <sid>K<transport number>, data file <sid>R<transport number>.
3. copy the cofile and datafile to the \usr\sap\trans\<sid>\cofile and \usr\sap\trans\<sid>\data of the target system.
4. Then just go to STMS -> Extras -> Other requests ->Add
5. Transport and distribute.

Juan
