Transports and gateway

What is the relation between transports and gateway? We had an issue with STMS today. The import queue wont show up and the process would hang forever. redistributing TMS also didnt work. but when we killed the gateway process(unix level) on some systems it worked.
I dont understand the relation though.
Can someone help.
Thanks

Hi Cyrus,
A transport domain consists of all the SAP systems that
have certain same system configuration settings.
Now there exists a reference configuration on the
transport domain controller, which is one SAP system with
all the other systems in the domain taking copies of this
reference configuration. Each time change is made in this
reference configuration, it has to be distributed to all
the other SAP systems in the domain, in the form of transports.
A SAP Gateway acts as a bridge between the SAP system and
external program/system, useful for data communication.
Hence we can conclude that for distribution of the
reference configuration from the controller to other SAP
systems, we need a SAP Gateway for communicating between
the systems. That should be the relation between gateway and transport.

How to use the Variants in SAP Transportation and what is its use ?

Hi experts,
How to use the Variants in SAP Transportation and what is its use & How to create a variant in SAP ?
Can anybody answer this ?

Shakti

Hi,
If you are asking about "slection vairants" in SPRO settings of "shipment cost document" then
When it is activated,
each user can have his own slecetion and list criteria for
1. List shippment costs:calculation
2. List shippment costs: settlement
This can be directly saved from VI01 screen by the user.
from environment> lists
This is user specific only.

BAPI for updating Maintain Duration in Transportation and Delivery scheduling

Hi all,
Iam looking for a BAPI to update the Duration Times in Transportation and Delivery scheduling. I reluctant to use recording on SM30 Table maintenance T code and use it in LSMW. Is there a BAPI or Standard i/p Program to load these details. I have more than 200000 records to input.
A list of all BAPI's in Transportation Management module would be great as well.
Regards,
Avi

Hi,
@praveen: I tried the solution provided by you and it worked for me in this context. But it seems this BADI gets triggered every time the delivery is getting saved. So for my test purposes, I'm triggering this BADI in a program, but in actual scenario, the BADI would be called on every sy-ucomm = 'SICH_T' i.e. SAVE. hence, I can't separate my piece of code using this condition.
I'm trying to call my FM(update module in collective run mode) inside this BADI in backgrnd task as a separate unit but this doesn't seem to work.
Any more suggestions?
Thanks

RDS and Gateway issues: Cannot get remoteapps to run without opening port 3389 on firewall

I am testing the setup of a small RDweb server to host QuickBooks for some remote sales users (4 users). For the most part, I have everything installed on one virtual server (using 2012r2 "Quick Start" session host deployment with the additional
Licensing and Gateway server roles added to the same server).
Everything works excellent with one exception. External clients cannot launch published apps without having port 3389 open on the firewall, even with the gateway role installed and the 'Deployment Properties' set to use the gateway. They can properly connect
to the RDweb site and view the published apps. The only way it works is open the firewall port (at which time I can disable the gateway or leave it configured and it works either way). Internally, everything works accordingly. I have followed the steps outlined
on many sites and have combed though the forum here to no avail.
Error received (summarized but is a well documented error):
remote desktop can't connect to the remote computer: 1- Your user account is not listed (it actually is) or 2- You might have specified the remote computer in NetBios format . . etc.
This is an existing SBS 2011 environment with additional virtual servers setup to host QuickBooks as outlined below:
Current setup:
Used Quick Start to install Remote Desktop Services in hosted sessions mode
Installed the additional roles for Licensing and Gateway server on same server
Configured wild card public certificates on all four services (Connection Broker(2), Web Access and Gateway)
Configured internal DNS to properly lookup our external FQDN of this server (ex. quickbooks.contoso.com points to quickbooks.contoso.local
One thing I noticed (just now) when I launch a published app and the firewall has port 3389 closed, a dialog box pops up directly after launching the app that warns about running a RemoteApp program and mentions the Remote Computer and the Gateway Server
as both the same (which it is); however, I would have assumed one would have listed the internal server's name while, instead, both are listed as the external FQDN. Either way, internal DNS should still allow it to properly route . . no? I don't know . . I'm
sure I am just missing something in a routing configurations somewhere. The gateway service is not properly looking up the RDweb service and then seeming not routing the encapsulated RDP session through HTTPS. . .. is my guess . .
I was reading about the "set published name" commandlet; however, I am not experiencing a certificate name mismatch; however, the certificate name does show up as *.contoso.com versus the actual name. I may just be grasping as straws now . . :)

Ok, while I was in the server and looking over the BPA scans: "The Remote Desktop Gateway (RD Gateway) server Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate may not have a valid certificate subject name." This may be due to it showing up as *.companyname.com
versus quickbooks.companyname.com. Anyhow. .. on to the list of actions above:
Changed RD RAP from "Select Active Directory" group to "Allow any network resource" and tested with port 3389 closed on firewall:
Worked. Initially it did not as I had used a custom shortcut created from earlier; however, after logging into the RDweb site again, the application loaded fine now (after the RD RAP change)
No error message appeared; however, I did notice that for a split second, the word Error did appear in the browser's tab title, but only very shortly. The app launch does take a bit longer too now (about 10-15 seconds, up from about 4 seconds with the port
open). This, I could care less about so long as we are properly forwarding the traffic through the gateway.
As for log entries, I had spend quite a bit of time in there and only had minor issues with loading user profile setting taking too long and policy settings preventing the redirection of USB devices. Looking again, no issues still. Just a bunch of informational
entries where I would connect before (and disconnect) but only with the port on the firewall open; otherwise, there was not an entry corrolating to when I would receive an error before. Now though, I am connecting after the RD RAP change and logs are showing
connections even with the port closed. These are in "operational", the "admin" log only shows the update to the RD RAP configuration.
Yes, the LAN's DNS server does relay the lookup information for my public FQDN as the local LAN address. No need for a local host record.
I have now added a new rule in our firewall to allow and forward UDP port 3391 traffic to the internal server hosting remote services
Thank you very much for your assistance on this matter. The RD RAP rule was default built during the creation of this services. Why is the resource not cross-referencing AD security groups? I could have sworn I created a group for that . . .

What is a transport and how to configure it?

Hello,
I am using NW 04 Patch 11.
When users go to home->work there is a calander there.
The calander is not active and there is a message there:
"No transport has been configured for the calendar".
Can someone please explain me how do I get this calander to work, how do I configure a transport and is it possible to connect this calander to the user's exchange calander?
Roy

Hi Roy,
@Lars: sorry, but this has nothing to do with Portal Transport Management, it's about transporting data from
the Exchange server to the portal.
@Roy: yes, it should be possible to connect this to the users Exchange calendar. This calendar is part of the
Microsoft Exchange Connectivity Architecture. You can find a detailed explanation in the NetWeaver
documentation under the topic Collaboration --> Groupware ...

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

Dhcp: default gateway not added if ip and gateway in different subnets

Hi! Help needed with Arch's DHCP client. (dhcpcd)
Assume that ISP leased ip 78.37.180.62/24 and gateway 78.37.0.1
On my home router when you plug cable, routing table is like this:
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
78.37.0.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0
78.37.180.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 202 0 0 eth0
0.0.0.0 78.37.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 202 0 0 eth0
But on Arch it's much tinyer:
78.37.180.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 202 0 0 eth0
And no internet for me.
I've read that before adding a gateway you need to add a route to that gateway or you get an error: SIOCADDRT: No such process.
I believe this very error is what Arch's dhcp cliet gets when it tries to add the gateway.
Funny thing is if you manually add the route to the gateway, the gateway is auto-added in 5-10 sec.
# route add 78.37.0.1/32 dev eth0
# route -n

Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
78.37.0.1 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0

# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
78.37.0.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0

0.0.0.0 78.37.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 202 0 0 eth0
Where to dig? Are the routes added by some script that can be modified?
Last edited by leniviy (2009-05-23 20:22:52)

also, until correct route is added, someone keeps logging to daemon.log:

Difference Between Transport and message protocols in XI

Hi,
Can u please explain with some example , Difference Between Transport and message protocols in XI.
thanks
dhanush

Hi dhanush,
This two can have different attributes which were assigned in the adapter metadata. Please see this help for some info on this:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/79/e462405c910272e10000000a155106/content.htm
Go to SAP BASIS 6.40 or 7.00 software compoenent and open namespace http://sap.com/xi/XI/System. Go to Adapter objects and open Adapter metadata. Then open any adapter. Here you can see all the properties of your adapter which support.
Transport protocol gives information about outside of message details, kind of system, security details.
A transport protocol is a network protocol that has the capability of transferring some payload from one node to another, thus providing some level of transparency from the underlying network.
Transport protocols are used as a mechanism to move payloads around a network. Typically, a payload will have a transport binding associated with it. For example, SOAP (acting as a payload) has a predetermined binding for HTTP (a transport protocol).
Some common transport protocols include: HTTP, HTTP-R, SMTP and BEEP.
Message protocol gives you an idea of message type XI payload

Transport and Change Management

Hello,
We need to modify our MDM structure (add fields and tables). We would like to avoid unloading the repository. Can we do that in our test environment and move to Production only the structure while keeping the data in Prod.
What is the Transport and Change Management patch? Is this what we need?
Thanks for your help!

Hello,
This is not possible, as there is no support for Transport and Change management. You will always need some down-time in production. But there are some strategies to reduce the down-time.
(1) You could use the Java ADMIN API to create a batch-script that performs the required repository modifications. Once you validate it works, unload your repository, run your program and load the repository again.
(2) Create a "slave" repository and re-direct your production users to that repository. Unload your production repository and make all changes. Once done, reload that repository and switch back. Remember that this will only help to keep a "look-up" only version of the production repository...

Manual Transport and Maintain in Client Entries in Table

Hello,
I am trying to figure out how I can maintain table entries in client and have the option to manually transport entries from our development system. Can this be done? If so, what settings are required.
Regards, Dean.

Hi Dean ,
PLease proceed as below :
To add the contents in the TR, we have to double click on the respective TR, then another screen appears where we need to key in the details as follows:
u2022     Program Id u2013 R3TR
u2022     Object Type u2013 TABU
u2022     Object Name u2013 The required table name which should be transported, and press enter. This will allow transporting only the structure of the table but not its contents.
In case the contents are also to be transported, we should click on the key field icon and add the key fields of that table which will transport the particular record.
Hope its help you

Gateway host and gateway service query

Hi Friends,
 Happy new year all.
 Im working on sap-siebel integration,in rfc(sm59) destinations -TCP/IP connections ....
 I need to give Program and gateway options in sap system.plz let me know where can i find the gateway host and program for this integration.
 All inputs will get reward points.
Regards,
Lavanya.

Hi Lavanya,
If you are planning to use the TCP/IP destination on the SAP system in Register mode, then a siebel application has to register at the sap gateway using the Program ID given in the TCP/IP destination on the SAP system.
In the TCP/IP destination the gateway options should contain the gateway host of the sap system and the gateway service. usually the gateway host is the message server itself and the gateway service is "sapgwXX", where XX is the <system_number>.
Thanks,
Renjith.
