XI transport method

Hi,
I know there was 3 transport method for XI which is
1) File Transport
2) CMS
3) CTS
Can anyone guide me what is the consideration for implement it on our XI system? Which method is recommended?
Edited by: fcgan on Jan 12, 2009 10:17 AM

hi,
sure I can but ask a detailed question
for example - can we transport all types of PI/XI java objects with CTS+?
but as simple as it gets:
for very small clients - files, as on CTS+ setup is necessary
for all the rest CTS+ as this is the way SAP will go in the future
and this is the ABAP way of transporting objects

FTP Transport Method in Data Services SAP Applications Datastore

Hi,
We have SAP ECC and we are trying to install Rapidmarts for SD and Finance.When we try to run the Rapidmart Job.. We are getting the error
Error opening the file c:\temp\billingblock.daa
We are using FTP transport method as our SAP servers are Unix and DSE server is on Windows. we have an FTP server which is on Linux.
Here are the parameters iam trying to give.
Data Transfer MEthod : FTP
Working Directory on SAP Server : /DEV/Test/                   -- Directory on FTP server on Linux
Local Directory                                : C:\temp

Hi Vinod,
Did you find a way to make it work ?
We have the same issue here...
Server #1 - Unix ECC
Server #2 - FTP Server
Server #3 - DataService server. (WINDOWS)
The .dat file are created on ECC server in the working directory, and a third party tool detect that directory content change and start upload the file to the FTP server.
The problem is when ECC server is done creating the .dat, I think it send the answer to DataService that the job is done. Then DS try to go to the FTP but the file is not there yet...
Can ECC do the FTP upload and then send the command to DS tha the job is done ?
Best regards,
David

Dashboards - Transport methods

Hello
We have imported the Best Practice Dashboards and Crystal reports using our ECC development system as the datasource.
Does anyone have a method or approach to transporting these into QAS and Production without the need to individually map each one to the relavent source system.
Kind regards
Elaine

Hi
1) Import All is recommended & is supposed to be faster
1223360 - Composite SAP Note: Performance optimization during import
c) Use the "import all" strategy wherever possible.
If you can use organizational measures to ensure that the sequence of transport requests in the queue is correct, you should ideally process it with the "import all" strategy. Even if you are still working with individual imports in the Q system, it may be an option for subsequent systems.
1008058 - Performance of individual imports
The best solution is to change the TMS import strategy to the "import all strategy".
Import all is supposed to execute the import in a way that avoid sequence problems (it is supposed to process every import steps for all the orders avoiding dependency conflict).
2) Import of multiple orders selected in the import queue (that is not an import all but a multiple single imports) will be performed in the order of the request in the queue (oldest request first) this can lead to dependency problems if the order in the import queue is not good (and from my experience it is very often the case, as it is rare that developer / consultants synchronize themself to release order in an appropriate sequence).

Error during transport: Method is not declared + Component missing

HI
I got 2 errors when I transport:
Error 1:

1)
When I go to Class Builder (SE24), and make a syntax check for ZCL_ZGW_VH_ORDER_DETAI_DPC_EXT, I got the error:
Class ZCL_ZGW_VH_ORDER_DETAI_DPC_EXT,Protected section

"ZCL_ZGW_VH_ORDER_DETAI_DPC_EXT". -
The code looks like this
protected section.
methods DETSET_GET_ENTITY
    redefinition .
2)
If I go to include ZCL_ZGW_VH_ORDER_DE_01_DPC====CM006 (in SE38), I am navigated to method: DETSET_GET_ENTITYSET (That was the missing method in error 1). When I do a syntax check, I got the error message:
Class ZCL_ZGW_VH_ORDER_DE_01_DPC,Method DETSET_GET_ENTITYSET

Then I double click at ls_gw_et_details-zz_matr_lev_dato, and got the data statement: DATA ls_gw_et_details LIKE LINE OF et_entityset.
When I double click at et_entityset, I see that the et_enityset is type ZCL_ZGW_VH_ORDER_DE_01_MPC=>TT_ORDDET. Now I double click at TT_ORDDET I got the public section, where I can see that ZZ_MATR_LEV_DATO is already specified.

     ZZ_KSTROM_DATO type D,
     ZZ_MATR_LEV_DATO type D,
end of TS_ORDDET. .

Anyone who will help me?

Hi Ron Sargeant,
I'm having a kind of similar issue. I have 3 entities, they were already mapped to theirs respective RFC. In the RFC, a couple of fields changed their name so the mapping got lost. I did again the mapping and there was no errors on 2 of the 3 entities. For other reasons, I had to delete the third entitiy, I deleted it and created it again and there was no problems, I do the mapping and everything was apparently fine, when I tried to "Generate Runtime Objects" it throws me an error with the next message: "Failed to create data provider class". If I try to Generate the service again, it throws me another error message: "The class ZCL_xxx_xx_xxxxxx_DPC is locked. Process canceled". I'm sure I've not edited or deleted the DPC class. If I try to access the DPC class from the tx SE24 it tells me that the object it's not created, and the class still appears in the list of Runtime Artifacts in tx SEGW.
I'd like to know if you've got any idea of what may happen, or I'd also like to be sure that if I delete the DPC class and the DPC_EXT class, it will be regenerated again by the Service Builder.
Best regards,
Ana Velásquez

Intermittent FTP transport method failure

I am receiving an intermittent failure on the R/3 DataFLow transport using FTP to a Linux job server. The file is terminated prematurely, and the job then fails. When re-executing the job for the same time interval (assuming that the same data is in the transport file), the job runs successfully.
What are the switches on the FTP request initiated by the job server?
Could this be due to a FTP server setting on the SAP host?
Could concurrent parallel FTP requests for transport files be causing this (the job runs DF's in parallel)?
Thanks for any response... -rs-

SAP "Z" Script Transport from DEV -- TO-- QTY Server

Experts....
We have created a Z SAP Script. in DEVELOPMENT CLIENT : 100
We have successfully transported the changes from DEVELOPMENT CLIENT to UNIT TESTING CLIENT 120 in the same system thru SCC1.
UNIT TESTING RESULTS are OK, and our DEVELOPER has given a request to import into production.
But we imported the request, But changes are not reflecting in QUALITY.
I found below thread but i failed to understand...the last steps...
Can any one please help in this regard.
SAP Script transport issue
Rgds

Finally.....We could able to close this....
Weunderstood....to do inital fill in target client we do it from "000" clinet to "XXX" target clinet
once it is available ..the rest all goes with CLASSIC TRANSPORT APPROACH.
Not sure why the inital Transport request with changed did nor worked.
With the help of ABAP Expert...we just reactivated the in SE71 and added into request
imported the request into Quality & Worked..
When the inital fill is completed for SAP Standard ,
the rest of changes to is managed thru SAP Classic Transport Method.
For "Z" script..even no where connected with "000" client.
As we fixed with above assumptions...we conclude as above....
i request any expert to correct us if our assumptions in wrong direction.

Transport to different location

Hi All,
I been go through standard KM Content transport method and ICE protocol transport. My requirement is to transport KM content (basically folders and docs) from Dev to Prod server but in a different location. For example, in Dev, the content i want to transport is from:
/my_stuff/
But after i saved the achieve file, i want to transport to a different location in Prod, e.g.
/my_stuff_at_dev/
But both standard KM transport method and ICE will replace/create achieve files from one server to the same location of the other server. So is that possible to transport to different location in the target server?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Raghu,
Thanks for your answer.
Is that mean i need to, say in Prod server:
1), create a temporary repository in KM
2), cut/paste the original my_stuff folder and its content to the temp repository
3), transport folder my_stuff from Dev to Prod
4), rename it to my_stuff_at_dev
5), cut and paste my_stuff_at_dev to the temp repository
6), move Prod's original my_stuff folder from the new repository back to its original position
Am i right for these steps?
Thanks!

How to Transport Java Classes used in Mapping?

Hi XI experts,
Within the development of one message mapping, some external java classes are imported and used in my UDF(user defined function). My question is: how will these external java classes be transported to the QA/PRD system? If I choose to use the file system transport method, do I have to manually find these jar files and transport them separately?
Any comments or suggestions are highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Luis

Hi Luis,
Normally Mapping programs and External Jars are used in XI using Imported Archive. So this Imported archive once activated will become part of your SWCV and can be transported automatically with the SWCV.
You dont have to worry about transporting it seperately, it will be avilable once you transport your SWCV using File system transport.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Ananth

How can I initiate a transport of Standard Text over to another client

HI,
I need to re-create all the customized standard text in our new ECC6.0 box. Afte creation, I want to transport it to the QA for testing and eventually to the new ECC 6.0 production.
While creating the text, it does not trigger any transport request.
How can I initiate the Transport request?
I had explored and found that it is also possible to upload to the destination. I would prefer the Transport method.
Can someone advice?
Thanks
Thanks

The program name is RSTXTRAN. run from SE38
detailed documentation is here.
Symptom
This is a brief guide to RSTXTRAN
More Terms
RSTXTRAN, Transport of SAPscript Texts, Standard Texts
Cause and Prerequisites
Solution
Basic Background
You want to transport SAPscript Texts from a source system to the target
system. You can do it in different ways. If you want to copy texts within a
system from one client to the other you can execute the report RSTXTCPY. In
other cases, i.e. transporting the texts between the different systems, you
can use the report RSTXTRAN. This report (RSTXTRAN) itself does not perform
any transporting but is used to prepare a Transport Task (TT). Having
prepared the TT with RSTXTRAN you have then to release it and the
corresponding Transport Request (TR) in a normal way (e.g. with an
assistance of Customizing Organizer - se10).
Please note the Type of Transport Requests (WBO or Customizing) depends on
the system settings.
Working with RSTXTRAN
1. Execute the report RSTXTRAN (e.g. within the transaction se38)
2. On the selection screen appeared you may specify:
2.1. Name of the Transport Task (TT). Make sure you specify the
Transport TASK number, NOT the Transport REQUEST ! You may leave this
field empty if you did not create to this moment the appropriate TT.
Later you will be able to create it within the report.
2.2. Text Key. This composite key consists of four fields: Object,
Name, Id and Language. You may specify these fields also generic
(caution: until Rel.4.6A you have to specify \'*\' if you need a generic
selection; leaving a field empty will cause a search for the blank
field that usually returns no results!). This key serves as
preliminary search restriction only and does NOT mean all the texts
which satisfied the specified key must be included into TT.
3. Having specified some fields on the selection screen you can go
further with \'Execute\'(F8).
4. On the screen appeared you will see the list of texts that satisfy the
specified restrictions. By default all the texts are selected for
including in the TT. You can deselect all the texts or select all of
them again using the function \'deselect all\' or \'select all\'
respectfully. Certainly you may select the texts individually as well.
In order to proceed you have to use function code \'continue\' clicking
on the icon \'OK\' or pressing the button \'ENTER\'.
5. At this stage you get another list of texts that already exactly
defines the list of texts to be included in a Transport Task. You
cannot change this list any more. If you want to change something (add
new texts or exclude any of them) you have to go one step back (F3)
and update your selection. You can now include this list to the TT by
pressing the button in the toolbar \'Transfer texts to correction
request\' and confirming the action.
6. If you have left the field \'Name of Correction\' empty on the first
selection screen you will then be asked to provide the Transport
Request number. You can select it from already existed ones or create
a new one. However if you specify anything(!) in the field \'Name of
correction\' on the first selection screen and the specified TT does
NOT exist (generic input is not allowed there) you will get an error
message \'Request/Task xxx does not exist\' (TR 806). In that case
please go to the first screen and fill out this field correctly, or
leave it completely empty. Then repeat the selection again.
7. When you have performed all the steps properly you get a message the
selected texts were included into TT. Now you can leave the report and
release the appropriate Transport Task/Request in Customizing
Organizer (se10).

Theme Transport

Hey
I've been working on a Look and Feel project for the past few weeks , and my theme is nearly done (just missing some minor changes). we are now tryng to transport the theme to other portal.
we have some errors mainly on the following areas:
   - tables css seem to be wrong because the portal creates in the select colum field a strange effect not present
   - all custom images seem to be gone ( eg tray background images ..)
   - We also have one javascript error that we cant understand in the theme editor ( " A script is making your website slow"
The theme is working really good in the other portal so we could really use some help if anyone have any ideias.
Edited by: Phatinox on May 10, 2011 6:39 PM

Hey , thanks for your help

Transports in PI System

Hello All,
Can you please suggest me the options for Client and Transports in PI system.
Basically we are planning just one client in PI system in all landscapes (Dev-TEST-QAS-PROD).
Does PI need some kind of communication or Data from ERP ,CRM ,BI system??
What about the Java Objects or XI object which are required to be transported??
Found something like manual transports and CMS.
We have no plans for NWDI??
Pls suggest how we should approach this!!
Regards
Ajay

Hi
The design Objects are transported one system to other system using file transport method
Choose export the Design Objects from the tools menu.
Choose the source (The Software Component Version)
Mode can be "Transport using File System"
Check "Download File to Client"
Then Select the objects for example "All objects of a Software Component Version"
Then is would start exporting to the location you specifiy.
After the export is over, you can import this into the target TEST, QA, PRD by using tools-> import Design objects.
Note:
Connection to ECC is not necessary duting transport. However after transaport, for testing the connection should be established.
In SLD, technical systems and business systems should be created.
In ID, objects should point to exact system for which testing is needed. All the ID objects should be manually created like Sender Agreement, Receiver Agreement, Receiver Determiantion, Interface Determination.
The other option is CTS+

Monika

Reg: XI_CMS Transports. I need this forum reply very urgent. Please help me

Hi! Gurus,
     This is Amar Srinivas Eli.I am workig on Production Support project. Herehave one doubt regarding CMS Servers
Actually according to my knowledge XI Content aca be transfered from DEV>QA>PROD XI servers using CMS transports right?
But for this Actually one CMS Server is enogh right? that means here XI DEV Server is X42
                      QA                X44
                      PROD           X46
For cms server link is [http://sapr3001.geips.ge.com:54200/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/tcSLCMS~WebUI/Cms]
but client is asking why we a re not able to access this
http://sapr3001.geips.ge.com_:54400_/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/tcSLCMS~WebUI/Cms for transporting XI content
I think he is thinking that like XI portals for CMS also there will be 3 individual cms links are there right?
But is it wrong or my argument is righ? at which my arguement is only one CMS Sever is enough that means one link is enough right?
NOTE::
Please provide exact CMS transport link procedure other that the linnk contaning "How To Transport XI Content Using CMS
Version 1.00 October 2005"?
here in this only one procedure is there I want an exact procedure of how to transfer SLD systems means business and logcal and software components from all DEV>QA>PROD?

XI Transport

Hi guys,
I am having Dev XI bow on WINDOWS and QA on AIX . I am following standard file system method for export . when I transaport XI IR/ID objects from DEV using standard file system method , those object's are not visible in the IR/ID of QA system .
But the transport method works fine for Dev system present on windows .
Does transport from Windows to AIX require any more considerations , any help very much appreciated.

Keith

Keith,

Normally, these are the folders in which the TPZ files to be imported are to be placed. Can you check if this is what has been done.
Contact your BASIS team to find out why the files are not being shown. Think it is because the folder is incorrect.
