Configuring the CTS Deploy Web Service 

Use

The CTS Deploy Web service connects the ABAP transport tools to the deployment tools in the non-ABAP applications.

Prerequisites

For what to do to run imports of non-ABAP objects, read the information under Integration in Non-ABAP Transports in Change and Transport System.

This deployment Web service has been part of SAP NetWeaver 7.0 since Support Package Stack 12.

Information about using the CTS Deploy Web service in another SAP NetWeaver system is available in SAP Note 1003674.

Use

The following steps describe how to configure the CTS Deploy Web service, using a dual-stack system as an example:

Checking the CTS Deploy Web Service

...

       1.      In SAP NetWeaver Application Server Java, open the CTS server.

       2.      In your Web browser, enter the following URL:

http://<host:port>

       3.      Open Web Service Navigator.

The DeployProxy Web service is in the list of deployment Web services.

Configuring the HTTP Connection

...

       1.      Call transaction SM59.

       2.      Create a new HTTP connection called CTSDEPLOY.

       3.      Choose the Technical Settings tab page.

                            a.      Enter the name of the target host, the service number (5<SAP system number>00), and the path prefix /DeployProxy/default?style=document. Confirm by choosing Enter.

                            b.      If you encounter warnings about invalid query strings or missing documentation, ignore them by choosing Enter.

If you have created the new HTTP connection successfully, the status text in the test results is set to OK.

Setting a Timeout for the Deployment

Use
