Choosing a Transport Strategy 

Use

You can influence the behavior of the transport system when you create and release transport requests by configuring the strategy parameters. In this way, you provide optimum support for your chosen transport process (automatic or manual creation and release of requests).

You only require these parameters for applications that have a close coupling with the CTS system (such as SAP NetWeaver Portal systems and SAP NetWeaver PI systems).

Prerequisites

You have configured the connection between your application and the CTS server.

Procedure

...

       1.      Call transaction STMS.

       2.      Choose Overview  ® Systems.

       3.      Select a system.

       4.      The screen Display TMS Configuration: System <SID> appears.

       5.      Choose the Transport Tool tab page.

       6.      Switch to change mode.

       7.      Add the following parameters:

WBO_GET_REQ_STRATEGY
Automatically creates a transport request when you export an object from an SAP NetWeaver Portal system or an SAP NetWeaver PI system.

○       WBO_GET_REQ_STRATEGY
Automatically creates a transport request when you export an object from an SAP NetWeaver Portal system or an SAP NetWeaver PI system.

The following values are possible:

■       Smart
The system creates a transport request (if not already available) and flags it as the standard request.

■       Tagged
This is configured as the default value in the system. You must have created a transport request already in Transport Organizer Web UI and flagged it as the standard request.

○       WBO_REL_REQ_STRATEGY
Automatically releases a transport request in an SAP NetWeaver Portal system or an SAP NetWeaver PI system.

The following values are possible:

■       Auto
The system releases a transport request automatically as soon as an object is added to the request in an SAP NetWeaver Portal system or an SAP NetWeaver PI system.

■       Manual
This is configured as the default value in the system. You must release the transport request manually or set the value of the parameter to Auto.

Example

●      Creating and releasing transport requests manually

If you use SAP Solution Manager or an external change management system for the administration of your transport requests, you must configure the strategy parameters as follows:

○       WBO_GET_REQ_STRATEGY = Tagged

○       WBO_REL_ REQ_STRATEGY = Manual

This ensures that the application does not create or release any transport requests automatically.

●      Automatic creation and release of transport requests

If you want to involve the developers of your SAP NetWeaver Portal or SAP NetWeaver PI application as little as possible in transport system activities, configure the strategy parameters as follows:

○       WBO_GET_REQ_STRATEGY = Smart

○       WBO_REL_ REQ_STRATEGY = Auto

Whenever an SAP NetWeaver Portal developer, for example, exports non-ABAP objects, the system creates a new transport request automatically and then releases it.
