Transport Requests 

Use

The SAP Solution Manager contains transport functionality for template projects:

Templates transported for template projects contain the following elements:

·         Project structure (positioned structure items)

·         Assignments of business content made in the Business Blueprint and Realization, for example, BC Sets, transactions, or test cases.

Objects such as BC Sets or CATTs, which you have created in the component systems from the Solution Manager, are not transported with the template. To transport these objects from the component systems, for example to the subsidiaries of a company, proceed as described under Global Rollout with a Template.

Prerequisites

You are in the Project Administration transaction in change mode.

Procedure

You can supervise change requests concerning your project in the project administration transaction. You can access the following functions for the current client on the Transport Request tab:

Activate Change and Transport System (CTS) functionality

Activating the CTS functionality allows you to create change requests. After activation of the CTS functionality, the button text changes to Display CTS Project Data. As soon as the CTS project is completed, the button text changes to Reactivate CTS Functionality.

Assigned CTS Requests

Select this button to go to the an overview of the request in the Transport Organizer. Here you can create orders for a project.

CTS Project Piece List

The project piece list remains unchanged. Once the project is complete, you can export the entire piece list.

CTS Project Status Switch

Choose this button to set the project status switch.

Complete CTS Project…

Select this button to close your project. You can reactivate it later.

Packages for objects

The project structure and its assignments (business content) are assigned to the package you enter here. Any later changes made to the project structure, for example, to the project scope, or the Business Blueprint, are automatically assigned to this package. You are only required to enter the corresponding transport request.

If you don't enter a package on the Transport Request tab, you will be asked to enter a package every time you save.

Note for project assignment

The automatic assignment of transport requests to a project is not supported. You can, however, carry out assignments for documentation purposes. Assigning your project to a transport request ensures that all changes made in the Business Blueprint or during configuration are recorded in the transport request.
Before you can assign your project, you have to activate the CTS functionality.
See the Activate CTS Functionality section above for information on how to activate the CTS functionality.

To assign your project:

...

Call up the request to which the items in your project have been assigned.

Select the request.

Select Request/Task ® Display.

Go to the Properties tab.

Switch to change mode.

Enter the name of your project in the Project field.
The description of the project appears automatically when you save.

You have now established the project assignment.
