Procedure documentationImporting Transport Requests Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

You want to import the transport requests that are part of your change documents.

Prerequisites

  • A task list exists whose status is Active.

  • You have been assigned the SAP_CM_OPERATOR_COMP role in the SAP Solution Manager system.

  • You have been assigned the SAP_CHANGEMAN_OPERATOR role in the managed system.

    Note Note

    If you execute this task from within a change document, you must have been assigned the SAP_CM_DEVELOPER_COMP role in the SAP Solution Manager system.

    End of the note.

Procedure

You can also execute this task from within a change document. In this case, the dialog box for inserting users and texts appears directly without navigation into the task list.

To import transport requests from within a task list, proceed as follows:

  1. Call transaction /TMWFLOW/MAINTINST.

  2. On the relevant tab page for your project and select Display/Change Existing Task Lists for <Projects>.

    The system displays a list of the task lists whose status is Active (default setting). To select or activate task lists with other statuses, see Changing the Status of Task Lists.

  3. Click the task list for which you need to import transport requests.

  4. Under the task node of the target system of your import, select Import Transport Request, and then start the action by clicking Schedule task.

  5. In the dialog box that appears, enter or select the import options for this import.

    Note Note

    The import parameter dialog box is only available for calls from the Schedule Manager. This is the case for urgent changes that are processed manually, and for maintenance cycles. In the case of urgent changes that are processed from within a change document, it is assumed that the import has to be started with the default import settings.

    For maintenance cycles, the box displays the project that you specified and the import target. For urgent changes, the box displays the corresponding requests and the import target.

    End of the note.

  6. On the Execution tab page, specify how you want the transport control program tp to start. (For more information, see Starting an Import.)

  7. On the Options tab page, specify options for the import. (For more information, see Starting an Import: Options.)

  8. After you have made your settings, choose Continue.

    The transport requests are imported and the task list is displayed again.

  9. Check the status of your task. If you need more information about the task, check the application log in the Daily overview of the task list.

Result

In the selected system, the following types of transport requests are imported:

  • In the context of an urgent change:

    • All requests that belong to that urgent change and that have been released

    • Requests that have not already been imported

    • Requests that have been recorded in the import queue of the import target

  • In the context of maintenance projects:

    • All requests that belong to the CTS project connected to that maintenance cycle

    • Requests that have been recorded in the import queue of the import target

      Note Note

      The requests that are imported within an urgent change cycle are flagged as preliminary imports. This means that they will be imported again as part of the regular project import of the corresponding maintenance cycle.

      End of the note.
