Procedure documentationDefining Import Targets

 

After you have configured transport routes for the system clusters, you must define how the individual transport requests are to be transported along these transport routes. To do this you must define the import targets for the transport requests.

Prerequisites

You have defined the transport routes for the individual systems that belong to the cluster.

Procedure

  1. Start Transport Management System (transaction STMS) in the central CTS server.

  2. Choose Transport Routes.

  3. Switch to change mode using Display <-> Change.

  4. Double-click to select the target cluster for which you want to define import targets.

  5. Choose the Import Targets tab.

  6. In the Request Source column, enter the system from which the transport requests are to be exported (source system for transport requests). This is always the development system, also if you have a three-system track (DEV, TST, PRD) and you are defining import targets for the production cluster.

  7. In the Source Client column, only enter a client if you use extended transport control and if you want to make sure that the developments of a specific client in the source system reach a specific client in the target system. In all other situations, especially for non-ABAP systems, do not enter any client. Leave the field empty.

  8. In the Target System column, enter the system into which the transport requests are to be imported (target system for transport requests).

  9. In the Target Client column, only enter a client if you use extended transport control and if you want to make sure that the developments of a specific client in the source system reach a specific client in the target system. In all other situations, especially for non-ABAP systems, do not enter any client. Leave the field empty.

  10. Choose Continue.

    Ensure that the transport route for the import target runs along a cluster transport route that is already defined. The system does not check your entries.

  11. Repeat these steps for all systems that belong to target clusters in your system landscape. If you develop in multiple clients of an ABAP system, repeat these steps for all clients in which you want to execute transports.

Result

You have defined the import targets for the systems that are contained in clusters. If you have performed all configuration steps for central CTS you can use it with Change Request Management or Quality Gate Management.
