Procedure documentationDeactivating CTS Status Switches

 

Once you have created a change cycle for a managed landscape, a CTS project is created automatically for each of the development systems and clients that act as source systems in the landscape. By default, the CTS status switches are closed. This means that the tools of the Change and Transport System cannot be used to create, release, or import transport requests. For troubleshooting purposes, however, system administrators are allowed to deactivate these switches. You should only open a switch in the following cases:

  • You want to perform a transport action directly in the transport management system, for example, schedule an import in the transport management system.

  • The SAP Solution Manager system is not available and you would like to perform a transport action.

Note Note

If the SAP Solution Manager system is not available, go to transaction SE01 and enter any transport request. Choose Start of the navigation path Goto Next navigation step Edit Project Next navigation step Project Status Switch End of the navigation path and open the switch.

For change cycles that have been enabled for central CTS, the import status switches no longer control imports. The imports are locked on central CTS level. In case of an emergency (for example, if the SAP Solution Manager system is not available), perform the steps as described under Performing Imports in System Clusters.
