Configuring Transport (SAP Library - Transport of Portal Objects)

Configuring Transport

Use

You configure the transport in Structure link configuration file PCDStartup.Properties.

To configure the transport, all the relevant parameters for the transport of objects must be specified. This includes information about the storage of:

· Import and export files

· Log files

· Temporary files

Note

Within portal administration, you can check and view the configuration information of the PCD. In the administrator role choose System Administration ® Support. The Support Desk is opened. Click on Portal Content Directory in the main area. Click on PCD Configuration in the test and configuration tools. The next screen shows all the parameters currently maintained for the PCD. You can find the settings for the transport in the section Parameters for Transport Application.

Procedure

You can maintain the following configuration parameters:

Parameter	Meaning	Default Values and Changes
Pcd.TransportApplication. ExportRootDir	Storage directory for the export files	Directory is generated automatically based on the entries during portal installation.
Pcd.TransportApplication. ImportRootDir	Storage directory for the import files	Directory is generated automatically based on the entries during portal installation.
Pcd.TransportApplication. TempDir	Storage directory for the temporary files	Directory is generated automatically based on the entries during portal installation.
Pcd.TransportApplication. CleanTempDir	Causes a cleanup for temporary files	Default value is „true“. Do not change this value.
Pcd.TransportApplication.Export. ExcludeSystemObjects	This defines whether or not the objects in the SAP namespace initially delivered by SAP are excluded from the export.	Default value is „true“. Make sure that this value is not changed.
Pcd.TransportApplication.Export. ExcludeObjectTypes	Here you can decide which object types are excluded from the export.	There is no default value. For example you can configure your transport scenario so that PAR files are excluded from the export. See also Packaging of Portal Transport Archives.
Pcd.TransportApplication.Export. ExcludeObjectTypes AfterRuleProcessing	Here too you can decide which object types are excluded from the export. You can also define that dependent objects should also be exported.	There is no default value. For example you can exclude PAR files from the export, but transport the corresponding resource bundles. See also Packaging of Portal Transport Archives.
Pcd.TransportApplication. ProtectedNamespaces	The protected namespaces of the objects initially shipped by SAP that are to be excluded from the export and import are entered here.	The following are entered as default values: com.sap.portal, com.sap.km, com.sap.netweaver. Do not delete these entries.
Pcd.TransportApplication. ProtectedUrlPatterns.Default	Here you find the object paths in the Portal Catalog defined by SAP that are excluded from the export.	The default value is the path to the portal themes: pcd:portal_content/themes/sap_*. This parameter is not intended for your own entries.
Pcd.TransportApplication. ProtectedUrlPatterns.Custom	Here you define the paths in the Portal Catalog that should be excluded from the export.	There is no default value. You enter the object paths to be excluded from the export.
Pcd.TransportApplication. StatusDetailLevel	Defines the degree of detail of the information in the log files. Possible values: ALL, Error and None.	The default value is ALL.
Pcd.TransportApplication. ProcessReportDir	Storage directory for the log files.	Directory is generated automatically based on the entries during portal installation.
Pcd.TransportApplication. ProcessReportCleanupInterval	Here you enter a number that defines the number of days in which the log files should be cleaned up.	The default value is 2.
