Configuration Scenario 

Use

Using configuration scenarios, you can group configuration objects to structure the content of the Integration Directory more clearly.

Objects in the Integration Directory are always defined for a particular combination of key attributes. Unlike design objects, which have software component and namespaces, there are no grouping categories for configuration objects.

You can transport configuration scenarios together with all the configuration objects used. This enables you, for example, to transport all the configuration objects belonging to one configuration scenario from a test environment to a productive environment.

Features

·        Grouping Configuration Objects

·        Transporting Configuration Scenarios

A configuration scenario is always transported together with all the configuration objects grouped within it.

To transport configuration scenarios, define groups of business systems in the System Landscape Directory in which the business systems that have been pre-defined for different areas of use (for example, testing and production operation) are grouped together (see System Landscape Directory in SAP Exchange Infrastructure).

To ensure configuration content can be imported and exported without any problems, in the System Landscape Directory, you must define (prior to import) which business systems correspond to each other in the various business system groups (see Configuring Groups and Transport Targets).

·        Deleting Configuration Scenarios

When you delete a configuration scenario, all the configuration objects grouped within it are not deleted as well. You must delete these separately, if applicable.

A configuration scenario reacts differently to an object in the collaboration profile when it is deleted: if you delete a party, all the services and communication channels that that party uses are deleted.
