Exporting Repository Objects from the Integration Builder 

Function

The procedure described here explains how you export objects from the Integration Repository with the Integration Builder and include them in a CTS transport request. If you do not want to include objects from other tools in the same transport request, set the WBO_REL_REQ_STRATEGY parameter to Auto. The transport request that belongs to the file export is then immediately released after the export from the Integration Builder.

Prerequisites

You can only export activated objects from the Integration Repository.

The prerequisites specified in Transporting Objects also apply here.

Procedure

Exporting Repository Objects Using the Transport Wizard

       1.      Call the Integration Builder of the Integration Repository.

       2.      Choose Tools ® Design Objects to call the transport wizard.

       3.      In the first step, choose the software component version that you want to transport the design objects for, choose the Transport Using CTS mode and specify a name for the transport list.

       4.      In the second step follow the instructions to restrict the object set.

       5.      If no CTS transport request appears in step three, then no standard request has been created for this system yet. To create a request in the Transport Organizer, or to define an existing request as the default, choose Create or Select Request in Transport Organizer (more information: Creating Transport Requests

       6.      To display newly created standard requests, refresh the Wizard view in step three.

       7.      Choose Finish to start the export.

Exporting Change List Repository Objects

...

       1.      Call the Integration Builder of the Integration Repository.

       2.      Switch to the Change List tab page. Check whether you have selected the transportable check box for the filter for change lists. Otherwise your activated change list will not be displayed on the tab page.

       3.      Check whether a standard transport request has been created for your transport in CTS (more information: Creating Transport Requests

       4.      Call the context menu for Release CTS Transport for the change list you want to transport.

       5.      In the Invalid Change List Name dialog box, enter a meaningful name and description for the change list.

During export of multiple change lists in a single transport request, the name of the first change list is used as the description of the transport request. However, if a description already exists for a transport request, it will not be over written.

This dialog appears only if you do not change the default name of the change list while activating an object.

Result

You have included your objects in a transport request for CTS. If the automatic release of requests is not activated for your system (if WBO_REL_REQ_STRATEGY is set to Manual),then you must still release your request in CTS to be able to transport it.
