Configuring the Transport DomainLocate this document in the navigation structure

Prerequisites

You need role SAP_BC_TRANSPORT_ADMINISTRATOR to execute the configuration and maintenance of the transport domain. For more information, see Transport Administrator.

Process Flow

First, you must decide which SAP System you want to configure as the transport domain controller.

You can only carry out all the activities relevant to the entire transport domain, such as configuring transport routes or configuring RFC connections, in the domain controller. We therefore recommend configuring the transport domain controller in an SAP System with the following attributes:

  • High availability
  • High security precautions
  • Highest possible release

We recommend configuring the transport domain controller on a quality assurance system or a productive system (if no quality assurance system is available).

Note

The resulting system load is low for the SAP System configured as the transport domain controller of a transport domain. Only if the TMS configuration is changed or if there is an error does the load on the domain controller increase for a short period.

When you have decided which system is to function as the transport domain controller and have configured it accordingly, you can include all additional systems in the transport domain.
