Prerequisites

  • Prerequisites for a leading Change and Transport System (CTS) system:

    • Application Server ABAP (AS ABAP) and Application Server Java (AS Java) of SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SPS 14 or higher. We recommend a dual stack installation - you can use the SAP Solution Manager for that.

    • The CTS leading system is configured as the TMS domain controller where the non-ABAP systems with their transport route configuration are maintained centrally.

  • Prerequisites for the tight integration of NWDI with CTS:

    • NWDI Server on SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SPS 14 or higher.

  • Prerequisites for the target systems of CTS transport:

    • Any SAP NetWeaver (AS Java) release can be addressed.

Procedure

Configure the CTS System

The necessary steps are performed in the Transport Management System (TMS).

To configure the CTS system, proceed as follows:

  1. Configure the enhanced CTS components in the AS ABAP transport domain controller to be able to transport non-ABAP objects.

    For more information, see http://help.sap.com/NW70 -> SAP NetWeaver 7.0 including Enhancement Package 1 -> <language> —> SAP NetWeaver Library -> SAP NetWeaver by Key Capability -> Solution Life Cycle Management by Key Capability -> Software Life-Cycle Management -> Software Logistics -> Change and Transport System -> Change and Transport System - Overview (BC-CTS) -> Transporting Non-ABAP Objects in Change and Transport System —> Performing Configuration Steps for Non-ABAP Transports.

  2. Define transport systems.

    1. Create non-ABAP source systems.

    2. Create non-ABAP target systems. For more information, see http://help.sap.com/NW70 -> SAP NetWeaver 7.0 including Enhancement Package 1 -> <language> —> SAP NetWeaver Library -> SAP NetWeaver by Key Capability -> Solution Life Cycle Management by Key Capability -> Software Life-Cycle Management -> Software Logistics -> Change and Transport System -> Change and Transport System - Overview (BC-CTS) -> Transporting Non-ABAP Objects in Change and Transport System —> Performing Configuration Steps for Non-ABAP Transports —> Defining and Configuring Non-ABAP Systems.

  3. Define transport layers and routes.

Configure the AS Java System

For the tight integration of CTS in NWDI, the following configuration has to be done:

  1. Create a new RFC destination for the NWDI server. It must be named sap.com/com.sap.tc.di.CTSserver. For more information about creating the RFC destination, see Creating RFC Destinations.

  2. Configure the CMS track. You must mark the track as Connected to CTS and specify the exact CTS upload system to connect the track to. The TMS non-ABAP source system for that transport route is the SID of the runtime system that is connected as NWDI Development System.

    To do that, open the CMS Web UI and under the Landscape Configurator, choose Track Data. Enable the Connected to CTS checkbox and configure the CTS system to connect to. For more information, see Creating a Development Track.

Performing the Transport - Export

  1. Go to the NWDI Transport Studio and transport the changes through the NWDI track. For more information, see Transports with the NWDI: Transport Studio.

  2. The CTS integration takes place within the Assembly step. For more information, see Creating a Software Component Archive (Assembly).

  3. During assembly, the SCA file is attached to the TMS transport request.

  4. If no automatic release is configured for that TMS source system, release the transport request in the Transport Organizer Web UI (which is opened using the Follow CTS Requestbutton).

Performing the Transport - Import

  1. The transport request is waiting for import in the import queue of the target system.

  2. The import is done in TMS.
