Procedure documentationChoosing a Transport Strategy Locate this document in the navigation structure

Prerequisites

  • Your application is closely coupled with the CTS system.

  • You have configured the connection between your application and the CTS server.

Procedure

Caution Caution

You only require these parameters for applications that have a close coupling with the CTS system (such as SAP NetWeaver Portal or SAP NetWeaver PI systems).

End of the caution.

  1. Call transaction STMS.

  2. Choose System Overview.

  3. Select the required system by double-clicking on it.

  4. The screen Display TMS Configuration: System <SID> appears.

  5. Choose the Transport Tool tab page.

  6. Switch to change mode.

  7. Add the following parameters:

    • WBO_GET_REQ_STRATEGY = Determine a transport request when you export an object, for example from an SAP NetWeaver Portal system or an SAP NetWeaver PI system.

      Note Note

      The short text of transport requests that have been created automatically is determined by application-specific values. For more information, see SAP Note 1348932. This only affects the parameter values Smart and Create.

      End of the note.

      The following values are possible:

      • Tagged

        This is configured as the default value in the system.

        It is checked if a preselected request is available. If a preselected request is available then this one is used. If there is not one available then no further action is taken.

      • Smart

        The system automatically creates a transport request (if no request has already been preselected) and flags it as the preselected request.

      • Create

        The system automatically creates a transport request and selects it as the standard request. This also applies if there is a preselected request. This is then no longer preselected.

    • WBO_REL_REQ_STRATEGY = Automatically releases a transport request

      The following values are possible:

      • Auto

        The system automatically releases the transport request as soon as an object is added to the request.

      • Manual

        This is configured as the default value in the system.

        You must release the transport request manually or set the value of the parameter to Auto. In connection with the parameter values Tagged and Smart the parameter WBO_GET_REQ_STRATEGY, you can attach as many objects to a request as you like with the Manual setting.

Example

  • Creating and releasing transport requests manually

    If you use the Change Request Management or Quality Gate Management in SAP Solution Manager or an external Change Management System to manage your transport requests, then you make the following settings in the strategy parameter:

    • WBO_GET_REQ_STRATEGY = Tagged

    • WBO_REL_ REQ_STRATEGY = Manual

    This ensures that the developer of your SAP application cannot create or release any transport requests automatically.

  • Automatic creation and manual release of transport requests

    If you want to execute team development or if multiple objects from different application or different object type are to be transported in a request (for example, a Portal-iView together with a Java dvelopment that is to be displayed in the iView), make the following settings in the strategy parameter:

    • WBO_GET_REQ_STRATEGY = Smart

    • WBO_REL_ REQ_STRATEGY = Manual

      All developers of a team can attach their changes objects to the preselected request. The project leader can release the request centrally when development is complete.

  • Automatic creation and release of transport requests

    If the developers of your SAP application are to be involved as little as possible in the activities in the transport system, make the following settings in the strategy parameters:

    • WBO_GET_REQ_STRATEGY = Create

    • WBO_REL_ REQ_STRATEGY = Auto

      Whenever an SAP NetWeaver Portal developer, for example, exports non-ABAP objects, the system creates a new transport request automatically and then releases it.
