Configuring Source and Target Systems 

Function

Before you can execute transports using CTS, you must configure the source and target system for each transport in the Transport Management System (TMS) configuration.

Prerequisites

CTS maintains all systems of a transport domain in a reference system, the Transport Domain Controller (more information: Transport Management System - Concept).

To be able to execute the following steps, you must already have created the systems involved in SAP NetWeaver PI transports as virtual systems using transaction STMS in the system specified as the Transport Domain Controller (more information: Defining and Configuring Non-ABAP Systems).

Procedure

Configuring the Source System

...

       1.      To be able to transport SAP NetWeaver PI objects using CTS, you must define for each source system which Integration Builder directory export files for CTS transports are to be transferred to. To specify this directory for CTS, assign it in the TMS configuration to the NON_ABAP_WBO_INBOW parameter. The path is <systemdir>/xi/repository_server/export for the ES Repository and <systemdir>/xi/directory_server/export for the Integration Directory. <systemdir> is the system directory from the server installation.

This is the same path as for transports using the file system. The file names of the export files are unique so that there cannot be any conflicts of names. CTS only gets those export files out of the directory where CTS transport has been explicitly chosen as transport mode in the Integration Builder.

       2.      In the source system TMS configuration set the WBO_GET_REQ_STRATEGY and WBO_REL_REQ_STRATEGY parameters that define the behavior of CTS for creating and releasing transport requests.

Configuration of Target Systems

The following steps are only required for systems into which you want to import objects from SAP NetWeaver PI using CTS (consolidation and production systems).

Objects that were created in development systems are usually original objects. Therefore there will not be any imports into the development system.

...

       1.      You must have created a service user in the target system to be able to import objects into an PI system using CTS.

                            a.      Using the PI system transaction SU01, create the service user NWDI_CTSADM.

                            b.      Assign the role SAP_XI_CMS_SERV_USER to the service user on the Roles tab page of the same transaction.

       2.      For the various target systems, you must define the parameters DEPLOY_DATA_SHARE, DEPLOY_WEB_SERVICE and DEPLOY_XI_URL in the TMS configuration in the system that you have set as the CTS Transport Domain Controller. Aside from this you must also define here the PI user including the password that you created in the last step as service user.

Result

You have now configured the outbound and target systems for transporting objects using CTS. Now define the transport routes with the Transport Management System (TMS).
