Copying Parameters from TPPARAMLocate this document in the navigation structure

Prerequisites

If you have already performed transports before configuring the TMS, you can copy the configuration for the transport control program from the transport profile TPPARAM to the new transport profile managed by TMS. This can be of use if you have set additional parameters in the transport profile TPPARAM to those necessary for the database connection.

Note

If you use the function Copy TPPARAM, all the parameters are copied into the new transport profile contained in TPPARAM, and that are relevant for a chosen SAP System. Parameters that were defined as global in TPPARAM are also defined as global in the new profile. Parameters only contained in the new configuration remain intact.

Procedure

To copy parameters from the transport profile TPPARAM to the new transport profile:

  1. Log on to the SAP system that functions as the transport domain controller.
  2. Call transaction STMS.
  3. Choose Start of the navigation path Overview Next navigation step Systems End of the navigation path. The system overview appears.
  4. Position the cursor on the SAP System from which you want to copy the parameters out of the transport profile TPPARAM.
  5. Choose Start of the navigation path SAP System Next navigation step Change End of the navigation path. The screen Change TMS Configuration: System <system name> appears.
  6. Choose the Transport Tool tab page.
  7. Choose Start of the navigation path Extras Next navigation step Copy Configuration from TPPARAM End of the navigation path.
  8. Save your entries and distribute the changed configuration.

Caution

After you have copied the parameters from TPPARAM to the transport profile managed by TMS, delete all the parameters for this SAP System from the file TPPARAM. To do this, use a text editor on the operating system level.

Background: If you also use tp on the operating system level, for each call you have to specify the transport profile with which tp should work. If different transport profiles exist for tp (the old TPPARAM and the new transport profile generated by TMS), the result of a tp call can depend on which profile you specified. Therefore, it is safer if one SAP System is described in only one transport profile.

To find information on how to work with tp on the operating system level, and what you should note if the transport profile is managed by TMS, see Transport Control Program tp.

Result

The parameters from the transport profile TPPARAM are copied.
