Configuring with TMS on WindowsLocate this document in the navigation structure

Procedure

To configure TMS on Windows, proceed as follows:

  1. To make your Windows system known in the transport profile, make the following settings:
    1. Log on to the transport domain controller and call transaction STMS. The TMS initial screen appears.
    2. Choose Start of the navigation path Overview Next navigation step Systems End of the navigation path. The system overview is displayed. Choose a system by double-clicking one.
    3. Choose Start of the navigation path Configuration Next navigation step Display/Change End of the navigation path. Click on the Transport Tool tab and choose Start of the navigation path Edit Next navigation step Insert Row End of the navigation path.
    4. Enter the following information on the Transport Tool:

    5. Global

      x

      transdir

      <path to UNIX TransDir>

      wnt

      Example

      Global

      Parameter

      Value

      OpSys

      x

      ABAPNTFMODE

      b

      wnt

      x

      transdir

      \\trans01\trans4

      wnt

       

      A99/r3transpath

      <path>\R3trans.exe

      wnt

       

      A99/sapevtpath

      <path>\sapevt.exe

      wnt

       

      A99/system_pf

      <path>\default.pfl

      wnt

      The parameter ABAPNTFMODE determines the mode for opening the files used by tp and all tools that are called by tp.

    6. Save the configuration by choosing Start of the navigation path Configuration Next navigation step Save End of the navigation path and return to the system overview.
    7. Choose Start of the navigation path Extras Next navigation step Distribute TMS Configuration End of the navigation path.
  3. Include the following entries in the system-specific instance profiles for the SAP systems on Windows:
    1. Set the parameter abap/NTfmode=b.
    2. This parameter sets the default mode for opening a file for the kernel.
    3. Set the parameter DIR_TRANS to the UNIX transport directory.
      Example

      DIR_TRANS=\\trans01\trans4

    4. Set the parameter DIR_EPS_ROOT to a subdirectory of the transport directory for transaction SPAM.

      DIR_EPS_ROOT=\\trans01\trans4\EPS

    5. Stop the relevant SAP system on Windows and then start it again.
  4. You must convert the profiles into binary format for all systems running on Windows that are supposed to use the central transport directory.

    To adjust the Windows profile to the binary format, log on to the relevant SAP system and call transaction RZ10. Choose Start of the navigation path Utilities Next navigation step Import Profiles Next navigation step Of Active Servers End of the navigation path. This saves the profiles in binary format.

Result

TMS is now configured for transport between UNIX and Windows systems.
