Configuring Virtual SAP SystemsLocate this document in the navigation structure

Prerequisites

You may not want to install all the SAP Systems you have planned for your system landscape at the same time. However, you can use TMS to configure SAP Systems as virtual systems in the transport domain so that you can model the transport routes of your whole system landscape.

Most of the TMS display functions can be used for virtual systems.

Procedure

To configure a virtual system:

  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. Choose Start of the navigation path SAP System  Next navigation step Create Next navigation step Virtual System End of the navigation path.

    The Evaluation: Configure Virtual System dialog box is displayed.

  5. Enter the name and a short description of the SAP System.

    The domain controller is proposed as the communications system.

    Note

    The communications system is required to act as a substitute for accessing the transport directory.

  6. Save your entries and confirm that you want to distribute the configuration change to all real SAP Systems.
