Locking/Unlocking TMS for an SAP SystemLocate this document in the navigation structure

Prerequisites

In certain circumstances, you may want to lock an SAP System for TMS accesses. If you have to stop an SAP System for maintenance, for example, communicate this to the other SAP Systems in the transport domain. This prevents unnecessary attempts to access an SAP System that cannot be reached.

Locked SAP Systems are not displayed in the import overview. Display and import functions are not available for SAP Systems that have been locked.
