Changing the Configuration of an SAP SystemLocate this document in the navigation structure

Prerequisites

Once you have included an SAP System in the transport domain, you can change the following settings on the domain controller at any time:

  • Short description of the transport domain
  • Backup domain controller
  • Short description of the transport group
  • Short description of the SAP system
  • Transportation group
  • Host name and system number for the RFC address
  • Communication system
  • Profile parameter for the transport control program tp
Procedure

To change the configuration of an SAP 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. Position the cursor on the SAP system whose configuration you want to change.
  5. Choose Start of the navigation path SAP System Next navigation step Change End of the navigation path. The screen Change TMS Configuration: System <SID> appears.

    In the field Description in the upper part of the screen, you can change the short text for the SAP System. The other parameters are distributed on three tabs.

    • The tab Management gives you information about the current configuration status.
    • Under the tab Communication, you can change the parameters of the transport domain, the transport group and the RFC connection of the R/3 System.
    • Under the tab Transport Tool, you can change the parameters for the transport control program.
      Note

      The short descriptions of the transport domain, groups, and the SAP Systems are stored for the specific language. If you change a text, you change this text for the language in which you have logged on.

  6. Save your changes and distribute the configuration changes to all SAP Systems in the transport domain (see: Distributing the Transport Domain Configuration).
    Note

    If the host name or the system number of the SAP system serving as the domain controller changes, you have to set the new address of the domain controller on all SAP systems in the transport domain. Avoid these manual actions by configuring a backup controller and activating it before changing the domain controller.
