Checking Transport GroupsLocate this document in the navigation structure

Prerequisites

When the transport groups are checked, the system tests whether all SAP Systems within a transport group have the same transport directory. It also checks if SAP Systems in different transport groups access different transport directories.

Procedure

To check the transport groups only:

  1. Call transaction STMS.
  2. Choose . The system overview appears.
  1. Choose Start of the navigation path Goto Next navigation step Transport Groups End of the navigation path in the system overview. The screen Display TMS Configuration: Transport Groups appears.
  2. Choose Start of the navigation path Configuration Next navigation step Check Transport Groups End of the navigation path.

To check the transport directories and the transport groups:

  1. Check the transport directories of all SAP Systems in the transport domain (see: Checking Transport Directories).
  2. Choose Start of the navigation path Goto Next navigation step Transport Groups End of the navigation path.

The check involves creating test files for all SAP Systems in the transport domain. A check is then made on all systems to see which of these test files are readable. The result is compared with the configuration of the transport domain.

Caution

If the check for the transport groups shows that the systems are incorrectly assigned to the groups, you must adapt the TMS configuration (see Changing the Configuration of an SAP System). Then repeat this check.

Remember that incorrectly configured transport groups can damage import queues and transport logs. You must check the consistency of the transport groups after you include new systems in the transport domain.

Result

The test result is output in the form of a matrix. The symbols used mean the following:
