Plug-In Management Web UI - Distributing CTS Plug-InsLocate this document in the navigation structure

Prerequisites

  • You have performed a validation in the CTS Plug-In Management Web UI and the system tells you that the CTS plug-ins are not up-to-date.

  • The import destination exists for the managed system.

  • The managed systems to which you want to distribute the CTS plug-ins have the required version of the transport tools tp and R3trans.

    For more information, see SAP Note 1665940 Information published on SAP site.

  • The CTS plug-in installation package (software component CTS_PLUG) is not installed in the managed system. If the software component CTS_PLUG is installed you cannot update the CTS Service and CTS Bootstrapper plug-ins individually by distributing them to the managed system. To update these, update the entire software component by importing the relevant Support Packages.

    For more information, see SAP Note 1665940 Information published on SAP site.

  • The user who is used for plug-in distribution exists in the managed system, and, if the import destination uses Trust Relationship, the user has the authorization object S_RFCACL in the managed system.

    For more information, see Plug-In Management Web UI - Authorizations.

Procedure

  1. In the CTS Plug-In Management Web UI, choose the link in the Plug-In Distribution column.

    A dialog box opens where you must confirm that you want to distribute the plug-in to the managed system. On the dialog box, you can display more information about the distribution of CTS plug-ins or the detailed results of the validation on separate dialog boxes.

  2. If the plug-ins cannot be distributed, a message is displayed. Read the long text to find out more about the reasons.
  3. If the plug-ins can be distributed, choose Distribute Plug-Ins.

    The CTS Service plug-in and the CTS Bootstrapper plug-in are distributed to the managed system. If the managed system is a non-ABAP system the plug-ins are distributed to the ABAP communication system of the non-ABAP system.

Results

The transport requests for the CTS Service and CTS Bootstrapper plug-ins were imported in the managed system. The CTS server can now use the functions of the CTS Service plug-in in the managed system.
