Procedure documentationSetting TMS Parameters for Central CTS

 

To be able to use central CTS, you must set specific parameters in the Transport Management System (TMS) configuration. Depending on whether the managed system belongs to the same transport domain as the central CTS server or not, you can use the Central CTS Configuration Web UI to set the missing TMS parameters or you must set them in TMS.

The following TMS parameters are relevant for central CTS:

  • MANAGED_SYSTEM: Classifying the system of a cluster as a managed system.

  • OPERATION_MODE: Specifying the operating mode of a managed system to define the level of control that the central CTS server has over this system.

  • NON_ABAP_WBO_CLIENT: Specifying the logon client of Transport Organizer in all non-ABAP source systems and source clusters to make sure that transport requests are created in the correct client.

    Note Note

    The TMS parameter NON_ABAP_WBO_CLIENT is used when you configure non-ABAP systems for CTS transports. You can set this parameter only in TMS. In the Central CTS Configuration Web UI, it is only displayed.

    End of the note.

Prerequisites

You have executed a validation in the Central CTS Configuration Web UI and the system tells you that TMS parameters are invalid.

Procedure

Setting TMS Parameters for Systems in the Same Transport Domain

If the managed system belongs to the same transport domain as the central CTS server you can use the central CTS Configuration Web UI to set the missing TMS parameters.

To do this, proceed as follows:

  1. In the central CTS Configuration Web UI, choose the TMS Parameters invalid link.

  2. Choose Display  <-> Change.

  3. The invalid TMS parameters have a red traffic light icon next to their value.

  4. Select correct values for the invalid TMS parameters. If the value for NON_ABAP_WBO_CLIENT is invalid, proceed as described under Setting TMS Parameters for Systems in a Foreign Transport Domain.

  5. To check the values for completeness and consistency, choose Check.

  6. If no errors are displayed, save your changes.

Setting TMS Parameters for Systems in a Foreign Transport Domain

If the managed system does not belong to the same transport domain as the central CTS server, you can only display the TMS parameters in the Central CTS Configuration Web UI. You cannot change them there. To set the TMS parameters, you must start TMS in the transport domain controller of the managed system.

To do this proceed as follows:

  1. In the central CTS Configuration Web UI, choose See details for the managed system that has invalid TMS parameters.

  2. The dialog box displays a specific message for each invalid or missing TMS parameter. To set the invalid or missing TMS parameters, follow the instructions described in the specific messages. The general procedure is as follows:

    1. Log on to the transport domain controller of the system that you want to classify as a managed system.

    2. Call transaction STMS.

    3. Choose System Overview.

    4. Select the required system by double-clicking it.

      The screen Display TMS Configuration: System <SID> appears.

    5. Choose the tab page Transport Tool and switch to change mode.

    6. Add the parameters for the invalid or missing parameters and assign the appropriate values as described under TMS Parameters for Central CTS.

    7. Save the settings and distribute the configuration.

    8. Repeat the previous steps for all managed systems that have invalid TMS parameters.

Result

You have set the TMS parameters required to configure central CTS. By doing this, you have converted the systems involved into managed systems and defined the level of control that central CTS has for these managed systems.
