You want to transport your software changes to the consolidation system without having to transport them automatically to other systems in your transport track. The objects are transported with the version they have in the current SAP system. The original location of the objects remains unchanged.
A task list exists with the status Active
.
The tasks associated with the transport request have been released.
You have been assigned the SAP_CM_DEVELOPER_COMP
role in the SAP Solution Manager system.
Note
If you want to create transports of copies from the administration cockpit, you must have the SAP_CHANGEMAN_OPERATOR
role in the managed system.
To create a transport of copies from within a change document (normal change), you have the following options:
On the Transport Management
assignment block, select a transport request and choose New Transport of Copies
.
When the developer sets the normal change to status “To be tested”, the transports of copies for the existing transport requests are created and exported automatically.
To create a transport of copies from within a task list, proceed as follows:
In the administration cockpit, choose Task Lists
.
Choose the relevant change cycle.
Click the task list for which you need to create a transport of copies and select the track.
Under the task node of the development system, select Create Transport of Copies
and start the action by choosing Execute task
.
In the dialog box that appears, select the original transport requests for which you want to create transports of copies.
Note
All requests that are assigned to the CTS project connected to the cycle are displayed.
After the transports of copies have been created, the continual cycle task list is displayed again.
Check the status of your task. If you need more information about the task, check the application log in the Daily overview
of the task list.
For each selected transport request, the object list is used to create a new transport of copies. Transports of copies are released and added to the import queue of your consolidation system. You now can import these requests to perform your tests.
Note
Since transports of copies are not included in the CTS delivery mechanism, they are not transported across your system and are, therefore, not imported into your production system.
If the tests of your transports of copies are successful, you release the original transports, which can then be transported across your landscape.
The transports of copies are provided with transport request attributes SAP_CTS_PROJECT
(which contains the CTS project ID) and SAP_TMWFLOW
(which contains the task list ID of your task list).
