Saving Your Work. Uploading the XML to the CCMS. 

Use

After you have finished with the XML configuration, you can store the file in the database and also upload it to the CCMS agent.

Procedure

Saving Your Work

Select an application and choose the Save option – the changes made to the configuration are stored in the database. This option is useful in case you are planning to make further changes to the configuration.

Use Save in order to save your changes to the database. Otherwise, when choosing the Refresh option, or if the connection to the server is lost, your last changes will be lost.

Uploading the XML to the CCMS

When you have a final configuration that you are not planning to change anymore, choose the Upload option on the toolbar to upload the XML file to the CCMS agent.

The upload can be performed only if you have a CCMS agent installed.

In the CCMS agent installation directory there is a folder named grmg, where the XML files are uploaded.

At the time of deployment, the XML file is validated according to the GRMG DTD. If the validation passes successfully, the file is stored in the CCMS agent and in the database. If the validation fails, an error message is displayed prompting you to rewrite your tags according to the GRMG specification. The name of the file in which the configuration is stored must start with the string GRMG_ in order to be noticed by the agent. The directory in which these files are stored is:

·        /usr/sap/temp/grmg – for Unix systems

·        /saploc/prfclog/grmg – for Windows

After the Upload option is selected and the GRMG XML is stored in the CCMS Agent, the file must be transported to an ABAP system. Sometimes this transportation takes nearly an hour. This is a result of the fact that the ABAP system sends requests to the CCMS Agent for new grmg-customizing.xml files at regular intervals of one hour. Therefore, if you have uploaded your XML immediately after an ABAP request has passed, you will have to wait up to one hour for the transportation.
