Transport request:
An SAP Transport is a package which is used to transfer data from one SAP installation to another. This
change can be from a small change to major change. It can be considered as an “update”, with the only
difference being that SAP transports are made by the SAP users themselves. Each TR contains one or
more change jobs, also known as change Tasks . All the Tasks are stored inside a TR for eg: multiple files
stored in some folder
TR can be released only once, all the tasks inside a TR are completed, released or deleted. Change
requests are named in a standard format as: <SID>K<Number>
SID – System ID
Number – can be anything from a range starting with 90001
Once the Transport request is released, it creates a Data file and Co-file.
Cofile : having the attributes of data file. Co-file is created “K”, Co Files contains the controlling data
Data file : having the data file is created “R”, Data files contain the database details.
Types of transport change request:
1) Workbench Request: Workbench requests are cross-client. Changes done in one client are
automatically reflected in all other clients.
2) Customizing Request: Customizing requests are client specific. The changes will not be reflected in
other clients. For e. g a change done in ECC Dev system will not be reflected in other clients in the same
ECC Dev system. We have to do a client copy using T-code SCC1. You can see the client number next to
this type of request.
Transport Domain Controller:
There will be only one Transport Domain controller in the Landscape. It is used to maintain the
information of all the systems in the Landscape. Initially The DEV system is configured as TP Domain,
but later we can move it to other systems .Mostly it remains in the DEV system only. It is a post
installation activity.
Domain Controller configuration:
First decide which system you would like to define domain controller
Go to SE06
Click the post installation activity
Go to STMS
It will ask for the Domain controller name
Enter system ID of the Domain controller
Enter domain_<Sid> as Domain controller name and enter the description
Click save button
Transport Route:
STMS-–>Overview––>Transport route––>change button ––> click the DEV, QAS & PRO––>click the add
transport route tab ––>then we have to give the <Sid>, transport layer, system name.
Types of editors (For transport routes):
Graphical editor
Hierarchical editor
R3 Trans:
R3trans is used to transport data between SAP Systems and for the migration between different SAP
releases. However, note that R3trans is usually called from other programs, in particular from TP
(Transport Control Program ) and R3 (upgrade control program).
Command : R3 trans –d is used to check the R3 trans connecting to the DB or not.
Trans directory path is – usr\sap\trans\
Types of Transport Request:
Transport request types are 3 and they are
1) K type – with change in integrated system to consolidated system
2) C type – without change in integrated system to consolidated system
3) T type – move the one system to another system
STMS configuration:
Login to the system with DDIC in client 000
Go to the T-Code STMS configured––>standard configured ––> single system, development system, three
systems in group
(Or)
Go to the T-Code STMS ––>overview ––>systems ––> sap systems ––>external system ––>then we have to
give the system name, <Sid>
Steps for Importing Transport Request:
Check if we have an approval on mail to Transport.
Check where we need to Transport (Quality or Production)
Check if STMS is configured
For eg. if we need to move to production go to Production System then T-code STMS in
Production system and if quality then login to quality system
Select the Queue from the list (Quality of Production accordingly)
Refresh the list
Check your Request number to be imported.
Click on the request number and Adjust the queue using symbol
Once queue is adjusted click on the Request number and click on Half Loaded Truck
Never Click on the Full loaded Truck. (if we do so system will be down completely) .To disable the Truck
go to topic no 1.11
Once you click on the Truck you will get below options and fill the information accordingly.
Select type of request Immediate ,at start time or after an Event
In the Execution Tab select Type of Import Synchronous or Asynchronous
Synchronous : Dialog or batch process is blocked until import has ended in synchronous transport
Asynchronous : Dialog or batch process is released after import is started in asynchronous transport
1. Leave Transport request in queue for later Import: This check box causes the requests to be imported
again in correct order with the next import of all requests.
2. Import Transport requests again: This also imports the transport request if it has already been
imported.
3. Overwrite originals: It imports objects if the objects are the originals in the target system. The object
directory entry determines the SAP system where the original version of an object is located.
4. Overwrite objects in unconfirmed repairs: It also imports objects, if they were repaired in the target
system and the repair is not yet confirmed.
5. Ignore Non-permitted transport type: It imports the transport request if this transport type was
excluded by particular settings in the transport profile.
6. Ignore Non-permitted Table Class: It imports data records of a table even if the delivery class of the
table does not permit the data records to be imported
7. Ignore predecessor relations: If you want to import all the requests for one or several projects, but
additional requests from other projects exist for which there are dependencies .This option is switched off
by default, which means the predecessor’s relationships will not be damaged.
8. Ignore Invalid Component Version: This option is used to avoid component mismatch issue
Return Codes
Return Meaning
code
0000 Transport performed without errors
0004 Warnings were issued. All objects were transported successfully.
0008 Individual objects could not be transported successfully. You must analyze and correct the
errors.
Examples of import errors: Original object was not overwritten, Repaired object was not
overwritten(This can be syntax error, program generation error, dictionary activation error or
method execution error)
0012 A critical error has occurred, probably not caused by the contents of the request. You must
inform your system administrator. (indicates import cancelled, program cancelled due to job,
Import cancelled due to object missing, import cancelled due to object not active)
0018 Indicates import cancelled due to system down while import, due to user expired during
import, due to insufficient roles and authorization.
Transport Logs:
1) ALOG – It Specifies the Application Log
2) SLOG – It specifies the Job steps
3) ULOG – Tp commands
Transport status:
D : Modifiable
L : Modifiable Protected
O : Release started
R : Released
N : Released (with import protection for repaired objects)
Note: To change the status of a released TR to unreleased we have to run program “RDDIT076”
Go to SE38
Enter Program name as “RDDIT076”
Click execute
Enter the TR number
Click execute
Double click on the request
Edit the Request type
Change R (Released) to D (modifiable)
How to Deactivate Fully Loaded Truck:
Never click on the Fully loaded Truck during transport
We can deactivate the full Truck option by setting a parameter No_Import_all = 1 using below steps:
1. Log on to your TMS Domain Controller.
2. Tcode – STMS
3. Click on System Overview (3 boxes button)
4. Double click on the system you want to disable Import All button
5. Goto Transport Tool Tab in edit mode.
6. Click on ADD button & add NO_IMPORT_ALL with value 1
7. Save & exit
8. Repeat above steps for all the systems in which you want to disable import all button
