SAP Transport Basics : 2

Setting up the Transport Management System (TMS):

1.  Create Transport Domain with Transport Domain Controller (TDC)
2. Define systems of Transport Domain.
3. Configuration of Transport Routes. 
4.  QA procedure configuration.

To understand setting we’ll first check what files requires for TMS configuration:

Domain.cfg file:

As long as this file exists in path /usr/sap/trans/bin, that means Transport Domain exists.

Content of this file:

DOMAIN.CFG file

Transport Profile file: (TP_DOMAIN_<SID>.PFL

It contains details of all the system that are included in the Domain.

e.g.: details of 3 systems viz. DEV, QAS & PRD

Transport profile file

Initializing TDC:

Login to system (DEV/QAS/PRD) 000 client only --> STMS -->pop up (TMS: configure Transport Domain)

Behind the scene It goes to /usr/sap/trans/bin directory & checks whether Domain.cfg file exists or not.

If file exist--> Domain already exists

If not --> creates new Domain

Transaction STMS in Client 000 will:

• Assign the SAP system in which you have login as Transport Domain Controller. 
• Create Transport Domain name: DOMAIN_<SID>
• Create Transport Group: GROUP_<SID>
• Create system User TMSADM in client 000.
• Create RFC destination.
• Set up file DOMAIN.CFG in directory /usr/sap/trans/bin (Transport Directory)

 

System Overview

Virtual System concept:

Also known as Place holder.

e.g.:H ere TSQ is place holder. Before implementing these systems, only SHD exists, so we created TSQ virtual system.

You can export transport from SHD though TSQ does not physically exists.

Because you have created virtual system which reserves for SHQ.
