USIS Implementation Configuring Automatic transports

Technically configuring your SAP system(s) for auto-import of transports is the easy part. Adjusting your change control process and security controls is where the true challenge lies. Basically there are only two major technical steps to configure QA auto-imports. The details of how to perform this configuration is described later in this document. 1. Select mass transports as the transport strategy for the desired QA system(s). This step simply provides the ability for mass transports. The next step is what actually implements it. 2. Schedule an IMPORT ALL job to run on a regular basis in the desired QA system(s). The configuration steps shown below assume you have already configured (and tested) your Transport Management System (TMS) to handle transports without the auto-import capability. This document is not intended to address all aspects of TMS configuration.
WARNING!!! Immediately prior to performing the actual configuration you must clean up the contents of the target system(s) import buffer. The first execution of the auto-import job will import ALL transports currently in the target system(s) buffer.

For automatic transports, perform the following configuration steps: 1) In the TMS initial screen (Transaction Code STMS), choose . The screen Display Transport Routes appears displaying the existing transport routes in the transport domain. 2) Switch to the change mode by choosing Configuration->Display <-> Change. 3) Position the cursor on the SAP System for which you want to choose a transport strategy. 4) Choose Edit->System->Change. The dialog box Change System Attributes appears. 5) Choose the tab System attributes and choose Queue-controlled transports / Mass transports as your transport strategy.

6) Choose . 7) Choose Configuration->Distribute and activate. 8) Call Transaction STMS. 9) Choose the import overview button . 10) Position the cursor on the SAP System for which you want to start the import.

11) Choose the display Button. SAP System appears.

12) If you have activated extended transport control, and requests are waiting to be imported into different target clients, you can restrict the import to a single target client by choosing .

Note: For more information on extended transport control, please refer to the SAP Help URL: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/1b/9dc2d6e59911d18 4810000e8a57770/content.htm Only requests with the import status Request waiting to be imported or the status Request is ready for import again are imported. . The dialog box Start Import 13) Choose the mass transport Button appears. 14) In this dialog box, you see the target system and the target client for the import. If extended transport control is not activated, you can define the target client for the import. 15) On the tab Date/deadline, choose the At Start Time radio button, then specify the date/time you want the import to start for the very first time, then choose the drop down on the Period field and select the desired frequency.

16) On the tab page Execution, you can specify how you want the transport control program tp to start.

17) On the tab page Options; you can specify options for the import. You do not usually need to change the defaults. 18) After you have made your settings in the Start Import dialog box, choose Continue. 19) Check and confirm the information on the next dialog box. The dialog box shows you in which system and which target client the import is to be started or is scheduled for. 20) If you are logged on to system A in the transport domain and start an import into system B in this domain, a logon screen for the target system appears (in this case system B).
